Pool Pump Repair in Denver, CO
Single-speed and variable-speed pool pump repair for the symptoms that interrupt circulation - humming, screeching, lost prime, leaks, and motor failures. We isolate the fault, fix the component, or recommend a variable-speed upgrade when that's the smarter call.

Who this service is for
Best for pumps that hum but won't spin, screech loudly, lose prime, leak at the shaft, or trip the breaker.
Why the pump matters so much
The pump is the heart of the system. If it stops circulating, your sanitizer stops mixing, filtration stops, and water goes bad fast. The most common pump problems - noise, lost prime, leaks - are usually a specific component, not the whole pump.
We find that component before recommending anything.
0Common pump problems we address
Each symptom points to a different part. We test before swapping anything.
Pump symptoms and likely causes
- Humming but not spinning - capacitor or motor winding
- Screeching or grinding - worn motor bearings
- Lost prime / air in pump - suction-side air leak, lid O-ring, clogged impeller
- Leaking at the shaft - mechanical shaft seal
- Tripping the breaker - electrical fault or short
Variable-speed upgrades
If a pump is beyond economic repair, a variable-speed pump often pays for itself over time through lower energy use and quieter operation. We walk through the trade-offs - upfront cost, expected savings, rebate availability - and program the speed schedule for your pool. We recommend it when it makes sense, not as a default upsell.
2What pump repair includes
Repair work covers the components that bring circulation back without replacing the whole unit unnecessarily.

What pump repair does not include
We don't patch cracked polymer housings with silicone adhesives - a cracked housing is replaced. We also don't perform high-voltage utility work past the pad disconnect; if the fault is upstream, we refer.
