Calpeda pool pump


Recommended Posts

My Calpeda pool pump is running very noisy and losing suction.  Engineer says it sounds like bearings are going.  The pump was there when I bought the property and could be about 8 years old.

Calpeda are a worldwide pump company and their pumps seem to be sold by engineering firms rather than pool suppliers.  Their pool pumps are only a small part of their range.  The best UK price I can get for a direct replacement is just over £500.

Does anyone have any views on Calpeda quality?  Where do they stand compared to other makers?

Thanks in advance

Stan if the motor is ok and it's just bearings then a service repair is all that is needed. They are not much different to any other pump and after 8 years the bearing gets noisy, what's to complain about.

Can your engineer repair it?

Its just that the pump is currently winterised in Deux Servres and the engineer is in Suffolk, (and I am much closer to the engineer than I am to the pump.)  If it is just bearings it may be worth the hassle but if its more than that I may end up needing a new pump anyway.

Its just that I had never heard of Calpeda before investigating my noisy pump.
