Pump repairs – Our Wet testing facility in our Workshop

Initial Inspection

We do a visual inspection, then try and obtain a little pump history from the customer, if a repair looks economically viable we will create a job for this unit.

Motor Tests

We check the motor characteristics. The motor is the most expensive part of the pool pump. There are tests and values that we work to.

Dismantle and inspect internals

We list and cost what needs replacing and then prepare a quotation to be submitted for approval, usually by email.

COMMON PUMP PROBLEMS

MECHANICAL SEAL FAILURE

Our most common problem that we have to deal with – corrosion

USUAL REPLACEMENTS

Motor Capacitor, Bearings and mechanical seal – wear and tear items

MOTOR BEARINGS

End result of a mechanical seal leaking for an extended period and getting into the motor front bearing – this is avoidable

MOTOR WINDINGS – EXPOSED

Pump motor windings tested and inspected

BURN’T OUT MOTOR CAPACITOR

Also a very common failure

MECHANICAL SEALS

Motor shaft seals. Numerous sizes – not 1 size fits all.

Some Popular pool pumps
