Pool Equipment Repairs

When Your Pool Equipment Stops Working

Your pool relies on several pieces of equipment to stay clean and safe. When something breaks, it can throw off your entire pool system. Maybe your pump stopped running, your heater isn't warming the water, or your filter pressure is way too high. Equipment problems are frustrating, but they're also fixable.

At PoolVantage Pomona Pool Care, we've been repairing pool equipment in Pomona, CA since 2024. We work on all major brands and types of equipment. Our technicians are trained to diagnose problems quickly and get your pool running again without unnecessary delays or costs.

Common Pool Equipment Issues We Fix

Pool equipment can fail for many reasons. Sometimes it's normal wear and tear, other times it's a specific part that needs replacement. Here are some of the most common issues we handle:

• Pool pumps that won't start, make strange noises, or leak
• Heaters that fail to heat or shut off unexpectedly
• Filters with high pressure, leaks, or poor water flow
• Automatic cleaners that don't move or get stuck
• Saltwater chlorinators that stop producing chlorine
• Timers and control systems that malfunction
• Lighting systems that flicker or don't turn on

We start every repair with a thorough inspection to figure out what's wrong. Once we know the problem, we explain it to you in simple terms and give you an upfront estimate. We don't move forward until you approve the work. If you also need filter cleaning or replacement, we can handle that at the same time.

Why Fast Repairs Matter

When your pool equipment breaks, every day that passes puts your pool at risk. Without a working pump, water stops circulating and debris settles on the bottom. Without a functioning filter, dirt and contaminants build up. Without proper chlorination, bacteria and algae can start growing. The longer you wait, the worse the problem gets.

We prioritize quick turnaround times so you don't have to deal with a dirty or unsafe pool. In many cases, we can diagnose and fix the issue in a single visit. If we need to order a part, we source it as quickly as possible and return to complete the repair. Our goal is to get your pool back to normal with minimal disruption to your schedule. Many of our repair customers also sign up for our weekly pool cleaning service to prevent future issues.

Repair or Replace: Making the Right Choice

Sometimes equipment can be repaired, and sometimes replacement makes more sense. If your pump is only a few years old and needs a new seal or motor, repair is usually the smart choice. But if your equipment is 10 or 15 years old and breaking down frequently, investing in a new unit might save you money in the long run.

We give you honest advice based on the condition of your equipment and your budget. We're not here to sell you things you don't need. If a repair will get you another few years of reliable service, we'll tell you. If replacement is the better option, we'll explain why and help you choose the right equipment for your pool. Either way, you'll know exactly what you're paying for and why it's worth it.
