Equipment Repair

The part most pool companies hand to somebody else.

Pumps, filters, heaters, salt systems, plumbing and valves — diagnosed and repaired directly, with a background in mechanical and fabrication work behind it.

No referral, no second contractor, no three-week wait for someone else to call you back.

What's included

What I diagnose and repair.

Pumps and motors

Seals, bearings, impellers and lids. Loss of prime, air leaks on the suction side, and noise that means something is about to fail.

Filters

Sand changes, cartridge replacement, multiport valve rebuilds, internal laterals, and finding the reason sand keeps coming back to the pool.

Heaters

Ignition faults, error codes, pressure switches, and heat exchangers ruined by water that was never balanced properly.

Salt systems

Cell cleaning and replacement, controllers that read wrong, and output that has quietly dropped off over two seasons.

Plumbing and valves

Leaks, cracked unions, seized or wrongly-set valves, and repiping at the pad where it has been added to one repair at a time.

Straight diagnosis

You get told what is wrong, what it costs, and whether it is worth fixing or replacing. Sometimes the honest answer is to leave it alone.

How it works

  1. Describe the symptom

    What it is doing, what changed, and any error code on the display. A photo of the equipment pad tells me a great deal before I arrive.

  2. Diagnose on site

    The system gets run and tested rather than guessed at. Replacing parts until something works is not diagnosis.

  3. Quote before work

    You get the cost and the options before anything is taken apart. No work happens without your say-so.

  4. Repair and verify

    Fixed, run, and checked under load — then a report of what was replaced and why.

Common questions

My pump is loud. Is that serious?

Usually it is bearings, and it is a warning rather than an emergency — but a bearing that fails completely can take the motor with it. It is much cheaper addressed early.

Do you work on equipment you did not install?

Yes. Most of what I see is existing equipment of every age and brand.

Is it worth repairing an old heater?

Sometimes, sometimes not. If the heat exchanger is scaled through, repair costs approach replacement and you are buying a short reprieve. I will tell you which situation you are in.

Do I need to be on weekly service to get a repair?

No. Repairs and diagnostics are available on their own.
