Pool Pump Repairs in Cape Town

Your pool pump is the heart of the circulation system. It moves water through the filter, the heater and the chlorinator, and when it stops working properly the water quality goes downhill fast. We repair pool pumps across Cape Town and the Western Cape, from a noisy bearing to a motor that will not start at all.

If your pump is leaking, screeching, losing prime or simply not pushing water the way it used to, it is worth having it looked at before the problem reaches the filter and the heater.

Pool Pump Faults We Repair in Cape Town

• Pump will not start. Usually a tripped breaker, faulty wiring or a burned out motor capacitor.
• Leaking pump housing. Cracked seals, worn gaskets or damaged plumbing connections.
• Screeching or grinding noises. Worn bearings, or debris caught in the impeller.
• Low or no water flow. Blocked impeller, dirty filter or an air leak on the suction line.
• Pump keeps losing prime. Suction side air leaks or a perished pump lid O-ring.
• Shaft seal and impeller replacement. Rebuilt rather than replaced where the motor is still sound.

Why Pool Pump Repairs Should Not Wait

A pump that is struggling puts strain on everything downstream. Left alone it leads to cloudy or green water, unbalanced water chemistry, extra load on the filter and heating system, and a bigger repair bill when it finally fails. Catching a worn bearing or a perished seal early is almost always the cheaper job.

Pool Pump Repair or Replace?

Not every faulty pump needs replacing. A capacitor, a shaft seal, a set of bearings or an impeller can often be changed and the pump put back into service. Where the motor itself has burned out, or the housing is cracked beyond a reliable repair, we will tell you straight that a replacement is the better spend, and size the new pump correctly for your pool volume.
