Pool Heater Short Cycling in Granite Hills, CA
Pool Heater Short Cycling is one of the more common calls we get from Granite Hills homeowners. A heater that fires then quits after a minute usually has a flow, pressure-switch, or high-limit fault rather than a dead unit. Because Granite Hills pools contend with decades-old plaster and extreme mineral scale pushing equipment past its expected life, a technician here checks a slightly different list than one at the coast would. Call and we will connect you with a Granite Hills pool pro who finds the real cause, not a guess.
Likely causes in Granite Hills
- Low water flow tripping the high-limit or pressure switch

What to check before you call
- Confirm the pump runs strong and the filter is clean
