How to Tell If Your Pool Pump Needs Repair or Replacement

Your pool pump is essential for keeping your swimming pool clean and circulating water properly. Knowing when it needs repair or replacement can save you costly damages.

1. Strange Noises: Grinding, rattling, or humming sounds may indicate worn bearings or motor issues.

2. Reduced Water Flow: If water circulation is weaker than usual, your pump may be failing or clogged.

3. Leaks: Visible water around the pump or on the pool deck is a clear sign of a problem.

4. Frequent Tripping: If your pump trips breakers often, there may be electrical or motor issues.

5. Old Age: Most pool pumps last 8–12 years. If yours is older, consider replacement even if it appears to work.

Regular inspection and timely maintenance will ensure your pool pump runs efficiently and your pool stays clean.
