Equipment Repair Guide

Why Professional Pool Equipment Repair Matters

Pool equipment operates in a challenging environment — constant moisture, heat, chemicals, and usage can cause wear and tear over time. Ignoring early signs of failure can lead to:

• Reduced filtration efficiency and cloudy water
• Higher energy costs due to inefficient or obsolete pumps
• Safety risks from broken heaters or lighting systems
• Unnecessary replacement costs when repairs could save equipment

Hydrologix’s experienced technicians specialize in diagnosing and repairing issues with all major pool system components, bringing your equipment back to top condition efficiently.

Common Pool Equipment Problems and Repairs

1. Pool Pumps & Motors

The pump is the heart of your pool’s circulation system. Common issues include:

• Loss of suction or weak flow
• Strange noises due to worn bearings or impellers
• Leakage from seals or housing

Hydrologix works with energy efficient variable speed pumps, including top brands like Pentair and Hayward, that meet Department of Energy compliance standards, delivering better performance and lower utility bills.

2. Filtration Systems

Filters — whether sand, cartridge, or diatomaceous earth (DE) — can become clogged or wear out over time. Symptoms like cloudy water or higher chemical usage often indicate the need for service.

Hydrologix not only repairs existing filters but also offers new filter installation featuring improved debris capture and easier maintenance.

3. Heaters & Heating Elements

An inefficient heater can leave your pool uncomfortable or significantly increase energy costs. Problems often include faulty thermostats, corrosion, or ignition issues.

Hydrologix provides repair services and new heater installations with modern, energy efficient models compatible with automation systems for smarter temperature control.

4. Lighting & Aesthetic Features

Pool lighting enhances safety and outdoor ambiance, but water and electrical components don’t always mix well. LED upgrades are a popular replacement due to:

• Superior energy efficiency — using up to 87% less energy than incandescent bulbs
• Longer lifespan — often lasting 10× longer

Hydrologix installs and repairs LED pool and spa lighting, including decorative lighting and illuminated water features, transforming evening pool environments. (hydrologix.co)

Advanced Systems — Automation & Smart Control

If you want to take pool management to the next level, automation systems from Pentair IntelliCenter, Hayward OmniLogic, and Jandy AquaLink offer remote control of:

• Pumps and motors
• Water chemistry and filtration cycles
• Heaters and temperature settings
• Lighting and decorative features

Hydrologix’s technicians install and integrate these systems so you can monitor and control your pool from anywhere using smartphones or voice assistants. (hydrologix.co)

New Equipment Sales — When to Upgrade

Sometimes repair isn’t the most cost effective solution — especially with older equipment that is:

• No longer energy efficient
• Out of warranty
• Prone to repeated repairs

Hydrologix can help identify when a new piece of equipment — like a variable speed pump, modern heater, or smart automation system — makes better financial and functional sense, improving performance while saving money over time. (hydrologix.co)
