Pool Heater Short Cycling in La Jolla, CA
If you are dealing with a pool heater that keeps shutting off in La Jolla, 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. Because La Jolla pools contend with salt-spray corrosion on premium clifftop equipment and finishes, a technician here checks a slightly different list than one at the coast would. A specialist in the Refresh Pool Pros network can diagnose it on site in La Jolla and quote the fix in writing before any work starts.
Likely causes in La Jolla
- 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
- Open any valves that feed the heater fully
- Note the error code when it shuts down
- Check for debris blocking the heater intake or vent
