Your pool heater may have inadequate water flow due to a dirty filter, closed valve, external bypass, reversed water connections, or pressure switch out of adjustment. It is also possible that your thermostat is out of calibration or requires to be replaced.
How do I control the temperature of my pool?
Heat pumps have a built-in thermostat most units come with dual digital controlled thermostats that can handle both your pool and your spa. Once the desired temperature is reached, the thermostat will shut the unit off or turn it back on if the water temperature drops by more than two degrees.
What is the temperature range for a heat pump?
Typically, heat pumps have cooling operating temperature range of 15°F to 115°F (-10°C to 46°C). This means that if you live in ANY part of USA, a heat pump will provide adequate cooling.
Why is my pool heat pump not working?

Measure the air temperature difference (A(Delta)T). A(Delta)T should measure between 9° and 12°F (5° and 7°C). If it does, then your heat pump is operating normally, and your heating failure is most likely due to inadequate run time of the heat pump.
What is the average life of a pool heater?
