Step by step
How it works
- Diagnose
Noise, leaks or a pump that will not start – we find out whether the motor, the seal or the capacitor is the cause.
- Repair or replace
We repair the pump when it makes sense; when it does not, we fit a variable-speed pump sized for your pool.
- Install
The pump is plumbed and wired and any leaks at the pump are fixed.
- Program
Speeds and run times are set for your pool, so the pump uses as little electricity as it can.
Why variable-speed
A single-speed pump runs flat out every minute it is on. A variable-speed pump can run slower for longer – which filters better and uses a fraction of the power. Many pool owners see the difference on the first summer power bill. Variable-speed pumps also run quieter and tend to last longer.
Keep the basket clean
Every drop of water passes through the pump. A clogged strainer basket starves it of water and wears out the seal. Depending on the season, check it weekly – more often in fall, when leaves come down.

What customers say
Dan J. came out on a Monday to check our clicking pump. By afternoon on Wednesday, everything was installed. As he was cleaning up, I asked if he could replace another part. Without hesitation, he checked to see if he had the part on the van & installed it.
Our pump went out on Saturday evening. I called Elite Pool and my call was returned immediately. Dan came on Sunday morning and by Tuesday we had a new pump installed and pool was up and running. Dan explained everything to us about our equipment. I cannot say enough good things about Elite Pool and their service.
We hired Elite Pools to install a new pump for us last week. Dan was the one who came out and he particularly did a great job with communication before, during, and after his visit! This was my first time using Elite and I will give them a call next time I need anything else with my pool. Thanks again!
How long do pool pumps last?
Usually 8–12 years. Motors and seals can often be replaced before the whole pump needs to go.
Is a variable-speed pump worth it?
In most Birmingham pools, yes – the power savings usually pay it back over a few seasons.
