The pool pump is the heart of your swimming pool system-it powers circulation, drives filtration, and ensures consistent sanitisation. When your pump fails or underperforms, everything else begins to suffer: cloudy water, stagnant flow, and wasted energy. At The One Pool Care, we specialise in expert pool pump repairs in Melbourne, helping you maintain clean, healthy, and energy-efficient water year-round.
Whether you’ve noticed strange noises, leaks, poor suction, or sudden shutdowns, our qualified technicians are equipped to diagnose and fix the problem. We service all major brands and pump types across residential, commercial, and body corporate pools.
Loud grinding or humming noises
Visible water leaking around the pump housing or unions
Reduced water flow or circulation
Pump turning on and off erratically (cycling)
Breaker tripping or pump refusing to start
Air bubbles returning through the jets
Overheating motor casing
High energy bills despite normal usage
We begin by examining the full pump system: impeller, motor, seals, strainer basket, wiring, and control systems. We also assess connected components like your filter, chlorinator, and return lines to ensure optimal flow and pressure. In many cases, poor performance is caused by a hidden restriction or electrical imbalance-not the pump itself.
You’ll receive a detailed breakdown of the problem-explained in plain English. We’ll outline what needs to be repaired or replaced, the cost involved, and any risks of further delay. No technical jargon. No pushy upselling. Just honest, transparent advice.
From replacing seals and bearings to rewiring motors or replacing worn impellers, we use only high-grade components that match your pump’s brand and model. We service both single-speed and variable-speed pumps, restoring full functionality without compromising efficiency.
Once the repair is complete, we run the pump under real conditions. We check flow rates, pressure, motor temperature, and noise levels-ensuring everything runs smoothly and efficiently. If needed, we recalibrate automation settings or make plumbing adjustments for better performance.
Before leaving, we provide practical tips to help you avoid future issues-like strainer basket cleaning schedules, priming best practices, and when to book your next pool equipment maintenance. If your pump is nearing the end of its lifespan, we’ll also advise on affordable, energy-efficient pump replacement options.
Traditional and widely used, these pumps often fail due to age, overheating, or scale build-up. We repair motor faults, leaking seals, and flow issues while also offering retrofit options for more efficient alternatives.
Modern variable-speed pumps can reduce running costs significantly, but they’re also more complex. We diagnose controller faults, motor inefficiencies, and calibration issues to restore full automation compatibility.
Used in spas or for pressure-side cleaners, booster pumps often suffer from worn-out impellers or cavitation damage. We repair, reseal, and test for correct pressure restoration.
We repair larger systems in schools, gyms, public pools, and resorts-including multi-pump setups, automatic priming systems, and centralised plant room configurations.
Our technicians are certified, insured, and trained in all major pump brands and models. You can trust our work to meet safety and performance standards.
We understand that a failed pump can’t wait. That’s why we offer same-day response for urgent repairs and weekend availability when needed.
Unlike some pool techs, we look beyond the pump. We assess how it interacts with your filter, heater, chlorinator, and plumbing-to ensure balanced operation.
We don’t believe in scare tactics or upselling. If your pump can be saved, we’ll fix it. If it’s time to upgrade, we’ll help you choose the right system at the best value.
We know local conditions, council requirements, and seasonal performance needs-so we offer smart, relevant solutions every time.
