Pool pump repair in Encino is about more than getting water moving again. The pump runs every day through some of the hottest summers in the city, so the way it is repaired or replaced shows up on your LADWP bill for years. We diagnose the failure, repair the pump when it is worth saving and replace it when it is not.

The usual reasons for pool pump repair in Encino are a pump that hums without starting, water dripping from the shaft seal, air in the pump basket or a motor that trips its breaker. Each has a short list of causes, and we test before ordering parts.

Pool Pump Repair in Encino: What Makes It Different

Encino's pumps work in real heat. NOAA's climate normals for Van Nuys Airport, a few miles north, show average highs of about 91°F in July and 93°F in August. (Source: NOAA) A motor sitting in afternoon sun on those days runs hot, and a worn bearing or weak capacitor is more likely to give out in August than in January.

Electricity is the other local factor. LADWP says replacing a single-speed pool pump with a variable-speed model can save up to 1,100 kWh a year. (Source: LADWP) Its Consumer Rebate Program also lists a $500 rebate per unit for a qualifying variable-speed pool pump and motor, limited to one per residence, and the model must appear on LADWP's qualifying list. (Source: LADWP) The utility runs limited-time specials too, so we suggest checking the current terms before you buy. That rebate can change the math when an old single-speed pump needs a new motor anyway.

What's Included

Pool pump repair in Encino follows the diagnose-first approach on our pool pump repair service page:

  • Motor and circuit tests. Voltage, amp draw, capacitor and shaft checked at the pad.
  • Wet-end inspection. Impeller, diffuser, lid O-ring and shaft seal.
  • Air leak repair. Suction-side unions, valves and fittings sealed.
  • Replacement when needed. A compliant variable-speed motor or pump sized to your plumbing and filter; see variable-speed pump upgrades.

Getting Real Savings From a Variable-Speed Pump

A variable-speed pump only saves money if it actually runs slowly. ENERGY STAR explains that cutting pump speed in half lets the pump use just one-eighth as much energy. (Source: ENERGY STAR) We program low-speed filtration for most of the day, with short faster periods for skimming, a cleaner or the spa, and we tune the schedule for your leaf load so the skimmer still pulls debris.

If a timer or automation system controls the pump, we set that up as well. Explore everything else we do on the Pool Cleaning Los Angeles homepage.

Why choose us

Why Encino Homeowners Choose Pool Cleaning Los Angeles

1 owner, test to fix

No Salesperson, No Handoff

The person who tests your pump is the person who repairs or replaces it, with no sales visit followed by an installer who has never seen your pad. If a seal or capacitor will solve the problem, that is what we recommend, and if the pump is near the end of its life, you will hear that directly.

6 readings after service

Water Checked After Every Repair

A pump that was down for a few summer days leaves chlorine low and water drifting. After the repair we test the pool and text you a photo with six readings, so you know whether it needs a boost. Weekly customers get that same report on every visit, month to month with no contract.

7 days a week

Answering When the Pump Quits

Pumps rarely fail at a convenient moment. We answer 7 days a week, 6 AM to 10 PM, from the Encino flats to the hills along Mulholland Drive and across LA County. Tell us the brand and what the pump is doing, and switch it off at the breaker if it hums without starting.

FAQ

Pool Pump Repair & Replacement in Encino: FAQ

Will a new variable-speed pump qualify for the LADWP rebate?

It can if the exact model is on LADWP's qualifying pool pump and motor list and your application is postmarked within 12 months of purchase. We can install a qualifying model, and you should confirm the current amount and terms with LADWP before buying.

Why does my pump leak only while it is running?

A drip that starts with the pump usually points to the shaft seal between the motor and the wet end. The seal is an inexpensive part, but water that reaches the motor bearings turns it into a much larger repair.

How old is too old to repair a pump?

There is no fixed cutoff. A worn seal on a young pump is a clear repair. The same failure on an older single-speed pump often makes replacement the better value once energy savings and any rebate are counted.
