Pool Equipment Repairs

Fast, reliable repairs for pumps, heaters, filters, and all your pool equipment.

When Your Pool Equipment Stops Working

Pool equipment problems always seem to happen at the worst possible time. Your pump stops running the day before a party. Your heater quits right when the weather gets perfect for swimming. Your filter starts leaking just as summer begins. Equipment breakdowns are frustrating, but they're also part of owning a pool. The good news is that most problems can be fixed quickly when you have the right technician.

At AquaLift Fremont Pool Care, we handle all types of pool equipment repairs. Our technicians have experience with every major brand and model of pumps, filters, heaters, salt systems, automation controllers, and more. We carry common parts on our trucks and can source specialty items quickly. Most importantly, we diagnose problems accurately the first time, so you get repairs that actually fix the issue.

Whether you need a simple repair or a complete equipment replacement, we provide honest assessments and fair pricing. We'll explain what's wrong in plain language, tell you your options, and help you make the best decision for your situation and budget.

Common Equipment Problems We Fix

Here are the most frequent repair calls we get from Fremont pool owners:

Pump Problems

Your pool pump is the workhorse of your circulation system. Common pump issues include:

•Pump won't start or keeps shutting off
•Making loud grinding, screeching, or humming noises
•Leaking water from seals or connections
•Not moving water or very weak flow
•Overheating or tripping breakers

Many pump problems can be fixed by replacing the motor, shaft seal, or impeller. Sometimes it makes more sense to upgrade to a newer, more efficient model.

Heater and Heat Pump Issues

Pool heaters are complex pieces of equipment. We repair gas heaters, electric heaters, and heat pumps. Common problems include failure to ignite, not heating efficiently, error codes, pilot light problems, and unusual noises. We also handle routine maintenance that keeps heaters running reliably.

Filter Repairs

Beyond regular filter cleaning, filters sometimes need actual repairs. We fix leaking tanks, replace broken multiport valves, repair cracked manifolds, install new pressure gauges, and replace worn grids or cartridges. If your filter is beyond repair, we can install a new one properly.

Automation and Control Systems

Modern pools often have automated controls for pumps, heaters, lights, and water features. When these systems malfunction, we can troubleshoot and repair them. We work with all major brands including Jandy, Pentair, Hayward, and Zodiac automation systems.

Salt Systems and Chlorinators

Salt chlorine generators need occasional repairs and regular cell cleaning. We replace worn salt cells, fix error messages, calibrate systems, and ensure everything is producing chlorine properly.

Our Repair Process

Here's what you can expect when you call us for equipment repairs:

Step 1: Diagnosis

We start by thoroughly inspecting your equipment and diagnosing the problem. Often, what seems like a major issue has a simple cause. We test components, check electrical connections, look for leaks, and verify that related equipment is working properly. We want to find the root cause, not just treat symptoms.

Step 2: Clear Explanation and Quote

Once we know what's wrong, we explain it to you in plain English. No confusing technical jargon. We tell you what needs to be fixed, why it's necessary, and what it will cost. If you have options, like repair versus replacement, we discuss the pros and cons of each choice. You make the final decision with full information.

Step 3: Quality Repair Work

After you approve the work, we get to it. We use quality parts that will last, not the cheapest components we can find. Our technicians do the job right, following proper procedures and manufacturer specifications. We test everything after the repair to make sure it's working correctly before we leave.

Step 4: Prevention and Maintenance Advice

Before we finish, we give you advice on preventing future problems. This might include tips on maintenance, signs to watch for, or recommendations about regular service that can catch issues early. Our goal is to help you avoid expensive repairs down the road.

Don't Ignore Equipment Problems

Small equipment issues turn into big expensive problems when you ignore them. A minor leak becomes a major flood. A strange noise becomes a burned-out motor. Catching problems early saves you money and prevents your pool from being out of service for days or weeks.

Call us as soon as you notice something wrong with your pool equipment. Even if you're not sure if it's serious, we'd rather check it out and find nothing than have you wait until it fails completely. Our service calls are reasonably priced, and catching problems early almost always costs less than emergency repairs.

Warning Signs to Watch For:

•Any unusual noises from pumps, heaters, or filters
•Water leaks around equipment
•Equipment that won't start or shuts off unexpectedly
•Reduced water flow or pressure
•Heater not reaching temperature
•Error messages or indicator lights
•Equipment running constantly or cycling on and off
