Reliable equipment for lasting performance
Whether you’re replacing aging equipment, improving energy efficiency, or upgrading your pool with modern technology, Aqua Shop helps homeowners choose the right equipment for their pool and budget. From pumps and heaters to automation and saltwater systems, our team handles equipment recommendations, installation, and setup from start to finish.
Many equipment upgrades aren't about fixing something that's broken. They're about making pool ownership easier. Common reasons homeowners upgrade include:
Upgrade your pool with confidence
Variable-speed pumps are one of the most impactful upgrades you can make to a pool system. Compared to single-speed pumps, they use dramatically less energy while maintaining better circulation and water quality. We install and configure pumps from Hayward and other trusted brands.
Modern cartridge filtration systems help maintain water clarity while requiring less maintenance than many older filtration setups. Our team can help determine whether your existing filter is still meeting your pool's needs.
Extend your swim season significantly with a properly sized heater or heat pump. Heat pumps are especially efficient in our Southeast climate and can keep your pool comfortable for a large portion of the year. We're Aqua Comfort Heat Pump dealers and can help you find the right model for your pool size and usage.
Converting to a saltwater pool can simplify water care and improve swimming comfort. Our team handles the entire conversion process, including equipment selection, installation, and setup.
Control filtration schedules, heating, lighting, and other pool functions from your phone. Automation can simplify pool ownership while improving efficiency and convenience.
An automatic cleaner does the vacuuming, so you don't have to. We carry and recommend Hayward cleaners and can advise on the right model for your pool layout.

In many cases, repairing equipment makes sense. In others, repeated repairs can cost more than upgrading to a newer, more efficient system. Our team will evaluate:
From scheduling to swim-ready
We’re a Totally Hayward store with access to the full Hayward equipment line. We also work with Fluidra, Aqua Comfort, and other manufacturers, depending on the application.
Equipment we install through Aqua Shop is backed by manufacturer warranties, and we can help you navigate warranty questions if issues arise after installation.
You may want to consider replacement if your pump, heater, or filter is older, breaks down frequently, is noticeably noisy, or causes rising energy bills. In many cases, upgrading to modern equipment can be more cost‑effective over time than repeatedly repairing failing components.
Variable-speed pumps use significantly less energy than single-speed models while maintaining steadier circulation and better pool water quality. Many homeowners see lower utility bills, quieter operation, and longer equipment life after switching to a properly sized variable-speed pump.
It depends on your climate, pool use, and existing setup. In much of the Southeast, heat pumps are highly efficient for maintaining comfortable water temperatures across a long season, while gas heaters can be better for rapid heat-up or spas. Aqua Shop can review your goals and recommend the best fit for your pool.
A salt system conversion typically includes installing a salt chlorine generator, confirming your equipment is compatible, adding the appropriate amount of pool salt, and dialing in the control settings. Once set up, the system automatically produces chlorine from the salt, reducing manual dosing and often improving overall swimming comfort.
Modern variable-speed pumps, efficient heaters and heat pumps, and properly sized filters are designed to use less energy while delivering better performance. Over time, lower utility bills and fewer emergency pool repair service calls can offset the upfront cost of upgrading.
Equipment upgrades start with a review of your current system, pool size, and goals. We recommend specific models from brands like Hayward, Fluidra, and Aqua Comfort, then handle removal of old equipment, installation, setup, and a full test run. You’ll also get an overview of how to use your new system and what’s covered under the manufacturer warranty.
Most major pool equipment lasts somewhere between 5 and 15 years, depending on the type of equipment, how often it runs, and how well it’s maintained. Pumps and heaters commonly see 8–10 years of service, while filters and other components can have similar or slightly shorter lifespans.
Replacement costs vary based on the specific equipment, brand, and installation needs, but upgrading a single major component like a pump or heater often ranges from several hundred to a few thousand dollars installed. Replacing multiple pieces of equipment at once can run into the several-thousand-dollar range, which is why our team always weighs repair costs against the price and benefits of a full upgrade.
Upgrading to a variable-speed pump is usually the single biggest energy saver, often cutting pump energy use by 50–75% compared to an older single-speed unit. High-efficiency heaters, LED pool lighting, and smart controls can also reduce energy use and operating costs while giving you better control over how and when your equipment runs.
