Repairs, Equipment & Installations

Pool Repairs, Equipment & Installations

We diagnose faults, repair equipment where appropriate, replace ageing or failed equipment, and install new pool equipment.

Our Approach

Diagnose, Repair, Replace, Install

Equipment work starts with a proper assessment — not a default recommendation. Depending on what we find, that leads to a repair, a replacement, or a new installation.

01Diagnose
Understand the fault and assess the condition of the equipment before recommending work.
02Repair
Repair where practical, technically appropriate and economical.
03Replace
Replace failed, heavily deteriorated or uneconomical equipment where appropriate.
04Install
Install and configure new equipment correctly for the pool and system.

Upgrade — Where appropriate, we can also advise on upgrading existing equipment rather than replacing it like-for-like.

Servicing a pool pump motor

Pool Pumps

Common Signs

  • Pump not starting
  • Unusual noise
  • Reduced flow
  • Loss of prime
  • Leaking around the pump or equipment area
  • Poor circulation symptoms
Repair
Repaired where practical and economically sensible.
Replacement
Ageing, failed or uneconomical pumps replaced.
New Installation
New pumps installed for a new or replacement system.
Upgrades
Upgraded where a better-matched pump suits the pool.
Cleaning a pool filter cartridge

Pool Filters

Covering both sand and cartridge filtration.

Common Signs

  • Poor filtration
  • Abnormal pressure
  • Damaged or leaking components
  • Deteriorated filter condition
  • Restricted flow
Assessment
Filter condition and performance assessed.
Repair
Repaired where appropriate.
Replacement
Replaced when no longer performing effectively.
New Installation
New filtration installed where required.

Filter media replacement is carried out where applicable to the filter type.

Cleaned salt chlorinator cell

Salt Chlorinators & Cells

The chlorinator (the control/power unit) and the salt cell (which produces chlorine) are assessed separately — a fault in one doesn't always mean the other needs attention.

Common Signs

  • Poor or no chlorine production
  • Controller or power-unit fault indicators
  • Cell condition and output
  • Error codes or warning lights
Diagnosis
Chlorinator and salt cell assessed to identify the actual fault.
Cell Replacement
Salt cells replaced when no longer producing adequately.
Chlorinator Replacement
Chlorinator units replaced where required.
New Installation
New chlorinator systems installed and configured.
Pool steps and clear water

Pool Plumbing

Plumbing directly connected to pool equipment — not general leak detection.

Common Signs

  • Equipment-pad leaks
  • Damaged pipework
  • Leaking unions or fittings
  • Valve issues
  • Suction/return plumbing issues
Repair
Equipment-area plumbing repaired where found.
Modifications
Connections adjusted for equipment changes or upgrades.

This covers plumbing at the equipment pad — not comprehensive underground or structural leak detection.

Brushing the tiled edge of a swimming pool

Pool Cleaners

Common Signs

  • Cleaner not operating
  • Reduced or inconsistent movement
  • Obvious mechanical faults
Diagnosis
Common faults assessed where the cleaner type allows.
Repair
Repaired where appropriate.
Replacement
Replaced where repair isn't practical.
New Setup
New pool cleaner equipment set up and configured.
Underwater pool lighting and robotic pool cleaner

Pool Lighting

Pool-light issues can be assessed and the appropriate repair or replacement pathway identified.

Assessment
Pool lighting issues assessed for the appropriate next step.
Replacement / Upgrades
Replaced or upgraded within the applicable service scope.

Electrical work requiring a licensed electrician is handled accordingly.

Timers & Controls

Common Signs

  • Timer not operating correctly
  • Ageing or unreliable controllers
  • Incorrect configuration after other equipment changes
Repair
Assessed and repaired where practical.
Replacement
Faulty or ageing timers and controllers replaced.
New Installation
New timers or controls installed where applicable.
Configuration
Set up correctly after equipment installation or changes.
Newly installed UV sanitiser unit

Equipment Upgrades

For equipment that still works but is ageing, inefficient, increasingly unreliable, or poorly matched to the pool.

Pump Upgrades
Assessed for a better-matched pump.
Filtration Upgrades
Improved filtration considered where appropriate.
Chlorination Upgrades
Updated chlorination systems considered.
Controls Upgrades
Modern controls assessed where useful.

This is assessment and recommendation, not automatic upselling — the right option depends on the pool and existing system.

Repair or Replace? We'll Help You Make the Right Call.

The right recommendation depends on the nature of the fault, the condition of the equipment, repair cost, availability of replacement parts, age and deterioration, any repeated failure history, and whether the existing equipment still suits the pool and system.

Replacement may make more sense when:

  • Repair is uneconomical
  • Parts are unavailable
  • Equipment is significantly deteriorated
  • Failures keep recurring
  • Existing equipment is no longer suitable

Repair may remain the better option when:

  • The issue is isolated
  • Equipment is otherwise serviceable
  • Parts are available
  • Repair remains economically sensible

Assess first. Recommend second.
