Repair or Replace?
Pumps under about eight years old are usually worth repairing. Older units with motor or seal failure are better replaced.
The pump is the heart of the pool. When it struggles, circulation drops, chemicals stop working and clear water turns fast. We diagnose weak flow, loud bearings, leaks and electrical faults, then repair or replace exactly what is needed.
If your pump is on its way out, we install quiet variable speed models that use far less power than old single speed units. Serving Seattle, Bellevue, Kirkland, Renton and the entire Puget Sound area.
Pumps under about eight years old are usually worth repairing. Older units with motor or seal failure are better replaced.
Modern variable speed pumps run quieter and cost far less to operate, often paying for themselves in energy savings.
If the wet end is sound we can swap just the motor, a faster and cheaper fix than replacing the whole pump.
Warning signs include grinding or screeching noises, leaks around the pump, weak jets, air bubbles in the pump basket and breakers tripping. Catching it early often means a repair instead of a replacement.
If the pump is under about eight years old and the fix is small, repair usually makes sense. Older pumps with motor or seal failures are typically worth replacing with an efficient variable speed model.
For most pools, yes. They run quieter, use far less power at low speed and often pay for themselves in energy savings within a few seasons.
Most pumps last 8 to 12 years with good water chemistry and regular maintenance. Running the pump on a proper schedule and keeping baskets clean extends its life.
Turn the pump off, open the lid, fill the pump basket with water, close it and restart so the pump can pull water and push the air out. If your pump will not hold prime, that usually means an air leak on the suction side, a worn lid gasket or a failing seal, all things we diagnose and fix.
Most pools need about 8 to 12 hours of circulation per day during swim season and less in the off season. A variable speed pump can run longer at low speed for better filtration while still using less power than a single speed pump on a short schedule.
