Common Problems We Fix
Leaking Panels
The most common issue. Water dripping from panels during operation, usually caused by UV degradation, thermal stress, or physical damage. We locate the exact leak and repair or replace the affected section.
Cracked Tubes
After years of sun exposure, panel tubes can become brittle and crack. If cracking is localized, we can repair or replace individual panels. Widespread cracking usually means full replacement.
Header Failures
Leaks at the top or bottom edge of panels, where tubes connect to the header pipe. These require precision repair work but can often be fixed without replacing entire panels.
Shifted Panels
Panels can sometimes shift out of alignment, typically due to high winds. Our technicians will safely reposition and resecure your solar pool panels back to their proper layout, restoring system performance, improving appearance, and preventing potential damage or leaks.
Valve Problems
System not turning on, not diverting water to panels, or running constantly. Check valves, diverter valves, and vacuum relief valves can all fail over time—usually a straightforward fix.
Poor Performance
System runs, but the pool doesn't warm. Could be clogged panels, flow restrictions, pump issues, or aging panels. We diagnose the issue and recommend the most cost-effective solution.

The problem is valves, plumbing, or minor leaks​​​
​​

Panels still have life left in them
Replacement Makes Sense When:

The system is 15+ years old
​​
-
Multiple panels show cracking or brittleness
​
-
You've had repeated repairs recently​​

Performance is poor across the system
