Pool pumps are the workhorses of many swimming pools and hot tubs. However, even these parts of your pool system can break down and may need repair. Pool pumps circulate the water through your pool or spa through the filter, cleaning it and ensuring that the chemicals that treat it keep the water clean.
If you have a water fixture in your pool, the pool pump (or a smaller, separate one) can keep that water in circulation, as well. Waterfalls, fountains, and other types of fixtures in both homes and commercial or multi-family facilities are also powered by pool pumps. If the pump fails, then you may need a replacement or pool pup repair.
Common Issues With Pool Pumps
Inevitably, you’ll need pool pump repair. While your preventative maintenance service from a reputable pool company can help you troubleshoot or take care of small repairs before they turn bigger, you may also notice things on your own that indicate that you’ll need pool pump repair.
For example, high-pitched squealing or buzzing sounds from your pump or housing is a very obvious indication that you’ll need something done. Luckily, we’re trained to troubleshoot all major brands and models. Low water flow is another indicator that your pump isn’t working right. A thorough, professionally executed examination of your filtration system is the first step in the pool pump repair process.

Pool Pumps and California Law
There’s another good reason for the pool pump replacement.

We’ll take a look at your current system and determine whether or not you have to have it replaced. If you do have one of the newer controllers, then we can easily put in a new high-efficiency pump which can be programmed with the existing controller.
