Fast diagnosis
We find the real cause of noise, leaks, loss of prime, or failure, not just symptoms.
The pump moves and filters every drop of water in your pool. WETYR Pools repairs failing pumps and upgrades old ones to efficient variable-speed models.
When a pool pump fails, circulation stops and water quality drops fast. We diagnose and repair noisy, leaking, or dead pumps, and we upgrade single-speed pumps to modern variable-speed models. A variable-speed pump runs quieter, lasts longer, and can dramatically cut the largest part of a pool's energy bill.
WETYR Pools handles pump service as a craftsman-led, design-build team. The people who plan your project are the people who build it and stand behind it, with no quality lost in the handoffs between separate companies. One team, one standard, and one point of accountability from the first conversation through long-term care.
If the filter is the pool's kidney, the pump is its heart. It is the single component that makes everything else possible. The pump moves the water, and moving water is what allows the filter to filter, the sanitizer to circulate, the heater to heat, and the water features to run. When the pump stops, the entire pool stops with it. Circulation ends, and within a day or two still water begins to cloud and, in warm weather, to turn.
Because the pump runs longer than anything else on the pad, it is also the component that wears, and it rarely fails without warning. It gets louder. It starts to leak. It struggles to hold prime. It trips a breaker, or it runs hot. These are not quirks to live with; they are a pump telling you, clearly, that something inside it is failing. Caught early, most are a straightforward repair. Ignored, the same small fault usually takes the whole pump down.
WETYR Pools services, repairs, and upgrades pool pumps, and because we maintain whole pools we tend to catch a pump's early warnings on a routine visit, before they become a dead pump and a cloudy pool. When a pump does need attention, we diagnose it properly and fix it once.

Pumps matched correctly to your pool, filter, and features.
A pump problem shows itself as a symptom, but the symptom is rarely the whole story. Good repair starts with finding the actual cause.
A pump that has become loud is usually reporting worn motor bearings or a problem with the impeller. A distinct rattling or grinding is different from the screech of a dry bearing, and the sound itself helps point to the cause. New noise is worth checking before it becomes a failure.
Water under or around a pump commonly points to a failed shaft seal, a perished O-ring, or a cracked housing. A seal leak in particular should not be left, because water reaching the motor turns a small part into a destroyed motor.
A pump that loses prime, sucking air, losing the water it needs to move, usually has an air leak on the suction side: a loose lid, a tired lid O-ring, a fitting, or a valve. We trace the leak rather than just topping the basket up.
A pump that is dead, hums without turning, or trips the breaker may have a failed capacitor, a seized motor, or an electrical fault. We test to separate a simple, inexpensive fix from a genuine motor failure.
When a pump fails, the owner faces a fork: repair the pump that is there, or replace it. The wrong way to answer that question is with a reflex, and unfortunately a reflexive replace is common in the industry because a new pump is a bigger ticket. WETYR Pools answers it honestly, by weighing the actual situation.
Several things go into the answer. How old is the pump, and how close to the end of its service life. Is the fault a genuinely minor one, a capacitor, a seal, an O-ring, where a quality repair clearly makes sense. Or has the motor itself failed on an older pump, where money spent on a repair is money spent on a unit that will fail again soon. And critically: is the existing pump a single-speed model, in which case replacement is also an opportunity to upgrade to something far more efficient.
We lay that out plainly, with the costs of each path, and let you make an informed decision. Sometimes the right call is a clean, inexpensive repair that gives a sound pump several more good years. Sometimes the right call is replacement. We will tell you which, and why, rather than defaulting to whichever is the larger invoice.
When replacement is the right answer, and often even when repair would be possible, the smartest move is to upgrade an old single-speed pump to a modern variable-speed model. The reason is energy. The pool pump is typically the single largest electricity user attached to a home pool, and an old single-speed pump has only one setting: full power, every minute it runs. It uses far more energy than the pool actually needs for everyday circulation.
A variable-speed pump can run slow. For routine filtering it turns at a low, quiet, highly efficient speed, and it steps up only when a task, a water feature, a cleaning cycle, genuinely needs more flow. Running slower for most of the day uses dramatically less electricity, and the saving is large enough that a variable-speed pump frequently pays back its cost over time and then continues saving for the rest of its life. It is one of the rare upgrades that is also an investment.
Variable-speed pumps are quieter, too, and they pair perfectly with smart automation, which can manage their speeds and schedules automatically. WETYR Pools sizes the new pump correctly to your pool, filter, and features, never simply swapping like for like if the original was poorly matched, and installs it as part of one accountable service. Every repair and upgrade is presented with clear, upfront pricing.
Clear answers to the questions homeowners ask most.
Usually yes. An old single-speed pump runs at full power whenever it is on, while a variable-speed pump runs slow and efficient for everyday circulation. The energy saving is large enough that a variable-speed pump often pays back its cost over time, then keeps saving.
New noise from a pump usually signals worn motor bearings or an impeller problem. It is the pump warning you that something inside is failing. It is best to have it checked early, because caught in time it is often a straightforward repair.
With good care, several years, and often longer for quality variable-speed units. Regular service, clean filters, and fixing small issues early all extend pump life. A pump forced to work against a clogged filter wears out faster.
It depends on the pump's age, the specific fault, and whether it is a single-speed model. A minor fault on a sound pump is worth repairing; a failed motor on an old pump usually is not. We give you an honest comparison of both paths rather than defaulting to replacement.
Losing prime, sucking air instead of water, usually means an air leak on the suction side: a loose pump lid, a worn lid O-ring, a fitting, or a valve. We trace and fix the actual leak rather than just refilling the pump basket.
It can, noticeably. The pump is typically the largest electricity user attached to a pool. Replacing an always-full-power single-speed pump with a variable-speed model that runs slow for routine circulation meaningfully reduces the pool's energy use over a year.
