Pool Heater Short Cycling in La Presa, CA
When a La Presa 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 La Presa pools contend with slab-settling damage and aging equipment on established pools, a technician here checks a slightly different list than one at the coast would. The pros we work with cover La Presa and can usually get out within the week.
