Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

My pool pump is making a loud screeching noise — what should I do?

A screeching pump usually means the bearings are failing. Turn the pump off to prevent further damage and call us. Bearing replacement is far less expensive than a new motor, but only if caught early before the shaft or windings are affected.

How long do pool pumps typically last in Austin?

A standard single-speed pump motor lasts around 8 to 12 years in our climate. Variable-speed pumps tend to last longer because they run at lower RPMs. Proper chemical balance and regular service extend the life of any pump.

Should I repair my old equipment or replace it?

It depends on the age of the unit and the cost of the repair. As a rule of thumb, if the repair exceeds 50% of replacement cost and the unit is past its expected lifespan, replacement usually makes more sense — especially with newer energy-efficient options available.

Why does my Lakeway pool get white scale buildup so fast?

Lakeway sits on the Edwards Plateau limestone formation. Well water and even treated water in the 78734 and 78738 zip codes carries high calcium hardness — often above 400 ppm. Without proactive chemical management, that calcium precipitates as white scale on tile, inside heaters, and on salt cells. We adjust our treatment plan specifically for Lakeway water conditions.
