Question 1

How much does it cost to replace pool equipment?

Accepted Answer

Pool equipment costs vary: variable-speed pumps run $1,500–$3,500, heat pumps cost $3,500–$7,000, gas heaters are $2,500–$5,000, salt chlorine generators cost $1,500–$3,000, and cartridge filters run $800–$2,000. A complete equipment pad replacement (pump + heater + filter + salt system) typically costs $8,000–$15,000 installed with Jandy Pro Edge warranty.

Question 2

How often should pool equipment be replaced?

Accepted Answer

Equipment lifespan varies: pumps last 8–12 years, heaters last 8–15 years, filters last 8–10 years (cartridges replaced annually), salt cells last 3–7 years, and automation panels last 10–15 years. If your equipment is 10+ years old, upgrading to modern variable-speed pumps and efficient heaters can save 50–70% on energy costs.

Question 3

What's the difference between a heat pump and gas heater?

Accepted Answer

Heat pumps use electricity to transfer heat from the air to your pool — they're very efficient (COP of 5–6) but heat slowly, best for maintaining temperature. Gas heaters burn natural gas or propane — they heat quickly but cost more to operate, best for rapid heating. In Florida's climate, heat pumps are the most cost-effective choice for regular use. Many homeowners install both for flexibility.

Question 4

Should I switch to a salt chlorine system?

Accepted Answer

Salt systems generate chlorine from dissolved salt, eliminating the need to buy, store, and handle chlorine. Benefits include: softer-feeling water, no chlorine smell, lower ongoing chemical costs ($50–$100/year vs. $300–$500 for traditional chlorine), and more consistent chlorine levels. The upfront cost is $1,500–$3,000, but most homeowners save money within 2–3 years.

Question 5

Why should I upgrade to a variable-speed pump?

Accepted Answer

Variable-speed pumps are the single best investment for pool energy savings. They run at lower speeds for daily filtration (using 70–80% less electricity than single-speed pumps) and ramp up only when needed for cleaning or water features. Florida law now requires variable-speed pumps for new installations. Annual savings of $720–$1,920 mean the pump pays for itself in 1–2 years.
