If you want to be able to use your swimming pool year-round, a pool heater is a necessity, and your swimming pool heater can be very good, but if the gas line installation is not done correctly, it will not work safely and efficiently. At Aqua Mechanic we install gas lines for pool heaters, where we will be using both safety and operational efficiency as an emphasis. If you are doing a new pool project or a replacement we would like to share some things you need to know about gas line installation for pool heaters.

This is why gas line installation is done by a Professional

While installing a gas line may seem like a simple project to take on yourself, it is much more complicated than it appears. Gas lines need to follow the local planning and building codes, which will dictate the installation of the lines; and of course, gas line installation requires a certain amount of technical skills.

No one wants gas leaks and unsafe operating conditions, and no one wants excess operational costs or unplanned repairs that could have been prevented by a gas line installed correctly and to code. Our licensed professionals have the knowledge of the specific characteristics, techniques and materials to ensure your gas line installation for a pool heater was done correctly and compliant with installation code.

Optimal placement

One of the most important components of any safe and long-lasting installation is placement of the gas line. Gas lines should preferably be laid outside of the building, on outside paths, such as along courtyards, perimeter walls, boundary walls, or other outside locations. It minimizes many risks involving indoor gas lines, like chance of gas leaks or limitations on access.

By placing the gas line outside, this also provides better access for future inspections and services. This is especially pertinent in Florida's humid climate and soil that shift over time, because underground lines change over time and possibly might be impacted

Here at Aqua Mechanic, we prioritize minimization of the path inside the premises as much as possible to keep your home and family safe as well as make maintenance simpler.

At Aqua Mechanic, our gas line connection procedure has thoroughly covered the basis and provides transparency on what occurs on our process from start to end. Specifically here is the process:

-First, we begin with a thorough field assessment of where final route of the gas line will be routed. The Aqua Mechanic expert will assess the external requirements of your pool heater, layout of your property and existing gas infrastructure.

-We will submit all permits and hold all installations up to the applicable local and state codes. Each project will be designed to meet safety standards based on the layout of your property.

-We trench softly along pre-approved exterior paths like courtyards or border walls, to ensure the gas line is easily accessible, and we can keep it way out of the way.

-Once installed, we will connect the line to your pool heater and perform comprehensive pressure tests to confirm that there are no leaks or unsafe issues.
