Orlando Pool Repair: What to DIY vs Hire a Pro

Published 2025-02-15

DIY-friendly: basket cleaning after storms, chemistry adjustment, cartridge rinsing, and o-ring replacement on unpressurized components.

Call a pro: gas heater work, electrical repairs, leak detection, resurfacing, tile work, automation programming, and any repair requiring a Central Florida permit.

Rule of thumb: if the failure could injure someone or damage the pool shell, hire the pro.
