Common Problem

Pool Heater Not Heating? Common Causes and Next Steps

Heater issues generally fall into ignition problems (won't fire) and performance problems (fires but no heat). Both should be diagnosed by a qualified provider.

Most likely causes

  • Low gas pressure
  • Dirty flame sensor
  • Scale on heat exchanger
  • Bad thermistor or high-limit switch

What to do now

Verify filter pressure is normal and the pump is running. Then consider scheduling a heater diagnostic. Do not bypass safety switches.
