Common Pool Equipment Issues
Recognizing the signs of equipment failure early can save you time and money. Here are the most common issues we see.
Pump Not Priming
If your pump struggles to prime or loses prime frequently, it may indicate an air leak in the suction line, a clogged impeller, or a failing shaft seal that needs immediate attention.
Unusual Noises
Grinding, screeching, or humming sounds from your pump or motor often signal worn bearings, cavitation, or electrical issues. These noises should never be ignored.
Heater Won't Ignite
A pool heater that fails to ignite or shuts off mid-cycle may have a faulty igniter, clogged burner tray, bad pressure switch, or low gas flow that requires professional diagnosis.
Low Water Flow
Reduced water flow through your system can result from clogged filters, blocked skimmer baskets, a failing pump impeller, or undersized plumbing that restricts circulation.
Tripping Breakers
If your pool equipment repeatedly trips the circuit breaker, it could indicate a short in the motor windings, corroded wiring, a failing capacitor, or an overloaded circuit.
Equipment Leaks
Water leaking from pumps, filters, or heaters can cause significant damage if left unchecked. Common culprits include cracked housings, worn o-rings, and corroded fittings.

When to Repair vs. Replace
Making the right decision between repair and replacement can save you money in the long run. Here is what to consider.
Consider Repair When
- The equipment is less than 5-7 years old
- The repair cost is less than 50% of replacement cost
- The issue is a minor component failure (o-ring, capacitor, gasket)
- The equipment has been well-maintained throughout its life
- Replacement parts are readily available
Consider Replacement When
- The equipment is over 8-10 years old and failing frequently
- Repair costs exceed 50% of new equipment cost
- You are running an old single-speed pump (upgrade saves energy)
- Parts are discontinued or difficult to source
- The equipment has had multiple major repairs in the past year
Not sure which option is right for you? Our technicians provide honest, straightforward recommendations based on the condition and age of your equipment. We will never push a replacement when a simple repair will do the job.
