Pool Equipment Sales & Installation
We proudly carry and install high-quality pool equipment designed to enhance your swimming experience while reducing maintenance hassles. Our equipment selection includes:
Variable Speed Pool Pumps
Did you know that your pool pump is the second-highest energy consumer in your home after your HVAC unit? Transform your pool's energy consumption with a variable speed pump conversion. These energy-friendly pumps run quieter and more efficiently than standard single-speed motors, allowing for higher gallon turnover rates at a fraction of the cost.
Filtration Systems
Your pool filter works like the kidneys in your body, trapping microscopic debris and preventing it from returning to your pool. We offer all three major filter types:
Sand Filters: Utilizing specific grades of sand to filter contaminants down to 30-40 microns with routine backwashing required
Cartridge Filters: Our top recommendation, these filters clean water down to 15 microns with NO backwashing needed—just a simple rinse with your garden hose
D.E. Filters: Providing exceptional filtration using Diatomaceous Earth powder on a grid system
Salt Chlorine Generators
Switch from traditional chlorine to a salt system for hassle-free water treatment. Salt cells convert salt molecules into chlorine gas through electrolysis, creating water that feels silky smooth without the harsh chemical exposure. Salt systems eliminate the need to handle and store large quantities of chlorine, providing a more natural swimming experience.
Smart Automation Systems
Simplify pool management with our automation systems. Control multiple lights, pumps, heaters, and water features from your smartphone. We install, troubleshoot, repair, and program Pentair automation systems for easy access to all your pool functions.
Pool Heaters
Extend your swimming season with our natural gas and propane heaters. Perfect for heating spill-over spas or your entire pool to your desired temperature, ensuring comfortable swimming through Spartanburg's extended pool season.
Expert Equipment Repair Services
In Spartanburg's unique climate with 220+ annual sunny days, pool equipment experiences accelerated wear and degradation. Our technicians are factory-trained to diagnose and repair all major pool equipment brands, including:
Pump & Motor Repairs
Your pool pump functions like the heart in a human body, continually circulating water through filtration and sanitizer systems. When your pump starts screeching, buzzing, leaking, or making irregular noises, our technicians can perform tune-ups, replacements, or rebuilds on both single-speed and variable-speed motors.
Filter Services
Whether you need a sand change, cartridge cleaning, or D.E. grid replacement, our team delivers comprehensive filter maintenance to restore proper water flow and clarity. Cloudy water, despite balanced chemicals, is often a sign you're due for a sand change!
Salt Cell Maintenance
Salt cells require periodic acid washing to remove calcium buildup that reduces conductivity, typically 1-2 times per season. The ruthenium coating eventually wears off, requiring cell replacement every 3-6 years. We provide professional cell cleaning and replacement services to maximize your system's lifespan.
Spartanburg's Pool Part Specialists
Our local experience with Spartanburg's unique conditions sets us apart. The region's expansive clay soils create specific challenges that require specialized equipment and parts, including polymer-stabilized backfill for equipment pads, flexible PVC fittings with higher expansion tolerance, and corrosion-resistant deck anchors for safety covers.

Pump parts (impellers, seals, motors, baskets)
Filter components (cartridges, sand, D.E. grids, manifolds)
Salt cell replacements and sensors
