Can you repair rather than replace equipment?

We always assess repair viability before recommending replacement. For pumps, common repairs include seal kits, impellers, capacitors, and bearings. For heaters, we repair ignitors, heat exchanger scale, thermostats, and control boards. Replacement is recommended when parts cost approaches replacement cost, or when the equipment is at the end of its expected service life and repair would just delay an inevitable failure.

What pool equipment brands do you work with?

We service all major residential pool equipment brands including Pentair, Hayward, Jandy, Sta-Rite, Zodiac, Raypak, and Rheem — as well as most salt chlorinator brands including Pentair IntelliChlor, Hayward Aqua-Rite, Jandy TruClear, and similar systems. If you have a brand not listed, ask us — we service most residential equipment.

Do you handle pool automation and smart control systems?

Yes. We service Pentair IntelliTouch/EasyTouch, Hayward OmniLogic and AquaLogic, Jandy iAqualink, and similar residential automation platforms. This includes programming, troubleshooting connectivity issues, replacing control boards, and configuring variable-speed pump schedules for efficiency.

Q: How do I know if my pool pump is failing?

Common signs of a failing pool pump include: loud grinding or screeching noise (bearing wear), the pump running but water not moving (impeller damage or air lock), the pump tripping the breaker (motor winding failure), visible leaking from the pump body or seals, or the pump running hot to the touch. Any of these warrant immediate inspection — a failing pump that continues running can burn out the motor windings, turning a repair into a full replacement.

Q: How quickly can you respond to equipment problems?

For existing service clients, we respond to equipment issues within 24 hours. For new clients, we typically schedule a diagnostic visit within 2–3 business days. Emergency situations — a pump that won't run at all, a heater that's unsafe — are prioritized.

Our Process

How We Handle Equipment Repair

We diagnose first, quote before any work, and repair on the same visit when parts are available. No surprises.

Diagnostic Visit

We assess the equipment, run tests, and identify the actual cause of the problem — not just the symptom. A pump that trips the breaker could be a failed capacitor, a blocked impeller, or a winding failure. We find out which.

Clear Written Quote

Before any repair work starts, you receive a written estimate in plain language — what the problem is, what the repair involves, what it costs, and what we recommend if the repair isn't cost-effective relative to replacement.

Same-Visit Repair

We stock common replacement parts — capacitors, seal kits, impellers, O-rings, control boards, flow switches. Most repairs are completed on the diagnostic visit once you've approved the quote. No scheduling a second trip for parts.

FAQs

Pool Equipment Repair Questions

How do I know if my pool pump is failing?

Common warning signs include: loud grinding, humming, or screeching sounds (bearing wear), the pump running but water not circulating (impeller damage or air lock), the breaker tripping when the pump tries to start (motor winding failure), water leaking from the pump body (seal failure), or the motor running very hot. Any of these warrant a diagnostic visit — a pump running in distress often damages itself further if left to run.

Do you repair or replace? How do you decide?

We always evaluate repair first and recommend it when it's practical. The repair is the right choice when: the component is still within normal service life, the repair cost is significantly lower than replacement, and the repair addresses the root cause rather than a symptom. Replacement makes more sense when: parts cost approaches equipment cost, the unit is at or past expected service life, or the failure is symptomatic of overall deterioration that will continue. We'll tell you honestly which situation you're in.

How quickly can you respond to a broken pump or heater?

For clients on active service plans, equipment issues are prioritized and we respond within 24 hours. For new clients contacting us for a repair, we typically schedule a diagnostic visit within 2–3 business days. A pool pump that's been out for more than a few days will begin developing water quality problems, so we treat pump failures as urgent.

What pool equipment brands do you service?

We service all major residential brands including Pentair, Hayward, Jandy/Zodiac, Sta-Rite, Raypak, and Rheem. For salt chlorinators, we service Pentair IntelliChlor, Hayward Aqua-Rite, Jandy TruClear, and most residential SCG systems. For automation, we handle Pentair IntelliTouch and EasyTouch, Hayward OmniLogic and AquaLogic, and Jandy iAqualink.

Can you help if I'm not currently a Blue Current pool cleaning client?

Yes. Equipment repair is available as a standalone service. You don't need to be on a regular maintenance or cleaning plan with us. That said, many homeowners who call us for a repair end up starting a weekly cleaning plan — often because our diagnostic visit reveals that chemistry issues contributed to the equipment problem.
