How an Equipment Repair Works
Pool equipment repair starts with a check of the plant room. The plant room is the room or pit that holds the pump, the filter and the controls.

Repair and Test
The work starts after the client accepts the quote. Pool Experts SG carries common spare parts and orders other parts after the quote is accepted. It tests the equipment before the handover.
Repair or Replace?
Pool Experts SG repairs a part when it can be repaired.
When it cannot, Pool Experts SG replaces it with a part of the same type and capacity, so the pool runs as it did before.
- The quote states which parts get a repair and which parts get a replacement
- A worn pump can be rebuilt with a new impeller, bearings, capacitor or mechanical seal
- A replacement is the better choice when the repair costs more than half the price of new equipment, when breakdowns become frequent, or when the equipment can no longer run safely and reliably
- Equipment near the end of the life in its manufacturer's guide can get a planned replacement
- A replacement pump or filter matches the existing pipework and flow
Equipment Pool Experts SG Repairs and Replaces
Each pool has a circulation system. The pump pulls water from the pool, the filter cleans it, and the water returns to the pool.
Pool Pumps
The pump keeps the water moving through the filter. A worn seal, a blocked strainer basket or a failing motor stops the flow.
- Leaks, rust and unusual noise at the pump
- The shaft seal (the seal between the pump and its motor)
- The strainer basket and its lid
- The motor and its starter, with a check of the starting and running current
- The impeller, the bearings, the capacitor and the mechanical seal, or a rebuild of the whole pump
- Variable-speed pumps and their drives
- Wear checks and lubrication of the moving parts
Pool Filters
The filter removes dirt from the water. Pools use sand, glass media, cartridge or DE (diatomaceous earth, a fine white powder) filters.
- The filter tank and its lid seal
- The multiport valve, serviced, and the pressure gauge, replaced when it fails
- The filter media (the sand or glass inside the tank), inspected and changed when it no longer filters
- Filter cartridges, replaced
- DE filter grids, repaired
Pools with more than one filter
In a licensed pool, valves close off one filter for repair while the others keep running. For routine filter care, see pool maintenance.
Valves, Pipework and Control Panels
Valves direct the water between the pool, the filter and the drain. The control panel starts the pump and protects its motor.
- Multiport, ball and non-return valves (a non-return valve lets water flow one way only)
- Pipe connections, flanges and fixings in the plant room
- Level sensors and solenoid valves (electric valves that open and close the water supply)
- The control panel, motor starters, alarms, fuses and indicator lamps, with the electrical work done by a Licensed Electrical Worker
When the pool loses water
A leak in the pool, the buried pipes or the plant room needs detection first. See pool leak detection and repair.
Heat Pumps
A heat pump warms the pool water. Pool Experts SG reads the heat pump error codes and repairs the compressor, the heat exchanger and the thermostat. Pool Experts SG also checks the connections to the filtration circuit. Top-up water must pass through the filter before it reaches the pool.
Pool Lights
Underwater lights sit in the pool walls. Pool Experts SG checks the lights, and repairs or replaces failed lamps and light fittings.
Salt Chlorinators and Dosing Equipment
A salt chlorinator makes chlorine from salt in the water. Pool Experts SG cleans and replaces salt cells, and repairs the chlorinator control board. Pool Experts SG also services automatic dosing machines, and calibrates their acidity and chlorine sensors.
Equipment Repair for Homes, Condos and Commercial Pools
The equipment is the same on each type of pool.
Private Pools at Landed Homes
Pool Experts SG repairs the pump, the filter, the heat pump, the lights and the salt chlorinator of private pools at landed homes. The homeowner decides when the pool closes for the repair.
Condos and MCSTs
Pool Experts SG repairs the pumps, filters, valves and control panels in condo plant rooms. A condo pool has a standby pump in each filtration system, so the water keeps moving while Pool Experts SG repairs the duty pump.
Clubs, Hotels and Commercial Pools
Pool Experts SG repairs and replaces the equipment in club, hotel and commercial plant rooms, including dosing equipment and control panels. Pool Experts SG plans the repair around the closure dates.
Pool Equipment Repair FAQs
Do you repair the pump or replace it?
Pool Experts SG repairs the pump when the faulty part can be repaired. Pool Experts SG recommends a replacement when the repair costs more than half the price of a new pump, when the pump breaks down often, or when it can no longer run safely and reliably. A pump near the end of the life in its manufacturer's guide can also get a planned replacement. The new pump is the same type and size, and the quote states which work is needed before the work starts.
What are the common problems with pool equipment?
The common problems are a leak, rust or unusual noise at the pump, a worn shaft seal, a blocked strainer basket and a failing motor. Filter media can stop filtering, and a valve or the control panel can fail. Pool Experts SG inspects the plant room, finds the fault and sends an itemised quote before the work starts.
Which equipment brands do you repair?
Pool Experts SG repairs and supplies Grundfos, Waterco, Pentair and Emaux equipment. To check a brand or a model, send Pool Experts SG a photo of the equipment label.
Does a condo pool have to close for an equipment repair?
Not always. A licensed pool must have a standby pump, so the water can keep moving while the duty pump is repaired. If a repair closes the pool, the licence holder must tell NEA before the closure, and the pool must pass all the regulated water tests before it reopens.
