Pool Pump Problems in Katy, TX
A pool pump moves water through your pool's filtration system. When it stops circulating, makes unusual noises, or repeatedly loses prime, identifying the symptom can help a technician diagnose the issue.

Request a Provider Connection →Pump will not turn on
Check whether the equipment timer or control panel is set correctly. A tripped breaker, failed capacitor, motor fault, or wiring issue can also prevent startup. Do not open electrical panels or attempt electrical repairs.
Pump runs but water does not circulate
A low pool water level, clogged skimmer basket, blocked pump basket, closed valve, or air entering the suction line can reduce flow. If the pump runs dry, shut it off to avoid damage.
Pump is noisy or leaking
Grinding, screeching, or persistent dripping near the pump may indicate worn bearings, seals, or plumbing fittings. Switch off equipment if you notice water near electrical connections.
Repair or replacement?
A provider may compare the pump’s age, motor condition, availability of replacement parts, efficiency, and estimated labor before suggesting a repair or replacement. Ask for the options in writing.
What to note before calling
Capture the pump brand and model, whether it primes, any noise or leak, and whether the breaker trips. These observations help the provider prepare.
