Repairing Pentair Pool Heaters
Pentair has made many versions of its pool heaters over the years. Our technicians check the model and serial number, review known issues for that model family and test before replacing parts, so you only pay for what is actually needed.
How we repair your Pentair Pool Heater
A pool heater warms swimming pool water with a gas burner, an electric heat pump, or electric resistance elements as water passes through its heat exchanger. A pool heater usually combines a heater, pumps, filters, sanitizing systems and a control panel with sensors, often outdoors and near water. A technician checks power and safety switches, water flow, heating and sensors, and inspects for leaks and corrosion.

Common Pentair Pool Heater problems we fix
What usually causes each symptom, and what our technician checks to confirm it.
Sooting or black smoke
- Likely causes
- Poor combustion from blocked air intake, debris in the burner, or wrong gas pressure.
- What our technician checks
- Burners, air supply and gas pressure are inspected.
Heater cycles on and off
- Likely causes
- A dirty filter restricting flow, an incorrect bypass setting, or a faulty thermostat.
- What our technician checks
- Flow, bypass and temperature controls are tested.
Error codes
- Likely causes
- Sensor faults, flow issues, or ignition lockouts.
- What our technician checks
- Codes are read and components tested.
Heat pump runs but does not heat
- Likely causes
- Low refrigerant from a leak, a failed fan or compressor, ice on the evaporator coil, or cold air temperatures.
- What our technician checks
- Refrigerant pressures, fan and compressor operation and coil condition are checked.
Heater will not fire
- Likely causes
- Low water flow, a pressure switch that does not close, a failed igniter or flame sensor, or low gas pressure.
- What our technician checks
- The technician checks pump flow and the pressure switch, measures gas pressure, and tests the ignition system.
Water leaking from the heater
- Likely causes
- A cracked heat exchanger, failed gaskets, or condensation on a heat pump.
- What our technician checks
- Leak source is traced; heat pump condensation is normal while running.
Quick checks you can do safely
- Make sure the pool pump is running and the filter is clean.
- Check that the heater is set to heat and the thermostat is above water temperature.
- Clear leaves and debris from around the heater.
- Check the gas valve or breaker.
- Note any error code on the display.
Safety first: Gas pool heaters produce carbon monoxide and involve gas lines, and heat pumps hold refrigerant under pressure, so leave internal repairs to a technician.
