Need Spa Repair? Choose the Right Guy for the Job


The Florida heat is getting to you and what’s worse is that your pool or spa has just broken down. What an unfortunate time for this to happen but there’s no other way to deal with this matter than to call a pool repair or spa repair technician.

imagesBut before you go calling a pool repair guy, you have to check a few things first. Is the spa failing to heat up? Is your pool or spa losing water? How often do you check the water balance? When did you last cleaned your cartridge filter? Knowing more specifics about your pool or spa will be helpful in letting you find the right guy to do the job.

Back then, people would try to find a spa repair technician from a newspaper or classified ads but with technology today, there’s no reason why shouldn’t do an online search. This will literally cut your time in half and you can narrow down your search to a specific location. Once you got a few candidates, contact each of them. Be quite specific with your questions as this can help you pick the right pool repair technician.

Over the phone, describe your pool or spa problem with him. Ask for an approximate estimate of the repair costs. But what you must observe is how the spa repair technician will fix the problem. Through his answers alone, you’ll be able to gauge if the technician is knowledgeable enough to do the repairs. If you’re not convinced, you have other candidates to consider.

If your pool or spa has electrical problems, you can expect a higher service rate for that. And often, you need to look for a registered electrician and not just a pool repair guy. Finding an electrician for a spa or pool is harder but you can always ask for referrals from the company you bought the fixture from.

Given that you already picked someone to do the repairs, ask him to come over and inspect your pool or spa personally. Just within a few minutes of inspection, a good spa repair technician can already pinpoint the problem and will tell you immediately how to fix it. This shows his experience in his line of work. Further, a good technician will educate you about preventative maintenance so you won’t have to face similar pool or spa problems in the future.

Now don’t even try to do the repairs yourself especially if you’re trying to keep the costs down. Spa and pool repairs are a specialty and only experts can fix the problem properly.
