Pool equipment announces problems before it quits entirely, if you know what to listen for. A pump that hums but won't prime, a motor that trips the breaker on hot afternoons, a filter that needs backwashing twice as often as usual, a valve handle that spins without moving water—these are the early warnings. Ignore them long enough and a worn shaft seal becomes a flooded equipment pad, or a partially clogged impeller burns out a motor that had years left on it. Pool equipment repair is most cost-effective when it's addressed at the symptom stage, not the failure stage.
Diagnosis comes before any quote. The tech tests capacitors, checks amp draw, inspects impellers, and traces control circuits before naming a part. K&D Quality carries the components that fail most often across Pentair, Hayward, Jandy, Polaris, Sta-Rite, Zodiac, and Raypak equipment, so when a diagnosis points to a common culprit the repair typically closes on the same visit without a return trip for parts. When a fix and a replacement are both viable options, both get written up with the actual cost difference shown, and the customer decides. There's a 90-day warranty on parts and labor.
Across the South Bay, pool equipment is subjected to years of UV exposure, hard water mineral deposits, and the thermal cycling that comes with running a heater through cool nights and warm days. That environment accelerates wear on seals, o-rings, and internal bearings in ways that aren't always visible from the outside. Pool equipment repair in San Jose means knowing which failures are common in this specific climate and keeping those parts accessible. A good repair outcome is simple: the equipment runs quietly, holds prime, and holds pressure the way it did when it was new.

Full-service weekly maintenance on a fixed route day. Includes brushing walls and tile line, vacuuming as needed, skimmer and pump basket emptying, filter pressure check, water testing for chlorine, pH, alkalinity, cyanuric acid, and salt, and chemical balancing. Equipment is visually inspected every visit and you get a text or email if anything's off. Same tech every week, never subcontracted. Most San Jose pools fall between $165 and $235 per month depending on size and tree cover.
Full pool resurfacing for plaster pools showing stains, rough spots, hollow areas, or 15-plus years of wear, and fiberglass refinishing for gel-coat fading and osmotic blisters. Process includes drain, chip-out or prep, bond coat, new plaster or gel coat, fill and start-up chemistry over the first 28 days. Typical residential job runs 7 to 10 working days plus fill time. We coordinate the whole job, no separate contractors to chase.
Service and repair on attached spas and standalone hot tubs. Heater diagnosis, circulation pump replacement, jet repair, control pack swaps, cover lifter installs, and full drain-and-refills with line flush. We work on Sundance, Hot Spring, Caldera, Jacuzzi, and most older builder-grade attached spas. If the spa shares equipment with the pool, we already know the plumbing. Most diagnostic visits run under an hour and end with a clear written quote.
Salt cell diagnosis, descaling, replacement, and full new-system installation. We install and service Pentair IntelliChlor, Hayward AquaRite, Jandy AquaPure, and CircuPool. Existing cell scaled out? We test cell output and plate condition before quoting a replacement, plenty of cells just need a proper acid bath. New install on a chlorine pool typically runs $1,800 to $2,400 installed for a residential South Bay pool, including the cell, control board, flow switch, and plumbing.
Gas heater and heat pump repair on Raypak, Pentair MasterTemp, Hayward Universal H-Series, and Jandy LXi and JXi. Common fixes: ignition control modules, pressure switches, gas valves, thermal regulators, heat exchangers. We also install replacement heaters and run new gas lines through licensed sub when needed. Cold pool the week before a party? We carry the most-failed parts and most repairs finish same day. Full replacement installs run 1 to 2 days.
Install, program, and repair pool automation: Pentair IntelliCenter and EasyTouch, Hayward OmniLogic and OmniHub, Jandy AquaLink and iAquaLink. We set up the app on your phone, label every relay, and walk you through schedules for pump speeds, heater, lights, and salt cell. Existing system glitching? Most issues trace to a failed actuator, a stuck relay, or a wifi gateway that needs reflashing, not a full board replacement. We diagnose before we sell.
