The STE4 solar attic pool heating system is designed for reliability and longevity. With minimal maintenance, your system will provide years of efficient pool heating. Here are our best practices.
Check Thermostat Settings: Verify your desired pool temperature is set correctly (typically 78-85°F).
Inspect Status Indicators: Look for any warning lights or alerts on the control unit.
Listen for Normal Operation: The motorized valve should open and close quietly. Unusual noises may indicate a problem.
Clean Filters: The system includes filters that should be cleaned every 3 months. This is a simple 5-minute task.
Check Connections: Visually inspect all visible connections for leaks or corrosion.
Test Thermostat: Adjust the thermostat up and down to ensure it responds properly.
Professional Inspection: We recommend an annual professional inspection to ensure everything is working optimally.
Check Valve Operation: Our technicians will verify the motorized valve opens and closes smoothly.
Sensor Calibration: Temperature sensors will be checked and calibrated if needed.
Spring through Fall (9-Month Season): Monitor pool temperature daily. The system should maintain your set temperature automatically throughout the extended swimming season. This is the primary operating period for the STE4 system.
Winter (Off-Season): The system is typically inactive during winter months when attic temperatures are too low for effective pool heating.
Pool Not Heating: Check that thermostat is set correctly and attic temperature is higher than pool temperature.
Valve Not Opening: Ensure power is connected to the control unit and check for error indicators.
Unusual Noises: Contact our support team for any strange sounds from the system.
