Pump & Heater Diagnostics in Utah

Expert diagnosis of pool and spa pump and heater issues: fast, honest troubleshooting before any repair.

Starting at $120/hr

Final price depends on pool size and location.

A pool heater that won't warm the water is usually a bad ignitor, a thermostat issue, a clogged heat exchanger, or low gas pressure. On a hot tub it's more often a scaled or burnt-out heating element, a flow or pressure switch, or a tripped high-limit. A pump that's grinding, leaking, or losing prime needs diagnosis before it needs a part either way. We test each component systematically instead of guessing, tell you what's wrong in plain English, and give you honest options for repair or replacement.

Common Questions

How do I know if my pump needs repair?

Common signs include loud grinding or screeching, visible leaks, loss of prime (pump runs but water doesn't flow), or the pump tripping your breaker. We'll diagnose the exact cause.

Why isn't my pool or hot tub heater warming the water?

On a pool heater, usually a bad ignitor, thermostat issue, clogged heat exchanger, or low gas pressure. On a hot tub, usually a scaled or failed heating element, a flow or pressure switch, or a tripped high-limit. We test each component systematically to find the root cause.

Do you service both gas and electric heaters?

Yes. We diagnose and service natural gas heaters, propane heaters, electric heat pumps, and electric resistance heaters.
