Equipment Repair
When your pool pump goes silent or your heater won't fire, you need a technician who can diagnose the real problem — not just swap parts and hope. The Pool Police repairs every major brand of pool equipment, from variable-speed pumps and DE filters to gas heaters and salt chlorine generators. Keith Mallette has been repairing pool systems in Austin since 2000, and his approach is always fix-first: we only recommend replacement when repair isn't cost-effective.

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.
