Pool & Spa Equipment Installation

Equipment installation

The right size, installed cleanly, and set up so you know how to use it.

When equipment reaches the end of its life, the replacement should fit the pool, not just the box it came in. We look at the pool size, the plumbing and how you use the pool before recommending anything.

After the install we set it up, check it under load, and walk you through it. If you have a question a few months later, call us.

What we look at

Inside the equipment.

The parts we check first, and what each one tells us when it starts to go.

Pump and motor

Strainer basket. Catches debris before the impeller. A cracked lid or worn o-ring lets air in and the pump loses prime.
Impeller housing. Where clogs and wear show up as weak flow and noise.
Shaft seal. The usual source of a slow drip under the pump. Cheap to replace early, costly if it takes the motor with it.
Motor. Humming, screaming or tripping the breaker point to bearings, capacitors or the motor itself.

Filter

Pressure gauge. The first thing we read. Pressure creeping up means the filter needs cleaning or something downstream is blocked.
Tank clamp. Holds the tank halves together under pressure. Checked and seated properly every time the filter is opened.
Cartridge elements. Cleaned on a schedule, replaced when torn or worn out. Most clarity problems start here.
Drain. Lets the tank empty for service. A worn plug or o-ring is a small leak worth fixing.

Heater

Exhaust vent. Has to stay clear. Nests, debris and soot here affect how the heater fires.
Control board. Error codes tell us where to start: ignition, pressure, flow or temperature.
Heat exchanger. Water chemistry matters most here. Scale and corrosion shorten its life.
Burner tray. Cleaned and checked when a heater clicks but will not light, or lights and drops out.
