Workshop job this week: we fixed a pool
A client came in stressed because their home pool had gone green twice after recent storms. They’d already had a pool service, but the water turned again and the technician told them the chlorinator was “probably broken”.
They were worried they’d be up for a full replacement — an expensive hit nobody wants.
Before they spent money they didn’t need to, they asked us to take a look.
We ran a full electrical check on the unit:
- Tested the AC supply side to confirm the controller was being powered correctly
- Tested and measured the DC voltage output to the cell
- Diagnosed where the voltage was dropping under load
- Traced the actual fault inside the chlorinator system
Once we found the issue, we repaired it and got the chlorinator working again — no replacement needed.
We also checked and balanced the pool chemicals before we left, so they could finally enjoy a clear, sparkling pool instead of fighting algae every few days.
If you’ve been told your chlorinator is “probably broken”, or your pool keeps turning green after storms, we can test, diagnose and confirm the truth before you spend money replacing anything.
We love fixing things and giving clients peace of mind and saving them money.
One call and you’ll know exactly what’s going
