## What Are the Signs Your Pool Pump Needs Emergency Repair? Call for emergency repair right away if your pump won't start, makes loud grinding or squealing noises, leaks water from the housing, gives off a burning smell, or repeatedly trips the circuit breaker. Warning signs like reduced water flow, frequent on/off cycling, unusual vibrations, higher energy bills, or air bubbles in the return lines mean a problem is developing and needs prompt attention. The sooner you act, the less likely a small issue becomes costly secondary damage. **Call immediately if you notice:** ## Why Do Navasota Pool Pumps Fail?
