5 Common Pool Repairs

Pool owners will have several repairs to make over the life of your pool.  Some of them can be costly to make, but all are needed to keep your pool functioning at its best.  Here is a list of five common pool repairs that you can expect sometime in the future.

Pool pump repairs are a common type of pool repair.  Since the pump is an integral part of your pool system and it works constantly, it makes sense that you would have to have it repaired and replaced at some point.  When the pool pump is not working, water cannot be circulated, heated, or filtered.   Call a professional for pool pump repairs.

If your pool has a liner, it is important to keep sharp objects away from the pool or you will have to repair the lining.  Tears can also happen over time as the pool ages and small ones can be patched.  However, if you let the tears get bigger, you may have to replace the lining.  A lining usually needs to be replaced about every 10 years.

Filters generally last for years with regular mainenance, but occasionally a filter will malfunction and need to be replaced.  Regular pool filter maintenance includes replacing the cartridge or filter media and cleaning the filter.  More extensive repairs will require the help of a professional.

Pool lights will need to be replaced occasionally.  If you are having problems with your lights and changing out the bulbs does not work, you will need to have an expert look at your lighting.

Leaks also happen over time and can be hard to find.  Anytime your water level begins to drop faster than normal, you should contact a professional.  Pool leaks not only waste water, but they also cause an increase in chemical use and can cause harmful underground erosion.  A leak can start in a variety of different areas and  a professional pool service can find them and get the leak repaired quickly.
