Pool Equipment Repairs

Common Pool Equipment Problems

Pool equipment breaks down when you least expect it. You go to turn on the pump and nothing happens. The heater stops working right when the weather cools off. The automatic cleaner quits halfway through its cycle. These problems are frustrating but they happen to every pool owner eventually. The good news is that most equipment issues can be fixed quickly when you call the right professionals.

Here in Fontana, the hot weather puts extra stress on pool equipment. Pumps and motors work harder in summer heat. Plastic parts become brittle from constant sun exposure. Seals and gaskets dry out and crack. Regular wear and tear eventually catches up with even the best equipment. Our team knows these issues inside and out because we see them every day. We diagnose problems accurately and fix them right the first time.

Equipment We Repair

We work on all major pool equipment brands and types. When something breaks, you want someone who knows what they are doing. Our technicians have years of experience repairing everything from basic pumps to complex automation systems. We carry common replacement parts on our trucks so many repairs get done the same day. For bigger jobs, we order parts quickly and schedule the repair as soon as they arrive.

Pump and Motor Repairs

Your pool pump is the heart of your entire system. When it fails, your pool stops circulating and filtering. Common pump problems include noisy bearings, leaking seals, and burned out motors. Sometimes we can rebuild a pump by replacing seals and bearings. Other times, the motor needs replacing or you need a whole new pump. We evaluate your situation honestly and recommend the most cost-effective solution.

When to Repair vs Replace

This is the big question every pool owner faces when equipment breaks. Should you fix the old unit or buy a new one? The answer depends on several factors. How old is the equipment? Is the repair cost more than half the price of a new unit? Are parts still available? Will the repaired equipment last another few years?

We help you make this decision by giving you all the facts. Sometimes a simple repair gets you several more years of service. Other times, replacing old inefficient equipment actually saves money through lower electric bills. Modern pool pumps, for example, use way less electricity than models from 10 years ago. We never push unnecessary replacements but we also will not waste your money on repairs that only buy you a few more months.

Emergency Repair Service

Some equipment problems cannot wait. A major leak can waste thousands of gallons of water and damage your property. A broken pump in summer heat can turn your pool green in days. We offer priority service for urgent repairs. Call us and we get someone out as quickly as possible to assess the problem and get your pool working again.

Prevention is always better than emergency repairs. Our weekly maintenance service includes equipment inspections that catch small problems before they become big expensive repairs. We also provide filter maintenance and other preventive services. For complete peace of mind, check out our full-service pool care packages that cover everything your pool needs.
