Sunbather repairs from a local authorised dealer

If your Sunbather system has sprung a leak, stopped heating or is throwing water across the roof, you want someone who knows the product, not a general handyman guessing at it. DuoFlow is a Sunbather Authorised Dealer based on the Mornington Peninsula, servicing and repairing Sunbather solar every week, from current Hi-PEC strip systems to setups that have been on the roof for fifteen years or more.

Sunbather Hi-PEC repairs from roof to pool

A fault can start almost anywhere, in the strip on the roof, a loop end, a manifold join, the pipework or the controller. A leak at the pool can trace back to a problem three metres up the roof. That is why we check the whole system before we quote a repair, so you fix the cause once rather than paying for the same fault twice.

  • Sunbather Hi-PEC flexible strip and Kwik Lock manifolds

    Hi-PEC flexible strip solar and roof pipework

    Leaks and damage in the flexible strip, loop ends, manifold connections and roof pipework. This is where most Sunbather solar faults show up.

  • Sunbather SunSwitch solar controller

    SunSwitch controls and sensors

    When the controller reads the wrong temperature or runs the solar at the wrong time of day, the fault is usually a sensor or the controller itself. We test both and put it right.

  • Pool heating pressure gauge used for flow diagnosis

    Pumps, valves and water flow

    Weak flow, air bubbles in the pool or a pump that is straining. We pressure and flow test the circulation to find what is choking the system.

    Older systems and replacement advice

    If your Sunbather solar has done a decade or more and the leaks keep coming, we give you an honest call on whether another repair is worth it or whether it is time to replace.

  • 5 common signs your Sunbather system needs attention

    Spotting these early can save you a bigger repair and a lot of wasted water. If any of these sound familiar, it is worth a look.

    Why is water leaking or dripping from the roof?

    A split in the strip, a worn loop end or a failed manifold join lets treated pool water escape across the roof or down the gutter. Left alone it wastes water and your chemicals, and the leak usually gets worse.

    Why is the pool not reaching temperature?

    Low flow, an air lock, a faulty sensor or a wrong controller setting can stop the solar doing its job even while the system looks like it is running. We test each of these to find which one it is.

    Why is the controller showing the wrong reading?

    A failed sensor or controller can run your solar at the wrong time, or not at all, so the pool never warms up. Testing shows exactly where the signal is dropping out.

    Why are bubbles coming back into the pool?

    Air returning to the pool points to a priming problem, restricted flow, a valve issue or air getting into the system somewhere. We follow the circulation path to find where it is entering.

    What are the black flakes on the pool floor?

    Black rubbery pieces are a classic sign that older strip solar is breaking down inside. We assess whether a local repair still stacks up or whether the collectors have reached the end of their life.

    Why choose DuoFlow for Sunbather repairs

    Genuine Sunbather parts. As an authorised dealer we fit real Sunbather components, not generic parts that give out after a season on a hot Australian roof.

    We find the cause, not just the symptom. Every job starts with a proper pressure and flow test across the full system, so the fault we fix is the fault that was actually costing you heat.

    Honest repair-or-replace advice. If patching an old system is throwing good money after bad, we tell you straight, and we back it with the age and condition of what is on your roof.

    Local and mobile. Based in Somerville, we cover Bayside, the Mornington Peninsula and Greater Melbourne, so a Sunbather specialist is never far away.

    Sunbather repair questions

    A few useful answers before you book. We can give more specific advice once we know what your system is doing.

    Do you repair Sunbather Hi-PEC flexible strip solar systems?

    Yes. Hi-PEC strip solar is one of the systems we repair most. We handle leaks and splits in the strip, loop end and manifold connections, roof pipework and adhesion, right through to the pump and controller that run it.

    Do you repair older Sunbather solar pool heating systems?

    Yes. We repair Sunbather systems of all ages. On older systems whether a repair is worth doing comes down to the condition of the strip and how widespread the wear is, and we give you an honest read on that before you spend anything.

    Can a leak in Sunbather flexible strip solar be repaired?

    Often, yes. A single puncture or a failed connection can usually be repaired. If the strip itself has gone brittle and is leaking in several places, a repair tends to be a short-term fix and replacement is the better value. We check before we recommend either way.

    Do you repair SunSwitch controllers and solar sensors?

    Yes. We diagnose SunSwitch controller faults, temperature sensor problems and the switching and flow issues that come with them. Testing tells us whether the fix is a sensor, a setting or the controller itself.

    Is my Sunbather repair covered by warranty?

    It depends on the product, its age and what caused the fault. We can talk you through what is likely covered, and you can check the current terms on Sunbather warranty page.
