Pool Care & Automation
Pumps, heaters, filters, salt systems, valves, plumbing and controllers — we find the cause before we quote the fix.
Diagnosis first. A pump drawing air, a heater short-cycling or a salt system reading zero each have half a dozen possible causes, and most of them are cheaper than the part a symptom-based quote replaces. We find the cause, show you what we found, and quote the actual fix.
We work on equipment we did not install, including automation systems that were never properly commissioned — a large share of what we repair is configuration, not hardware.
The four workhorses, and the four most common failures. Single-speed pumps get an honest conversation: past a certain repair cost you are better off in an inverter pump that pays its difference back in power.
Air on the suction side, water where it should not be, actuators that stopped turning. The plumbing is where symptoms hide furthest from their causes.
Automation that stopped listening, lights that stopped answering, schedules that quietly stopped running. We repair and recommission Pentair, Jandy and mixed-brand systems.
A diagnostic visit is priced as a visit, and we tell you that price before we book it — no number is published here because pretending one figure fits every pad is how repair quotes go wrong. What we will not do is quote a repair sight unseen or replace parts until the symptom stops.
Any of those can be either. A loud pump might be a bearing, cavitation from a suction leak, or debris; losing prime is usually air getting in somewhere cheap to fix; a tripping breaker ranges from a capacitor to a failing motor. This is exactly why we diagnose first — two of those three common causes cost far less than a new pump.
Yes, and it is a large share of our repair work. Many 'failed' automation systems are miscommissioned rather than broken: wrong schedules, unpaired sensors, valves plumbed opposite to their labels. We sort out Pentair, Jandy, Poolside Tech and mixed-brand pads.
Tell us what the pool is doing when you call or text — a pad that is dead entirely, or a leak actively losing water, gets moved ahead of a light that will not change colour. We serve the Weston Lakes, Fulshear, Richmond and Katy corridor daily and schedule the rest of greater Houston in runs.
If you are within a couple of years of wanting automation or a renovation, say so before we repair anything. It changes which replacement equipment makes sense today and prevents you buying twice.
Call or text for a free pool assessment. We look at the pool, the equipment already on your pad and how you actually use the backyard — then tell you what is worth doing and what is not.
Tell us what you have and how you use the pool. We'll walk the equipment pad, ask what you ultimately want controlled, and give you an honest recommendation — including the upgrades we'd skip.
