A broken pump, a mystery leak, a heater that stopped working — pool problems don't wait for a convenient time. And in West Palm Beach, where your pool runs year-round and outdoor living is a daily reality, a malfunctioning pool isn't just an inconvenience. It's a disruption to your lifestyle and, if left unaddressed, a risk to your investment.
Pool Service Plus has been the go-to resource for pool repair and equipment installation in West Palm Beach, FL for over 25 years. Our licensed, background-checked technicians diagnose problems accurately, fix them properly the first time, and install equipment that performs in South Florida's demanding climate. Whether you're dealing with a sudden breakdown or planning a smart upgrade, we bring the expertise, tools, and professionalism your pool deserves.
Florida's environment is tough on pool equipment. The same sunshine that makes West Palm Beach one of the most desirable places to live also accelerates equipment wear in ways that homeowners from other states rarely anticipate.
Here's what your pool equipment faces in South Florida:
Attempting DIY repairs without the proper tools, parts, and training often masks the real issue or creates secondary problems. Our team diagnoses the root cause — not just the symptom — and repairs it correctly.
Your pool pump is the heart of your pool's circulation system. When it fails, everything suffers — water clarity, chemical distribution, filtration, and equipment health downstream. We service and repair all major pump brands and models, including:
Common pump problems we diagnose and repair include motor failure, impeller clogs, air leaks causing the pump to lose prime, seal failure causing leaks, and capacitor burnout. When a pump is beyond repair, we help you select a replacement that's properly sized for your pool volume and compatible with your existing plumbing.
Upgrade option: If your pool still runs an older single-speed pump, upgrading to a variable-speed pump (VSP) can reduce your pool's energy consumption by up to 90% and is now required by Florida building code for most new pool installations. We handle VSP upgrades and installation throughout West Palm Beach.
A properly functioning filter is essential for clear, healthy water. We service all three major filter types common in West Palm Beach pools:
Signs your filter needs professional attention include cloudy water that doesn't clear after chemical treatment, unusually high filter pressure, short filter cycles, or water returning dirty to the pool. Our technicians will diagnose whether your filter needs cleaning, repair, or full replacement.
West Palm Beach winters are mild, but for many homeowners, a pool heater is what transforms a "swimmable when warm" pool into a year-round retreat. We repair and install all heater types:
Heater repair services include igniter and pilot assembly replacement, heat exchanger descaling (critical in Palm Beach County's hard water), pressure switch and thermostat diagnosis, and error code troubleshooting for major brands including Pentair, Hayward, Raypak, and Jandy.
If your heater is more than 10–12 years old or requires repeated repairs, replacement is often the more cost-effective path. We'll give you an honest assessment and help you choose a system matched to your pool size, usage habits, and budget.
A pool losing more than a quarter inch of water per day (beyond normal evaporation) has a leak. In West Palm Beach's heat, evaporation is already significant — so even a small leak can waste thousands of gallons and hundreds of dollars per month. More critically, an undetected structural or plumbing leak can erode your pool deck, undermine your pool shell, and damage surrounding landscaping.
Our pool leak detection process uses professional diagnostic techniques including:
Once located, we repair leaks with durable, long-lasting solutions — whether that's pipe relining, fitting replacement, epoxy injection for structural cracks, or plaster patching. We document the repair so you have a clear record of what was found and fixed.
Saltwater pools are increasingly popular in West Palm Beach, and for good reason — they deliver softer, gentler water without the harsh smell and skin irritation of traditional chlorine. But salt systems require proper maintenance and occasional repair to function correctly.
We service and install salt chlorine generators from all major manufacturers, including Pentair IntelliChlor, Hayward AquaRite, Zodiac TurboCell, and CircuPool. Services include:
Modern pool technology makes managing your pool easier than ever. Pool Service Plus installs and programs leading automation platforms including Pentair IntelliConnect, Hayward OmniLogic, and Jandy iAqualink, giving you full control of your pool from your smartphone:
If you're still manually adjusting timers and hauling equipment outside to check settings, a pool automation upgrade is one of the best investments you can make. We handle everything from system selection to programming and training.
Plumbing issues — from cracked PVC lines to failing check valves to corroded unions — are common in older West Palm Beach pools. Our plumbing repair services include:
We use durable, UV-resistant materials rated for Florida's climate and code-compliant components throughout.
Pool lighting sets the mood for evening swims and outdoor entertaining — and a dark or flickering pool light isn't something to ignore. We repair and replace pool lights, niche assemblies, and conduit seals, and we install LED pool lighting upgrades that offer:

If you're seeing any of these, don't wait. Small problems become expensive ones quickly in West Palm Beach's climate.
Our pool repair and installation team serves homeowners and businesses across all of West Palm Beach and greater Palm Beach County, including:
Pool Service Plus holds Florida contractor license CPC# 1458733 and carries full liability and worker's compensation insurance. Every technician is background-checked and trained through our in-house AquaAcademy™ program. When we show up at your home, you're getting a vetted professional — not a subcontractor.
We've repaired and upgraded thousands of pools across Palm Beach County. That experience means we recognize common failure patterns, source the right parts quickly, and don't charge you for unnecessary diagnostic time. We've seen every pool problem West Palm Beach can produce.
We don't apply band-aid solutions. Our technicians diagnose the root cause of every problem, explain what they found in plain language, and repair it with quality parts and proper technique. We back our repair work with a satisfaction guarantee and applicable warranties on parts and labor.
Before any repair or installation work begins, you'll receive a clear, written estimate detailing the scope of work, parts, and labor. We don't add charges after the fact. If we open something up and find additional issues, we contact you before proceeding.
Because we also handle pool cleaning & maintenance and pool remodeling & renovation, we can address the complete picture of your pool's health — not just the single issue you called about. Many of our repair customers discover that a maintenance plan prevents the kind of deferred problems that lead to costly breakdowns.
We handle the full range of pool repairs, including pump and motor repair, filter servicing and replacement, heater repair and installation, salt cell repair and replacement, pool leak detection and repair, plumbing repair, lighting repair and LED upgrades, pool automation installation, and skimmer and drain repair. If it's part of your pool system, we can diagnose and fix it.
We use a combination of diagnostic methods: a bucket evaporation test to establish baseline water loss, pressure testing of all plumbing lines, dye testing around fittings and the shell, and electronic listening equipment to locate leaks underground without unnecessary excavation. We pinpoint the source accurately before any repair work begins.
Most leak repairs are completed in one to two visits depending on location and complexity. Simple fitting or seal repairs can often be completed the same day. Underground plumbing repairs may take longer. We'll give you a clear timeline before work begins.
In many cases, yes. Error codes on major brands like Pentair, Hayward, Raypak, and Jandy often indicate fixable issues like igniter failure, pressure switch problems, or heat exchanger scale buildup. Our technicians are experienced with all major brands and will diagnose whether repair or replacement is the better option given your heater's age and condition.
Almost always, yes. Variable-speed pumps can reduce energy costs by up to 90% compared to single-speed pumps, and Florida building code now requires them for most new installations. Payback periods in West Palm Beach are typically 1–3 years given year-round pool operation. We can calculate the projected savings for your specific pool.
