Pool Pump
Repair & Installation
Your pool pump is the heart of your pool system. When it fails, nothing else works — the water doesn't circulate, chemicals don't distribute, and the filter stops doing its job.
Legendary Pools provides pool pump repair and installation throughout San Martin and the Bay Area, diagnosing and fixing pump problems fast with parts stocked on every service truck. We also upgrade systems to Variable Speed Pumps — the single most impactful equipment upgrade for Bay Area homeowners.
Common Pump Problems We Repair
Identify the symptoms before things go green
| Symptom | Probable Cause |
|---|---|
| Grinding/Screeching noise | Worn bearings — motor needs rebuild or replacement |
| Pump hums but doesn't start | Capacitor failure or seized impeller |
| Pump loses prime / pulls air | Air leak in suction line, lid o-ring, or valve |
| Runs but low water flow | Clogged impeller, closed valve, or dirty filter |
| Pump trips the breaker | Electrical fault, overheating, or failing motor winding |
| Leaking from shaft seal | Mechanical shaft seal worn — common after 3-5 years |
| Error codes on VS display | Control board, flow sensor, or programming issue |
| Runs constantly / won't shut off | Timer/automation programming or pressure switch fault |
The Smart Investment:
Variable Speed
California's Title 20 regulations now require variable speed pumps on all pool systems. Why? Because a VS pump runs at lower RPMs for routine tasks, using up to 90% less energy than a single-speed pump.
