Common Pool Equipment Problems We Fix
Pool Pump Won't Start
Symptoms: Pump won't turn on, trips circuit breaker, or hums but doesn't run. Water circulation stops completely.
Common causes: Bad capacitor ($50-100 fix), seized motor bearings ($150-300), thermal overload, or electrical connection failure.
Our fix: Same-day diagnostics to identify exact cause. Most issues resolved within 1-2 hours. Motor replacement available if needed ($300-600 depending on horsepower).
Pump Leaking Water
Symptoms: Water pooling under pump, dripping from seals, or spraying from connections. Air bubbles in return jets.
Common causes: Worn shaft seal ($75-150 repair), cracked pump housing, loose drain plugs, or deteriorated o-rings.
Our fix: Seal replacement (most common), housing replacement, or upgrade to new pump if housing is cracked and pump is 10+ years old.
Weak Water Flow / Low Pressure
Symptoms: Weak return jets, slow water movement, poor skimming, or "low flow" error on heater/salt system.
Common causes: Clogged impeller ($100-150 cleaning), dirty filter (needs backwash/cartridge cleaning), blocked plumbing, or incorrect pump speed settings.
Our fix: Impeller cleaning/replacement, filter service, plumbing inspection, and flow optimization. Usually resolved same-visit.
Loud Grinding or Screeching Noises
Symptoms: Pump makes grinding, screeching, or rattling sounds. Noise gets worse over time.
Common causes: Failing motor bearings ($150-300), debris stuck in impeller, or loose internal components.
Our fix: Bearing replacement for newer pumps, impeller cleaning/replacement, or motor replacement if bearings are completely failed. We advise on repair vs. upgrade to modern variable-speed pump.
Filter, Salt System & Automation Failures
We also repair: Cartridge/sand/DE filters (torn cartridges, broken laterals, cracked housings), salt chlorinator cells (scaled/failed cells, circuit boards), automation systems (Pentair EasyTouch, Hayward OmniLogic, Jandy AquaLink), and chlorinators.
Our fix: Complete diagnostics and repair for all pool equipment. We carry common parts and complete most repairs same-visit.
Our Pool Equipment Repair Process
Same-Day Diagnostic Evaluation
We arrive same-day or next-day to diagnose your equipment problem. Our technicians inspect pumps, motors, seals, impellers, filters, electrical connections, plumbing, and automation systems. Diagnostic evaluation is FREE when you proceed with repair.
Honest Repair vs. Replace Advice
After diagnosis, we provide clear pricing and honest recommendations. If your equipment is old and repair costs approach replacement cost, we discuss upgrading to modern, energy-efficient equipment. We never push unnecessary replacements—we give you options and let you decide.
Expert Repair (All Major Brands)
Our technicians repair Pentair, Hayward, Jandy, Sta-Rite, Zodiac, and all major brands. We carry common parts (capacitors, seals, o-rings, impellers) in our trucks and complete most repairs same-visit. For specialty parts, we source and install within 24-48 hours.
Testing & Quality Verification
After repair, we test pumps under load, verify proper flow rates, check for leaks, test electrical connections, and ensure all equipment operates correctly. We also inspect filters and other components to catch potential future problems before they cause failures.
Service Warranty on All Repairs
All equipment repairs come with our service warranty. If the same issue reoccurs within the warranty period, we return to fix it at no additional charge. Parts carry manufacturer warranties, and we handle all warranty claims and coordination for you.
Upgrade to Variable-Speed Pump & Save 50-75% on Energy
Old Single-Speed Pumps:
- • Run at full power 24/7 (1.5-2 HP)
- • Cost $50-100/month in electricity
- • Extremely loud operation
- • Wear out faster from constant high-speed
- • No ability to adjust flow for different tasks
- Annual energy cost: $600-1,200
Modern Variable-Speed Pumps:
- • Adjust speed for different tasks (cleaning, filtering, heating)
- • Cost $15-30/month in electricity (50-75% savings)
- • Whisper-quiet operation at low speeds
- • Last 2-3x longer than single-speed pumps
- • Qualify for Florida utility rebates ($50-200)
- Annual energy cost: $180-360 (saves $420-840/year)
Variable-Speed Pumps Pay for Themselves in 2-3 Years
If your pump needs a $400+ repair and it's 8+ years old, upgrading to variable-speed makes better financial sense. Lower energy bills, rebates, and longer lifespan offset the upfront cost. We handle full installation, electrical work, and programming.
