What we do

Every kind of pump problem.

From a simple electrical fix to a full upgrade, we get the water moving again.

  • Motor replacement

    Screaming or seized motor? We can often replace just the motor and seals and keep your housing.

  • Electrical diagnostics

    Humming, tripping the breaker or dead: capacitors, wiring and timers tracked down safely.

  • Seal & leak repairs

    A puddle under the pump means a failed seal. We replace it before water reaches the bearings.

  • Impeller clearing

    Low or surging flow from a clogged impeller: we open it up and clear the debris.

  • Suction leaks

    Air in the basket or trouble priming: we find and seal the leak.

  • Variable-speed upgrades

    Quieter, better filtration and a much lower electric bill.

Signs your pump needs repair.

Catch these early and you may avoid a full motor failure.

  • Loud screeching or grinding: failing bearings.
  • Humming but not pumping: often a bad start capacitor. Leave it humming and the motor burns out.
  • Water dripping under the pump: a leaking shaft seal.
  • Constant loss of prime: a suction leak.

How it works

Good to know

Straight answers, before you call.

Repair or replace?

A newer pump with a bad capacitor, seal or jammed impeller: repair it. An old single-speed pump with a brittle, sun-baked housing and a dead motor: we’ll recommend a variable-speed pump, which often pays for itself in electricity savings within a few seasons.

Brands we service

Pentair (IntelliFlo, WhisperFlo, SuperFlo), Hayward (EcoStar, Super Pump, TriStar) and Jandy. We carry common capacitors, shaft seals and lid o-rings, and use Century and Nidec replacement motors.

Booster pumps too

Pressure-side cleaner like a Polaris not moving? We repair booster pumps: seals, motors and pressure.

Pool Pump Repair FAQ

Why is my pump humming but not starting?

Most often a bad start capacitor, sometimes a seized motor. Turn it off. Leaving it humming can burn the motor out.

Are variable-speed pumps worth it?

For most pools, yes. They run quieter, filter better and use far less electricity than single-speed pumps.

What should I do if my pump loses prime?

Check that the water level is above the skimmer and the pump lid is sealed. If it keeps happening, there’s probably a suction leak, and we can find it.

Do you repair booster pumps?

Yes, booster pumps for pressure-side cleaners.
