POOL PUMP REPAIR •

Pool Pump Repair in

Empire Pools handles complete pool pump diagnostics and repair for homeowners — priming issues, noisy motors, leaks at the pump housing, failing seals, and inefficient circulation that keeps your pool from staying clear. In , pump issues are often tied to the “whole system,” not just the motor: clogged baskets that starve the pump, small suction-side air leaks that show up as bubbles at the returns, dirty filters that raise pressure and reduce flow, and valve settings that slowly drift over the season. That’s why we start with a true diagnostic approach—confirming prime, checking lid and union sealing surfaces, listening for bearing noise, verifying amperage draw, and looking for telltale signs of restriction or cavitation—before recommending any parts. We also check the practical stuff that gets missed: tight pads where you can’t swing a wrench, brittle fittings that crack when disturbed, and old unions that should be replaced before they turn into repeat leaks. Expect clear communication, honest recommendations, and a neat equipment area before we leave.

Pump Repairs Tuned to

In , spring pollen and debris can load baskets quickly, and longer plumbing runs on some properties can make a healthy pump sound “bad” when the real issue is restriction or a small air leak at the lid/unions. We confirm the full path from skimmer/main drain through the pump to the filter before recommending parts.

From homes near Route 25 (Middle Country Road) and Route 112 to areas around Gordon Heights and Longwood Road, plus neighborhoods close to Longwood High School and the Pine Ridge Golf Club, we adjust the diagnostic checklist to your debris load, plumbing run, and equipment layout so the fix actually holds.

What’s Included with Pool Pump Repair

  • Visual inspection of pump, plumbing, and equipment pad layout.
  • Priming check and correction for pumps that lose prime or suck air.
  • Seal, gasket, and lid O-ring inspection with replacement as needed.
  • Leak tracking at unions, fittings, and drain plugs around the pump.
  • Motor evaluation for noise, overheating, and bearing issues.
  • Amperage and flow check to ensure the pump is moving water properly.
  • Clear explanation of repair vs. replace options (single speed vs. VS).
  • Re-priming and functional test before we leave your job.
  • Note: Replacement pumps and major parts are quoted separately.
  • Note: Underground suction-side leaks may require separate leak detection.

★★★★★

“We’re near Route 25 (Middle Country Road) and the pump kept losing prime. They found a tiny lid seal issue and had it holding perfectly.” — J. Marino,

★★★★★

“Motor got loud fast. They explained bearings vs. replacement and gave options. The new setup is whisper quiet.” — T. Alvarez,

★★★★★

“Weak flow and bubbles at the returns — they traced an air leak at a union and restored full circulation the same visit.” — S. Patel,

★★★★★

“Leak under the pump housing was driving us crazy. They pinpointed it and fixed it cleanly. Great communication.” — R. Donovan,

★★★★★

“We’re close to Route 112 and debris loads the baskets fast. They adjusted valves, cleared restrictions, and the system finally runs right.” — A. Kim,

Pool Pump Repair — FAQs

What are the most common pump problems you see in ?
The most common issues we diagnose are pumps that lose prime, suction-side air leaks (often at the lid O-ring or unions), noisy bearings, and low flow caused by restriction (baskets, valves, or high filter pressure).
My pump is loud — do I automatically need a new pump?
Not always. Loud pumps can be worn bearings, cavitation from restriction, or air intrusion. We identify the noise type, confirm prime stability, check pressure/flow, and verify amperage before recommending repair vs. replacement.
Why do I see bubbles at the returns in ?
Bubbles usually point to suction-side air getting pulled in (lid O-ring, unions, valves, skimmer issues) or a low water level. We trace the suction path from skimmer/main drain to the pump, then confirm the system holds prime.
How do you tell if low flow is the pump or a restriction in the system?
We compare symptoms with readings: high filter pressure often means restriction at the filter, while low pressure + bubbles/noise can point to suction-side air or a blocked line. We’ll check baskets, valve positions, filter pressure, and return flow before calling it a pump failure.
Do you install variable-speed pumps in ?
Yes. We install and configure variable-speed pumps and set practical run schedules that match your pool size, filter type, and water clarity needs. If your equipment pad is tight or older, we’ll also plan the best plumbing orientation for future service access.
