Winding Specialties

Winding Specialties Electric Motor Sales and Repair The story of Winding Specialties starts with Bertarm Marks. In 1970 Bertram passed away leaving the business to Bertarm Jr.

After returning from WWII he started Girard Electric in 1945 at Girard and Lancaster Ave in Philadelphia, PA where he passed his knowledge down to his sons. In 1971 a subsidiary of Girard Electric , Marc Electric, was created in Yeadon, PA by Patrick and Wayne Marks. In 1979 Winding Specialties was born when Patrick moved to West Chester, PA taking with him all the knowledge he learned since he wa

s 11 years old. That knowledge was graciously given to over 20 men in Pats lifetime. Not only did Patrick give these men a trade but life lessons as well. Sadly, Patrick Marks passed away in November of 2011. However, the business he established over 35 years ago is going strong and is still a West Chester institution. We are one of the very few motor/pump repair shops left in the area and even fewer left that still rewind stators and armature mainly because of the customer service that Patrick Marks established. Come visit us or call with your electric motor/pump needs and see why we are "WEST CHESTERS' OWN WINDING SPECIALTIES."

A customer brought this pool pump to us after he had it at another shop. They replaced the seal and told him it was good to go. He re-installed the pump and it was extremely loud. He then brought it to us. Any motor/pump brought to us receives a multi-point inspection. In this case the bearings, rotating switch and terminal block all needed replacement. Continuing to run the pump in the condition it was in would have resulted in the total failure of the motor. Let us help you keep your equipment running longer.

Most pool companies will always try to sell you a new motor/pump for your pool. Some will try to fix your motor/pump but do not have the expertise to do the work correctly. The first 2 photos show what a bad seal head and seat look like. ANY contaminates, including silicon, that get into the seal will destroy the integrity of the seal. This can lead to water getting into the motor. The next 2 photos show what a property installed seal looks like. Trust your motor/pump repairs to us here at Winding Specialties, it's what we do!!!!!!

From everyone here at Winding Specialties, have a save and wonderful 4th.

Pool season is just around the corner. Now is the time to bring in your pool pumps so that we can do a thorough clean out, and replace the bearings and seals. Getting a tune up now can help extend the life of your pump and help insure that your pump will make it through the season without any downtime.

Thank You for your sacrifice and your service.
