Complete Pool Equipment Repair Services

Pump Motor Repair and Replacement

Your pool pump is the heart of your circulation system, and when it fails, your entire pool stops functioning properly. Our pump repair specialists diagnose and fix common problems including noisy or grinding bearings that indicate imminent failure, leaking shaft seals that waste water and can damage motors, motors that won't start or trip breakers repeatedly, weak circulation from worn impellers, and overheating motors that shut down prematurely.

We repair pumps from all major manufacturers including Pentair, Hayward, Zodiac, and Sta-Rite. When motors are beyond economical repair, we provide detailed replacement estimates and can often upgrade you to energy-efficient variable-speed pumps that dramatically reduce operating costs. Our technicians carry common parts on their trucks and can often complete repairs during the same visit, minimizing downtime for your pool.

Pool Heater Troubleshooting and Repair

Anthem's cooler winter evenings and spring mornings make pool heaters essential for extending your swim season. Our heater repair expertise covers both gas heaters and heat pumps, addressing ignition failures that prevent heating, thermostat problems causing inconsistent temperatures, flow switch issues that stop heater operation, burner or heat exchanger problems reducing efficiency, and control board failures affecting heater function.

We service Pentair MasterTemp, Jandy JXi, Hayward H-Series, and all other major brands. Our licensed technicians understand gas systems and can diagnose whether problems are mechanical, electrical, or gas supply related. We provide honest assessments about repair costs versus replacement and help you understand when upgrading to more efficient equipment makes financial sense.

Filter Service and Repair

Proper filtration is essential for clean, healthy water, and filter problems affect water quality and equipment performance. Our filter repair services address high pressure indicating clogged media or internal problems, poor water quality despite proper chemistry, DE or sand blowing back into the pool, multiport valve leaks or failure to change positions, cracked tanks or manifolds requiring replacement, and cartridge housing o-ring failures causing air leaks.

We service all filter types including DE (diatomaceous earth), cartridge, and sand filters from Pentair, Hayward, Zodiac, and other manufacturers. Whether your filter needs media replacement, valve rebuilding, or complete replacement, we provide expert service and help you choose the best solution for your specific pool and budget.

Automation System Repair

Modern pool automation should make pool ownership easier, but when systems malfunction, they can be frustrating and complex to diagnose. Our automation repair specialists fix programming errors and lost settings, communication failures between controller and equipment, failed relays preventing equipment from turning on or off, valve actuators that don't respond or stick, touchscreen or display problems, and wireless connectivity issues with apps or remotes.

We're highly experienced with Pentair IntelliCenter, IntelliTouch, and EasyTouch systems, Hayward OmniLogic and OmniHub controllers, and Zodiac iAqualink systems. Our technicians understand both the hardware and software aspects of these systems and can restore functionality quickly while providing programming assistance to optimize your automation's performance.

Salt System Troubleshooting and Repair

Salt chlorinator systems provide convenient, consistent chlorination, but they require proper maintenance and occasional repairs. Our salt system repair services handle low chlorine production requiring diagnostic testing, salt cell cleaning or replacement, flow switch problems preventing operation, control board failures, incorrect salt level readings, and power supply issues affecting system function.

We service Pentair IntelliChlor, Hayward AquaRite and TurboCell, Zodiac LM and Tri series, and other major brands. Regular cell inspection and cleaning is part of our weekly maintenance service, but when systems fail, we provide expert diagnosis and repair to restore proper chlorination.

Additional Equipment Repairs

Beyond major equipment, we repair pool cleaners (both robotic and suction-side), lighting systems including LED fixtures, time clocks and switches, check valves and other plumbing components, skimmers and drains requiring rebuilding, and pool covers and cover systems. Our experienced technicians handle virtually any pool equipment repair challenge Anthem homeowners face.

Why Choose McCool's for Pool Equipment Repair in Anthem

Licensed, Full-Time Repair Technicians

Our repair team consists of full-time licensed technicians, not maintenance workers who dabble in repairs. This specialization means extensive experience with complex equipment, proper diagnostic tools and testing equipment, manufacturer-specific training and certifications, and the expertise to repair rather than just replace components. We invest in ongoing education to stay current with new technology and repair techniques.

Accurate Diagnosis Saves Money

The difference between a good technician and a parts-changer is accurate diagnosis. We systematically test to identify the actual problem rather than guessing or replacing parts unnecessarily. This approach saves you money by fixing what's actually broken, prevents return trips from misdiagnosis, and provides honest assessments about repair versus replacement economics. We explain what we found, why it failed, and what options you have.

Quality Parts with Warranty Coverage

We use manufacturer-approved parts and quality aftermarket components, never cheap knock-offs that fail quickly. All parts come with warranty coverage, and we handle manufacturer warranty claims directly so you don't have to deal with complicated processes. Our labor warranty is generous, and we provide complimentary follow-up visits on new installations to ensure everything operates correctly.

Competitive Pricing and Price Matching

We provide detailed, written estimates before performing repairs, so you know exactly what to expect. Our pricing is competitive and fair, reflecting the quality service and expertise we provide. We'll match competitor estimates from licensed, bonded, and insured companies on like-for-like repairs, ensuring you receive the best value without sacrificing quality or warranty coverage.

Fast Response and Flexible Scheduling

We understand equipment failures are inconvenient, especially during Anthem's warm months when you want to use your pool. We offer prompt scheduling for repairs, same-day service when possible for emergencies, and efficient work that minimizes your pool's downtime. Our technicians carry extensive parts inventory on their trucks to complete repairs without additional trips whenever possible.

Equipment Challenges Specific to Anthem Pools

Hard Water Impact on Equipment

Anthem's hard water accelerates scaling on heat exchangers, salt cells, and other equipment surfaces. This mineral buildup reduces efficiency, causes equipment failure, and requires more frequent maintenance. Our technicians understand these challenges and provide recommendations for managing hard water's impact on your equipment. We can often extend equipment life through proper maintenance and timely descaling procedures.

Temperature Extremes and Equipment Stress

Summer temperatures in Anthem regularly exceed 100°F, placing significant stress on pump motors, heaters, and automation systems installed in equipment pads with limited shade. We're experienced with heat-related failures and can advise on protecting equipment from temperature extremes. During winter, while milder than other areas, Anthem's elevation brings cooler temperatures that can affect heater operation and require seasonal adjustments.

Dust and Desert Environment

Fine desert dust infiltrates equipment, affecting motors, control boards, and moving parts. We carefully inspect for dust-related problems during repairs and can recommend protective measures for vulnerable equipment. Understanding these environmental factors helps us diagnose problems accurately and provide solutions that address root causes rather than just symptoms.

Age of Anthem Homes and Equipment

Many Anthem homes were built between 2000 and 2010, meaning original pool equipment is reaching end-of-life. We help homeowners navigate the repair versus replacement decision by providing honest assessments about remaining equipment life, potential for additional failures, and benefits of upgrading to modern, efficient equipment. Sometimes repair makes sense; other times, replacement is the better investment.

Our Equipment Repair Process

Step 1: Detailed Problem Assessment

We begin by understanding what symptoms you're experiencing and when they occur. Our technician inspects the equipment, reviews its service history if available, and asks questions to understand the complete picture before beginning diagnosis.

Step 2: Systematic Diagnostic Testing

Using professional diagnostic tools including multimeters, pressure gauges, temperature sensors, and manufacturer-specific diagnostic equipment, we systematically test components to identify the actual problem. We don't guess or jump to conclusions—we test until we know exactly what's wrong.

Step 3: Clear Explanation and Options

Once we've identified the problem, we explain in plain language what's wrong, why it happened, and what repair options exist. We provide detailed written estimates including parts, labor, and warranty coverage. For major repairs, we discuss repair versus replacement economics to help you make informed decisions.

Step 4: Expert Repair Work

After you approve the estimate, we perform repairs using proper techniques and quality parts. Our technicians take pride in workmanship that meets or exceeds manufacturer specifications. We test thoroughly after repairs to ensure everything functions correctly before leaving your property.

Step 5: Follow-Up and Support

We provide documentation of work performed, warranty information, and maintenance recommendations. Our follow-up support ensures you're satisfied with repairs and that equipment continues operating properly. If any issues arise, we respond quickly to make things right.

When to Call for Emergency Repairs
