How much is a new pump?
The options are plenty so a evaluation of your pool is needed. This can be done by sending us pictures and answering a few questions so we can offer you the correct pump for your pools application. Pricing ranges from $500 to $2000.
how soon can you fix my pump?
Usually the same day or the next day. If you need a package with a new automation/ control system, a filter, or multiple pumps then the job will need to be scheduled for a full days opening.
why do i need a variable speed pump?
It's the law now in California and other states and will soon be nationwide. Old single speed pumps are energy hogs and very inefficient. They actually waste much of the power they consume. If your main filter pump goes out now, then the replacements are variable speed now which means they run from 600rpm to 3450rpm. 
Old pumps use on average 2800 watts while running, that's 46  60 watt light bulbs on in your house! Variable speeds use 150 watts on low speed or 2 light bulbs on. Amazingly better. 
Do you install internet pumps?
Yes we do, here is how that works. The pump must be ready for install at the time of the install. If the pump is damaged from shipping or is the incorrect pump for the pools application, the full installation cost is still due. You will then be responsible for the warranty or return of the pump and an additional install fee will be applied for the second attempt.
Its really not worth the hassles, and the lack of warranty you get for a internet pump. For instance Pentair offers 60 day warranties on internet pumps (old model as well), but the newest model available to us has a 3 year no hassle warranty from Pentair. A pool pump is just not something you should be buying online. Half the time, the wrong pump was ordered as well. Get the free consultation and get the right pump with a great warranty from us.
What is the best brand out there?
All 4 brands we deal with are amazing pumps. Variable speeds have come a long way now and most are on their 3rd generation. Pentair, Hayward, Jandy, and Waterway are all awesome.  Here is very important information you should know though... Pentair, Jandy, and Waterway all use Century motors. They make their own plastic pump section but the motors which is what goes out on a pump 90% of the time are the same. Hayward uses U.S Motor company which is equally a awesome motor.  So when someone says Pentair is better than Jandy or so forth, I chuckle because its essentially the same pump.
How does the rebate work?
If you are on SMUD power, good news is they are still offering $250 rebates for qualifying variable speed pumps. Here's how it works... We install your new variable speed pump, then accept your payment and mark the invoice as paid. We then email you the paid invoice with the make and model of the new pump. This is all done in your backyard before we leave the jobsite. Then you can go to SMUD's website and use the "apply for rebate online" button. Enter the info, attach the pdf of your reciept and that's it. In a weeks time or two you will receive the $250 check in the mail from SMUD. If you prefer, you can also snail mail your rebate request with the receipt too.
Can you repair my existing pump?
Yes, if its a water feature pump, a booster pump, or a pump that is not used for filtration, then the motor can be changed out with a standard OEM single speed pump legally. Contact us for a free quote.
If it is your main filtration pump, we can fix it too! We can remove the old motor and upgrade it to the same variable speed motors on new pumps usually for half the cost of an entire new pump. This is also a legal repair. You benefit from the same energy savings, quiet operation, and warranties as the new pumps offer. Not all pumps can be repaired, some models are not good candidates, but send us pics and we'll let you know.
What do you think of other brands like jacuzzi pumps?
There are other brands that come from china that I don't bother with. If a warranty issue came up, ugh what a hassle. How about Jacuzzi pumps at the local store? I actually worked for that company for 1 month and quit because I refused to continue selling the Jacuzzi brand. I spent half of my workday doing warranty repairs on pumps that were only a few months old. But what about that 5 year warranty? Haa, that reminds me of Kragen Auto Parts and their "lifetime warranties" on starters and alternators. I used their starters on 2 cars in my younger days and I had to exchange them every couple of months for warranty and a new one. They were junk. So if you don't mind calling the store back every few months for warranty then I guess its okay.
