Do you repair pool pumps in Fullerton?

Pool Pumps in Fullerton
Fullerton has the oldest pools on our list. Sunny Hills, Raymond Hills and the tracts around them built out from the fifties through the seventies, and a great many of those pools are still circulating through their original plumbing with a modern pump bolted onto the front of it.
That combination is the most common thing we find in this city, and it is worth being blunt about: a new variable-speed pump cannot deliver its rated flow through undersized forty-year-old lines. The pump is not the bottleneck, the pipe is. More than once the honest answer has been that re-piping the pad costs less than the bigger pump somebody was about to buy, and works better afterwards. We would rather say that at the estimate than after the invoice.
What we usually find on a Fullerton pump call
What you are seeing
- A recently fitted pump that never performed the way it was sold
- Weak return flow with a clean filter and a clean basket — a plumbing symptom, not a pump one
- Leaks at the unions and pad plumbing rather than at the pump itself
- Bearing noise, or a motor running hot enough to shut itself down on thermal overload
- Breaker trips, or a pump that hums but will not turn over
- Air in the basket that you keep chasing and never quite eliminate
What we install and repair
We install Jandy FloPro and Pentair SuperFlo VS and IntelliFlo VSF variable-speed pumps. On an older Fullerton pool we look at what the pump is being asked to pull through before recommending a size, because on this housing stock the plumbing is very often the thing that needs the work.
- Jandy FloPro and Pentair SuperFlo VS / IntelliFlo VSF variable-speed pumps
- Equipment-pad re-piping — frequently the fix that actually restores flow here
- Skimmer and suction-line repairs on original 1950s to 1970s plumbing
- Seal, impeller and motor repairs where the pump is worth keeping
About pump work
“Our spa pump froze up and needed to be replaced, so I called Ace again. They came out with a new pump the very next day. They also kept me informed of when the technician would be arriving, even providing a map showing where he was.”
“They took care of my problematic pump better than I could have hoped for, up and running within couple of hours.”
