We find the fault before anything is replaced, and you get the readings that pointed to it.
Signs you need it
Something is drawing more than it should.
Bearings, cavitation and air leaks sound different.
A closed valve, a clogged impeller or lost prime.
How we do it
Amp draw against the plate, suction and discharge pressure against the design, and the actual voltage at the panel. A motor pulling within spec on a system with a blocked impeller isn’t a failed motor, and swapping it won’t fix the pool.
A pump that won’t hold prime is usually an air leak on the suction side: a lid o-ring, a drain plug, a cracked union, a few dollars. It’s sold as a pump replacement more often than any other pool part. We pressure-test the suction line before we quote a motor.
The readings go on the estimate next to what they should have been. If we recommend a part, you can see the number that made us.
Step by step
At the equipment and the panel.
Suction and discharge.
What the label says it should do, not a hunch.
Readings attached to the estimate.
What it costs
No surprise lines. Every job is quoted in writing, and nothing is done until you reply.
In writing, with the reading or the pressure that made us recommend it. Approve all of it, some of it, or none of it.
If everything tests fine, you’ll hear that too, in writing.
Reviews
Two other companies quoted me a new variable-speed pump. Sandhill found an air leak at the lid o-ring and fixed it that afternoon for the price of the part and the visit. I won't use anyone else.
Heater kept shutting off. It was the filter, not the heater. They cleaned it, showed us the pressure before and after, and the heater has run all winter since.
Straight answers
A pump that won’t hold prime. It’s usually an air leak on the suction side, which costs a few dollars, and it’s sold as a new pump more often than any other part.
You’re told the price before we start, and whether it comes off the repair if you go ahead. Never after.
Yes, in writing, with the readings that show it.
Tell us what it is doing. If it can wait, we’ll say so, and if it can’t, we’ll say that too.

Say the pool has gone green and it asks how long for. Days is chemistry. Weeks can mean the stabiliser is high and it needs a partial drain rather than more chemicals.
