Restore Your Pool's Working Performance

Freytag Irrigation & Pool Service repairs pool equipment and mechanical systems for homeowners.

Your pool pump shuts off midcycle, or the filter pressure gauge stays stuck in the red even after backwashing. These are signs that something inside your pool's mechanical system needs attention. Freytag Irrigation & Pool Service diagnoses and repairs pumps, filters, motors, valves, and other essential pool equipment for homeowners, helping you restore circulation and filtration without replacing the entire system.

Pool equipment breaks down for many reasons. Heat stress during long Texas summers wears out motor bearings and seals. Aging components lose efficiency over time. Poor water chemistry corrodes valve housings and impeller blades. When your system stops working the way it should, you lose water clarity, chemical balance becomes harder to maintain, and your pool can turn cloudy or green within days. The repair process starts with testing each piece of equipment to identify which part is failing and why.

If your pool equipment is showing signs of trouble, reach out to discuss what you're noticing and schedule a diagnostic visit.

Repairs Target the Component Causing the Problem

Freytag Irrigation & Pool Service begins by inspecting your system and running tests on pumps, motors, filters, and control valves to locate the source of the issue. You'll know within the same visit what part has failed, what caused the breakdown, and what needs to be done to get your pool running again. Most repairs involve replacing worn motors that no longer hold speed under load.

Once the faulty component is repaired or replaced, your pool will circulate water at the correct flow rate again. The filter will pull debris out of the water instead of letting it recirculate. Pressure will stabilize, and your system will run quieter and cooler than it did before the breakdown. Proper circulation also makes it easier to balance your chemicals and keeps algae from taking hold between cleanings.

Repair work is done on-site whenever possible using parts that match your system's brand and capacity. If a component is discontinued or unavailable, you'll receive a recommendation for a compatible replacement that integrates with your existing setup. Scheduling repairs early helps you avoid secondary damage to other parts of the system and keeps smaller issues from turning into full equipment failures.

Homeowners often have similar concerns before scheduling pool equipment repairs, especially when they're unsure whether a system can be fixed or needs full replacement.

Questions Homeowners Ask Before Booking Repairs

What causes pool equipment to fail?
Heat, vibration, water chemistry, and age all contribute to wear on pumps, motors, seals, and valves. Running a system with clogged filters or low water levels also accelerates damage.
How long does a typical repair take?
Most repairs are completed the same day. Seal replacements and valve work usually take one to two hours, while motor swaps or filter housing repairs may take longer depending on access and complexity.
When should I repair versus replace pool equipment?
You should repair when a single component fails but the rest of the system still functions well. Replacement makes more sense when multiple parts are worn out or when repair costs approach the price of a new unit.
Why does my pool lose pressure after the pump runs for a while?
Pressure loss during operation usually indicates a failing pump seal, a clogged impeller, or a valve that isn't holding position. Testing under load helps pinpoint which component is causing the drop.
What happens if I delay repairs?
Delaying repairs allows minor issues to escalate. A leaking seal can damage a motor. A failing valve can cause uneven flow that strains the pump. Addressing problems early limits the scope and cost of the work.
