![]() At Love Pool Care, we take immense pride in ensuring each and every one of our clients receives exceptional value and service. We strive to be the company you can rely on for any pool-related need, whether it’s an issue we’ve encountered, a new equipment concern, or water chemistry adjustments. Or simply a follow-up to help out the Service Tech assigned to the pool! We want to highlight a key benefit we offer to our weekly service clients: free repeat diagnostic or follow-up visits. If our Service Technicians identify an issue during their regular visit, our office will promptly schedule a manager or Repair Technician to investigate, provide recommendations, and resolve the matter on the spot whenever possible. We understand that maintaining a perfect pool requires ongoing attention, especially with factors like weather, usage, or unforeseen issues. While any company has limited resources, we are committed to making these follow-up visits work for you, within reason, because your satisfaction and happiness with your pool are our top priorities. Providing weekly service (and follow-ups) to our valued clients is a significant undertaking. It requires a team of talented and dependable professionals, as well as constant communication between our clients and technicians throughout the day. We kindly ask for your understanding and patience. Our team is dedicated to communicating effectively and providing the best possible service, repairs, and renovations to ensure your pool remains beautiful and functions correctly at all times. We're working hard to exceed your expectations. If you’re considering us for your pool service needs, we would be thrilled to discuss how we can bring peace of mind and a sparkling pool to your home. Thank you for being a part of the Love Pool Care family! The Love Pool Care Team

At Love Pool Care, we don’t just service pools—we get to experience the breathtaking beauty of Phoenix and its surrounding suburbs every single day. From the vibrant urban charm of central Phoenix to the rugged desert landscapes of North Scottsdale, our work takes us across the Valley, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. This isn’t just a job; it’s a privilege to witness the unique character of each community while helping residents enjoy their backyard oases. Let’s take you on a tour of why we’re so grateful to call this stunning region our workplace—and why Phoenix is so much more than a “hot” summer destination.
The Valley’s Diverse Charm Phoenix and its suburbs are a tapestry of natural beauty, architectural diversity, and vibrant communities. Each area we visit has its own personality, and we’re thrilled to soak it all in while keeping your pools sparkling clean.
Beyond the Suburbs: The Valley’s Endless Adventures What makes Phoenix truly special is its proximity to so many incredible destinations. When we’re not servicing pools, we’re dreaming about the adventures just a short drive away. Two hours north, you’ll find the pine forests of Flagstaff, perfect for a cool summer escape. Three hours south, the beaches of Puerto Peñasco, Mexico, beckon with sandy shores. Four hours northwest, the air-conditioned casinos of Las Vegas offer a fun getaway. And six hours west, San Diego’s ocean breezes await. Living and working in Phoenix means you’re never far from a change of scenery, which keeps our team inspired and energized. Why We Love What We Do Sure, Phoenix summers can be intense—temperatures often climb past 100°F from May to September. But as pool care experts, we see the heat as an opportunity. Pools aren’t just a luxury here; they’re a way of life. Whether it’s a family splashing in North Peoria, a couple relaxing in Paradise Valley, or winter visitors enjoying a South Scottsdale rental, we’re proud to make those moments possible. Our work lets us connect with homeowners, explore every corner of the Valley, and contribute to the communities we love. Mother Nature has blessed this region with sheer beauty, from the fiery sunsets over the Estrella Mountains to the star-filled skies above Lake Pleasant. The Sonoran Desert, with its iconic saguaros and vibrant wildlife, is unlike anywhere else in the world. Add to that the Valley’s cultural diversity, thriving food scene (hello, tacos and craft breweries!), and year-round sunshine, and it’s no wonder we’re so passionate about being part of this place. Building Long-Term Relationships At Love Pool Care, we’re more than just a pool service company—we’re your neighbors, your fellow Valley enthusiasts, and your partners in creating unforgettable backyard memories. Whether you need routine maintenance, repairs, or a full pool renovation, we’re here to deliver top-notch service with a smile. We feel lucky to work in a place as beautiful and diverse as Phoenix, and we’re committed to earning your trust for the long haul. Ready to make your pool the centerpiece of your home? Contact us today, and let’s keep the Valley’s pools—and its beauty—shining bright.

Thanks for reading! ![]() If you have or have wanted a new swimming pool, you’ve felt the shockwaves of higher prices and shortages of products over the last two years. A combination of factors have created an imperfect storm that continues to hang over the industry, with no concrete end in sight. BRIEF TIMELINE OF EVENTS THAT HAVE SWAYED THE SWIMMING POOL INDUSTRY FOREVER: LATE 2019. The Covid-19 global pandemic which began to manifest itself in late 2019, forced pool owners to stay home and use their pool! Or renovate their existing pool. Or build a new pool. The demand for chemicals, equipment, and services multiplied daily to the point of putting a strain on the availability of these goods and services. AUGUST 2020. A critically important chlorine manufacturing plant in Louisiana burned down as a result of Hurricane Laura. The extremely dangerous chemical fire halted chlorine production, creating further pressure on increasing chlorine demand due to the pandemic. Force majeure from manufacturers went into effect. Immediately, chlorine prices skyrocketed. Shortages occurred. Pools began to turn green. Some service companies struggled to stay afloat. The increases have not slowed, and it’s anyone's guess where prices might stabilize. A new chlorine manufacturing plant is under construction, however not expected to be in production until late 2022 (tentatively). 2020-OCTOBER 2022. The demand, shortages, and reduced global workforce created the next “buzzword”: Supply Chain Issues. Overseas pool goods, parts, and chemicals backed up at our ports of entry, sitting on cargo ships for months. The manpower necessary to get these goods from the ships to the consumer is nowhere near peak capacity. The backlog has created MASSIVE supply issues for retailers and homeowners. All the while, manufacturers have implemented double-digit price increases multiple times per year on all goods and chemicals. 2 MAJOR POOL INDUSTRY SECTORS THAT HAVE BEEN AFFECTED: DEMAND FOR POOL SERVICES. The demand for professional service companies that actually have the necessary chemicals to keep pools sanitized and oxidized correctly is at an all-time high. However, supply of chlorine and chlorine alternatives have been perilously low! ALL companies have been forces to raise rates on all phases of service, chemicals, and supplies. Pools still need proper amounts of chemicals or we’ll have an entirely new disease issue on our hands! DEMAND FOR NEW BUILDS AND RENOVATION. Low interest rates combined with peak demand for backyard living has pegged the trades involved with construction to their limits. Important materials such as steel, concrete, shotcrete, tile, equipment, interior finishes, travertine, and anything else involved with construction has caused ripples in the completion timelines. Not only are these materials inconsistently available, pricing has pushed the costs of construction higher. If product becomes available, slots are immediately filled due to the increased demand, pushing some projects multiple months out from a projected initial completion date. The supply chain challenges have taken an exhausting stranglehold on the goods and services we purchase and provide! RELIEF IN SIGHT? There is GOOD NEWS! Although pricing will likely never drift back down to prices of 2 years ago, the availability of goods and chemicals are showing signs of (small) life. Manufacturers, distributors, and service providers have been forced to innovate and be better! Forecasting, planning, and finding ways to take care of our customers is more important than ever. The changes Love Pool Company and many other companies have made will make us more efficient, all the while driving home the importance of delivering the best customer service and communication we can possibly provide. OUR RESPONSIBILITIES AS A SMALL BUSINESS Our daily task is to help our clients navigate through the issues presented to us. To find ways to be more efficient, proactive, and unique ways to offset our dependence on chlorine and other chemicals and goods. We’re proud to say that we’ve met the tasks head-on and successfully with the help of caring clients, employees, and representatives in all phases of the pool industry. Here’s to a better, smarter, safer 2022 for all of us! ![]() We recently completed a challenging project that involved removing an existing pool, then reconstructing into a new pool and backyard hardscape. Everything involved in-between the lines was an arduous process due to the challenging terrain, access, requirements, and our own quest for "perfection". Our company treats every project with as much care and preparation as if it was our own pool. Fortunately, we've been able to work with fabulous clients who exude trust, patience, and understanding that projects can evolve by the minute. This project included all of the above! We're very fortunate to be able to have a client say "Yes", all the while knowing that this was going to get MESSY! The projects involved many layers to get by in order for us to cross the finish line. The existing pool had structural cracks caused by poor prior construction, Non-existent drainage, unfit soil, and a previous tremor/earthquake that potentially pushed the structural damage over the edge. The only way to confidently rectify this situation would be to remove the existing pool and get our Soil & Structural Engineers involved to tell us what their recommendations were. Sure enough, the solutions were to bring in better soil, compact to 95%, add extra steel, waterproof, and provide plenty of drainage! Easy enough... hardly!!!! A list of hurdles/challenges along the way...

The variable-speed pump has been the #1 leading technology "game-changer" for residential and commercial pool owner's for the last 10 years. The pump technology has dramatically (like, really really dramatically) reduced the power consumption for every pool that has a variable-speed pump installed. The combined energy savings worldwide since the introduction of these pumps into the pool market is astronomical!
The key to any energy savings with these pumps is PROGRAMMING. It doesn't make much sense to peg these pumps at maximum 100% capacity, 3 Horsepower or 3450 RPM 24/7! Smart, efficient programming based on your pool's water flow needs will determine the amount of energy you will save. Expect energy savings in comparison to your older, single-speed pump anywhere from 40% to 80% (if the pump is programmed correctly). Love Pool Care has installed, programmed, and repaired thousands of variable-speed pumps in the Phoenix market... "Ground Zero" for pool equipment applications! Without a doubt, the Pentair Intelliflo (all generations) has maintained the lead in pump quality, efficiency, dependability, and overall ease of use. The Pentair IntelliFlo VSF (Variable Speed & Flow) 011056 is our pump of choice, and will continue to be until another manufacturer proves to us otherwise. Why do we like this pump so much?
Remote control automation in the pool industry has been around for quite a while. Starting with wired remotes, to short-range wireless... pool owner's have been able to operate and view their equipment from remote controls for the last 2-3 decades. However, it's been pretty limited, somewhat cumbersome, and expensive. The pool industry is also FINALLY starting to catch up to the Google Nest, Amazon Alexa, and various other home, auto, landscape automation control methods. Due to limitations with older equipment, valves, and far-reaching wi-fi signals, pool automation has often lagged behind, which has presented different set of obstacles to overcome. A newer automation released from Pentair a little over a year ago could shape the industry and automation moving forward. It's NOT the bells and whistles, expensive type of automation. It's a simpler, wifi based with smart relay automation that surely has room to grow. The Pentair IntelliConnect is aimed to replace the standard Intermatic T104 (or similar) mechanical time clock. Very simple! The Pentair IntelliConnect IS NOT designed to be installed on more complex pool/spa combos, or equipment with multiple pieces of equipment. It's just designed to work with pool or spa only and 5 devices. Wire your Pentair IntelliFlo communication wires, Pentair IntelliChlor salt system, light, and heater if you have one. You create your account, enter your registration number that's provided right on the inside of the power center... and voila you're connected. Of course, mounting and electrical from each piece of the equipment will need to be completed first! The "advanced" capabilities that render this automation promising and closer to Google, Amazon, and other automation devices are these 3 simple items...
If you have a simple set-up, pool or spa ONLY. with 5 devices or less. you may want to look into the IntelliConnect. You'll be able to control your system from your mobile device. Operate your equipment without having to go the the equipment panel at night. And be able to view status and alerts right from your mobile device. Expect to pay anywhere from $500.00 to $700.00 for installation, a wide gap from the $2,500.00-$4,500.00 for most complete, higher-end pool automation installs. If you do have a pool/spa combo or want something with more customization... check out the Pentair IntelliCenter (new), Pentair IntelliTouch (the predecessor bul ultra reliable) to the IntelliCenter, Pentair EasyTouch and EasyTouch PL4. All systems work great, they just need to be fit with your needs and pool equipment requirements. If you have any questions on which system is best for your pool equipment, you can contact anyone at Love Pool Care. We sell, program, repair, and install any type of automation from Pentair, Zodiac/Jandy, or Hayward.
