Pool repair and equipment service in Southern California.
Describe it in a minute. We get back to you, and a licensed, insured partner contractor handles the diagnosis and repair.
One message, a real person, a licensed pro.
Pool equipment tends to fail at the worst time: the first heat wave, the week before a party, the day you leave on vacation. When it does, you want two things: someone who answers, and someone qualified to fix it.
Send us a short description of what you're seeing, hearing or smelling, and when it started. We get back to you the way you ask, request photos if they'd help, and line up a licensed, insured partner contractor for the diagnosis and repair. In California, most repair and equipment work requires a state contractor's license, so you'll get the contractor's name and license number in writing before any work starts.
If you're already on our weekly cleaning route, we often catch problems early: rising filter pressure, a pump that's getting louder, a slow leak at a valve. Our Full Equipment & Care plan includes an equipment check on every visit and priority repair response within 48 hours for exactly that reason.
If the pool is old enough that repairs keep stacking up, compare the cost of a remodel (new surface, tile and equipment) and, if you need it, the monthly math on our financing page. Answers to the most common questions are on the FAQ page, and how we work explains who does what.

Maintenance services on our Inland Empire routes (elsewhere, a vetted local pro). Equipment repairs and replacements are quoted by a licensed partner contractor after diagnosis.
Quick checks that sometimes fix it.
Safe things to look at first. If anything involves gas, electrical panels or a breaker that keeps tripping, stop and let a licensed pro handle it.
- Is the pump basket full or the skimmer clogged?
- Is the water level high enough for the skimmer to pull?
- Did a timer or automation schedule change after a power outage?
- Is the filter pressure much higher than normal?
- Are any valves turned partly closed?
- Bucket test for leaks: compare a bucket of pool water on the step against the pool level after 24 hours
