Serving Greater Phoenix: Cleaning and Repairing Pools Since 2008 |
Call Now: (480) 907-0076
Running a negative-edge pool, a spillover spa, and a water feature off one control system means a lot more can go wrong than on a standard single-feature setup. Automation systems have to coordinate multiple pumps and valves correctly, and actuated valves have to route water cleanly between features on demand. Captain Pools provides professional pool equipment repair in Paradise Valley, AZ, with technicians experienced in the multi-feature systems common on the town’s estate-scale properties.
This page covers salt chlorine generators, automation and control systems, valves and actuators, plumbing and pressure lines, and cleaning equipment. Pump motor issues and filter problems are handled on their own dedicated pages, since each has distinct failure points worth addressing separately.
Multi-feature pools don’t just have more equipment, they have equipment that has to work together correctly, which creates failure points that don’t exist on a simpler system:
On multi-feature systems, a symptom on one feature is sometimes caused by a fault elsewhere in the system. We trace the issue rather than treating the symptom in isolation.
We isolate whether the issue is the control board, an actuator, a valve, the salt cell, or a plumbing fault before recommending a repair.
You’ll receive a clear, itemized quote before any work begins.
After repair, we test the full system, including features running simultaneously, to confirm the fix holds under normal operating conditions, not just in isolation.

GOOD Based on 145 reviews Posted on Google Michael SkinnerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Back in January of this year, I had Captain Pools change out my old sand filter for a cartridge type filter and they did a very good job with that. Over the last couple of months though, I had noticed that the union fitting on top of the pump was leaking a little water during pump operation. Although I don't like ANY leaks, I kept putting it off. Several days ago I called Captain Pools and asked them if they could look at it. Anyway, they arrived today and discovered the fitting was just a little loose so it ended up being a very quick fix. I'm glad they were able to respond quickly to my request, diagnose the issue and fix the problem. I'll continue to use Captain Pools in the future for any problems that arise, and recommend their services for any pool work.Posted on Google Mike DickinsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really appreciate the weekly report of before and after pictures how great my pool looks. They did a really nice job cleaning my DE filter. Thank you Captain Pools!Posted on Google Thomas BruchuTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Michael at Captain pools does a great job every week for my pool. This week I ordered a new vacuum and he set it up and installed it for me! Great weekly price and great service!Posted on Google Rosemary RaysorTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have used Captain Pools for approximately 6 years, in addition to having them do a full refresh (decking, removal of an old water feature and adding pebble stone). We have been very happy with their service, their communications (i.e. if our technician is out sick or delayed, we are notified) and their fairness. I am able to trust if they tell me a part needs repair / replacement, and they take care of issues timely. Would absolutely recommend Captain Pools!Posted on Google Matt CavendishTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent servicePosted on Google Sophia GravesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have been a customer of Captain Pools for over 10 years—they are an amazing company. Nate the owner has been so helpful for my family from the start. Today we had out cartridge filters cleaned by Scott! Wow! Living in this dusty desert really takes a toll on mostly everything. Scott did an awesome job! He was super nice, especially to our little dog who ran outside. See the before and after phots below. Seeing is believing. Thank you again Scott and Captain Pools!Posted on Google Jeff GitlinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lucas is amazing. Very helpful and knowledgeable about pools. I would highly recommend this company for any of your pool service needs.Posted on Google Adam RoderiqueTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Pool filter cleaning was well priced and efficient. Additionally, the tech showed me how to set my valves for spa mode along with regular daily settings. He also answered a few other questions that I had along with some general tips and tricks for pool maintenance. Have been using Captain Pools for 2 pools weekly for the last few years, only good things to say.Posted on Google Connie JamesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have had Captain Pools service my pool for 2 years. I have had other companies that lied, did not answer calls, and were very unprofessional. I am completely happy with Captain Pools. They go above and beyond. Prices are very fair Connie James
This is typically an automation or control system issue, sometimes combined with a valve that isn’t switching correctly. We diagnose the full sequence, control system, valve, and pump, rather than assuming the pump alone is at fault.
It depends on which component has failed and the complexity of your system. We diagnose first and provide a written quote before any repair begins.
Yes. We service salt systems sized for larger water volumes and can advise if a cell is undersized or wearing faster than expected for your pool’s capacity.
Yes. On systems where a shared valve routes water between the pool, spa, and water feature, a single faulty actuator can affect how multiple features perform, which is why we test the full system, not just the feature showing the symptom.
Keep your automation, valves, and salt system running the way a multi-feature pool demands. Call Captain Pools at (480) 907-0076 to schedule pool equipment repair in Paradise Valley, AZ.
