Pool Repair Work in Durbanville

Pump, filter and equipment work, and new pool installations.

Pool pump, multiport valve and sand filter removed and standing on paving
A complete filtration set lifted out for assessment — pump and basket on the left, multiport valve in the middle, sand filter behind.
Pool pump and sand filter connected to new PVC pipework alongside a wall
Pump and filter reconnected on fresh pipework. Sizing the pump to the pool and the filter matters more than fitting the biggest one available.
Excavation through brick paving exposing pool suction pipework beside a weir
Digging to reach the suction line. A pump that will not hold prime is usually air getting in somewhere ahead of it, not the pump itself.
Completed fibreglass pool filled with water and finished with dark grey coping
Filled, coped and finished. From delivery to this point is normally a few days on a straightforward site.

Expert repairs for estate pool equipment and systems

Pool Pump Repairs and Replacement

When pool pumps fail, water stops circulating and pools deteriorate quickly. Common pump problems include motor failures, seal leaks causing water around pumps, impeller blockages reducing flow, and electrical issues preventing startup. We diagnose pump problems accurately - determining whether repairs are viable or replacement necessary. Estate properties often have variable-speed pumps requiring specialized knowledge. We repair pumps when economical, source quality replacements when needed, and ensure proper sizing for your pool volume and equipment requirements.

Filter Repairs and Sand Changes

Pool filters are critical for water clarity. Sand filters need sand replaced every 3-5 years as it loses effectiveness. Cartridge filters require periodic element replacement. DE filters need grids inspected and DE powder recharged. We handle filter repairs - replacing damaged laterals, fixing broken multiport valves, repairing leaking tanks, and solving pressure problems. High-end pools often have large commercial-grade filters requiring professional servicing. We service all filter types, advise on maintenance schedules, and keep premium pool filtration operating perfectly.

Chlorinator Repairs and Salt System Service

Salt chlorinators have become standard in premium pools, but they require proper maintenance and occasional repairs. Cell cleaning removes calcium buildup maintaining chlorine production, electronic board failures need diagnosis and replacement, and flow sensors can malfunction preventing operation. We service all major chlorinator brands, replace cells when they've reached end of life, and ensure salt levels are correct for efficient operation. Properly functioning chlorinators keep water sanitized automatically without constant chemical additions.

Valves, Timers, and Pool Equipment

Pool systems include numerous components that can fail. Multiport valves develop leaks or become difficult to turn, check valves stick causing backflow problems, and ball valves crack or seize. Pool timers controlling pumps and chlorinators fail, preventing automated operation. We repair or replace faulty valves, install new timers, fix pipe leaks, and address all equipment issues. Premium pools have sophisticated automation requiring expert troubleshooting. We handle everything from simple valve replacement to complex equipment repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What areas do you serve?

We serve the entire Durbanville area and nearby suburbs. Our local network allows us to connect you with suitable professionals familiar with properties and service requirements in Durbanville.

How do you find pool leaks?

We use pressure testing, dye testing, and specialized equipment to locate leaks in pool structures and plumbing — without needing to drain the pool in most cases.

Can you repair cracked pool structures?

Yes, we repair cracks in concrete and fiberglass pools using appropriate sealing and resurfacing techniques.

Do you work on salt water pools?

Yes, we service and repair both chlorine and salt water pool systems and equipment.

How do I know if my pool has a leak?

Signs of a pool leak include the water level dropping more than normal evaporation (roughly 5mm per day), constantly needing to top up, wet or soft spots around the pool area, or algae returning quickly after treatment. A pool leak detection specialist can confirm and locate the exact source.

Can pool leaks be repaired without draining the pool?

In many cases, yes. Minor structural cracks and fitting leaks can be repaired underwater using specialist sealants. Larger repairs may require partial or full draining depending on the location and severity of the leak.
