Do you have a pool pump that is noisy, leaking, tripping power, not working? Want to know why your pool pump suddenly stopped working? Bearing problems, motor malfunctions, or pump blockages can be indicated by loud screeching, humming, or grinding noises.The alternate reason that pumps fail, get noisy or start leaking, is simply, age. When the important parts wear out, it affects the pump’s operation, and therefore the quality of your swimming experience. If you service your pump every 4-5 years, the same way that you service your car, this will keep it running at its optimum performance, and keep your swimming pool inviting all year round.Our technicians will diagnose your pump and call you with a quote letting you know what we would recommend for repair.
Decreased Water Flow
No water flow can happen for a few reasons, and if not rectified quickly can lead to damaged pumps, broken impellors, and leaking mechanical seals costing much more than expected. If the water is not circulating properly, it could be due to a blockage(Blocked Baskets), an impeller that has worn out, or a motor that is malfunctioning.If you’re still having continued issues with your pool’s water flow, the fastest and simplest way to find a solution is to call us or book a pool survey, we are always on hand to help troubleshoot

Pool Pump Leaks
If water is leaking from the pump itself then you have a very big problem on your hands. Water pooling below the pump indicates a potential seal malfunction, warranting a possible need for replacement. Once water bypasses the mechanical seals and flows into your pump motor, it’s game over. So if your pump itself is leaking then don’t delay, replace your mechanical seal immediately!
Motor Failures
Potential capacitor issues, electrical problems, or an overheated motor are indicated by failure of the pump to start or sudden stops

Pool pump is sucking in air
If your pool pump is sucking in air instead of water then the problem is usually located at the suction side of your pool.Full skimmer and pump baskets can impede the flow of water and cause your pool pump to suck in air. While it may sound funny, a stuck weir door can actually cause your pool pump to suck in air. Simple enough problem right?
Pool pump is running hot
Pool pumps generate heat but they should never run too hot! How hot is too hot? Well, at full load, you should still be able to touch the motor end of the pump without burning yourself. Take note, touch, not hold. But once it gets to the searing hot point, then there’s definitely something wrong with your pump.

Key Components in Pool Pump Repair
Pool pump repair is a critical aspect of maintaining a clean and functional swimming environment. Early recognition and prompt resolution of malfunction signs, coupled with regular maintenance, can ensure that the pool remains inviting for years to come. While repairs are often viable, opting for a complete pump replacement can yield long-term advantages in terms of performance and energy efficiency.
Seals and O-Rings
These mechanisms prevent water leakage. Over time, they may wear out, leading to small leaks. Regular lubrication can extend their life, but they often need replacement after prolonged usage
Impeller
This element is responsible for propelling water in the pump. Its efficacy can be diminished by debris clogging the impeller. To restore optimal pump performance, it is necessary to either clean or replace a damaged impeller.
Motor
Signs of a motor that is in distress, such as unusual noises, overheating, or failure to start. The motor's condition severity will determine whether repairs or a full replacement is necessary.
Capacitors
These components store and release electrical energy required to start the motor. If the capacitor is defective, it may result in the failure of the motor to start, and replacement will be necessary
Pool pump is sucking in air
If your pool pump is sucking in air instead of water then the problem is usually located at the suction side of your pool.
BLACK SPOT ALGAE
Black Spot is particularly hard to get rid of when it takes up residence on the walls and floors or embedded in grout between tiles of your pool. Caused by poor chlorination or high phosphate levels. The algae can feed on the phosphates, stimulating its growth. However, Black Spot has been known to survive even when there are low phosphate levels in the pool water.
Why Haven’t You Requested A Quote ?
There is no bigger letdown to a pool than its surrounding area being in disarray, and a tired or misplaced pool can undermine the value and impact of an otherwise great home and garden. This is why renovating a garden often begins with the pool, whether it needs a facelift or something

Perhaps, you have been blessed with children or grandchildren who are beginning to swim.

Structural changes may also include changes or replacement of your pipes, main drain, and skimmer box.
Learn MoreBroken Pool Light Repairs
While a burned out light may seem just like an inconvenience, it is worth noting that if your pool light dies suddenly, it will be a good idea to at least give the light receptacle a good check, even if you don’t plan on replacing the light with a LED light soon. Why is this? Well, water and electricity don’t mix! If the pool light failure was caused by a leak, then sealing up the light receptacle or cutting off the power supply to the light port is a good “repair” in itself. If the light has naturally died then you have nothing to worry about and you can just wait until you have the budget to replace the light bulbs at your own leisure.
Learn MorePool Heater / Heat Pump Repairs
If your heat pump or heater isn’t warming up your water then getting it repaired is the way to go. But before calling in for warranty, here are things that you can check before calling in the cavalry. Is the temperature control set right? Sometimes a power failure can cause digital temperature controls to reset to a low number and it won’t raise the temperature of your pool. Are the valves open? Yes, we’ve done this before as well. We kept trying to figure out why our heat pump wasn’t kicking on and the fix was simple, the valves leading to the unit were shut off! No water = no heating! Are your filters clean? Many modern units with flow detectors won’t turn on if there’s a reduction in water pressure. If your filters are dirty then this may cause reduced water flow to your heater!
