What we repair

Pool pumps

A pump that will not prime, hums loudly, leaks at the seal, or trips the breaker is costing you money and risking algae from poor circulation. We repair seals, motors, and capacitors, or replace the pump when repair no longer makes sense. We work on Pentair, Hayward, and Jandy equipment.

Pool heaters

Heater not firing, error codes, ignition failures, or rusted heat exchangers. We service gas heaters and heat pumps, replace worn parts, and tell you honestly when a heater is past saving.

Pool filters

High pressure, cloudy water that will not clear, cracked grids or cartridges, torn sand filter laterals. We clean, rebuild, or replace cartridge, sand, and DE filters.

Leaks

Losing more than a quarter inch of water a day? That is not evaporation, even in Texas. We test plumbing lines, inspect skimmers, returns, and main drains, and pinpoint the leak before any digging starts. You get the location and the fix quoted before we open ground.

Automation systems

Remote controls, valve actuators, and phone apps that stop talking to the equipment. We diagnose Pentair, Jandy, and Hayward automation and get schedules, pumps, and lights running from your phone again.

Salt systems

Salt cells wear out every 3 to 5 years and fail gradually, which looks a lot like a chemistry problem. We test the cell, check salt levels, replace worn cells, and re-dial the output for San Antonio summers.

How a repair works, step by step

1. You describe the problem

Call, text, or use the form below. Tell us what the equipment is doing or not doing, any error codes on the display, and when it started. Photos help. Our team or receptionist gets the details to a technician the same day.

2. We diagnose and quote upfront

A technician visits, tests the equipment, and finds the actual cause. You get a written quote with parts and labor as separate line items before any work begins.

3. Most repairs finish the same week

Common parts are stocked on the truck. Special-order parts get a realistic timeline with the quote.

4. We test it and show you

After the repair we run the system, confirm the problem is gone, and walk you through what was fixed. You keep the itemized invoice.

Repair pricing guidance

Every job is different, but here is what San Antonio pool owners typically see:

Parts are marked up fairly and labor is always a separate line item on your invoice. You approve the number before we start. No surprises.

Signs you should call a pro instead of waiting

The pump is loud, hot, or leaking

A pump that sounds like a garbage disposal or drips water at the seal is on borrowed time. Catching it early usually means a seal or bearing. Waiting usually means a motor.

The breaker keeps tripping

Pumps and heaters pull real amperage. A breaker that trips repeatedly is a safety issue, not an annoyance. Do not keep resetting it. Call.

Water level drops fast

San Antonio pools evaporate, but adding inches a week means something is leaking. Leaks get more expensive the longer they run.

Heater shows an error code

Error codes point at sensors, ignitors, or gas supply issues. Guessing at heater parts is expensive. Diagnosis is the cheaper path.

Repair questions

How fast can you come out for a repair?

Most repair visits happen within a few days of your call, and most repairs are completed the same week you approve the quote. Emergency situations, like a major leak or a dead pump in August, get priority.

Should I repair my pump or replace it?

It depends on the pump's age and the failure. A seal or capacitor on a young pump is worth fixing. A burned-out motor on a 10-year-old single-speed pump usually points to replacement with a variable-speed model, which cuts energy use dramatically. We quote both options when it is a close call.

Do you charge for the diagnostic visit?

We diagnose the problem and give you an upfront written quote before any work starts. Ask us about current diagnostic pricing when you call, and if you approve the repair, the diagnostic is rolled into the job.

Can you fix equipment you did not install?

Yes. Most of our repairs are on equipment installed by builders or other companies. We work on Pentair, Hayward, and Jandy equipment regardless of who put it in.
