Pool Pump Repair and Replacement in Tucson

Pool pumps circulate water through filters and sanitization systems. When pumps fail, water stagnates and problems develop quickly. Common issues include motor burnout, seal leaks, impeller damage, and electrical failures.

We repair and replace all major pump brands, including Pentair, Hayward, and Sta-Rite. Our technicians diagnose the root cause instead of applying temporary fixes. This approach prevents recurring failures and saves money long-term.

Variable Speed Pump Upgrades

Arizona and federal law require variable-speed pumps for new installations. These pumps reduce electricity costs by up to 90% compared to older single-speed models through the pump affinity law physics.

Single-speed pumps run at 3,450 RPM constantly. Variable-speed pumps adjust rotation speed based on your pool’s needs. Running at half speed (1,725 RPM) pumps roughly half the water but uses only one-eighth the energy. This means longer run times with 75% less electricity usage.

Reducing pump speed by just 450 RPM cuts energy use almost in half while reducing water flow by only 15%. These monthly savings add up quickly. Most variable-speed pumps pay for themselves within two to three years through lower utility bills.

We install variable-speed pumps correctly and program them for maximum efficiency based on your pool’s volume, filter type, and usage patterns.

Choosing the Right Pump for Your Pool

Pool Heater Repair Tucson

Southwest Pool Care offers professional diagnosis and repair services for pool heaters. We specialize in Pentair and Sta-Rite heaters, quickly identifying problems and recommending appropriate repairs or replacements.

Gas heater issues include ignition failures, thermostat malfunctions, heat exchanger problems, and issues with the pilot light. We diagnose systematically to identify the underlying problem, not just its symptoms.

Pentair Mastertemp Gas Heater Installation

If your heater is aging or malfunctioning, we install the redesigned Pentair Mastertemp gas pool heater. This model features a rat-resistant and rustproof enclosure, energy-efficient heating, lower emissions, and user-friendly controls. Modern safety features and sensors extend heater life, and optional cupro-nickel heat exchangers prevent corrosion and metal staining.

We also offer consultations for electric heat pump installations for pool heating. Heat pumps use less energy than gas heaters and work well in Tucson’s climate.

Pool Equipment Repair Tucson Services

Pool equipment repair includes filters, valves, plumbing, lighting, and water features. Equipment failures disrupt pool operation and sometimes create safety hazards. We handle all repairs promptly and professionally.

Filter Repair and Replacement

Sand filters, cartridge filters, and DE filters each require specific maintenance. Common problems include cracked tanks, damaged grids or cartridges, broken valve assemblies, and plumbing leaks. We repair components when cost-effective and recommend replacement when repairs don’t make financial sense.

Plumbing and Leak Repair

Underground plumbing leaks waste water and increases chemical costs. We use pressure testing and leak detection equipment to locate hidden leaks without unnecessary digging. Repairs involve cutting out damaged sections and installing new PVC pipe and fittings using proper techniques and adequate cure time. All work meets Arizona plumbing codes.

Pool Lighting Repair

Pool lights improve safety and create ambiance for night swimming. LED lights last longer and use less energy than traditional bulbs. We repair light fixtures, transformers, and wiring issues. We also install color-changing LED systems, such as Pentair IntelliBrite, that integrate with automation controllers.

Pool Automation Installation

Modern pool automation controls pumps, heaters, valves, lights, and water features from smartphones or touchscreen panels. The Pentair IntelliCenter offers full-color touchscreen control, wireless connectivity for iOS and Android, automated valve operation, programmable pump schedules, heater control, light shows, and smart home integration.

Automation eliminates manual valve adjustments and equipment switching. You can preheat your turn water features on or off, adjust pump schedules, and control everything remotely.

We handle complete automation installations, including electrical work, equipment wiring, valve actuator mounting, and system programming. Older automation systems often fail due to circuit board problems or corroded connections. We repair existing systems when practical and recommend upgrades when repairs become frequent.

Saltwater System Installation

Nearly any pool converts to saltwater operation. Salt systems use electrolytic cells to generate chlorine from dissolved salt. This process creates consistent chlorine levels while reducing the need for bottled chemicals.

Salt systems offer several advantages. The salt in pool water recombines after chlorine generation, creating virtually infinite chlorine as long as the cell works. This eliminates or drastically reduces shock and chlorinating chemical needs. Chlorine levels stay more consistent because small amounts are added continuously. The water feels softer on the skin and eyes at about 10% of ocean water salinity.

Salt cells require periodic cleaning to remove calcium scale buildup. Cells typically last three to seven years, depending on usage and maintenance. We clean cells with safe acid solutions and replace them with manufacturer-approved units when needed. We also test and repair power supplies, sensors, and control boards.

Most new pool construction includes salt systems. We assess your existing equipment, recommend appropriate models, and handle complete installation in typically one day for standard pools.

Complete Pool Equipment Renovation

Aging equipment pads with 15-year-old pumps, corroded heaters, and outdated controls benefit from complete renovation. We remove old equipment, install new energy-efficient systems, upgrade plumbing and electrical, add automation features, and ensure all work meets current building codes.

Equipment renovations improve reliability, reduce energy costs, and increase property value. We manage projects from planning through final inspection, balancing your budget with equipment quality and long-term performance. Financing options make upgrades accessible. Projects typically complete within two to five days, depending on the scope.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pool Repair

How quickly can you repair pool equipment?

Response time depends on the current workload and parts availability. Emergency repairs for maintenance customers typically receive same-day or next-day service. Non-urgent repairs are usually scheduled within three to five business days.

Do you offer financing for repairs?

Yes, we provide financing options for equipment replacements and major repairs. Financing makes pump upgrades, heater replacements, and renovations affordable through monthly payments.

Can you repair equipment that other companies installed?

Absolutely. We repair any equipment regardless of the original installer. Poor installations sometimes require correction before repairs work properly.

What does your labor warranty cover?

Our warranty covers workmanship errors and installation mistakes. Normal wear and manufacturer defects fall under separate manufacturer warranties.

Should I repair or replace my aging pump?

This depends on pump age, repair cost, and energy efficiency. Pumps over ten years old usually benefit from variable-speed replacement. Repairs costing more than 50% of the replacement price rarely make sense financially.
