Pool Heater Short Cycling in Crest, CA
If you are dealing with a pool heater that keeps shutting off in Crest, you are not alone. A heater that fires then quits after a minute usually has a flow, pressure-switch, or high-limit fault rather than a dead unit. Local conditions matter: in and around Post-Cedar Fire rebuilds, the driver worth knowing is mineral-heavy well water on newer builds and overdue renovation on older survivors. A specialist in the Refresh Pool Pros network can diagnose it on site in Crest and quote the fix in writing before any work starts.
