Landscaping is an external source of contamination to a swimming pool equipment pad as it brings with it moisture, debris and critters which can compromise any portion of the circulation system. Always trim back trees and shrubbery to minimize the buildup of leaves. Dead leaves and diatomaceous earth can collect around the motor causing a sponge-like effect for water to stay in contact with the motor casing. This will accelerate corrosion. Check for proper drainage on the concrete slab and see if it is clogged. Water can pool during heavy rains and submerse a portion of the pump causing failure. Whether you reside in La Canada, Montrose or Porter Ranch, pool pump repair is accomplished each week by our team due to these and other debilitating issues. A way to minimize DE from building up on the ground is to first remove most of it from the filter panels before washing them down. Simply wheel a trash can near the filter and put the grids in it and shake them off. This will deposit most of the material in the container rather than washing it off on the concrete and leaving a mess that can obstructs drains. For this and other repair needs - we're here for you.
