Professional Pool Equipment Repair for Pumps, Filters, Heaters & More
Pool equipment problems don’t just interrupt your swim time—they can quickly damage your pool, increase energy usage, and create safety risks if left unresolved. When a pump won’t start, a heater won’t ignite, or a filter loses pressure, you need fast, accurate diagnostics.
Why Pool Equipment Fails and Why It Matters
Pool equipment rarely fails all at once. Most breakdowns start with small symptoms—reduced flow, strange noises, inaccurate temperature readings—that eventually grow into full system failures when they’re ignored.
Understanding why equipment problems happen helps homeowners recognize issues early and avoid more expensive repairs.
Turnkey Business Model
With decades of experience in franchising and pool service we have developed a model to help you begin, grow, and operate for years to come.
Poor Circulation Causes Chain Reactions
If circulation fails, you face algae growth, cloudy water, increased chemical usage, and extra strain on heaters, salt cells, and plumbing components.
Ignoring Issues Damages Other Components
A failing pump may cause a heater to shut down from inadequate flow. A clogged filter can burn out a motor. Issues always cascade through the system.
Electrical Components Require Expertise
Automation systems and VSPs contain sensitive electronics. DIY troubleshooting can lead to short circuits, part failures, and voided manufacturer warranties.
Proper Diagnostics Prevent Guessing. Replacing the wrong part wastes money. PoolReady diagnoses the true cause before recommending repairs, saving homeowners time and unnecessary expenses.
Types of Equipment We Repair
PoolReady technicians repair the full range of pool equipment. Whether the issue is mechanical, electrical, chemical, or flow-related, we’re trained to bring your system back to peak performance.
Pump Repair
The pump is the heart of your pool, and when it struggles, everything else follows.
- Motor failures or motor won’t start
- Priming issues and air leaks
- Loud grinding, humming, or rattling noises
- Loss of suction or weak circulation
Filter Repair (Sand, Cartridge & DE)
We handle all major filter types to ensure optimal clarity and water quality.
- Cracked tanks or leaking lids
- High or low filter pressure
- Broken or worn cartridges
- Multiport valve problems
Heater Repair
Get your water back to the perfect temperature quickly and reliably.
- Heater not igniting or ignition lockout
- Error codes or short-cycling
- Water not heating or heating inconsistently
- Weak flame or poor heating output
Salt System Repair
We maintain and repair cells for consistent and accurate chlorine production.
- Cells not producing chlorine
- Scaling and mineral buildup
- Low-salt or no-flow error lights
- Electrical faults
Automation & Timer Repair
Restore control and efficiency to your automated pool systems.
- Controller glitches or unresponsive touchpads
- Wireless connection or signal issues
- Incorrect programming
- Timers not turning equipment on/off
Additional Equipment Repairs
We address all peripheral issues related to flow and electricity.
- Leaking fittings, pipes, or unions
- Broken valves or pressure fluctuations
- Tripped breakers or electrical irregularities
- Pump seals and baskets
Signs Your Pool Equipment Needs Repair
Most homeowners notice symptoms before they notice the actual equipment issue. These warning signs are strong indicators that something on your equipment pad needs professional attention.
-
Pump making loud or unusual noises (grinding, screeching, humming)
-
Weak or no water flow from return jets
-
Cloudy or green water despite normal cleaning
-
Filter pressure unusually high or low
-
Heater not igniting or failing to maintain temperature
-
Salt system warning lights or low chlorine output
-
Visible drips or puddles near equipment
-
A sudden increase in electricity usage
Emergency Equipment Repair
Same-Day or Next-Day Availability for failures that create immediate safety risks or damage potential. If something breaks suddenly, don’t wait—fast action protects your pool.
Pump failure
Makes water unsafe within hours
Circulation loss

PoolReady’s Structured Diagnostic Process
Accurate repairs require accurate diagnosis. Our technicians follow a structured multi-point process designed to identify the exact cause of equipment failure.
Equipment Pad Inspection
Examine pumps, filters, heaters, electrical components, valves, and fittings.
Pump & Motor Testing
Evaluate motor amperage, prime retention, impeller function, bearings/seals, and air leaks.
Filter Evaluation
Inspection of cartridges/media, multiport/valve testing, and internal structure examination.
Heater Diagnostics
Inspect ignition sequence, pressure/flow switches, electrical systems, and temperature controls.
Salt System Review
Check cell condition, production levels, and electrical output.
Circulation & Pressure Testing
Evaluate efficiency and pinpoint flow restrictions or imbalances.

Repair vs. Replace
We provide honest, clear recommendations based on long-term value and efficiency.
When Repair Makes Sense
- Still within a normal lifespan
- Minor replaceable part failure
- Cost is significantly lower than replacement
When Replacement May Be Better
- Equipment is old or inefficient
- Repairs are becoming frequent
- Replacement significantly reduces energy usage (VSP)
