Why we work this way

The South Florida pool industry is full of route guys pretending to be electricians and pool guys pretending to be contractors. Result: half-done work, voided warranties, and homeowners holding the bag when it fails again 90 days later.

We diagnose it. Our techs watch your equipment, chemistry log, and early-warning signals every visit. We manage the fix under our CPC license — pumps, heaters, salt systems, plumbing, equipment wiring, plaster, and automation. One point of accountability. Manufacturer warranties intact. Permits pulled in our own name where required. Nothing gets done by someone unqualified.

Every trade on the equipment pad, one accountable contractor

Pool work splits into trades, each with its own warranty rules and failure modes. We manage all of them under our state Certified Pool/Spa Contractor license, bringing in trusted specialists where a job calls for it.

Pumps & Motors
Variable-speed and single-speed pump replacement, motor service, mechanical seal rebuilds, impeller swaps, mount repair. Pentair IntelliFlo, Hayward TriStar / MaxFlo, Jandy ePump, Sta-Rite.
Heaters
Heat-pump diagnosis and repair, gas heater service, heat-exchanger rebuilds, ignition systems, control boards. Raypak, AquaCal, Pentair MasterTemp, Hayward H-Series. Refrigerant work requires EPA 608 certification; gas-line upsizing goes to a licensed gas contractor.
Salt Systems
Salt cell replacement and right-sizing, control-board diagnosis, electrolytic plate rebuilds, sacrificial-anode systems, salinity calibration. Pentair IntelliChlor, Hayward AquaRite, Jandy AquaPure.
Plumbing & Leak Detection
Suction-side and pressure-side leak detection, valve rebuilds, union and seal replacement, skimmer-line repair, main-drain work. Specialty acoustic and dye-test methods for hidden leaks.
Pool Lights & Equipment Wiring
Pool light replacement, transformer replacement, bonding and grounding checks, and equipment hookups on existing circuits. New circuits and panel upgrades need a Florida-licensed electrician — we bring one in for that piece.
Filters
Cartridge replacement, DE grid rebuilds, sand-bed replacement, manifold and lateral repair, filter-tank crack inspection, full filter swap-outs.
Automation
Pentair ScreenLogic, Hayward OmniLogic, Jandy iAquaLink — system setup, app pairing, sensor calibration, freeze-protect logic, schedule audits, firmware updates.
Plaster, Tile, & Coping
Re-plaster (Diamond Brite, pebble, quartz, white plaster), tile replacement and bead-blast cleaning, coping repair, acid wash, structural concrete repair. Managed under our CPC license.

How a repair actually goes, start to finish

  1. 1
    Diagnosis on-site (us)
    We come out — included in your weekly service if you're a client, $150 diagnostic fee for non-clients (applied toward the repair if you proceed). We document the problem with photos, run any tests required, and pin down exactly what needs fixing.
  2. 2
    Written quote (us)
    You receive a written, itemized quote with parts, labor, timeline, and our CPC license number. Manufacturer warranty implications are flagged up front. No verbal agreements, no surprise add-ons.
  3. 3
    You approve in writing
    Nothing is ordered, scheduled, or started until you approve in writing. You can decline, get a second opinion, or wait — no pressure.
  4. 4
    We manage the work
    We install the part, perform the rebuild, or complete the repair under our CPC license, bringing in a trusted specialist when the job calls for it. Permits pulled in our name where required.
  5. 5
    Verification + warranty registration (us)
    We come back, verify the repair is correct, register manufacturer warranties on your behalf, and resume your weekly service. The repair becomes part of your service log so we know what was changed and when.

Diagnosis on the equipment pad

We diagnose on-site and document the failure with photos before a written quote ever goes out. Then our own state-certified pool contractor crew does the repair.

Want to troubleshoot it yourself first?

Our complete pool troubleshooting library covers green water, algae, leak detection, heater error codes, and pump problems — written by our techs. If it's past DIY, that's when we step in. Want a number for your pool? Run yours through our pool service cost calculator.

By problem type: pool losing water — leak vs. evaporation (the 24-hour bucket test), algae types decoded (green, mustard, black, pink), and cloudy water — 7 causes. Deep technical references: pool leak detection, green algae, and mustard yellow algae.

What “no corners cut” means in practice

State-certified pool contractor on every job
Our CPC license number is on every invoice. Verifiable in the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation database. No exceptions.
Manufacturer warranties stay intact
Pentair, Hayward, Jandy, Raypak warranties have rules about who installs the equipment. Licensed installation and warranty registration keep your warranty from being voided.
Written quotes before any work
Nothing is started until you approve in writing. No verbal estimates, no surprise add-ons, no “while we were in there” charges.
Permits pulled where required
Heater swaps, panel upgrades, structural plaster, and certain plumbing repairs require Florida permits. Permits get pulled. No permit-skipping cost-cutting.
We verify the repair
After the repair, we confirm it is working correctly before we resume normal service. If something is off, we fix it on our dime — there is no one else to point at.
Honest about the carve-outs
New electrical circuits need a licensed electrician and gas-line upsizing needs a licensed gas contractor. When a job includes one of those pieces, we bring in that licensed trade and tell you up front.
