Local pool repairs for pumps, heaters, filters and spas, from a crew that works on this equipment every week.
Pool repairs around here usually start with a sound or a sign. The pump hums instead of running. The heater won’t fire on the first cold night in January. Or the filter pressure keeps climbing while the water stays cloudy. In Central Florida, equipment runs all year in the heat, sun and afternoon storms, so parts wear out faster than they do up north.
Sunwave Pool Pros is a local pool repair company. We find what failed, tell you straight what it’ll take and get your water moving again. We work on Hayward, Pentair, Jandy and Zodiac equipment, and it’s all part of our full pool service in Central Florida.
Our pool repair service covers four areas. Pick the one that’s acting up, or call us and we’ll track it down.
When the pressure gauge climbs, the water turns cloudy or you spot a drip at the tank, the filter needs a look. We repair cartridge, sand and DE filters, from leaks and pressure problems to broken valves and worn parts. Once it’s fixed, water flows the way it should and your pump doesn’t have to strain.
Nothing ruins a January swim like a heater that won’t fire. We fix ignition failures, temperature problems and heaters that keep shutting themselves off. That covers gas heaters, electric heaters and heat pumps on both pools and spas.
Your pump is the heart of the whole setup. When it leaks, gets loud, sucks air or barely moves water, everything else suffers. We fix leaking pumps, noisy motors, air leaks and low flow on single-speed and variable-speed pumps.
A spa that won’t heat or a jet that quit takes the fun out of it fast. So we troubleshoot and repair spa heaters, pumps, jets, circulation and controls. That goes for spas attached to your pool and for stand-alone hot tubs, too.
We work on pools across Seminole and Orange counties every week, so we see the same problems over and over. Heat, hard water and storm season are rough on equipment here. We’ll tell you straight whether it’s worth fixing, and we won’t push a new pump when a new part will do. We also take electrical work seriously, since the CPSC lists pool pumps and filters among the shock hazards around a pool.
And if a pump quits on a Friday evening, you shouldn’t have to wait until Monday. We pick up day and night, anywhere in our service area.
Repairs are only one part of keeping a pool running down here. For regular cleaning, new equipment or bigger jobs, the same crew can handle it.
Weekly service, filter cleaning, spa cleaning and tile cleaning to keep your water clear all year.
When a repair doesn't make sense anymore, we put in new pumps, heaters, filters and lights sized right for your pool.

Here are the pool repair questions people ask us most, plus a few that come up online all the time. Don’t see yours? Call us at (689) 312-9063.
The cost to fix a pool depends on what broke. Swapping a seal, capacitor or igniter is a small job. A burned-out motor or a cracked heat exchanger costs a lot more, and sometimes replacing the unit makes more sense. That's why we look at your equipment first and give you a clear quote before any work starts. Call (689) 312-9063.
Homeowners insurance sometimes covers swimming pool repairs, but it depends on your policy. Many policies cover sudden damage from a covered event, like lightning or a tree falling on the equipment pad. Normal wear and tear, like a motor that just gave out with age, usually isn't covered. Check your policy or call your agent. We'll tell you what failed and why, which helps when you talk to them.
The most common pool leaks start at the equipment pad. Think a worn pump seal, cracked unions, bad o-rings or a leaking filter tank or valve. In the pool itself, skimmers, return fittings and light niches are the usual spots. Losing more water than the Florida sun can explain? Call us. We'll check the equipment first, since that's where a lot of leaks begin.
Yes, most pool repairs happen without draining. Pump, heater, filter and spa repairs are all done at the equipment pad, so the water stays right where it is. Pros can even patch some small surface spots underwater. Draining is a last resort here, because Central Florida's high water table can push an empty pool up out of the ground.
The most common pool equipment problems are a pump that hums but won't start and air in the pump basket. A heater that won't fire and a filter with high pressure come up a lot, too. Leaks at the pump seal and tripped breakers are right behind them. Most of these start small, so catching them early keeps the fix simple and cheaper.
A fair pool repair price spells out the part, the labor and why it failed. Get it in writing, and ask whether the part is still under the manufacturer's warranty. Then compare the repair to the price of a new unit. On older equipment, a lot of pros figure that if the fix costs around half as much as replacing it, replacing is usually the better deal.
Repair your pool equipment if it's fairly young and the fix is a single part, like a seal, capacitor or igniter. Replace it if it's old, keeps breaking or needs a major part like a motor or heat exchanger. With pumps, an old single-speed is often worth swapping for a variable-speed model, which uses a lot less power. We can walk you through pool equipment installations when that's the better call.
Pool equipment in Florida tends to wear out faster than up north, because it runs all year in heat, sun and storms. With good care, most pumps and heaters last somewhere around 8 to 12 years. Filter cartridges need replacing every couple of years. Keeping the water balanced and the pad clear of debris helps everything last longer.
A pool equipment repair service figures out why your pump, filter, heater or spa isn't working and fixes it. That usually means testing electrical parts, checking pressure and flow, tracking down leaks and replacing worn parts like seals, capacitors and igniters. At Sunwave, we work on Hayward, Pentair, Jandy and Zodiac equipment.
You can fix some pool equipment yourself, like clearing a clogged pump basket, swapping an o-ring or resetting a tripped breaker. Anything electrical or gas is a different story. Pumps and heaters sit right next to water, and the CPSC lists pool pumps and filters among the shock hazards around a pool. For motors, wiring, control boards or gas heaters, call a pro.
