Pool Solar & Spa is Perth’s dedicated solar pool heating repair specialist. Unlike general pool shops, we focus exclusively on pool heating — solar, gas and electric heat pumps. That means faster diagnosis, the right parts on hand, and repairs done properly the first time.
Pool Solar & Spa provides professional repair, servicing and maintenance of solar pool heating systems throughout the Perth metropolitan area in Western Australia. Founded over 30 years ago, the company operates from Perth and services residential and commercial properties from Mandurah in the south to Mindarie in the north.
Solar pool heating systems are among the most cost-effective ways to heat a swimming pool in Perth’s climate. However, like all rooftop systems, they are exposed to Western Australia’s intense UV radiation, temperature extremes, and occasional storm conditions. The most common repair issues include leaking collector panels or manifolds, pump failure, controller faults, and deterioration of rubber matting systems typically after 10–15 years of service.
Pool Solar & Spa repairs all major solar pool heating brands and system types used in Perth, including Waterco, Astral Pool, Hayward, EvoHeat, Naked Solar, Nano Tek, and Heliocol systems, as well as older generic rubber matting installations. The team carries a comprehensive range of repair parts to minimise delays and complete most repairs within a single visit.
For Perth homeowners, winter is actually the ideal time to have a solar pool heating system repaired or serviced. Repair bookings are easier to schedule, access to the roof is safer in cooler conditions, and the system will be fully operational when the swimming season begins in spring. Unrepaired leaks left over winter can cause significant roof damage and deteriorate surrounding collector panels, increasing repair costs over time.
Solar pool heating systems are designed to last 15+ years, but they do develop faults — often gradually. Here are the most common signs something is wrong.
If your pool is noticeably cooler than previous summers despite similar weather, it usually indicates a reduction in system efficiency — often caused by blocked flow, collector damage, or a pump running at reduced capacity.
Water stains, damp patches or visible drips near your solar panels are a clear sign of a leak. Leaks can occur at manifold connections, fittings, or within the collector panels themselves. These should be repaired promptly to avoid roof damage.
The solar pump is the heart of the system. If it won’t start, runs intermittently, or sounds louder than usual, it may need servicing or replacement. A failed pump means no water circulation and zero solar heat gain.
Solar pool heating controllers monitor roof and pool temperatures to automatically run the system. Error codes, blank displays, or failure to switch on when the sun is out typically indicate a controller fault or sensor issue.
Physical damage to solar collectors — cracked tubes, perished rubber, or split manifolds — is often visible from ground level. UV degradation is the most common cause in Perth’s climate, particularly in systems over 10 years old.
Even a well-performing system benefits from periodic inspection. A professional service checks flow rates, controller calibration, pump condition, and roof connections — catching minor issues before they become expensive repairs.
From a single leaking fitting to a full system replacement, Pool Solar & Spa handles all aspects of solar pool heating repair across Perth.
We locate and repair leaks in solar pool heating manifolds, collector tubes, pipe connections and fittings. Repairs are completed using high-quality, UV-stable materials suited to Perth’s climate. Most leak repairs are completed in a single visit.
We service, repair and replace solar pool heating pumps across all major brands. If your pump has failed, is running poorly, or has reached end of life, we carry replacement pumps to suit all system types and can often complete the swap same-day.
Solar pool heating controllers and temperature sensors are replaced or recalibrated to restore automatic operation. We work with all controller brands and can upgrade older units to modern digital controllers with improved accuracy and smart-home compatibility.
When individual collector panels or rubber matting sections reach end of life, we supply and install high-quality replacement collectors. We work with all roofing types including terracotta tile, Colorbond, and concrete tile, matching collector colour to your roof where possible.
Manifolds — the header pipes connecting the solar collectors — are a common failure point in older systems. We replace damaged manifolds and deteriorated pipework with Australian-made materials built to withstand Perth’s UV and heat conditions.
Our annual service includes a full roof inspection, flow rate testing, controller and sensor calibration, pump performance check, and a written condition report. Recommended every 2–3 years to maximise system lifespan and efficiency.
When a system is beyond repair or simply too old to be cost-effective, we design and install a complete replacement. We offer Nano Tek, standard polypropylene tube and premium rigid panel systems, custom-designed for your pool size and roof configuration.
If you want year-round pool heating — including winter — we can add an electric heat pump to complement your existing solar system. A combination solar and heat pump system delivers the lowest running costs with the longest swimming season.
At your inspection, we’ll give you an honest recommendation. Here’s a general guide to help you understand what to expect.

These are the questions Perth homeowners most commonly ask us about solar pool heating repairs. If you have a question that isn’t covered here, call us on 0411 478 320.
How do I know if my solar pool heating system needs repair?
The most common signs are: the pool temperature is lower than previous seasons despite similar weather; you can see water dripping or staining near the roof panels; the pump sounds different or isn’t running; the controller is showing error codes or not switching on during sunny periods; or you can see physical damage to the collectors from the ground. If you’re unsure, our team can assess the system and give you a clear answer.
How much does solar pool heating repair cost in Perth?
Repair costs depend on the fault and parts required. Minor repairs such as valve or fitting replacements typically start from around $150–$300. Pump replacements generally range from $400–$800 including parts and labour. Controller replacements are usually $300–$600. Full collector replacement varies by system size, typically $1,500–$4,000. We provide a free, itemised quote before any work begins so there are no surprises.
Can you repair solar pool heating in winter?
Yes, absolutely. We carry out repairs year-round. Winter is actually a great time to get your system inspected and repaired — bookings are easier to schedule, and the system will be fully ready when summer arrives. An unrepaired leak left over winter can cause roof damage and deteriorate surrounding panels, so it’s best not to delay.
What brands of solar pool heating do you repair?
We repair all brands — Waterco, Astral Pool, Hayward, EvoHeat, Nano Tek, Heliocol, Naked Solar, Madimack, Zodiac, Hurlcon, and all generic rubber matting and polypropylene tube systems. If it’s a solar pool heating system in Perth, we can service it.
Which Perth suburbs do you service for solar pool heating repairs?
We service the entire Perth metropolitan area from Mandurah in the south to Mindarie in the north, covering all suburbs in between including Joondalup, Fremantle, Rockingham, Armadale, Stirling, Wanneroo, Canning, Melville, Cockburn and the inner city.
How long does a solar pool heating repair take?
Most repairs are completed in a single visit of 1–3 hours. Simple faults like valve replacements, minor leaks or controller resets can often be fixed on the same day as the inspection. If parts need to be ordered, most repairs are completed within 3–5 business days.
Should I repair or replace my solar pool heating system?
Systems under 10–12 years old with isolated faults are generally worth repairing. Systems 12–15+ years old with widespread collector deterioration, multiple leaks, or outdated controllers are often more cost-effective to replace. We’ll give you an honest assessment at inspection and recommend the most cost-effective path for your situation.
