Pool Plumbing Repair
Pool plumbing controls how water moves through your system. When pipes, lines, or valves fail, circulation drops and equipment takes damage.
WaterTex Pools provides pool plumbing repair across Dallas–Fort Worth.
We repair pipes, return lines, suction lines, and valves at the equipment pad and underground. If water flow is weak, air is entering the system, or valves are leaking, plumbing service is needed.
Pool Valve Repair and Replacement
Valves control where water flows and how equipment operates. When a valve fails, circulation and pressure become unstable.
We repair and replace common pool valves, including:
- Check valves
- Diverter and 3-way valves
- Multiport and backwash valves
- Heater bypass valves
- Manual shut-off valves
- Valve actuators for automated systems
Signs a valve needs repair:
- Water leaking from the handle or body
- Valve stuck or hard to turn
- Water flowing to the wrong line
- Loss of pressure after switching positions
If a valve body is cracked or warped, replacement is required.
Check Valve Repair
Check valves stop water from flowing backward. When they fail, air enters the system or water drains back to the pool.
Common issues include:
- Stuck flaps
- Broken internal springs
- Cracked housings
- Poor sealing on 2-inch lines
Failed check valves often cause pump priming problems.
Multiport and Backwash Valve Repair
Multiport valves control filter functions. Internal gasket failure is common.
We repair:
- Spider gasket leaks
- Handle and shaft issues
- Internal bypass problems
- Water leaking to the waste line
If water exits the wrong port, the valve is no longer sealing correctly.
Diverter and 3-Way Valve Repair
Diverter valves control pool and spa flow. Failure can block circulation or prevent proper heating.
Common problems:
- Stiff or frozen handles
- Internal seal wear
- Cracked valve bodies
Automation systems rely on these valves to work correctly.
Valve Actuator Repair
Actuators move valves automatically. When they fail, valves stop responding.
Symptoms include:
- Clicking without movement
- Valves stuck between positions
- Automation errors
Actuators can often be replaced without changing the valve body.
Pool Pipe and Line Repair
Pool plumbing includes above-ground and underground piping. Damage reduces flow and stresses equipment.
We repair:
- PVC pipe at the equipment pad
- Suction lines
- Return lines
- Heater bypass lines
- Cracked fittings and unions
Underground pipe location is handled through dedicated detection services.
Return Line Repair
Return lines push clean water back into the pool.
Common issues:
- Weak return jet flow
- Broken return fittings
- Cracked wall fittings
- Loose or missing eyeball fittings
Return problems often show up as uneven circulation.
Suction Line Repair
Suction lines pull water from the pool to the pump.
Problems include:
- Air entering the system
- Skimmers not pulling water
- Pump losing prime
Suction-side leaks must be addressed quickly to avoid pump damage.
Equipment Pad Plumbing Repair
Equipment pads contain the most exposed plumbing.
We repair:
- Pump inlet and outlet connections
- Filter plumbing
- Heater bypass assemblies
- Unions and glued fittings
Pad plumbing failures are often visible and should not be ignored.
Signs Your Pool Has a Plumbing Problem
Some plumbing issues are obvious.
Others show up through system behavior.
Air in the Pool System
Air should never be present during normal operation.
Signs include:
- Air bubbles in the pump basket
- Gurgling sounds
- Pump losing prime
- Fluctuating pressure
These issues often trace back to suction-side plumbing or failed check valves.
Weak or No Water Flow
Poor circulation stresses every component.
Watch for:
- Weak return jets
- Skimmer not pulling debris
- Filter pressure outside normal range
Flow issues should be diagnosed before equipment is damaged.
Visible Pipe or Valve Damage
Visible damage is a clear warning.
This includes:
- Cracked PVC
- Leaking valve stems
- Loose fittings
- Freeze-related breaks
Running the system in this condition can worsen the failure.
