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.
My River Place pool fills with leaves constantly — can you keep up?
Yes. River Place's canyon setting and dense tree cover create one of the heaviest debris loads in the Austin area. Our weekly service includes thorough skimming and leaf removal, and we recommend keeping a leaf net on the pool between visits during fall and cedar season. We also monitor phosphate levels closely since decaying organic matter is a primary algae food source.
Can you access pool equipment on steep lots?
We're used to it. Many River Place equipment pads are on hillside retaining walls or tucked behind decking. Our techs carry tools in rather than rolling carts and are experienced working in these constrained spaces.
