Pool Heater Not Heating in Ramona, CA
Pool Heater Not Heating is one of the more common calls we get from Ramona homeowners. No heat, short cycling, or an error code usually points to ignition, gas or airflow, or a scaled heat exchanger. Ramona runs on Ramona Municipal Water District at 12-16 gpg, which is hard water. Around here that means hard well water and heavy seasonal debris wearing down equipment on larger rural lots, and it shows up in problems exactly like this one. A specialist in the Refresh Pool Pros network can diagnose it on site in Ramona and quote the fix in writing before any work starts.
