We were losing an inch a day. They ran a bucket test first, then pressure-tested each line and found a cracked return under the deck, marked it and showed me the gauge. Nobody touched the deck until we knew.

Pool plumbing and valve repair in Winter Park
Most valve problems are an o-ring or an actuator, not new plumbing.
Signs you need it
When to call about plumbing & valves
A valve won’t turn
Usually a seal and a spring.
Drips at the pad
A union o-ring, most of the time.
The app says it moved; it didn’t
The actuator, not the valve.

How we do it
The honest version of plumbing & valves
Rebuild kits exist for a reason
A diverter valve that won’t turn, or that leaks past, is a seal and a spring. The body is fine. Replacing the whole valve means cutting pipe, and cutting pipe means the next repair is harder.
Actuators and automation
A valve that no longer moves on its own is usually the actuator, not the valve. They come apart, and the failure is visible.
When we do cut
Old, brittle or sun-baked PVC gets replaced properly with unions added, so the next repair on that pad doesn’t need a saw.

What customers say about our plumbing & valves
Honest about the salt cell. It had one more acid wash in it, so that is what they did. When it did need replacing a year later, the quote came in writing first.
Straight answers
Plumbing & valves: questions
Do I need to replace the valve?
Usually not. Most leaking or stuck diverters take a rebuild kit: a seal and a spring.
Why add unions?
So the next repair on that pad unscrews instead of needing a saw and new pipe.
Can you replace sun-damaged PVC?
Yes. Brittle, chalky pipe above ground is replaced properly, with unions added.
