Irving Pool Builders provides professional variable-speed pumps & filtration in Irving, TX for residential and commercial properties across the Las Colinas and mid-cities area. A variable-speed pool pump is the one equipment decision that keeps saving you money for the next fifteen years, which is why it's the first thing we specify on a new build. An old single-speed motor spins at 3,450 RPM every second it runs, whether the pool needs that or not, while a variable-speed unit achieves the same daily turnover at 1,200 to 1,800 RPM. Power draw scales with roughly the cube of speed, so running at half speed for twice as long uses dramatically less electricity for the same clean water. Most Irving pools pay back the difference in two to three seasons. The pad also goes quiet, which your neighbors in a zero-lot-line Valley Ranch yard will notice before you do, because their bedroom window is about eleven feet from your equipment. Pentair IntelliFlo, Hayward TriStar VS and Jandy ePump all do the job well and all three will talk to their own automation. Filtration is where opinions get strong. Cartridge is the sensible default now. No backwash line, no water down the drain, and at Irving water rates that adds up faster than people expect. Rinse the elements a few times a season and replace them every three to five years. Go one size up from what the pump strictly needs, because a larger cartridge runs longer between cleans and lets the pump loaf along at low speed, which is the whole point. DE filters polish finer than anything else and are the right answer under heavy pecan cover, at the cost of fussier maintenance and grids you've to actually look after. Sand is cheapest to buy, filters the coarsest, wastes water every backwash, and the media genuinely does need changing every five to seven years no matter what the previous owner told you. Diagnosis is mostly listening. A growl that rises with RPM is bearings, and a bearing swap is worth it on a good motor. A whine plus air in the basket is a suction-side leak, usually a dried-out pump lid o-ring or a cracked union, and it loses you no water at all, which is what makes it hard to find. Rust dust under the motor is a weeping shaft seal, and that one gets worse. Water at the base of the pad after a hard freeze is a split housing, which is the argument for freeze protection and for leaving the breaker on in February. We also rebuild whole equipment pads where the plumbing has become a knot of tight elbows choking the flow, and a straightened pad often gains more performance than the new pump did. Where we'll tell you to wait: if your single-speed pump is two years old and running perfectly, the payback maths is thin. Run it until it dies, then never buy single-speed again. If you run a pressure-side cleaner on a booster, budget for that too, because the booster is now the loudest and thirstiest thing on the pad.

Materials, equipment and how we do variable-speed pumps & filtration
The difference between variable-speed pumps & filtration that lasts and variable-speed pumps & filtration that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with gunite and shotcrete shells, one-piece fiberglass pool shells, PebbleTec and polished quartz interiors, glass mosaic and large-format porcelain tile, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Irving job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. 15+ years of pool work in the Las Colinas and mid-cities area means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
