Equipment Repair in West Austin, TX
West Austin's established neighborhoods are home to some of the oldest residential pools in the city, and the equipment to match. Many pools across the 78746, 78731, and 78735 zip codes still run original pumps, filters, and heaters that date back to the 1980s and 90s. The Pool Police specializes in servicing this legacy equipment: we carry parts for discontinued Purex and older Jandy systems, and when a repair isn't viable, we know the modern replacement that fits your existing plumbing without a full renovation. Keith Mallette has been repairing pool equipment in West Austin for over 25 years — there isn't a system here he hasn't seen. For city-specific service in Westlake Hills, Rollingwood, or Lost Creek, see the dedicated pages for those neighborhoods.

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.
I'm in West Austin — which page should I look at?
Depends on the exact location. If you're inside the City of West Lake Hills (78746), see our dedicated Westlake Hills page. If you're in the City of Rollingwood, use the Rollingwood page. If you're in the Lost Creek master-planned community (78735), use the Lost Creek page. For Far West and the other West Austin zip codes, this umbrella page covers you — we serve all of it weekly.
Can you service older pools with outdated equipment?
Absolutely. We work on pools of every era, including systems from Purex, original Jandy, and early Pentair equipment. When parts are no longer available, we know the modern equivalents that fit without requiring a full replumb. West Austin's older housing stock is full of these legacy systems and we see them every week.
