How do I know if my pool automation system needs repair?

Common signs include the control panel being unresponsive or displaying error codes, schedules failing to turn the pump or heater on, or the mobile app losing connection to the system. We can diagnose whether the issue is a faulty board, a bad sensor, or a simple programming error.

Do you repair salt water systems and chlorinators?

Yes, we repair all major salt water systems. If your salt cell is not producing chlorine, we test the flow switch, clean the cell, and check the control board for faults to determine the exact cause.

Can you fix my pool control panel if the screen is blank?

A blank screen usually points to a blown fuse, a failed transformer, or a dead display board. We troubleshoot the electrical supply to the panel to pinpoint the failure and provide a written quote for the repair.

Why is my pool heater not turning on from the app?

This is often a communication issue between the automation system and the heater. It could be a damaged communication wire, a faulty temperature sensor, or a relay failure. We trace the connection to find and fix the break.

Do you update the firmware on pool automation systems?

Yes, outdated firmware can cause connectivity issues with modern routers and smartphones. We can update the software on systems like Pentair IntelliCenter and Jandy iAqualink to ensure they operate smoothly.

How long does an automation repair take?

Many repairs, such as replacing a temperature sensor or a relay, can be done in a single visit. If a main control board needs to be ordered, we will secure the system and return promptly to install the new part.

Repair vs Replace: Control Systems

When Repair Makes Sense

If the core system is functioning but a single component has failed, like a temperature sensor, a pump relay, or a flow switch, repairing it is the most cost-effective option. We carry many of these common parts and can often fix the issue on the spot.

When Upgrading is Better

If your system is over 10 years old and the main motherboard has shorted out, finding replacement parts can be difficult and expensive. In these cases, we often recommend upgrading to a modern automation system that offers better reliability and smartphone control. We will provide a free written quote so you can compare the costs.
