Many San Tan Valley homes were built in the last twenty years, and a lot of their pools still run the builder's original pump and filter. Hard water scales salt cells and heaters, and desert dust and monsoon storms load filters and pump baskets.
San Tan Valley is a few minutes from our Queen Creek office, so upgrades are easy to schedule, and if your pool is on our weekly service, your technician checks the new equipment every visit.
We look at the age of the equipment, whether parts are still made for it, and what the repair costs next to a replacement. If a repair makes sense, we tell you. You never get pushed into new equipment.
A single-speed pump that is loud, leaking or tripping the breaker.
Filter pressure that climbs right back up after a cleaning, or cartridges that are torn or flattened.
A salt cell that keeps throwing errors or no longer holds chlorine, even after cleaning.
A heater that will not light, or needs repairs every season.
Mechanical timers you have to reset after every power outage.
Text or call. Tell us what is failing or what you want to upgrade. A photo of the equipment pad helps.
Visit and written quote. We check the equipment and plumbing and quote the options side by side. You approve before anything is ordered.
Install. Done by our own technician, not a subcontractor.
Startup and walkthrough. We set schedules and pump speeds, show you how it runs, and post a photo report of the finished work to your portal.

A variable-speed pump is typically $2,500 to $3,500 installed. Sometimes the old pump can be repaired instead, and the technician checks that before quoting a replacement.
Replacement cartridges are typically $400 to $800, and a new filter system is typically $1,800 to $3,000, depending on the filter size and the plumbing.
A salt system is typically $1,800 to $4,000 installed. If you already have salt and only the cell has worn out, a replacement cell is typically $1,800 to $3,000.
A gas heater is typically $5,000 to $6,000 and heats quickly in any weather. A heat pump is typically $8,000 to $9,500, heats more slowly, and costs less to run in mild weather. We quote both so you can compare.
It depends on the age of the equipment, whether parts are still available, and the repair cost next to a replacement. We quote both side by side, and if a repair makes sense, we tell you.
Often, yes, once it starts leaking or getting loud. A variable-speed pump is typically $2,500 to $3,500 installed, runs much more quietly, and can run at low speed for most of the day. If a seal or impeller repair makes more sense, we tell you.
No. Every job is quoted first and approved by you, in writing, before work starts. If the technician finds something else once the work is underway, they stop and ask. That is the rule on every job, large or small.
