Your pool pump just stopped working—or worse, it’s making that horrible grinding noise that tells you something’s about to break. Now the kids can’t swim this weekend, and you’re stuck researching pool pump problems at 10pm instead of relaxing.
Sound familiar?
Here’s the thing: most pump problems don’t fix themselves. They get worse. And the longer you wait, the more damage happens to your pool’s entire circulation system.
We don’t just swap parts and hope it works. After 15 years repairing pumps throughout Long Beach and Seal Beach, we’ve become experts at diagnosing the real problem—not just the obvious symptom.
Our residential pool pump repair includes:
✓ Complete system diagnosis (not just the pump itself)
✓ Honest assessment of repair vs. replacement
✓ Same-day service for most pump emergencies
✓ Extended warranties on Jandy equipment installations
The result? Your pump works reliably, your pool stays clean, and you’re not calling us back in three weeks with the same problem.
24-hour response guarantee. When your pump breaks on Friday night before a pool party, we get back to you by end of day—always. We serve families throughout Belmont Shore, Naples, and Bixby Knolls who need their pools working now, not next week.
Jandy & Pentair certified installer. We’re not just some pool guy with a wrench. We’re certified with the two biggest pump manufacturers, which means extended warranties for you and expert-level installation you can trust.
Energy efficiency experts. If your pump needs replacing, we’ll show you how a variable speed pump saves 30-40% on your electric bill and pays for itself in 3-4 years. No pressure—just education so you can make the right choice for your family.
You thought maybe the pump just needed a day to “rest” or that turning it off and on again would fix it. But pool pumps don’t work like computers—ignoring the problem just makes everything worse.
Here’s what happens when pump problems aren’t fixed properly:
Most homeowners try to handle pump repairs themselves to save a few hundred bucks. We get it—YouTube makes it look easy, and those forum posts promise simple fixes.
Here’s why that usually ends badly: Pool pumps aren’t just motors with impellers. They’re part of a pressurized circulation system where one wrong move causes leaks, air locks, or complete system failure. You might fix the immediate noise, but miss the bearing wear that’ll destroy the motor in two weeks.
The local factor: Long Beach’s coastal environment is brutal on pool equipment. Salt air corrodes connections, humidity speeds up motor wear, and older homes in Los Alamitos and Lakewood have electrical systems that can’t always handle modern variable speed pumps without upgrades.
We had a family in Seal Beach call us after their pool had been green for three weeks. They’d replaced the pump motor themselves, but the pool still wasn’t circulating. Turns out the real problem was a clogged impeller and a check valve that had failed—issues you can’t see without taking the whole pump apart.
One visit. Complete diagnosis. Fixed the actual problem. Their pool was crystal clear in 48 hours, and they haven’t had a pump issue since.
We’ve been fixing pool pumps throughout Long Beach since 2010. But in the last 2-3 years, we’ve become what I’d honestly call one of the best residential pump repair specialists in the area. Not because we’re bragging—because we’ve seen and fixed just about every pump problem that exists.
Properties we serve:
We know these areas because we live and work here. We understand that coastal homes face different pump challenges than inland properties, and we account for that in every repair.
“Our pump was making this awful grinding noise every morning. Adam came out same day, diagnosed a bad bearing, and had it fixed in under two hours. He also showed us how to recognize early warning signs so we don’t get caught off guard again. Honest guy who actually educates you.” – Michael R., Los Alamitos
Here’s what typically happens: You call us with a pump problem. We show up within 24 hours, diagnose the real issue (not just the obvious symptom), and give you honest options. Sometimes that’s a $200 repair. Sometimes we tell you the pump’s done and replacement makes more financial sense. Either way, you know exactly what you’re getting.
Jandy Certified Installer: All our customers who go with Jandy pumps get extended warranties and faster warranty service. Sometimes discounts and rebates too.
Pentair Expert Installer: We install and repair both major brands equally well—Jandy and Pentair. Whatever’s on your equipment pad, we know it inside and out.
Variable Speed Pump Specialists: We’re experts in energy-efficient variable speed technology that saves Long Beach homeowners 30-40% on electricity costs. The pump pays for itself in 3-4 years, and we can prove it with your actual energy rates.
We don’t guess. Most pump repair companies show up, look at the obvious problem, swap a part, and hope it works. We actually diagnose the entire circulation system to find what’s really wrong—and what might fail next if we don’t address it now.
What happens: We don’t just look at your pump. We evaluate your entire circulation system—pump, filter, heater connections, plumbing, electrical supply—to understand why the pump failed and whether other components are at risk.
What’s included:
Timeline: 20-30 minutes for thorough diagnosis
Our approach: After diagnosis, we explain exactly what’s wrong in plain English—no technical jargon designed to confuse you. Then we give you real options: repair vs. replace, standard efficiency vs. variable speed, what you need now vs. what can wait.
What makes us different:
Timeline: 10-15 minutes for explanation and decision
How we ensure quality: Whether we’re rebuilding your existing pump or installing a new one, we follow manufacturer specifications exactly. Jandy and Pentair certification means we know the proper installation procedures that protect your warranty and ensure longevity.
Professional tools and methods we use:
Timeline: 1-3 hours depending on repair complexity or full replacement
What completion looks like:
Our commitment: We run the system while we’re there to make sure everything works. No “let’s see if this fixes it” and leaving you to discover problems later.
Coastal considerations matter. Pumps in Seal Beach face different challenges than pumps in Lakewood. Salt air corrodes electrical connections faster. Humidity affects motor longevity. Older homes in established neighborhoods like Bixby Knolls sometimes need electrical upgrades before installing modern variable speed pumps.
We account for these local factors in every repair because we’ve been working in these neighborhoods for 15 years. We know what breaks, why it breaks, and how to fix it so it stays fixed.
Before you call, here’s what most Long Beach families want to know about pump repair:
Honest answer: Simple repairs like replacing a seal or capacitor run $200-400. Motor replacements cost $800-1500. Full pump replacement ranges $800-2,500 depending on the pump type and efficiency level you choose.
Here’s what affects the price: the specific part that failed, whether your pump is still under warranty, and whether repair actually makes sense or if replacement is smarter long-term. We’ll never sell you a new pump if a $250 repair buys you another 3-5 years.
Here’s what matters more: Getting honest diagnosis from someone who isn’t motivated to sell you the most expensive option.
Our commitment: We give you written estimates before starting any work, and we explain the cost difference between repairing your current pump versus upgrading to energy-efficient equipment that pays for itself.
Timeline: Most pump repairs take 1-3 hours once we’re onsite. Simple fixes like replacing a capacitor or cleaning an impeller? Under an hour. Full motor replacement or complete pump swap? 2-3 hours including testing.
Here’s what affects timing: Parts availability (we stock common components), complexity of your plumbing setup, and whether we discover additional issues during diagnosis. Older homes in Los Altos or Bixby Knolls sometimes have unique plumbing configurations that take extra time.
Our efficiency advantage: We arrive with fully-stocked service trucks so we’re not running to supply stores mid-job. Most repairs happen same-visit because we have the parts and expertise ready.
Short answer: Minimal disruption for most repairs.
Your pool will be down while we work—usually 1-3 hours—but we schedule around your family’s needs. Weekend party coming up? We prioritize getting you operational before guests arrive. Kids want to swim after school? We’ll schedule morning service.
The bigger consideration: Waiting to fix pump problems actually causes more disruption. When pumps fail completely, your pool can turn green in 3-4 days, requiring chemical shock treatment and extra days before it’s swimmable again.
Quality assurance: We test the entire system before we leave—running the pump through full cycles, checking pressure readings, verifying flow rates, and inspecting all connections for leaks.
Our guarantees:
Certifications that protect you: Jandy and Pentair certified installer status means we follow exact manufacturer specifications. That protects your equipment warranty and ensures proper installation that lasts.
What makes us different:
We’ve spent 15 years mastering pool systems in Long Beach—not just pumps, but how pumps interact with filters, heaters, salt systems, and plumbing. That comprehensive knowledge means we find and fix root causes, not just symptoms.
Local expertise: We know the difference between pump problems in coastal Seal Beach versus inland Lakewood. We understand that older neighborhoods have unique electrical and plumbing considerations. We’ve worked in your area—probably on your street.
Our guarantee: 24-hour response for repair calls, honest diagnosis even when repair isn’t the most profitable option for us, and education so you understand your system.
Real talk: You can absolutely buy a pump and try installing it yourself. Some handy homeowners pull it off successfully.
But here’s the risk: Pool pumps are part of a pressurized plumbing system with specific flow requirements, electrical codes, and warranty conditions. One mistake—wrong size pump, improper plumbing connections, incorrect electrical wiring—and you’ve got leaks, system damage, or voided warranties.
What typically happens: Homeowners install pumps themselves, then call us three weeks later because the pool isn’t circulating properly or the pump is making weird noises. Now they’re paying for both the pump they bought and our service to fix the installation problems.
Our value: We get it right the first time, protect your manufacturer warranty with certified installation, and save you the weekend you’d spend troubleshooting YouTube videos.
Pool pump problems don’t fix themselves. That weird noise gets louder. The weak flow gets weaker. And eventually, the pump stops working completely—usually on a Friday afternoon before a pool party or the hottest weekend of summer.
The longer you wait:
Long Beach pools get heavy use from May through September. Your pump is running 6-8 hours daily, filtering thousands of gallons, fighting algae in warm water. This is when pumps fail—and when you need them working most.
Current availability: We’re responding to pump repair calls within 24 hours, but summer scheduling fills fast. The families who call today get same-day or next-day service. The ones who wait until their pump completely dies? They’re looking at 2-3 day waits during our busiest weeks.
Energy cost factor: Every month you run an old, inefficient pump instead of upgrading to variable speed technology, you’re spending $50-80 more on electricity than necessary. That’s $600-900 annually you’re throwing away.
