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.
Do you service pools in the Lost Creek community (78735)?
Yes. The Pool Police runs an established weekly route through Lost Creek, covering the full community from the older flat-lot streets near the golf course to the newer hillside builds on the canyon edges. We've serviced pools here since 2000.
My Lost Creek pool has an integrated spa and water feature — can you handle complex pools?
Absolutely. Many Lost Creek pools were built with spas, waterfalls, laminars, and raised beam features that require careful cleaning and chemistry balanced across interconnected water bodies. Our techs are experienced with these multi-body pool systems and understand how water flow, evaporation, and chemical consumption differ from a basic rectangular pool.
How do you handle the Balcones Canyonlands leaf load in Lost Creek?
Lost Creek's canyon-edge lots sit directly under dense oak and cedar canopy. We increase skimmer basket checks, monitor filter pressure more aggressively through fall and cedar season, and run phosphate control chemistry to prevent decaying organics from feeding algae. Hillside lots with elevated decks often benefit from a leaf net during peak drop weeks.
