Repairing Pool Equipment

Pumps - The Swimming Pool Pump is the part of the pool that makes the water flow through the pipes. Without proper circulation, none of the pool equipment would be any good. You have to run water through the equipment to make it work. This is what the pump does. Most pool problems have something to do with the bad operation of a pump.
Often a pump will suck air or leak water. Sometimes your pump will make loud noises. Sometimes it just wont work at all.
Your pump isn't always a gonner though. Pumps are easy to fix they just take time and parts. Sometimes your better off getting a new pump than paying to repair an old one.

Filters - The Swimming Pool Filter is the part of the pool system that grabs particles as the water is flowing through it. This purifies the water and removes cloudiness. If your pool is cloudy or the water isn't flowing and your pump is working fine, then you might need help with your filter.
Filters need to be cleaned 2-3 times a year for a normal small home pool. More use will clog the filter sooner. It takes about an hour to clean a filter and either a professional can do it for you or you can do it yourself if you get the equipment and supplies.
Soemtimes the grids and other part in the filter get holes or break. This is one of the most common filter problems. The grids can be replaced one at a time as they get problems but it is best to replace all the filters. Once one is going out, the others are probably getting old too. Other parts that break often in filters are Manifolds, Cartridges, and O-Rings. Your will have to replace these parts and it is much cheaper than replacing the entire filter.

Chlorinators - There are many types of Chlorinators. Some float on your pool surface, others remain in your skimmer and more advanced chlorinators are installed directly into the PVC. They are essential to making sure that your pool recieves regular chlorine or disinfectant. Lack of disinfectant will cause your pool to have lots of problems. The water will not stay pure.

Heaters - The purpose of a heater is to heat the water and as a heater gets old and rusted it gets harder for it to do that. SMall parts are easier to deteriorate in hot water so haveing a heater will mean more maintenence will be needed for your pool.

Salt Water Systems - Salt Water systems need to be cleaned regularly and they go out every few yea. It is important to pay attention to your salt level, your PH and the information on yor controls. When it needs service clean it right away

Vacuums - Automaitc vacuums have lots of small expensive parts which need to be replaced from time to time. Usually with about 30 minutes of troubleshooting you can find out which part needs to be replaced. Be careful, if you break a small part you might ahve to pay a pretty penny.

Timers - If the timer goes out on your pool you will not get regular circulation which will lead to chemical problems and algae. Check to make sure your timer is going on correctly from time to time.

Control Centers - Control Centers are the life of a complex pool system. THey require frequent maintenance and if they get water damage replacements can be costly. Take care of your control center.
