Is your Brisbane pool pump giving you trouble? As leading pool maintenance experts serving Brisbane CBD and surrounding areas, we regularly encounter these common pool pump issues. Here's your comprehensive guide to identifying and solving the most frequent problems.

1. Unusual Noises from Your Pool Pump

If your pump is making grinding, screeching, or humming sounds, it could indicate:

  • Failing bearings
  • Debris in the impeller
  • Motor problems
  • Cavitation issues

Quick action is essential to prevent costly repairs. Our pool pump repair service can diagnose and fix these issues before they escalate.

2. Pump Not Priming Properly

A common issue in New Farm and surrounding suburbs is pumps failing to prime. This usually results from:

  • Air leaks in the system
  • Low water levels
  • Clogged skimmer baskets
  • Blocked impellers

3. Reduced Water Flow

Poor water circulation can lead to algae growth and cloudy water. This might be caused by:

  • Clogged filters
  • Blocked pipes
  • Worn impellers
  • Undersized pumping system

Brisbane's hot climate can exacerbate overheating issues. Common causes include:

  • Poor ventilation

Electrical issues are common in areas like Teneriffe. Check for:
