Problems That Arise From Faulty Swimming Pool Pump

 Pumps are important to a pool's good operation and the right swimming pool pump can make a pool seem like it was custom built for you. It keeps the water clean and crystal clear, filters out excess impurities, circulates the water and ensures that the water is warm and thermally comfortable. They control water chemistry and balance the pH levels and make it easy to refill the pool after it has been used for recreation or on hot days. A faulty or malfunctioning pump can have serious consequences for everyone in the household who spends time in the pool 

Pool pumps need to be maintained and regularly by a renowned pump and pipe repairing service provider in UAE so that they do not fail when it is most inconvenient. There are various problems that arise from a faulty pool pump and some might occur very often while others are more rare. The following are common problems that arise from a faulty swimming pool pump.

Too hot or too cold water

The most common problem with swimming pool pumps is that they get too hot or too cold. This can cause damage to electrical components inside the motor, which leads to poor performance or even permanent damage to the motor itself. It can also cause other problems such as short circuits or fires if you don't address it quickly enough. There are several things you should do when dealing with a faulty swimming pool pump:

●       Turn off power at the breaker box or circuit breaker panel (if applicable).

●       Turn off the power switch on the pump itself (if applicable).

●       Remove any debris that may have accumulated around the outside of the pump — especially any leaves or twigs that may be blocking air flow into its cooling fan(s).

Clogged skimmer baskets

The skimmer basket can accumulate leaves and other debris while moving water through the pool. As it fills with debris, it can cause the pump to overheat and malfunction. To solve this problem, remove the basket and clean it thoroughly before replacing it in the pump.

Pressure drop

It can be due to the pool pump or filter system not being able to handle the amount of water in your pool. This can happen if you have added too much water or if you have an undersized pump that cannot push enough water through the filter.

Suppose your pressure gauge reads below 30 psi, you may need a larger pump or one with more horsepower. But when this is not an option, you may need to backwash your filter more frequently or clean it more often.

Leaking pump

The seal between the motor casing and the bearing housing can break down over time, causing oil to leak out of the pump and make its way into your pool water. The easiest way to check for this type of leak is by putting a few drops of oil into the pump’s shaft seal area. Any signs of oil residue on the surface of your pool water shows you have a problem with your pump.

To fix this issue, a pump and pipe repairing service provider in UAE will need to purchase a new bearing housing gasket kit that includes all the necessary parts to repair the leaky seal between the motor casing and the bearing housing.

Potential health issues such as skin rashes and eye irritation

Whenever your swimming pool pump is not working properly, there are higher chances that it could lead to various health issues. For example, the presence of any particles in the water of the pool or if there is some sort of chlorine leak, then it might lead to skin rashes and eye irritation. The chlorine levels will be too high in these cases which would cause this reaction.

The pH level is what determines whether or not your water is acidic or alkaline. If it’s too acidic, then you may notice that your skin feels dry and itchy when you get out of the water. If it’s too alkaline, then your skin could feel tight after swimming. The chlorine level affects how clean your pool is and how well it cleans itself. If there isn’t enough of this chemical in the water, then bacteria might start growing in your pool — this could potentially cause an infection if you come into contact with it by swimming in the pool without showering first.

A faulty pool pump can cause the water chemistry in a pool to become imbalanced, which can lead to algae growth and other issues. This is because a faulty pump will not be able to circulate the water as well as it should, which means that the chlorine levels will drop and the pH level may become too high or too low.

To avoid this problem altogether, it is better that you hire an expert in professional plumbing works in UAE who can come over and ensure that all of your pool equipment is working correctly in order to prevent any kind of health issues from occurring due to faulty pool pump equipment.

Faulty Motor

A common problem that may be due to dirt and debris accumulating inside it, causing it to overheat and burn out prematurely. To fix this problem, open up the casing and clean out any dirt or debris that might be causing the motor to overheat. You can also replace worn out parts like bearings or brushes if necessary but make sure that these are compatible with your old motor before purchasing.

Rather, hire a pump and pipe repairing service provider in UAE to select the motor because different types of motors use different types of bearings and brushes so if you buy one that doesn't fit then it will just sit there until you figure out what went wrong.

Decreased water quality and bad smell

The minute you notice that the water in your pool is cloudy or smells bad, know that it could be due to a faulty swimming pool pump. The first step to solving this problem is to check your filter and make sure it is clean. If it is not, then you need to clean it. If this does not solve the problem, then you will need to check your pool pump.

Damage to the pool liner and walls, and deck

Pumps can also cause damage by sucking up rocks and other debris that can clog the filter or wear down the impeller. This is especially true if you have a sand filter. On noticing a fault with your pump, source a villa related service provider in UAE to check up what’s wrong with it for it may suck up rocks or other objects that should not be in the pool water. This can potentially cause damage to your pool liner and walls, as well as your decking. Thus destroying the look of your villa pool surroundings.

Noisy pumps

A noisy swimming pool pump can be affected by a number of factors. One of which is the fact that some pumps are just louder than others, but there are also other reasons why your pump may be making an excessive amount of noise.

When facing this problem, there are several things you can do to try and fix it:

- Check that all connections between hoses and pipes are secure.

- Replace damaged gaskets or O-rings on any connections between hoses and pipes.

- If the motor itself is making too much noise, try lubricating the bearings and gears inside with motor oil or grease.
