Pump Station Repair And Replacement Services

Pump stations shouldn’t be a source of stress. Specified correctly and equipped with the technologies needed to withstand the peculiarities of Florida’s climate, a good pump station will chug along for years – nourishing your green spaces and supporting your project.

Add a healthy dose of preventive maintenance and those years become decades. To be clear, that’s decades of hassle-free operation; with minimal outlay for repair work, healthy water-use figures and freedom from the oppressive and unnecessary cost of landscape restoration.

To people currently stuck in what we call the “break and fix” cycle, that may well sound like a pipe dream. But it is the day-to-day reality for most of our clients – and they’d be happy to tell you that.

When we are involved from day one of a project - and our team is given the freedom to design a solution that’s tailored to the specifics of a given landscape - we deliver pump stations that go the distance.

Unfortunately, we’re not involved in the early stages of every project. For a significant proportion of Florida’s golf courses, residential developments, parks and sports complexes, lack of knowledge, complacency or a willingness to listen to bad advice has led to the installation of sub-par equipment that’s prone to constant failure.

A Familiar Problem for Florida Projects

If you find yourself nodding along in agreement with the above – or you’ve inherited a pump station that’s costing a small fortune in repair bills, know that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Equipped with over 40 years of design and repair experience, we’re well-placed to help you repair, refurbish or replace defective equipment with one or more best-in-class pump stations, tailored to the requirements of your project.

Hoover pump stations will save you hundreds of thousands of dollars across the lifespan of your project, and significantly reduce the amount of time you spend stressing about your irrigation system.

- If your pump station is draining money away in repair bills and causing endless stress, then a new Hoover pump station will save you hundreds of thousands of dollars across the lifespan of your project.

A Proven Replacement Service for Other People’s Equipment

Over the years, we’ve retrofitted significant upgrades for HOAs that were struggling to support landscaped green spaces, and golf courses that were losing money because their irrigation system couldn’t deliver.

We’ve even carried out replacement work for residential developers who were struggling to hand over their development because of ongoing problems with sub-par pump stations.

We do also offer refurbishment services where possible, but it’s important to note that it’s often counterproductive to try and refurbish a pump station that isn’t up to the job.

Dedicated Repair Services For Hoover Water Delivery Systems

For Hoover customers that have already invested in a best-in-class pump station, we also offer an expert repair service that’s designed to take care of the minor problems that are bound to crop up now and then.

To be clear, we do have the skills and experience required to repair any irrigation pump station, but we tend to find that the equipment installed by other manufacturers simply isn’t fit for purpose. In other words, we won’t embark on repair work if we don’t think a given pump station will ever perform properly.

We take great pride in our work, and strive to ensure that we’re always acting in our customer’s best interests.

It's about being the best at your craft and Hoover are the best at their craft. They have pride in what they do.

Case Study

Castellina Community Irrigation

We worked with this gated community in Wellington, Florida, made up of 260 single-family homes, featuring three large lakes. They had a number of issues with their irrigation system, which was installed in 2011. We carried out a phased revamp and upgrade of the existing system resulted in a long-term solution at a much lower cost than starting over. Read our case study on this total irrigation solution.

How Do I Know Whether I Need Replacement, Repair Or Refurbishment?

In all honesty, it’s often very difficult to work out what level of support you’ll need without putting boots on the ground – and taking a look at your setup.

If you’re struggling with a defective pump station or running up against landscaping issues that are caused by a malfunctioning irrigation system, we’d recommend getting in touch with our team as soon as you possibly can.

We’ll be able to help you get to the bottom of the problem – and identify the equipment that’s jeopardising your efforts to maintain an aesthetically pleasing landscape.

This isn’t an attempt to sell you a service that you don’t need – we know just how easy it is to blame your pump station when something else is amiss.

Irrigation systems are complex and multifaceted. A suboptimal pump station is the root cause of a great many issues, but it’s important to note that inadequate filtration systems can also wreak havoc on a system.

As can ageing pipes, poor quality water, water table fluctuations and countless other, equally missable issues. It’s also important to remember that the correct solution will also depend on the specifics of your system.

We can often replace a sub-optimal pump station without interfering with your water source, pipework or controllers but there are cases where switching intakes may be 100% necessary to resolve a problem – or where your pipework needs a small upgrade to accommodate a better pump station.

The point is that we will always work to find the most efficient and economical solution – working hard to solve the problem in a way that provides many years of hassle-free irrigation instead of a return to the “break and fix” cycle you’re working to escape.

A Proven Track Record

Over the course of the last four decades, we’ve installed 9000+ pump stations across the state of Florida. Some of these design and installation projects have been for brand-new residential developments, sports fields or master planned communities.

But it’s fair to say that a significant portion of our bread-and-butter work revolves around helping people out of sticky situations. More often than not, our customers have inherited a system that doesn't perform and desperately needs help.

We say this because we think it’s important to stress the fact that we understand what you’re going through. We know you’ll be under a lot of pressure to find an effective solution that solves the problem for good.

We understand that you’ll be fielding complaints from multiple parties and won’t know which way is up, which is why so much of our repair, refurbishment and replacement service revolves around providing you with the expert consultancy you need to gain clarity and pick the right solution.

Providing Access To Seasoned Experts

To really deliver for your members, home owners or investors, you need to be able to speak with people who have the expertise, candor and single-minded determination needed to drill-down and ferret out the answer to your problem.

Whenever we partner with a Florida business or development, we provide unfettered access to some of the greatest minds in the business. That’s people who’ve been designing and fitting pump stations for decades – and know exactly how to zero in on a long-term solution for your project.

Taking A Long Term View

Some pump stations manufacturers take a decidedly short-term view; focusing 100% of their efforts on the sale of brand-new equipment instead of considering the real needs of their clientele. We take a different approach.

In fact, we’ve built our reputation on our ability to partner with clients and provide a long-term solution that delivers for decades to come. That’s how we’ve become the preferred supplier for some of the nation’s biggest home builders – and some of Florida’s biggest development projects.

Our long-term approach has also made us the de-facto supplier for Florida ballparks and spring training grounds, golf courses and luxury resorts and that’s not an idle boast – it’s simply a point made to illustrate the fact that you can rely on us to act in your best interests.

If you come to us with a problem that’s best fixed by replacing a valve or adding a VFD to your setup, that’s what we’ll do. Because we’d far rather do the right thing than sell you a brand-new station when the one you’ve got is fit for purpose.

You’ll stick with us if we’re honest with you, and we think that’s a much better proposition for the future of our business. That said, it’d be remiss of us to pretend that anything but a vanishing small minority of problems could be solved via simple repair work.

Sadly, the overwhelming majority of pump stations fitted to Florida irrigation systems are simply not fit for purpose. Short term thinking infects every aspect of our industry, and ignorance of current best practice - coupled with the desire to minimize costs - means that most projects do need a replacement system to operate at peak efficiency.
