Your Pool Equipment Sounds Like It's About to Die

When Pool Equipment Service Goes Wrong (And Why You're Stuck with Bigger Problems)

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

  1. Selling You Equipment You Don’t Need

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.

  1. Installing Wrong-Sized or Inadequate Equipment

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.

  1. Poor Installation Creates New Problems

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?

How We Handle Equipment Issues the Right Way

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.

Why Broward County Homeowners Trust Us with Their Pool Equipment

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.

Licensed, Insured, Here When You Need Us

Full licensing, comprehensive insurance, and we’re not disappearing after installation. We’ve been here 25+ years and we’ll be here 25+ more. When your equipment acts up or you have questions, we’re still here answering the phone. That ongoing support and reliability matter when you’re depending on equipment to keep your pool usable.

Your pool equipment should work quietly in the background, not constantly demand your attention.

Questions? We've Got Answers

How do I know if I need repair or replacement?

Age and repair cost versus replacement cost are the main factors. If your equipment is 10+ years old and repairs cost more than 50% of replacement, replacement usually makes more sense. If your equipment is relatively new and repairs are minor, fixing it is smarter. We assess both options honestly and help you decide. Sometimes energy savings from new equipment make replacement worthwhile even when repairs are possible.

How much does pool pump replacement cost?

Variable-speed pump replacement typically runs $1,200-$2,000 installed including the pump, labor, and any necessary plumbing modifications. Single-speed pumps cost less ($600-$1,000) but use dramatically more electricity. Over 3-5 years, a variable-speed pump saves more in energy costs than the price difference. We help you understand total cost of ownership, not just upfront price.

Will a new pump really save that much on electricity?

Yes. Variable-speed pumps use 75-90% less energy than old single-speed pumps. Most homeowners save $50-100+ monthly on electricity, sometimes more. The pump typically pays for itself in energy savings within 2-3 years, then continues saving money for 10-15 more years. It's one of the best investments you can make in your pool.

How long does equipment replacement take?

Most single-component replacements (pump, filter, heater) take 2-4 hours. Complete equipment pad upgrades with multiple components take a full day, sometimes two. We give you realistic timelines based on what needs to be done. Simple repairs often take an hour or less. Your pool is typically usable the same day for most projects.

Do you service all brands of pool equipment?

Yes. We work on all major brands, Pentair, Hayward, Jandy, Zodiac, and others. We stock common parts and have access to anything we don't carry. If your equipment is particularly old or obscure and parts aren't available, we'll tell you honestly that replacement is your only option.

What if my equipment fails outside normal business hours?

Pool equipment failures happen. We do our best to respond quickly to service calls. For true emergencies (equipment failure causing property damage), we prioritize those. For non-emergency failures, we typically can get someone out within 24-48 hours. We're not a 24/7 emergency service, but we're responsive and care about getting your pool working again quickly.

Should I upgrade to salt water when replacing equipment?

Salt systems eliminate the need to buy and handle chlorine, maintain more consistent sanitation, and feel better on skin and eyes. Upfront cost is $1,500-$2,500 for quality systems. Long-term, you save on chlorine costs and enjoy more convenient pool maintenance. We discuss pros and cons based on your pool size, budget, and maintenance preferences. It's worth considering if you're already replacing equipment.

Ready for Pool Equipment That Just Works?

You shouldn’t have to worry about whether your pool equipment will make it through another season. You shouldn’t dread your electric bill every month because your pump runs like it’s from 1995. And you definitely shouldn’t be patching failing equipment with temporary fixes that cost more than just doing it right. Your pool should be enjoyable, not a constant source of stress about what’s going to break next.

Poolside Renos has been servicing pool equipment across Broward County for 25+ years. We give honest assessments about repair versus replacement, install quality equipment properly, and actually show up when we say we will. Family-owned, locally trusted, and committed to solutions that work reliably. Your pool equipment should fade into the background and just work. Let’s make that happen.
