Common Pool Issues

Pools in Las Vegas, Henderson, Summerlin, Silverado Ranch and the rest of the greater Las Vegas Area suffer from a water supply that is very hard, meaning that it has a very high level of calcium. This hard water takes a toll on the pool’s equipment and can lead to costly repairs. Of course this process can be slowed down considerably by proper weekly pool maintenance and monitoring of the chemical levels. Some of the most common issues that we deal with are listed below.

Leaking Pool Filter

Whenever there is leaking water around your pool’s pump and filter, it is an issue that should be taken care of immediately. Besides from running up your water bill, and wasting water (a very precious resource in our area) the leaking water can damage pool equipment and plumbing. Although this is a pressing issue, it is often an quick fix and is due to a broken seal or missing O-ring, whatever the case, we will diagnose the issue and take the problem off of your plate

Clogged or Broken Pump Impeller

During the Autumn months or one of the frequent summer wind storms that we experience in Clark County, one of the most common issues are pumps not properly functioning and the reason for this is usually debris clogging the pump impeller. The job of the filter basket is to catch large debris before passing through the impeller, however smaller debris can sometimes pass through and clog the impeller, restricting the pump from working efficiently.
A few signs that your pump impeller may be clogged is if you have little to no filter pressure, and loud noises while your pump is running. Fortunately for you, our team can unclog your pump in 1 short visit and get your pool back to prime condition.

Water not circulating properly

Pool water needs to circulate for two main reasons. Number one, just as a stirring spoon mixes ingredients together in a pot, circulating pool water makes sure that the chemicals evenly distribute through the entirety of the pool water. This prevents the growth of bacteria and algae, and makes for a better swimming environment for you and your loved ones. The second reason is that the process of circulation in a swimming pool involves the water getting pulled through skimmers and filters to remove debris and then being pumped back into the pool through the pool’s returns.
There are a number of different reasons why a pool’s water is not properly circulating, and if you believe this is the case, you should schedule a free inspection with Las Vegas Pool Bros to diagnose and fix the issue.

Clogged Pool Cleaner

It is becoming more and more common for homeowners to have automated pool cleaning systems in place, such as robotic cleaners and suction powered pool vacuums. The automated cleaners are a very valuable cleaning technology, that we highly recommend to our customers (and often install for them as well). With that being said, the machinery is not immune to defects and can often times clog with debris.
If you find that your cleaner is no longer crawling along the bottom of your pool, it may be clogged. This is a pretty easy fix, and Las Vegas Pool Bros will not only unclog the machine, but give a thorough cleaning to make sure nothing Is obstructing the machine.
