Pool Equipment Repair in Orlando & Central Florida

Pool Equipment Repair for pumps, filters, timers, heaters, and automation across Orlando & Central Florida—including Davenport, Clermont, Kissimmee, Winter Garden, Horizon West, Celebration, and Reunion.

Fast, Accurate Pool Equipment Diagnostics

Pool equipment repair shouldn’t start with random part swaps. Most “mystery problems” come from a few predictable causes: restriction, air leaks, electrical issues, worn seals/bearings, clogged filters, incorrect programming, or component mismatch (like a pump running outside its ideal range).

​

Our approach is simple:

  • Confirm the symptom (noise, no prime, pressure issues, error codes, intermittent power)

  • Identify the root cause

  • Explain repair vs. replacement options

  • Complete the repair with clear next steps (maintenance, settings, and prevention tips)

​

The goal: get you back to reliable circulation and clean water—without upselling you into equipment you don’t need.

What Counts as Pool Equipment & What Doesn't

Pool equipment usually lives at the equipment pad or is tied into it:

  • Pump and motor

  • Filter (cartridge, sand, or DE)

  • Heater (heat pump or gas)

  • Salt system / chlorinator

  • Automation system and control panel

  • Valves, unions, gauges, sensors, and timers

  • Skimmer and returns can affect circulation, but skimmer cracking or underground line issues are often a different repair category

​

Equipment problems vs. pool structure problems

A quick rule:

  • If your issue is mechanical/electrical/circulation, this page is the right fit.

  • If your issue is structural (cracks), surface damage, decking, or suspected underground leaks, start with Pool Repair or Pool Renovation depending on what you’re seeing.

A healthy pump is quiet, consistent, and holds prime. A struggling pump can drive poor circulation, cloudy water, algae issues, and filter problems.

​

Symptoms of a Failing Pool Pump​

Call for pool equipment repair if you notice:

  • Loud grinding, screeching, or rattling

  • Pump won’t prime or keeps losing prime

  • Air bubbles in the pump basket

  • Weak return flow or “dead spots” in circulation

  • Breaker trips when the pump starts

  • Visible leaks at the seal plate or unions

  • Sudden changes in filter pressure

​

Common causes we see in Central Florida:

  • Worn shaft seals and O-rings

  • Clogged impeller or suction restriction

  • Air leaks at lid gasket/unions/valves

  • Electrical supply or capacitor issues

  • Bearings wearing out from age or heat

​

Repair vs. Replacement — What We Recommend​

We recommend repair when:

  • The motor and housing are in good condition

  • The issue is a seal, gasket, capacitor, or minor component

  • The pump is relatively new or a quality unit

We recommend replacement when:

  • Bearings are failing and the motor is near end-of-life

  • The pump is mismatched for your pool (costing you monthly)

  • You’re stacking repairs on an older unit

  • Efficiency upgrades (variable speed) make sense for your usage

​

We’ll explain the options clearly—especially for short-term rental pools where reliability and predictable operating cost matter.

Pool Filter Repair & Filtration Repair

Filters don’t “break” as often as they get overworked by poor circulation, incorrect sizing, or neglected cleaning. Still, we see a lot of filter-related service calls because filter symptoms are easy to spot.

​

Cartridge, sand, and DE filters

We service and troubleshoot:

  • Cartridge filters: clogged elements, cracked manifolds, worn bands/O-rings

  • Sand filters: channeling, broken laterals, multiport valve issues

  • DE filters: torn grids, manifold cracks, air leaks, valve problems

​

High pressure vs. low pressure issues

  • High filter pressure often means restriction: dirty filter, blocked returns, closed valve, clogged impeller.

  • Low filter pressure often means suction-side issue: air leak, skimmer restriction, low water level, or pump not fully primed.

​

We don’t just “clean and leave.” We identify why the pressure changed, because pressure problems are usually telling you something upstream.

Timers and controls are common failure points—especially when weather, heat, and moisture work their way into enclosures.

​

We handle:

  • Mechanical timer replacement and troubleshooting

  • Digital timers and schedules

  • Intermittent equipment power issues

  • Faulty relays/contacts

  • Diagnostics for nuisance breaker trips

​

Safety and code considerations

Electrical pool work needs to be treated carefully. If your equipment is tripping breakers, sparking, or showing burn marks, shut it down and call. We’ll troubleshoot safely and recommend the correct path to restore reliable operation.

Pool Heater Not Heating? We’ll Diagnose It Fast.

No heat, error codes, or the heater keeps shutting off? We’ll pinpoint whether it’s the heater itself—or a flow issue like a dirty filter, weak pump, closed valve, or automation setting—so you only pay for the fix you actually need.

Salt System & Chemical Automation Repairs

Salt systems are great—until the cell is scaled, the flow switch fails, or the controller throws errors.

​

We repair and troubleshoot:

  • Salt cell performance issues

  • Flow switch / sensor errors

  • Controller and power issues

  • Output settings and runtime balance

​

Because Central Florida water conditions can accelerate scaling, we also help you set a maintenance routine that protects your equipment and keeps chlorine production steady.

If your pool “has a mind of its own,” it’s usually:

  • programming conflicts

  • relay failures

  • sensor problems

  • communication issues between devices

​

We troubleshoot:

  • schedules that don’t run as intended

  • pumps/heaters that don’t turn on through automation

  • app-control failures

  • equipment integration conflicts

​

If you’re in Clermont, Winter Garden, or Horizon West (where smart-home upgrades are common), automation issues are a frequent reason homeowners call us.

Valves, Plumbing at the Pad, Leaks Around Equipment

Not every “leak” means underground pipe repair. Many leaks happen right at the equipment pad:

  • Unions, valves, pump seal plate, filter band clamp, heater connections

  • Small drips that become major air leaks (leading to prime loss)

​

We’ll locate the leak source and fix it correctly so you don’t end up chasing symptoms.

If we suspect the leak is underground or structural, we’ll route you to the right repair path and explain why.

Pricing & Scheduling: How We Keep It Transparent)

​

We keep pricing clear by diagnosing first and recommending the most sensible fix. If a replacement makes more sense than a repair, we’ll show you the “why,” not just the invoice.
