Top Pool Repairs

Repairs are an inseparable part of owning a swimming pool. Regular inspection and upkeep of all the working parts will help identify signs and signals of a problem. Ensuring timely repairs increase the pool’s life and let you have full enjoyment and get the most of the investment. Most pool repairs, whether big or small, should not be undertaken by the owners. It is best to call a residential pool cleaning and maintenance company to carry out the repairs for a long-term solution. 

Knowing top pool repairs will help keep a pool owner better prepared and help them understand when to call the pool service company for assistance. Given below are some of the most common pool repairs needs that a pool will most likely require:

Pool pump motor 

The pump motor works towards ensuring smooth water circulation in the pool to keep it clean and fresh. The active role it plays and the involvement of multiple moving parts make it more susceptible to malfunctioning. Any issue with the pump can compromise with the water quality making it hazardous for swimming due to improper circulation and filtering. The standard pump issues that need repair include leaks, loud noises, and the pump sucking in air. Signs like cloudy pool water or unusually high electric bills indicate pump troubles that require attention.

Filter issues

A swimming pool only looks inviting when the water is as clean as possible, and the filter works toward cleaning it. Filters are responsible for filtering out dirt, oil, debris, and other substances to keep the pool water pristine. When the pool water appears dirty, replace the filter. Common filter issues include leaks, higher flow rate, dirty cartridge, and above 30psi reading on the pressure gauge. Call a pool repair company to examine and fix the issues.   

Faulty heater

A heater makes the pool usable year-round. When you experience low water flow issues, a heater not igniting or not heating properly, a dirty filter or clogged impeller can be behind it. Also, the check fuse, circuit, and thermostat when experiencing heat loss. Get the heater inspected by a professional for any repair or replacement needs.

Pool light problems

While a burned-out pool light is easy to change, a problem arises when it requires frequent replacements. If the bulbs burn out faster than they should, get the pool wiring checked and repaired by an expert.

Pool chemistry

It does not necessarily require calling a pool repair company, but it is a serious issue that needs to be addressed. When the pool develops problems like algae and bacterial growth, scale build-up, and foaming, check the pool’s chemistry and add chemicals as needed.

Lining issues

Tears and rips in the lining are one of the most common structural repairs a pool requires. They develop due to sharp objects or an aging lining. 

It is not uncommon for swimming pools to develop issues that demand repair. Whether dealing with a noisy pump, leaky filter, or a malfunctioning heater, call a residential pool cleaning and maintenance professional for regular upkeep as well as affordable repairs.
