The Heart of Your Pool System

Your pool pump is responsible for circulating all the water through the filtration system. When it fails or underperforms, water stops moving — and stagnant water gets dirty, fast. Algae blooms, chemistry becomes impossible to balance, and your filter can't do its job.

Nautical Pools diagnoses and repairs all residential and commercial pool pumps — both for indoor and outdoor pool systems. We stock parts for the most common makes and models, so most repairs can be done quickly without long delays waiting on parts.

  • Pump loses prime constantly and needs to be restarted
  • Visible water leaking from pump housing or fittings

Repair or replace?

We'll give you an honest assessment. If the cost of repair is more than 60–70% of a new pump's cost, replacement is usually smarter. We'll walk you through the numbers so you can make the right call.

Frequently Asked Questions

For most common repairs, we can complete the job within 1–2 business days. If parts need to be ordered, we'll give you a clear timeline upfront. We understand every day without a working pump costs you.

Yes. We service all major brands including Hayward, Pentair, Jandy, Waterway, and others. If you're not sure what brand your pump is, we'll identify it when we arrive.

Almost always yes. Variable speed pumps can reduce energy consumption by up to 90% compared to single-speed models, and they typically pay for themselves within 1–2 seasons. Many utility providers also offer rebates for the upgrade.

Not necessarily. A pump that won't start could be an electrical issue, a tripped breaker, a failed capacitor, or a seized impeller. We run a full diagnostic before recommending any specific repair.
