You purchased your Heliocol pool heating system and have been enjoying it for some time now. While known for their low maintenance requirements, what is needed to ensure the continued optimal performance of your Heliocol system? Let’s find out!
Routine Heliocol Maintenance
Routine Heliocol maintenance is simple. First, periodically check your solar panels for damage or accumulation of dirt or leaves. If you find debris, then clean the panels with a garden hose and a soft brush. Be sure to avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals as these can damage your panels. Check your plumbing connections and fittings ensuring that they are tight and secure with no signs of leaks or wear. Finally, monitor the performance of your system. If you find that there is a sudden drop in water temperature, this indicates that your system needs professional attention.
Seasonal Heliocol Maintenance
In colder climates, it is important to ensure you ‘winterize’ your system to protect it from seasonal damage. This usually means draining the water out of your system to reduce damage from freezing temperatures. Water left in a system that freezes damages your panels and pipes, creating a need for costly repairs.
Once the weather warms up, following the start-up procedures in the Heliocol manual ensures a smooth transition into the swimming season with a well-functioning system. If you are unsure about this process, the experienced technicians at Solaron are more than happy to help.
Professional Maintenance
To protect your Heliocol investment, professional maintenance is suggested. Once a year request a trained technician to inspect your system, checking all the key components. During inspection, if any problems are found, they can be rectified quickly, ensuring that your system continues to perform at its best.
Aside from an annual technician inspection, if during your personal routine check of your system you notice any issues that you cannot resolve on your own, request that an experienced technician come out and perform an inspection as well. It is better to address any possible issues promptly to prevent further damage to your system.
