Pool equipment and repair in the Las Vegas valley

Equipment and repair requests we can pass along

• Pump or motor problems, unusual noise, or a pump that will not prime.
• Filter cleaning or replacement. SNWA suggests washing cartridge filters when operating pressure rises by about 10 psi.
• Heater, heat pump or automation issues.
• Possible leaks. Try SNWA's bucket test first to compare water loss against normal evaporation.
• Lights, valves and other equipment-pad work.

Good to know

• Some equipment work can need its own permit. Clark County, for example, notes separate electrical permits and possible gas line permits for pools.
• Professionals often recommend about 78°F as a pool temperature. Warmer water evaporates faster, according to SNWA and the Las Vegas Valley Water District.
• Check any contractor's license with the Nevada State Contractors Board.
