I love mine - and now it has stopped working.

I stopped using T&D for pool service and prefer not to use them for this repair.

I'm looking for someone who knows/works on these roof top solar systems.

Current status: Temp of water (78) flowing into the solar system returns from the system at the same temp (78). Typically, there is at least 15 degree difference between the in and out.

I get that the system is pretty basic and most likely my problem is wiring/electrical/control box - but it's outside my wheelhouse.

Any recommendations on specialized repair people?
Jack's Solar definitely without a doubt!

Could Be Under Warranty
 
If your solar system was installed in the last ten years by Jack’s Solar, the most popular installer of solar pool heating systems, you may find that your system is still under their 10-year warranty.

Call Jack’s at (352) 267-4903 and find out whether they did the installation and whether it’s still under warranty. Even if it’s not still under warranty, if Jack installed it, have them perform the service. His service technician is Derrick (352) 636-9560. Obviously he knows their installation inside and out.

Jack's solar is amazing and very good value. Jack Cahill and his son Derrick know this stuff inside and out. Just replaced my system. Done in one day.

Don’t waste your time! They never show up, and if they do, NO repair but big bill!! SUPERIOR SOLAR out of Orlando. Couldn’t be happier.

Kudos to VillageTinker - he pushed back on the common sense foundation...and was right on point.

I previously thought I 100% understood pool valves - I didn't. Now I do. I was misreading a 3 way actuator valve and (with a big hit to my ego) will admit I was even misreading a 2 outlet Jandy valve. At least I didn't explode the piping!

I "fixed" the problem by actually sending the flow of water to the solar system - that's all that was needed.

Thanks VT for making me re-evaluate my pool valve knowledge.

Thanks to everyone else who pinged in. I copied the contact info for the solar folks cause I know it will be needed at some point down stream.

Thanks for the help - you folks are splendid!
