Pool & Built-in Spa Equipment warranty coverage

Whether you're cooling off on a hot day or soaking away the stress of a long week, your pool and built-in spa help make home even more enjoyable. Add Pool & Built-in Spa Equipment coverage to your home warranty plan, and if a covered breakdown occurs, simply place a service request online or call American Home Shield. We'll help take the hassle out of getting things back up and running, so you can get back to making a splash!

American Home Shield will pay up to $3,000 per agreement term for access, diagnosis, and repair/replacement of covered fresh water pool equipment. Both pool and built-in spa equipment are covered if they share equipment. If the pool and built-in spa do not share equipment and have separate pump and filtration systems, only one or the other is covered unless an additional fee is paid to cover both.
