FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why is my pool pump making loud noises?
Noises usually indicate bearing wear, cavitation from clogged lines, or debris in the impeller. Prompt repair prevents complete pump failure and more expensive damage.
How do I know if my pump motor needs replacement?
Signs include overheating, frequent breaker trips, failure to start, or burning smells. We can test motors electrically to determine if repair or replacement is needed.
Can you repair variable-speed pump drives?
Yes, we’re trained in diagnosing and repairing variable-speed drives. However, some drive failures require complete drive replacement, which we can determine through testing.
What causes pump seal failures?
Common causes include running dry, chemical imbalance, age, or improper installation. We repair seals using OEM parts and can advise on preventing future failures.
Is it worth upgrading to a variable-speed pump?
Absolutely. Variable-speed pumps typically pay for themselves in 1-2 years through energy savings. Orange County utilities often offer rebates that further improve payback time.
