Practical care for older pools and rental properties, with Nevergreen Pools as our partner.
Beyond Pool Cleaning services, repairs, and restores backyard pools in Tempe, including weekly cleaning and chemistry, equipment repair and replacement, filter service, and green pool recovery. We work with homeowners, landlords, and property managers who need a pool that stays usable without constant supervision.
Call us if the pump sounds like it is grinding or rattling, if the sand or DE filter needs backwashing every few days, if palm fronds and citrus leaves keep clogging the skimmer, if rough spots or stains are showing up on the plaster, if a tenant just moved out and the water has turned, if the water drops faster than evaporation would explain, if a crusty white band runs along the tile, or if the equipment is old enough that nobody knows what it is anymore.
We are a local crew in partnership with Nevergreen Pools, licensed under Arizona ROC 365989, with our shop in the Scottsdale Airpark on East Gray Road. Use the form on this page to tell us about the property, and we will call you to talk through what it needs.
An older pool needs someone who looks at all of it. On the first visit our technician tests the water, inspects the plaster, checks the skimmer and main drain, and spends time at the equipment pad listening to the pump and looking at the filter, valves, and plumbing. Many pools here have had parts swapped over the decades, so we take note of what is actually installed before we recommend anything.
Repairs and replacements are quoted in writing before we start. On aging equipment the question is often whether a fix will hold up or whether it is money spent on something close to failing, and we give you a straight answer either way. For rental owners, that includes a plain comparison of what a repair buys you now versus what a replacement saves over the next few years. The same team that does the work handles the follow up visits, so nothing gets lost between calls.
Here is what shapes pool care in this city. Most homes were built between the 1960s and 1980s, and their plaster pools have usually been resurfaced once or twice. Skimmers and drains tend to be original, and many pads still run single speed pumps with sand or DE filters near the end of their service life. A large share of homes are rentals or investment properties, and pools there can go weeks without attention between tenants. The city water is very hard and scales tile, heaters, and salt cells quickly. Summer highs reach 105 to 115, evaporation is heavy, and chlorine burns off within hours without enough stabilizer. Monsoon storms from July through September dump fine dirt overnight, and mature palms, citrus, and mesquite shed debris all year.
Our service categories include:
With a steady plan in place, the water stays clean and safe, the old equipment gets the attention it needs to keep running, and problems are spotted while they are still small. For landlords and managers, that means a pool that is ready when a tenant moves in and a written record of each visit to keep with the property file.
Neglect gets costly on an older pool. A worn single speed pump that is left to grind can fail in the middle of July, when green water follows within days. Plaster exposed to unbalanced water for long stretches etches and stains, which speeds up the need for another resurface. A sand filter that has lost its media lets fine dirt pass straight back into the pool. Between tenants, a pool left sitting for a few weeks in the heat can turn into a full cleanup instead of a routine visit.
Older pools also benefit from a little planning. When a pump or filter is close to the end, we can help you schedule a replacement during the cooler months instead of scrambling after a breakdown in peak summer. Upgrading from a single speed to a variable speed pump is one example that often lowers power use, and we will lay out the numbers if it fits your situation.
Let us take the pool off your list. Request service on this page and a member of our team will get back to you to set up the first visit.
