The filter sand compacts and saturates over time and stops filtering correctly. The typical sign is increasing operating pressure (when it exceeds 1.5 bars, it's time for backwashing or replacement). Sand replacement is done every 5-7 years with normal use. It's a full day's operation. Draining the filter, removing the old sand (usually about 80-120 kg for a standard domestic filter) and vacuuming the collector bed. Then comes filling with new sand of suitable grain size, adjusting the multiport valve, pressure testing, and commissioning.

The electrical inspection includes the nominal current consumption of the compressor during start-up and operation, wiring insulation check, condition of the starting capacitors (which degrade after the seventh or eighth year), and thermostat verification. The final disinfection with a certified product for air conditioning eliminates bacteria, fungi, and odours accumulated in the coil. This prevents the characteristic musty smell when you start the air conditioning after winter. If the pump is less than 5 years old and the fault is with the capacitor or bearing, repair is worthwhile. If it's over 8 years old or has a motor fault, replacement is the sensible option. A highly demanded improvement on the Costa Blanca is the conversion of traditional chlorine pools to salt chlorination pools. The idea is to add common salt to the pool water and an electrolyser that continuously and automatically converts it into chlorine. Much softer water on skin and eyes, no chemical chlorine smell, no need to add chlorine manually, more stable chemistry. Reasonable initial cost (between €1,700 installed for standard pools) and the investment pays for itself in 3-4 years due to savings on continuous chlorine purchases.

If the water treatment plant is more than 15 years old, several components are aged at the same time and isolated repairs become uneconomical. In these cases, we recommend complete replacement of the unit: new filter, pump, and multiport valve, installed in the existing pump house. A new quality unit with a high-efficiency pump consumes up to 40 per cent less electricity than older pumps, which in a pool with full annual use translates into significant economic savings over 5-10 years. In addition, the simultaneous change of all components gives you an official manufacturer's warranty for the entire set and resets the durability clock. New pump or water treatment plant with official manufacturer's warranty 2-3 years. Plus 30 days on installation. 30 days on parts and labour. For original manufacturer parts, official warranty 6 months depending on the model.

The price of breakdown repairs in Progrés usually ranges from €58 to €873. The final figure depends on the condition of the property, the materials, and the working time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. If the repair exceeds 50-60 per cent of the price of a new one, it's not worth it. We'll tell you after diagnosis. The general rule is that if the repair exceeds 50-60 per cent of the price of an equivalent new washing machine, it's more worthwhile to buy a new one. For premium machines (Bosch Series 8, Miele) that are 6-8 years old, almost any repair is worthwhile because the overall quality is far superior to current ranges. For basic machines that are 8-10 years old with a serious board or motor fault, replacement is the sensible option.
