Complete Pool Equipment Repair Services in Scottsdale

Pool Pump Repair & Replacement

Pool pumps are the heart of your circulation system, and pump failures mean no filtration, no heating, and no cleaning. Our pump repair services handle all common pump problems including motor failures from bearing wear or electrical issues, impeller clogs from debris or calcium buildup, seal leaks that cause water loss and equipment damage, capacitor failures that prevent motor starting, and cavitation problems from restricted water flow or air leaks.

We diagnose pump issues accurately using proper testing procedures, not guesswork. We explain whether repair or replacement makes economic sense based on pump age, damage extent, and efficiency considerations. When variable-speed pumps can save Scottsdale homeowners $50-100 monthly in electricity costs, we provide honest guidance about upgrade options. Our pump repairs are completed efficiently with quality parts and backed by solid warranties.

Pool Heater Repair & Troubleshooting

Scottsdale's cooler winter evenings and occasional cold spells mean properly functioning pool heaters extend your swimming season significantly. Our heater repair services address all heater problems including ignition failures that prevent heating, sensor malfunctions causing incorrect temperature readings, flame sensor issues that shut down heaters prematurely, pressure switch problems preventing heater operation, and heat exchanger issues from scaling or corrosion.

Pool heaters are complex appliances requiring gas, water, and electrical systems to work together correctly. Our licensed technicians have the expertise to diagnose interaction problems that stump less experienced repair people. We repair both gas heaters and heat pumps, working with all major brands. Scottsdale's hard water causes scaling in heat exchangers that reduces efficiency and can eventually cause failure—we provide preventive maintenance recommendations to maximize heater longevity.

Pool Filter Repair & Servicing

Clean, properly functioning filters are essential for clear water and efficient system operation. Our filter repair and servicing includes diagnosing and fixing high or low pressure issues, repairing or replacing damaged filter grids or cartridges, fixing multiport valve problems that affect backwashing, replacing worn standpipes or laterals in sand filters, and addressing tank cracks or structural issues.

Many filter problems in Scottsdale result from inadequate maintenance or calcium buildup from hard water. We provide professional filter cleaning that restores proper operation, and we advise on filter maintenance schedules that prevent premature wear. Whether your pool has a DE filter, cartridge filter, or sand filter, our technicians have extensive experience with all types and can repair or replace components as needed.

Automation System Repair & Programming

Pool automation systems provide convenient control but can be frustrating when they malfunction. Our automation system repair services include fixing programming issues and corrupted settings, repairing failed relays and valve actuators, resolving wireless connectivity and network problems, replacing faulty temperature sensors and switches, and correcting power supply and circuit board issues.

We service all major automation brands including Pentair IntelliCenter, IntelliTouch, and EasyTouch systems, Hayward OmniLogic and OmniHub controllers, and Zodiac iAqualink systems. Beyond just fixing hardware problems, we help optimize programming for Scottsdale's climate, adjust schedules for seasonal changes, and train you on using features you may not be aware of. Our technicians stay current with automation technology and can integrate new equipment into existing systems.

Salt System Repair & Cell Replacement

Salt chlorination systems are popular in Scottsdale but require specialized knowledge for proper repair and maintenance. Our salt system repair services address chlorine production problems from scaled cells or failed boards, cell sensor failures that cause incorrect readings, flow switch problems that prevent system operation, power supply issues affecting chlorine generation, and control board failures requiring component replacement.

Scottsdale's extremely hard water causes calcium to build up on salt cell plates faster than in areas with softer water. We repair and clean salt cells using proper techniques that extend cell life without causing damage. We also provide guidance on managing salt systems in hard water conditions, including when acid cleaning is needed and when cell replacement becomes necessary. Our salt system expertise ensures reliable chlorine production year-round.

Additional Equipment Repair Services

Beyond major equipment, we repair pool cleaners and in-floor cleaning systems, pool lighting including LED color-changing systems, leak detection and plumbing repairs, control panels and electrical systems, and backflow preventers and check valves. Whatever equipment problem you're experiencing, McCool's has the expertise to diagnose and repair it correctly.

Why Scottsdale Homeowners Choose McCool's for Equipment Repair

Licensed, Experienced Repair Technicians

Our repair technicians are fully licensed and have nearly two decades of experience working on pool equipment in Arizona's demanding climate. Unlike general handymen or pool service companies that subcontract repairs, our in-house repair team has the specialized knowledge required to properly diagnose complex equipment problems and complete repairs that last. We see the same equipment failures that Arizona conditions cause repeatedly, giving us insight into problems and solutions that less experienced technicians might miss.

Accurate Diagnosis & Honest Recommendations

We invest time in proper diagnosis before beginning repairs, using testing equipment and systematic troubleshooting to identify root causes rather than replacing parts randomly until something works. This approach saves you money by ensuring we fix the actual problem, not just symptoms. We also provide honest guidance about repair versus replacement based on equipment age, repair cost, and efficiency considerations. If a variable-speed pump upgrade will pay for itself in two years through energy savings, we tell you. If a simple repair extends equipment life for several more years, we recommend that instead.

Quality Parts & Generous Warranties

We use manufacturer-approved replacement parts and quality components that withstand Arizona's harsh conditions. Cheap aftermarket parts might save a few dollars initially but often fail prematurely, causing repeat service calls and frustration. Our repairs are backed by generous warranties, and we handle all manufacturer warranty claims directly, making the process simple for you. We also provide complimentary follow-up visits on new installations to ensure everything operates perfectly.

We understand that equipment failures disrupt pool enjoyment and can cause additional damage if not addressed promptly. Our repair team responds quickly to service calls, often providing same-day or next-day service for Scottsdale customers. We carry common replacement parts and have access to parts warehouses throughout the Phoenix area, minimizing downtime. When we can't complete repairs immediately due to parts availability, we provide temporary solutions to keep your pool operational whenever possible.

Competitive Pricing & Price Matching

We provide fair, competitive pricing for equipment repairs and installations. We're willing to match competitor estimates for like services from licensed, bonded, and insured companies. We also provide detailed written estimates for significant repairs, explaining exactly what work will be performed and what parts will be used.

Signs Your Pool Equipment Needs Repair

Pump Warning Signs

Contact us for pump repair if you notice loud grinding or squealing noises, pump running but not moving water, water leaking from pump housing or seals, tripped breakers or pump not starting, or significantly reduced water flow through returns. These symptoms indicate problems that will worsen without repair and may cause complete pump failure or damage to other equipment.

Heater Problems

Schedule heater repair when you experience heater not igniting or staying lit, inconsistent water temperature or failure to reach set temperature, error codes or warning lights, unusual noises during operation, or the smell of gas near the heater. Heater problems can prevent pool use during cooler months and may indicate safety issues requiring immediate attention.

Filter Issues

Call for filter repair if filter pressure is unusually high or low, you see cloudy water despite proper chemical levels, the multiport valve leaks or doesn't function correctly, you notice filter tank cracks or damage, or water flows back into the pool during backwashing. Filter problems reduce water quality and force other equipment to work harder.

Automation & Control Problems

Seek automation repair when equipment doesn't turn on or off as scheduled, you lose remote or app control of your pool, temperature readings are incorrect or heating doesn't work properly, valve actuators don't move or stick in position, or the system frequently resets or displays error messages. Automation problems prevent you from enjoying the convenience these systems provide and can cause equipment damage if issues like valve failures go unaddressed.

Salt System Symptoms

Schedule salt system repair if the chlorine level drops despite adequate salt, the cell shows low or no chlorine production, you see error codes or warning lights, calcium buildup appears heavy on the cell plates, or the system displays "check cell" or similar messages. Salt system problems leave your pool under-sanitized and can allow algae growth if not corrected promptly.

Preventive Maintenance Saves Scottsdale Homeowners Money

The best equipment repair is preventing problems before they cause failures. Our weekly maintenance service in Scottsdale includes equipment inspections that identify developing issues early, when repairs are simpler and less expensive. We monitor filter pressure trends, listen for changes in pump sounds, check for small leaks before they become major problems, verify heater operation during cooler months, and inspect electrical connections before they cause failures.

This proactive approach means fewer emergency repair calls, longer equipment life through proper care, lower total ownership costs over time, and reliable pool operation when you want to use it. Scottsdale homeowners who invest in quality weekly maintenance experience significantly fewer equipment problems than those who skip regular service or use low-cost providers who don't properly inspect equipment.

Equipment upgrades also provide opportunities to improve efficiency and reduce operating costs. When repairing old pumps, we discuss variable-speed pump options that can save $600-1200 annually in electricity. When replacing heaters, we explain heat pump options that cost less to operate. When automation systems fail, we present current technology options that provide better control and integration. Our goal is helping you make informed decisions that maximize your pool investment value.
