How Do You Repair Swimming Pool Solar Panels?
Swimming pool solar panels eventually leak. Ultra violet light damage and freezing temperatures often cause solar panel tube leaks. Leaks will be found in the small diameter tubes and where these meet the larger diameter upper and lower tubes. Use the following steps to repair leaks in solar pool panels. Identify leaking solar panels. Run the solar pool heating system to circulate water through the panels. Leaks will be seen as drip lines from the large upper and lower tubes. Leaks in individual channel tubes will be seen as a stream of water. Use chalk or nail polish to mark each leak. Turn off the pool pump and allow the panels to drain and dry completely. Identify the brand of solar panels you own. Search online for a solar panel repair kit that includes a tube cutting tool and tapered rubber plugs. For example, Fafco solar panels have their own affordable solar repair kit as noted in the Resource Links below. If you cannot find a repair kit, you can still make the necessary repairs
