Pool pump installation & repairs in Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth)
The pool pump is the heart of the circulation system. Pool Crew installs, replaces, diagnoses and repairs swimming pool pumps across Gqeberha and Port Elizabeth, with sizing matched to the pool, filter and plumbing rather than guesswork.
Correctly sized pumps, professional installs and practical repairs
What pool pump installation & repairs actually involves
A pump does not have to be completely dead to be costing you money. Noisy bearings, a leaking shaft seal, poor priming, air in the suction line or reduced flow can all show up before total failure. We inspect the whole circulation path so we can separate a pump fault from a blocked line, a dirty basket or a filter restriction.
When replacement is the sensible option, correct sizing matters. The pump, filter, pipework and pool volume have to work as a system. An oversized pump is not automatically better, and a mismatched pump can create noise, higher energy use or filtration problems. We size and commission the replacement for the actual pool.
If the pump keeps losing prime or the water level is falling, the fault may be elsewhere. Our pool leak detection service can investigate abnormal water loss, while our scheduled pool servicing helps catch small equipment faults before they become emergency replacements.

Questions
Pool Pump Installation & Repairs, answered
Can a pool pump be repaired instead of replaced?
Often, yes. Seals, lids, baskets, impellers, capacitors and other components can be repairable. If the motor or wet end is badly damaged, we will compare the repair cost with a properly sized replacement.
How do I know what size pool pump I need?
Pump selection depends on pool volume, required flow, filter capacity, pipework and any equipment such as chlorinators or heating. We size the system rather than choosing by motor power alone.
Do you install the pump as well as supply it?
Yes. We can supply, install, prime, commission and test the pump, and check that the filter and circulation are compatible.
