| Santa Monica Pool Heater Repair Tips
Today there are still many older generations heaters still working beautifully to warm up our pools and spas. We've evolved from simple millivolt technology (with free-standing gas pilots) to electronic spark-ignition and lo-nox style pool heaters equipped with a Hot Surface Ignitor that fires the furnace. So many technological changes happen in our industry that we find ourselves in constant training. In the city of Santa Monica, pool heater repair is as common as the Valley yet with more salt-erosion / rust issues. Nevertheless, Spectrum is called out regularly and capable to service them. There have been changes in heater construction as Southern California Air Quality Management has mandated - that pool/spa heaters comply with the new low-carbon, low-nitrous oxide standards. These heaters were quickly dubbed "Lo-Nox", and all manufacturers had to retool their plants and produce higher efficient systems that were affordable and competitive technologically. We recommend that you keep a heater that can be repaired as long as the fee is reasonable; and to replace a heater when necessary. Sometimes it becomes necessary because the cabin rusts out due to water exposure. This does present a fire opportunity becuase debris and leaves under the heater can ignite and spread. We install and repair pool and spa heaters of all kinds, however we favor some advances over others and will be happy to discuss this with you.
