What we do
Pool pumps installed properly, sized for your pool
Your pool pump is the heart of the filtration system. Get it wrong and you waste electricity, burn motors and end up with green water. Get it right and you barely think about it for the next decade.
Skynet Pools sizes, supplies and installs single-speed and variable-speed pool pumps from the brands we trust. We match the pump to your pool volume, your filter and your run pattern, then plumb and wire it cleanly so the pump room actually looks like one.
Our pool pump installation crews work across Pretoria East, Centurion, Waterkloof, Lynnwood, Menlyn, Garsfontein, Wapadrand, Mooikloof and the surrounding suburbs every week.

Why use Skynet
Pool pumps fitted to last
Six reasons Pretoria homeowners trust Skynet Pools to install their pool pumps instead of a generic handyman.
Correctly sized
We size every pump to your actual pool volume, plumbing run and filter rating. No oversized motors, no underpowered units.
Energy efficient
We recommend variable-speed pumps where they make sense, often cutting filtration costs by half or more.
Clean plumbing
Old pump rooms with leaks, awkward bends and bodged unions are repiped properly so flow is restored and leaks stop.
Safe wiring
Earth bonding, isolators and weatherproof connections fitted to standard, every time. No taped joints, no shortcuts.
Trusted brands
We supply pumps from brands with local parts and warranty support, so future service is fast and affordable.
Aftercare that lasts
Once installed, we are still on call for service, repairs and weekly maintenance. Same number, same team.
Our process
How we install your pool pump
A clear path from site visit to first prime. You always know what is being fitted, why and what it costs before any work starts.
- 01
Free site visit
We assess the pool, filter, plumbing and electrical setup. We measure pool volume so the pump is sized to your actual system.
- 02
Quote and pump choice
You receive a written, itemised quote with the recommended pump model, options and any extra plumbing or wiring needed.
- 03
Isolate and remove
We isolate power, drain the pump line, remove the old pump and tidy any failed plumbing or wiring before fitting the new unit.
- 04
Plumb and wire
The new pump is plumbed in with proper unions and valves, then wired through a safe isolator to the existing supply.
- 05
Pressure test and prime
We pressure test the suction and return lines, prime the pump and run the system through every multiport valve setting.
- 06
Commission and handover
We set the timer, walk you through start, stop and isolation, and leave you with the manuals, warranty and our number.
Pumps we install
The right pump for the right pool
From compact plunge pools to long lap pools, every Skynet pump install is matched to the actual demand of your filtration system.
Single-speed pumps
Reliable, affordable workhorses for standard pools where simple, scheduled filtration is all that is needed.
Variable-speed pumps
The most efficient option. Ramps up for cleaning, slows down for filtering, cutting energy bills dramatically.
Two-speed pumps
A solid middle ground. Low speed for everyday filtering, high speed for vacuuming and backwashing.
Saltwater pool pumps
Salt-resistant components for chlorinator setups, so motors and seals last in salt-rich water.
Compact pool pumps
Small, quiet pumps sized for plunge pools, courtyard pools and townhouse pools where space is tight.
Heavy-duty lap pumps
Higher flow pumps for long lap pools, water features and pools paired with heat pumps or solar panels.
What we fit alongside
A pump is only as good as the room around it
The motor matters, but so do the valves, pipes, timers and wiring around it. We upgrade what is failing and leave you with a pump room that is clean, safe and easy to operate.
Pump timers
Set and forget filtration cycles. Saves power and keeps water clear without you thinking about it.
Multiport valves
New or refurbished multiport valves so backwashing, rinsing and waste functions actually work.
Isolators and wiring
Safe, weatherproof isolators and tidy cable routing in line with standard electrical practice.

Frequently asked
Pool pump installation questions, answered
The questions Pretoria homeowners ask us most before booking a new pool pump.
How long does pool pump installation take?
A standard pool pump installation or replacement takes 2 to 4 hours on site. Replacing the full filtration setup or repiping the pump room can extend this to a half or full day. We confirm timing before we arrive.
What does pool pump installation actually include?
On-site sizing, supply of the pump, plumbing connections, electrical wiring, pressure testing, priming, commissioning and a full handover walkthrough so you know exactly how to run and isolate the system.
How much does a new pool pump cost in Pretoria?
Pricing depends on the pump size, brand, whether you need a variable-speed model and any plumbing or electrical work required. After a free site visit we send a written, itemised quote so you see every line item.
How long does a pool pump last?
A correctly sized and installed pool pump typically lasts 8 to 12 years. Lifespan depends on run hours, water chemistry and whether the pump is correctly matched to the pool volume and filter.
Can a variable-speed pump save me money?
Yes. Variable-speed pool pumps can reduce filtration energy use by 50 to 80 percent compared to single-speed pumps, especially in Pretoria where pumps run long hours through summer. We will tell you honestly when the saving is worth the upgrade and when it is not.
Do you also fit timers, valves and pump room plumbing?
Yes. We supply and fit timers, multiport valves, ball valves, unions and any plumbing the pump room needs to run cleanly. We tidy old wiring and pipework wherever we can so future maintenance is easier.
What if my pump trips the electricity?
We diagnose the fault on site. It is usually a failed motor capacitor, water in the motor, a damaged cable or an overloaded breaker. We fix the cause, not just the symptom.
