Your pool pump runs every single day. Most owners never think about it until it stops working.
Here is what to look for before it becomes a problem:
A change in sound. Rattling or grinding is not normal. A wet patch around the pump housing. Even a small drip needs attention. High filter pressure with the pump running harder than usual. Cloudy water that chemicals are not fixing.
We have just published a guide on pool pump repairs, sizing, and maintenance for Sydney pool owners. Worth a read if your pump is more than five years old or has never been properly checked.
