Possible Causes
Oversized heater relative to pool volume, Incorrect thermostat placement or sensor readings, Flow switch chatter due to unstable water flow, Incorrect control parameter settings
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power before adjusting internal controls.
- Check flow stability: Ensure the pool pump runs continuously during heating and that valves are not partially closing due to automation.
- Verify temperature setpoint: Avoid setting the temperature very close to current water temperature; increase the differential if possible.
- Inspect sensors: Confirm that inlet and outlet sensors are properly installed and not exposed to ambient air.
- Review control settings: In advanced controllers, adjust anti‑short‑cycle timers or hysteresis according to the Hewalex manual.
