Pump repairs – Wet testing facility in our Workshop

Spa pool pump repairs

Initial Inspection

We do a visual inspection, obtain a little pump history from the customer and then create a job if a repair looks economically viable.

Motor Tests

Check 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

List what needs replacing and prepare a quotation to be submitted for approval.
