Austin’s Trusted Pool Equipment Repair & Upgrade Experts

See What Our Customers Are Saying

No one wants a dead pump Sunday morning or a pool that’s suddenly too chilly for swimming. When your pool equipment begins to break down, small problems rarely stay small. A pump that can’t keep up will cause poor circulation and filtration, leading to cloudy water, algae growth, and frustrating chemistry problems. Older, inefficient, or undersized pool equipment also drains your energy bill month after month. An inefficient pump could be costing you way more than repair costs.

That’s where Aqua Clear Pool Care comes in. We’re your local Greater Austin team of homeowners and property managers turn to when they need fast, honest pool equipment diagnostics and professional installation. We identify the true cause of the problem, lay out your options in plain English, and make your water crystal-clear and your equipment running smoothly again.

We work exclusively with in-ground pools serving residential and commercial properties all over Greater Austin, which means every solution we offer is backed by extensive, specialized experience. 

Your pool’s pump, filter, and heater do the heavy lifting that keeps your water sparkling clean, perfectly clear, and just the right temperature. So when one of these pool care essentials breaks down, we make sure it’s back up and running again fast.

Your pool pump is your pool’s heart.  Without it, your filter can’t do its job, and your water just sits there. We repair pumps that are going bad, replace motors and pump seals, and will quickly diagnose those strange noises, leaks, and pressure problems. 

When you need a pool pump replacement in Austin, one of the best investments you can make is upgrading to an ENERGY STAR certified variable speed pool pump. Here’s why: Austin Energy will give you a $300 rebate through its Appliance Efficiency Program when you install a qualifying ENERGY STAR variable speed pool pump, provided it’s installed by a participating contractor. We are a participating contractor, which means we take care of all the paperwork for you and make sure you get that rebate! 

In addition to the rebate, a variable speed pool pump uses dramatically less energy, typically reducing energy used by your pump by 65% or more, and operates so quietly you’ll forget it’s even on. For most pools in Austin, the savings will pay for the upgrade in only a few years. 

Think of your filter as the barrier between you and cloudy, unhealthy water. If it starts to fail, you will experience cloudy or milky water, an elevated pressure gauge reading, or billowing DE powder returning to the pool. If you experience any of these problems, it’s time to take a closer look! 

We service and replace whatever is inside that keeps your filter working: cartridges, grids, laterals, valves you name it! So you can enjoy clear water without constantly battling it. 

Having a functional heater is the difference between a swimming season that lasts a few months and one that lasts most of the year. When yours fails, we’ll get you swimming again as quickly as possible. We can decipher mysterious error codes (including widespread Pentair MasterTemp errors), correct ignition problems, and service the heating and control systems that cause your pool to be too chilly. We service all makes and models of heaters, from natural gas heaters to propane heaters to heat pumps. Natural gas and propane pool heaters are by far the most common heating method in Greater Austin for efficient, on-demand heating. From assembling pilots and repairing gas valves to complete heater replacement, we do it all. Whether you have a gas heater, propane heater, heat pump, or are just looking to switch fuel types, we service pool heaters throughout TX using the same thorough, safety-conscious method.

Your equipment is working fine, but something still feels like it’s missing from your pool experience? Look no further. These upgrades offer convenience and comfort, and make a low-maintenance lifestyle possible in your backyard. 

Ever dreamed of controlling your entire pool from your smartphone? Want to turn on the heater while you’re driving home from work, so the water’s at the perfect temperature when you arrive? Or adjust the pool light brightness and pump schedule without having to walk down to your equipment pad? Today’s automation technology makes it possible.  We install and configure your automation system to place your pumps, heaters, lights, and more on a single app. You’ll wonder how you ever put up with pool ownership without it. 

Switching from traditional chlorine pools to salt water has never been more popular in Austin. Salt water feels softer, is easier on the skin and eyes, and eliminates the smell of harsh chemicals. Daily maintenance is easier, too.  We can convert your pool to salt water by sizing the proper equipment for your pool and perfecting your chemistry from the start. 

You don’t want a burned-out or flickering pool light. We repair failing fixtures and replace outdated lights with state-of-the-art LED and nicheless lights that are beautiful, energy-efficient, and long-lasting. 

Pool lighting repairs require working around water and electricity, so safety is always our top priority. All electrical work is performed by a RAIL-certified technician (Residential Appliance Installer License), so you can rest easy knowing the job is done right, up to code, and safe for your family. 

Keeping your water at the perfect temperature is what separates a pool you use from one you just stare at in Central Texas. Here at Aqua Clear Pool Care, we construct these installs with your Texan lifestyle in mind. 

You know how by mid-summer your Austin pool can feel like a warm bath? When Texas hits triple-digit temperatures, a lukewarm pool just isn’t refreshing. Enter the pool chiller.  This handy little device actively cools your pool water down to a truly refreshing temperature, so your pool is comfortable all summer long, even during Austin’s peak heat. Pool chiller installation is one of the smartest upgrades you can make to your Austin pool if you want to maximize your pool time this summer, and our team can size and install the perfect system for your needs. 

Cold plunge pools are becoming more and more popular because of their amazing wellness benefits. Used by competitive athletes and everyday health enthusiasts alike, regularly jumping into cold water can help with faster muscle recovery, less soreness, and even an energy boost. We can design and install your own custom cold plunge so you can reap those benefits in the comfort of your own home. 

Let a heat pump help you swim any time of year. Heat pumps are the most efficient way to heat your pool because they don’t burn fuel like a gas heater. Instead, they absorb heat from the air and distribute it into your pool. Heat pumps use less energy than traditional heaters which saves you money. Central Texas rarely sees temperatures cold enough to keep a heat pump from heating your pool comfortably. If you’re looking to take the edge off in October or beat the rush to open your pool by mid-March, we can suggest and install a heat pump that will work for your pool size and your needs.

Not all maintenance requires facility-wide renovation, sometimes it’s the little things that can cause big problems. Random equipment pad leaks, plugged impellers, stubborn timers, aging valves, and more: we fix them all. In addition to these items, we service and replace many of the behind-the-scenes pieces that make your system work properly: 

• Chlorinators – Ensuring automatic sanitizer levels are consistent, without the hands 
• Actuators – Restoring hassle-free, automatic valve control of your pool and spa 
• Multiport Valves – Guaranteeing your filter, backwash, and wastewater flows as it should 
• UV Sanitizers – Maintaining optimal water purification  
• Booster Pumps – Providing full power to your pressure-side cleaners 

Our team will treat your service call with the exact same care, whether it’s a simple 10-minute adjustment or a major repair. 

Our technicians are knowledgeable and experienced on all of the leading pool equipment brands. Whether you have Pentair stacked on your equipment pad, your pool runs on Hayward, or you have a combination of brands. We know everything about every system we work on. We service and repair: 

• Hayward
• Pentair
• Jandy

Safety First. Every technician in our equipment and electrical departments is RAIL certified (Residential Appliance Installer License) and field-proven with at least two years of experience. That means your jobs are done right, safely, and up to code every time. 

Transparency & Communication. Transparency and communication are our love languages.  With our tech-forward approach to service, you’ll get a text before we arrive and an emailed service report after every visit detailing what we did and why. Photos included.  No more mystery charges or guesswork.  

Local Austin Experts. We service Central Texas pools, so we know them inside and out. From winterizing before a predicted hard freeze to keeping one step ahead of our brutal Texas summers by installing chillers, we know exactly what your pool needs to thrive year-round.
