SwimHappy certainly lives up to its name, as clients enjoy safe, well-maintained pools. Much of that is thanks to the team’s meticulous work and expert repairs or installation of filter pumps, heaters, and automation systems. 

Together with many homeowners, we’ve seen the impressive results in their detailed service reports that include before-and-after photos. On top of that, pool technicians arrive on time and clearly communicate the job to be done. 

All these perks apply in SwimHappy’s weekly service plans, which start at $95. What’s more, the full cost breakdowns are just as transparent as the prices listed on their website, including the $150-per-hour rate for complex pool white-glove maintenance.

One thing to note is their approach to green, cloudy pools and algae control. While most staff handle these issues well, a few have been observed leaving them unresolved after only a brief check or saying they won’t be back due to labor shortages. 

I couldn’t have been happier with the finished work 

“I called ‘SwimHappy Pool Service & Repair’ and I am glad I did. I needed 2 new timers to activate the pool filter pumps, and a small leak in the piping fixed. I emailed a couple of pictures to give the Pool Manager an idea of the job. The repair was scheduled for the next day, and the estimate quoted was very reasonable. The Service Technician (Brady) was very courteous, professional and knowledgeable. He fully explained the repairs, and went right to work. He provided additional information, as well and completed the job in short order. I couldn’t have been happier with the finished work. SwimHappy is now my ‘go to’ Pool Company. I recommend them highly. Thank you Brady!”

The pool never looked better, and the after-service report is an added bonus

“Excellent pool service, pool never looked better. The after service report is added bonus, knowing the pool just doesn’t look good but is good and safe to swim in. The text prior to arrival is a game changer!”

Many homeowners have been weekly customers at Aqua Shine for 1 to several years. A big reason for this loyalty is the consistent team, from friendly, thorough technicians to responsive customer service. 

For them, pool cleaning also means full restoration, equipment updates, and repairs. It’s also why some real estate agents recommend them to clients and family, citing the company’s utmost level of service. 

Rates are available upon request. Many say they offer good value for money, but we found the $330–$457 range for two months of maintenance pricey. This is especially true when unnecessary tasks, like reworking a functioning filter, are added.

On the bright side, Aqua Shine’s pool acid washes and muck-outs leave people impressed every time. Their “from green to clean” promise really delivers, something those struggling with heavy algae appreciate the most. 

They have always been quite professional and responsive

“I have had the pleasure of utilizing the services of Aqua Shine Pool Services for about 11years. They have always been quite professional and responsive. Recently the light inside my pool malfunctioned, burned out and the whole fixture (new wiring included) needed replacing. Service technician, Tanner came to evaluate, got bid options for replacement and installed within a 4 day period. Thank you so very much Tanner. Your expertise have been stellar and exemplary over the years of caring for my pool. 👍🏼”

A pool cleaning service you can rely on 

“Aqua Shine has been taking care of our pool service and maintenance for the past year, and we love this company. We’ve needed a few repairs here and there, and they’re always responsive and efficient! They also did a great job installing a new heater when our old one started malfunctioning. It’s so nice to have a pool cleaning service you can rely on.”

Trusted by over 1,000 homes across Phoenix and nearby cities, Orange Tree Pool Service’s experience speaks for itself. That’s more than 10 years of weekly cleaning, equipment repairs, chemical balancing, and pool draining. 

They have a team of more than 15 employees, each bringing over 5 years of experience. 

The repair department is armed with some of the valley’s finest and most experienced technicians who are specialists in plumbing, electrical, and equipment installation

Still, some have raised concerns about improperly managed water chemistry, with high chlorine levels reportedly causing skin irritation and bloodshot eyes. Fortunately, staff are on hand day and night to address such problems right away. 

Moreover, even though prices aren’t listed online, homeowners we spoke to praised the fair and honest pricing. Not to mention the initiative to schedule special services, like cartridge cleaning, when needed. 

My pool turned from terrible, algae green, into a clean pool 

“Excellent and professional service. The technician drained, cleaned pool and filter then filled it and balanced the chemicals. My pool turned from terrible algae green into clear and clean pool. See pictures of before and after. Really happy with the service. Cost was also very reasonable. I’ll use Orange Tree Pool Service again.”

Whenever I have a question or need additional services, their response is quick 

“We’ve been using Orange Tree Pool Service since 2019 and our pool has been running perfect w/no issues.  Water has been crisp, clear, and just like the first day we’ve had it. They come 1x a week and never miss a date. If for some rare occurrence such as a holiday or last minute changes, they email and let me know. They also send me reports of pool stats/info after every cleaning. But I think the best part is the communication. Whenever I have a question or need additional services, their response is quick and each of their team members are very courteous and explained to me what to expect, and each step they are doing (draining/filling/cleaning). I’ve referred some close friends over to OTPS, and they are all very happy! A+”

Pool surface brushing, equipment checks, and tailored chemical treatments are among the tasks covered under McCallum’s weekly service. Each is performed so meticulously that pools come out clean and sparkling, according to homeowners. 

Backed by 80 years of combined experience, the team doesn’t stop there. They also carry out repairs and upgrades expertly, resulting in resort-like pools year-round or just in time for swim season. 

Beyond the quality of work, clients point to owner John McCallum, whose integrity and prompt responses set the tone for his technicians. This became evident to us in the timely, reasonable quotes provided, which help offset the lack of online pricing. 

Another highlight is that they also serve commercial properties, including gyms and private clubs. A handful of business owners, however, noted occasional tardiness, which affected project timelines. 

They keep our pool clean and sparkling year-round and do excellent repairs

“Great and reliable service! They keep our pool clean and sparkling year round and do excellent repairs on our pool and fountain equipment. I highly recommend them.”

Professional from the site visit through meticulous completion of the work

“McCallum representatives were very professional from site visit to repair proposal through meticulous completion of the work. Went through all pool settings and checked equipment not part of the work. Highly impressed and did not feel at any time we were being sold services not needed. This company was a referral from friends and we would not think twice about referring them on to our friends. Very knowledgeable and respective company!!”

Proudly serving Phoenix since 2002, AZ’s Best Pool Service & Repair, LLC does everything from routine maintenance to emergency repairs. And clients vouch for how seriously the friendly pool technicians take the job. 

By ‘seriously,’ we mean ensuring chemicals are properly balanced, pool surfaces are made algae-free, and inquiries are answered promptly. 

Workers Jerry, Kirk, and Bryan receive special mentions for meeting these standards. Yet in a few cases, assigned teams were reported to spend only five minutes on-site, leaving the pool still filled with debris. 

The good news is that for equipment replacements or installations, such as a heater or salt system, they recommend the affordable option, helping clients save money. The team has also provided certified installation for major brands (Pentair, Hayward, Jandy). 

On top of that, the company is licensed, bonded, and insured.

Had someone at the house with an accurate and fair price estimate immediately

“I knew I needed a new spa gas heater and basically got the run around with several potential providers. Jerry responded immediately and had someone at the house with an accurate and fair price estimate immediately. He even found an open box heater that saved me money (I know because I checked). Here’s the bottom line. You can tell a good service provider by the care in which they contact and reply to you. Being a small business, Jerry gets this and knows how to respond with truthful answers. No one asked me to review the outstanding service I received but I am compelled to leave a positive review. Don’t even hesitate using AZ Best Pool Service!!!”

Mike Frank, Google Review

Very serious about making sure chemicals and water are right

“AZ Best pool service is truly the best. If an issue or questions about my pool comes up I just call Jerry and we get the issue resolved quickly. Jerry, Kirk and Bryan are great to work with. Bryan does the weekly pool cleaning and is very serious about making sure chemicals and water are right and pool is cleaned. Thanks guys!”
