Brands & Systems We Repair
Automation Brands
We service all major automation platforms found on Mentone pools, including Pentair IntelliCenter and EasyTouch, Hayward OmniLogic and ProLogic, and Jandy iAqualink and AquaLink RS. Many established properties in the Mentone Foothills and East Mentone Estates still run older AquaLink RS systems, and we carry the relays and sensors to keep them working. Our technicians understand the specific wiring schematics and programming logic for each platform.
Salt Systems
We repair salt chlorinator systems like Pentair IntelliChlor, Hayward AquaRite, and Jandy AquaPure. Mentone's hard water leaves scale on flow switches and cell sensors that can trigger false check cell errors even when the blades are clean. Whether it is a failed flow switch, a burnt thermistor on the control board, or a depleted salt cell, we use OEM parts to restore safe and consistent chlorine production.
Variable-Speed Pumps
We repair Pentair IntelliFlo, Hayward EcoStar, and Jandy ProSeries variable-speed pumps. On larger lots in the Mentone Foothills and East Mentone Estates with long plumbing runs, these pumps run extended schedules that stress drive boards and seals. We diagnose communication faults, drive failures, and programming errors that prevent the automation system from controlling the pump.
Heaters & Heat Pumps
We repair Pentair MasterTemp and UltraTemp, Hayward Universal and HeatPro, and Raypak digital and millivolt heaters. Cold mornings in the Crafton Hills area can trigger pressure switch faults and ignition failures on gas heaters. We replace flame sensors, pressure switches, and control boards so your automation system can fire the heater on schedule.
Getting Started Is Simple
A systematic approach to diagnosing electrical and software faults.
Diagnostic Testing
We test voltage, inspect relays, and check the communication lines between the control panel and the equipment.
Isolating the Fault
We determine if the issue is a failed hardware component, a bad sensor, or a software/programming error.
Written Quote
We explain the problem clearly and provide a free written quote for the necessary repair or part replacement.
Repair & Reprogramming
We install the new parts, verify communication with the app, and ensure all schedules and modes are functioning correctly.
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.
