Pool pumps are used to maintain the flow of water being pulled from and pushed into a pool. The water is pulled from the pool by a brass or plastic impeller that is shaft driven by an electric pump motor. On the way to the pump, the water is under a vacuum, which creates the suction. After the water leaves the impeller, the water is put under pressure, being pushed until it is released into the pool. Generally, the motor of a pool pump lasts for about 8 to 10 years and thus requires no such repair in the running period. When a motor of the pool pump gets damaged, there is no need to change the pool pump, its plastic accessory and others parts can still be used and the motor could be repair and changed.

Montclair Pool Pump repair deals in the services providing maintenance on pool pumps. Some of the common problems associated with a pool pump are listed below:

  • Leaking pump: A very common problem is the threaded fitting which carries water out of the pump shrinking from heat and allowing water to drip, run and then spray. This can be replaced with a high temp fitting to prevent its reoccurrence. Leaking pump is most common of all the problems associated with pool pumps. Water could also be leaked through the worn out mechanical shaft seal. The pump seal is the separation between the wet end and the dry end which is motor of the pump, and allows the motor shaft to enter the pump, and spin freely without leaking water.
  • Air in pump basket:

The pump is meant to operate air free, to create the necessary vacuum. After some time, you may notice air in the pump basket, especially if you have a clear lid to observe such things. Air in the pump will reduce filtering efficiency and allow dangerous air to build up in filter.

  • Noisy pump motor:

Inside of your pump motor are a front bearing and a rear bearing, attached to the front and rear of the motor shaft, which is attached to the rotor. These bearings are sealed and cannot be re-packed or re-lubricated. They are replaced when they begin to scream and screech.

The pool pump repair s a fussy process as the pump is comprised of several sensitive parts which gets damaged under circumstances. Apart from the problems listed above, there are several other small problems which can only be fixed through a professional hand.
