Tempe's Pool Cleaning and Repair Company

Captain Pools is a Tempe-based pool service company that handles everything a backyard pool needs: weekly pool cleaning and chemical balancing, pump and heater repair, salt system and equipment diagnostics, filter cleaning, and full green pool recovery. We service pools across Tempe, from North Tempe and the Mill Avenue area to The Lakes and South Tempe.

 

Tempe pools take a beating. Triple-digit summers, intense UV, hard water, and monsoon dust all work against your water chemistry and your equipment at once. Our technicians test and diagnose first, then fix what is actually wrong, so you aren’t paying for parts or visits your pool didn’t need.

What We Do

Pool Services in Tempe, Arizona

From routine weekly cleaning to same-day repairs and full green-pool recovery, we handle everything your pool needs, and nothing it doesn’t.

Skimming, brushing, vacuuming, basket cleaning, and on-site testing and balancing of pH, chlorine, and alkalinity, on the same day every week. Consistent weekly pool maintenance is what keeps Tempe’s heat and UV from turning clear water cloudy or green.

Weak flow, loud bearings, or a pump that won’t start? Triple-digit equipment-pad temperatures wear down shaft seals and motor windings early. We diagnose the motor, seal, and impeller first, then repair the real cause so it doesn’t fail again next season.

Salt chlorine generators, automation and control systems, valves, and plumbing lines. Hard water scales salt cells quickly in Tempe, and monsoon surges damage control boards. We test before recommending, because a scaled cell that needs cleaning shouldn’t be billed like a dead one.

Green, cloudy, or neglected after a storm, a vacancy, or a change of ownership? We shock the water, clear the algae, clean the filter, and rebalance the chemistry. Timelines depend on how far gone the pool is, and we tell you upfront whether it’s a one-visit fix or a multi-stage recovery.

Heater won’t fire, won’t hold temperature, or short-cycles? We trace ignition, thermostat, heat exchanger, and flow problems. As a Hayward Authorized Warranty Station, we handle manufacturer-backed repair on Hayward heaters and diagnose other major brands the same way.

Cloudy water, weak return jets, and a rising pressure gauge usually point to a dirty filter. We clean sand, cartridge, and DE filters and check pressure against baseline so you know the cleaning worked.

What Tempe's Climate Does to Your Pool

  • Heat and UV burn through chlorine. Sun exposure depletes chlorine fast, and warm water feeds algae. In summer, an unmaintained pool can turn cloudy or green within days. That’s why weekly service is standard here.
  • Hard water leaves scale. Tempe water is high in calcium and minerals. It shows up as scale on tile, heater heat exchangers, and salt cell plates, and it pushes calcium hardness up over time.
  • Monsoon season brings dust and debris. From June through September, dust storms and wind-blown debris clog baskets, overload filters, and throw off your chemistry.
  • Stabilizer builds up. Too much cyanuric acid makes chlorine sluggish, a common Arizona problem that regular water testing catches before it becomes an algae problem.
  • Equipment runs hot. Pumps and heaters working in triple-digit pad temperatures wear out seals, capacitors, and windings sooner than their ratings suggest.

We have been clients of Captain pools for many years. We have multiple pools and a lot of foliage. Justin is our tech and always does an incredible job! He takes his time, is very thorough, and is very nice! Lucas, the owner is so responsive, and runs a wonderful company. On time, great techs and fairly priced, truly the best!

My pool heater wasn't heating the water properly, so I called captain pools for pool heater repair. The technician checked the system, identified the issue, and got the heater working again. He tested it afterward to make sure the water was heating as expected. Great service, clear communication, and a smooth overall experience. I’d definitely recommend them!

From start to finish I am very satisfied with the service provided. Before assuming I needed a new pump they came out to check to see if can be repaired. It counted be repaired so they gave me a fair price on a new pump and installed very quickly.

Can't recommend enough. Thought I needed a new motor and they came and worked their magic, hard resets, some prop cleaning AND NO CHARGE as claimed it was an inspection only. Hard to find honest, reliable companies in these days and I can say Captain Pools is one of them. They could have said the motor was bad and I would have had no idea.

Scott went above and beyond helping me out. I'm not the best with technology, but he was very patient with me came out. And walked me through, it can't say enough good things about him. He definitely needs a raise LOL But all in all a very good man. Definitely an asset to your team.

What you get

Pool cleaning and service in Tempe, explained

Plain answers for Tempe and Phoenix Valley pool owners before you book weekly pool cleaning or a repair visit.

Is there a contract, and how do I cancel pool service?

Weekly pool service is billed on a 4 week cycle. Service cancellations requested during a month become effective on the last day of that same month, and no refunds are issued for partial months of service. The Residential Start-Up Sheet lists what is included in your plan.

Do you charge for quotes or repair visits?

Quotes and estimates are free. A quote visit is a quick stop of about 15 minutes. If the visit turns into repair work, or we need to put our tools on your equipment, our standard $135 callout applies, and it includes the first hour of work.

What if something isn't right after a visit?

If anything isn't right after a visit, tell us within 7 days and we come back and fix it free.

Who is the technician who comes to my Tempe pool?

Captain Pools runs weekly routes with the same technician on the same day each week whenever possible, so you are not re-explaining your pool history to a new face every visit. The company is licensed and insured, rated 4.5★ from 150+ Google reviews.

What other Phoenix Valley pool owners ask

How often should I have my pool serviced in Tempe?

Weekly. Tempe’s heat and UV burn through chlorine quickly, and a neglected pool can turn cloudy or green within days in summer. Weekly service keeps your chemistry balanced before problems show.

What's included in weekly pool cleaning?

Skimming, brushing, vacuuming as needed, skimmer and pump basket cleaning, water testing, and chemical balancing of pH, chlorine, and alkalinity. Chemicals are billed separately from the weekly cleaning fee, and if a chemical charge applies, we tell you in advance before it is billed.

How much does pool service cost in Tempe?

Pricing depends on your pool’s size, condition, equipment, and debris load, so we quote each pool individually rather than advertising a flat rate. Request a free quote, and we’ll get back to you within 24 hours.

Do you repair pool pumps, heaters, and equipment?

Yes. We repair pumps, heaters, salt chlorine generators, automation systems, valves, and plumbing lines, and we clean filters. We’re a Hayward Authorized Warranty Station and also service Pentair and other major brands.

My pool turned green. Can you fix it?

Yes. Our green pool cleaning and recovery service shocks the water, clears the algae, cleans the filter, and rebalances the chemistry. We’ll tell you upfront whether it’s a one-visit fix or needs multiple stages.

Why is my pool cloudy after a monsoon storm?

Dust, debris, and rain overload your filter and dilute your chemistry. Cleaning the filter and rebalancing the water usually clears it, and persistent cloudiness is worth a professional look.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Captain Pools is licensed and fully insured.
