Spa Service and Repair in Miami and Fort Lauderdale
A spa is a small body of water with a lot of equipment behind it. Hot water, jets, blowers, heaters and heavy chemical demand mean spas need more frequent attention than a pool, and when something fails, it usually fails right when you want to use it. Somar Pools maintains and repairs attached pool spas and standalone spas and hot tubs for homes and commercial properties throughout Miami-Dade and Broward.
Somar Pools has operated under Florida Certified Pool/Spa Contractor license CPC1458320 since 2013, with owner Mario Ramos as the license qualifier. That license covers the full scope of pool and spa repair, from equipment and heaters to piping and finishes. Mario brings more than 30 years in the pool industry, and Somar Pools is an authorized Jandy/Fluidra warranty station and Jandy Preferred Vendor.
Spa Maintenance
Regular maintenance protects your spa and keeps the water comfortable and safe. Spa service typically includes:
- Water balancing: Testing and adjusting sanitizer, pH and alkalinity, which change quickly in hot water.
- Filter care: Cleaning cartridges and replacing them when worn, usually about once a year.
- Cleaning: Waterline cleaning and periodic draining and refilling of standalone spas.
- Equipment checks: Pumps, blowers, heaters, jets, lights and controls.
Attached spas are serviced as part of our weekly pool service, and we can set up a maintenance plan for standalone spas.
Spa Repairs
The heater is the most complex part of most spa systems, and it is the most common reason we are called. We also repair:
- Heaters and heat pumps: Ignition, flow switch, sensor and element problems.
- Pumps and blowers: Motors, seals and air systems.
- Jets and plumbing: Leaks, weak jets and stuck valves.
- Controls and automation: Spa side remotes, automation and valve actuators.
- Spillovers and finishes: Uneven sheet flow, cracked tile and worn interiors on attached spas.
When a spa is losing water, we use the same leak detection methods we use on pools to find the source.
Spa Safety
Spa suction outlets are a serious entrapment risk if covers are missing, broken or expired. We check drain covers during service and replace them with covers that comply with the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act. Commercial spas must also meet Florida Department of Health requirements, which our commercial pool service team helps properties maintain.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should a spa filter be replaced?
Most spa cartridges should be cleaned regularly and replaced about once a year, sooner if the spa sees heavy use.
Why is my spa not heating?
Common causes include low water flow, a dirty filter, a failed sensor or flow switch, gas or electrical problems, or a valve not switching to spa mode. We diagnose the cause before replacing parts.
Do you repair standalone hot tubs?
Yes. We repair pumps, heaters, jets and controls on standalone spas from the major manufacturers, along with spas attached to pools.
Why is my spa water cloudy or foamy?
Cloudy or foamy water usually points to low sanitizer, unbalanced pH, a dirty filter or a buildup of lotions and soaps. Rebalancing and a filter cleaning often solve it, and sometimes a drain and refill is the best option.
Do you handle Jandy spa equipment under warranty?
Yes. As an authorized Jandy/Fluidra warranty station, we process eligible Jandy warranty repairs, and Jandy replacement parts we install carry a two year warranty.
Can you add a spa to my existing pool?
Often, yes. We design and build attached spas, including raised spas with spillovers, as part of pool renovations.
