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 Cleaning & Repair Services in Tempe, AZ

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

Weekly Pool Cleaning

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.

Pool Pump Repair

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.

Pool Equipment Repair

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 Pool Cleaning & Recovery

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.

Pool Heater Repair

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.

Pool Filter Cleaning

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.

What Tempe Pool Owners Say About Captain Pools

Frequently Asked Question

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.

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 holds Arizona ROC contractor license #33666 and is fully insured.
