Recognizing When Your Pool Equipment Needs Servicing

Expert Insights on Pool Equipment Health

1. Unusual Noises

• What to Listen For: Grinding or screeching noises from your pool pump can indicate that bearings might need to be replaced or that there is a problem with the motor.

2. Reduced Water Flow

• Signs of Trouble: If you notice a significant decrease in water flow or your pool is taking longer to cycle, this could be a sign of a clogged filter or failing pump.

3. Visible Leaks

• Identifying Leaks: Puddles of water around your pool equipment or visible drips from the fittings could signify seal failures or cracks in the piping.

4. Frequent Cycling

• Cycle Issues: If your pump starts and stops more frequently than normal, it might be overheating due to a faulty thermostat or a wiring issue.
