Pool heater not working — Barcelona, Catalonia
A pool heater that fails to ignite, shuts off mid-cycle, or can't reach the set temperature turns your pool into an unusable investment during cooler months. Gas heaters can develop ignitor failures, clogged burner trays, or corroded heat exchangers; heat pumps may have refrigerant leaks or defrost-cycle faults. A pool and spa technician can troubleshoot the control board, test gas pressure or refrigerant levels, clean or replace components, and restore reliable heating.
