Pump, filter, or chlorinator playing up? We test the gear and fix the actual fault so it doesn't just break again next week.
What we do
Repairs for pumps, filters, chlorinators, and heaters
Before we arrive
Send a photo of the broken gear and any error screens.
Safety first
Switch off anything that smells burnt, leaks onto wires, or makes a grinding noise.
The gear will not turn on
You hear loud noises or grinding
There is a leak at the equipment pad
An error code is showing
The flow is weak or the pressure is high
You want to know if it is worth fixing
Equipment age and condition
Water flow and pressure
Power supply and connections

Control settings and timers
Cost of repair versus replacement
Pool equipment we work on
We check the equipment, water path and controls before we recommend a repair.
Common problems
The same problem can have a few different causes. We test before we start replacing gear.
What might cause it
Worn motor bearings, debris in the impeller, cavitation, or a suction restriction starving the pump
How we check
We separate hydraulic noise from motor noise by checking prime, suction conditions, impeller movement and shaft condition
What might cause it
Loaded or channelled media, an inaccurate gauge, an internal filter fault, or a restriction in the return line
How we check
We establish the clean operating pressure, verify the gauge, check the return path and inspect the media or internals if the pressure remains abnormal
What might cause it
Actual flow may be below the switch threshold, or the flow switch, cell orientation, filter or valve setting may be at fault
How we check
We confirm circulation at the returns, check the hydraulic restriction and test the flow switch response before replacing parts
Our process
We check the exact model and how it is plumbed in.
We look at the water flow, pressure, and power.
We work out if it is cheaper to repair or replace.
We fix it, turn it on, and make sure the whole system works.
After the visit
We replace the broken part and get it running.
We fix the flow or valve problem that caused the fault.
We quote a new unit if the old one is too far gone.
Questions
Straight answers to the questions we hear most often.
Yes. A photo of the label helps us check if parts are available before we arrive.
No. Some parts are no longer made, and some repairs cost too much compared to a new unit.
Yes. We look at the flow, water balance, and pipework so the new part does not break too.
We carry common parts like seals and capacitors. Specific parts are ordered after we diagnose the fault.
Yes, as long as it is safe and we can get parts for it.
