Equipment repair

Pool repair in Austin: pumps, heaters and equipment

Sullivan’s repairs and replaces pool pumps, filters, heaters, salt cells, valves and automation across Austin. We find the actual fault first, then quote the repair for your approval before any work starts, so you pay for the fix the pool needs rather than a guess at parts. Send the equipment’s make and model and what it is doing. Do not open electrical equipment or a pressurized filter yourself.

What we are called out for

  • Pumps and motors

    Pump and motor repair or replacement, including variable-speed conversions.

    Diagnosis of the actual fault, not a parts swap.

  • Heaters and filters

    Gas and heat-pump heaters; cartridge, DE and sand filter service.

    Diagnosed and repaired, with the reason explained before anything is quoted.

  • Salt and automation

    Salt cell testing and replacement; valve, actuator and automation faults.

    Quoted after the fault is found, never before it.

Service availability is confirmed for your address and the requested work. See the areas we cover.

Pool pump repair and replacement

We repair or replace pumps and motors, including variable-speed conversions, after finding the actual fault rather than swapping parts, and quote the work for your approval before any work starts. Switch a failing pump off rather than run it dry.

Pool heater repair (gas and heat pump)

We diagnose and repair gas and heat-pump pool heaters, and quote the repair for your approval before any work starts. Do not open electrical equipment yourself.

Salt cell repair

We test, clean and replace salt cells, and quote the work before it starts. Salt level and cell output are also tested on every weekly visit to a salt pool.

  • What information helps with a pool pump repair quote?

    Send the pump’s make and model, a photo of its label, the symptom or displayed error, and any available repair history. Note when the problem happens and whether anything recently changed. Do not open electrical equipment or a pressurized filter to collect this information.

  • Should I repair or replace my pool pump?

    Compare the diagnosed repair with a compatible replacement, including parts availability, warranty terms and operating costs for your actual schedule. There is no age or price-percentage rule that settles every case. Pump selection needs the required flow and total dynamic head; horsepower or neighborhood elevation alone is not enough.

  • Why is my pool pump losing prime?

    Pentair’s guidance lists suction leaks, low water and blockages among the causes. Check that the water is at the skimmer and the pump basket is clear, then call us to find the actual fault. Switch the pump off rather than run it dry, and never bypass its safety controls.

These are the questions about pool equipment repair and replacement. Every question we are asked often is answered across the whole site.
