You know that grinding noise your pump makes? That’s not normal. Your heater takes forever to warm the pool, if it works at all. The filter pressure gauge has been in the red for weeks. You’re pretty sure something’s about to break completely, but you keep hoping it’ll last just a little longer. Meanwhile, your electricity bill is ridiculous because that old pump runs like a gas guzzler. Here’s the reality: ignoring failing equipment costs you more than fixing it.
Poolside Renos handles pool equipment replacement and repairs across Broward County with the honest approach you’d want. We’ll tell you when something just needs a repair versus when replacement makes more sense. Modern variable-speed pumps that cut your electric bill in half. Energy-efficient heaters that actually work. Filters sized correctly for your pool. We’ve been servicing pool equipment since 1998, so we’ve seen every failure mode and know what lasts.
One family-owned team that treats your equipment like we’d treat our own, fix what can be fixed, replace what needs replacing, and never sell you something you don’t need.
Most equipment problems happen because people call the wrong contractor. Companies that just want to sell new equipment when a simple repair would work. Handymen who don’t understand pool systems and create new problems while fixing old ones. Contractors who install the cheapest equipment without considering your pool’s needs or energy costs. Then you’re stuck with equipment that still doesn’t work right, or works initially but fails way too soon.
Three Ways Bad Contractors Make Equipment Problems Worse
Some contractors see every service call as a sales opportunity. Your pump makes noise? They want to replace the whole system. Your heater’s slow? Time for a complete equipment pad overhaul. Sometimes repair makes sense. Sometimes replacement does. Honest contractors tell you the difference. Sales-focused ones always push replacement because that’s where they make money. You deserve better than being upsold on every visit.
Pool equipment needs to match your pool’s size and specific requirements. Undersized pumps don’t circulate properly. Oversized ones waste energy. Filters need adequate capacity for your pool volume. Heaters need proper BTU rating for Florida conditions. Contractors who don’t understand pool hydraulics install whatever’s on sale or whatever they have on their truck. You get equipment that technically runs but doesn’t perform optimally.
Equipment replacement requires proper plumbing, electrical work, and system integration. Contractors who rush installations create leaks, inadequate priming, electrical issues, or equipment that runs but sounds terrible. They get paid and leave. You discover problems later when they’re harder to fix and cost more to address. Proper installation takes time and expertise, shortcuts cost you more in the long run.
Here’s what people don’t realize about pool equipment:
It’s the heart of your pool system. When equipment fails, everything fails. You can’t use your pool. Water goes green. Repairs get expensive fast. But equipment problems usually give you warning signs before catastrophic failure, weird noises, declining performance, higher electric bills. Catching problems early and fixing them correctly saves thousands compared to ignoring issues until complete failure. You need someone who’ll be honest about what you actually need.
At Poolside Renos, we’ve serviced thousands of pool systems across Broward County. We know when repairs make sense and when replacement is the smarter investment. We understand equipment sizing, proper installation, and energy efficiency upgrades that pay for themselves. Your equipment will run reliably because we don’t cut corners or sell you things you don’t need.
Tired of pool equipment that doesn’t work right?
Step 1: Free Equipment Assessment
We come out, inspect your equipment, listen to what’s happening, and diagnose the actual problem. We test everything, not just the component you think is failing. Sometimes the issue isn’t what it seems. Pool systems are interconnected, and symptoms in one area often indicate problems elsewhere. We find the real issue before recommending solutions.
Step 2: Honest Repair vs. Replace Recommendation
Here’s where we’re different: we tell you the truth. Sometimes a $200 repair fixes your pump for 3-5 more years. Sometimes your equipment is so old and inefficient that replacement pays for itself in energy savings within 2-3 years. We explain both options, what each costs, and what makes sense for your situation. No pressure, no games, just honest guidance from people who do this every day.
Step 3: Equipment Options & Energy Analysis
If replacement makes sense, we discuss options. Modern variable-speed pumps use 75% less energy than old single-speed pumps, the savings are massive. New heaters warm pools faster with less fuel. Upgraded automation makes everything easier to control. We help you understand upfront costs versus long-term savings so you can make informed decisions about your investment.
Step 4: Detailed Written Estimate
You get a comprehensive proposal covering all work, parts, labor, any necessary plumbing or electrical modifications, permit fees if applicable. Everything’s itemized clearly. We don’t hide costs or surprise you mid-project with “unforeseen issues” that conveniently require more money. What we quote is what you pay.
Step 5: Scheduling That Respects Your Time
Most repairs and replacements can be done in a day, sometimes a few hours. We schedule at your convenience and show up when we say we will. We know you want your pool working, we don’t drag simple projects out unnecessarily. For larger equipment upgrades involving multiple components, we give realistic timelines and stick to them.
Step 6: Professional Installation or Repair
Our licensed technicians handle everything properly. If we’re replacing equipment, we install with correct plumbing, proper electrical connections, and attention to details that affect performance and longevity. If we’re repairing, we use quality parts and fix the problem right. We don’t patch things temporarily hoping they’ll hold, we fix issues correctly the first time.
Step 7: System Testing & Verification
Before we leave, we test everything. Pumps prime properly and run quietly. Heaters reach temperature. Filters maintain correct pressure. Automation controls work as they should. We verify the entire system operates correctly, not just the component we worked on. Your pool system needs to function as a whole, not just have working individual parts.
Step 8: Operating Instructions & Maintenance Guidance
If we installed new equipment, we show you how to operate it. Variable-speed pumps have different settings. New automation systems offer features you might not know about. We explain maintenance requirements so you can keep equipment running well. We provide our contact info for questions, we want you to know how to use what you have.

We’re Honest About Repair vs. Replace
Not every problem needs new equipment. Sometimes a $150 repair buys you years of reliable service. Sometimes your equipment is so inefficient that replacement pays for itself quickly through energy savings. We give you both perspectives and let you decide. We don’t make money pushing unnecessary equipment, we make money through reputation and repeat customers who trust our judgment.
Family-Owned Since 1998
We’re local owners who’ve been servicing pools in Broward County for over 25 years. Your neighbors are our neighbors. We see customers around town, at local businesses, at community events. Our reputation is personal and local. We do honest work because our family’s livelihood depends on it. That accountability matters when you’re trusting someone with your pool investment.
We Understand Pool Systems Completely
Pool equipment doesn’t operate in isolation, it’s part of an interconnected system. We understand hydraulics, electrical requirements, proper sizing, and how components work together. This comprehensive knowledge means we diagnose problems accurately and recommend solutions that actually work long-term, not just temporarily patch symptoms.
Quality Equipment from Trusted Manufacturers
We install equipment from manufacturers with proven track records, Pentair, Hayward, Jandy. We’ve installed thousands of pool systems over 25+ years, so we know what lasts and what fails. You’re investing in equipment that should run reliably for 10-15+ years, we make sure you get products that deliver on that expectation.
Energy Efficiency Focus
Modern pool equipment uses dramatically less energy than older equipment. Variable-speed pumps save $50-100+ monthly on electricity. Energy-efficient heaters reduce gas or electric costs significantly. Salt systems eliminate ongoing chlorine expenses. We help you understand energy savings potential because equipment upgrades often pay for themselves through lower operating costs.
