Pool Heater Short Cycling in Mount Laguna, CA

When a Mount Laguna pool has a pool heater that keeps shutting off, the fix is usually straightforward once the cause is found. 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 Mount Laguna pools contend with freeze-cracked equipment and plumbing from hard mountain winters, a technician here checks a slightly different list than one at the coast would. The pros we work with cover Mount Laguna and can usually get out within the week.
