7 Expert Pool Care Tips for Arizona Homeowners

7 Residential Pool Maintenance Tips Arizona Homeowners Need This Summer
  Tempe, United States - May 3, 2026 / Pelican Pools, LLC / 
  
Pelican Pools, a family-owned pool service company co-founded by Drew Billings and Eric Knowles, has released a structured guide of seven expert pool care tips aimed at helping Arizona homeowners protect their pools during the region's demanding summer season. The release draws on more than 40 years of combined industry experience serving communities across the East Valley, including Gilbert, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, Queen Creek, Ahwatukee, and South Scottsdale.
From Hockey Teammates to Pool Care Experts
Billings and Knowles met as teammates on a hockey team and carried that same collaborative approach into building Pelican Pools. The company has built its reputation on honest, straightforward service for residential clients throughout Arizona's East Valley. With summer temperatures consistently exceeding 110 degrees Fahrenheit across the region, the co-founders say pool owners face a narrow window each year to get their maintenance routines right before heat stress compounds existing problems.
"Arizona summers are unforgiving on pool equipment and water chemistry, and we see the consequences every season when pools are neglected even for a week or two," said Drew Billings, Co-Founder of Pelican Pools. "Our goal with these seven tips is to give homeowners a practical framework so they can avoid the three most common and costly problems we respond to: algae blooms, pump failures, and chemical imbalances."
Seven Tips for Residential Pool Maintenance Arizona Homeowners Should Follow
1. Test and balance water chemistry at least twice per week during summer. Arizona heat accelerates chemical burn-off. Proper pH levels should sit between 7.4 and 7.6, while chlorine levels should be maintained between 1.0 and 3.0 parts per million. Imbalanced water leads to skin irritation, equipment corrosion, and algae growth.
2. Brush pool walls and floors weekly. Algae spores attach to surfaces before they become visible. Regular brushing disrupts early-stage growth and prevents the conditions that turn a pool green seemingly overnight.
3. Skim the surface daily. Debris such as leaves, insects, and dust accumulates quickly in Arizona's dry climate. Organic material left in the water depletes chlorine and accelerates chemical imbalance.
4. Inspect and clean the filter regularly. Cartridge filters should be rinsed every two to four weeks during peak season. Sand and DE filters require backwashing when pressure readings rise 8 to 10 PSI above the normal baseline. A clogged filter reduces circulation and strains the pump.
5. Monitor pump and equipment performance. Unusual sounds, irregular pressure readings, or visible leaks at fittings are early warning signs. Addressing equipment issues promptly prevents minor repairs from becoming full replacements. Arizona's heat shortens the tolerance window for equipment running under stress.
6. Recognize early signs of algae. A pool turning green is not a cosmetic issue - it signals a chemical and circulation failure that becomes progressively harder and more expensive to reverse. Cloudiness, slippery walls, and a faint green or yellow tint are indicators that require immediate attention.
7. Prepare equipment specifically for Arizona summer heat. This includes checking that pump timers run during early morning and evening hours to reduce heat stress, verifying that water levels remain consistent to prevent pump cavitation, and confirming that all seals and O-rings are intact before peak season begins.
Why Professional Weekly Maintenance Matters in the East Valley
Pelican Pools offers scheduled residential pool maintenance Arizona homeowners across the East Valley rely on throughout the year. The company emphasizes that professional weekly service visits catch problems that homeowners often miss, including early equipment wear, chemical drift caused by heavy bather loads, and filter inefficiencies that develop gradually.
The team at Pelican Pools serves Gilbert, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, Queen Creek, Ahwatukee, and South Scottsdale with a consistent, relationship-based approach to pool care. The company's structure as a family-owned business means customers work directly with experienced technicians rather than rotating contractors - a distinction Billings and Knowles say reflects the same trust-based culture they developed on the ice.
Eric Knowles, Co-Founder of Pelican Pools, noted that the company has responded to hundreds of green pool service calls each summer season, the majority of which stem from gaps in routine maintenance rather than equipment failure.

East Valley Pool Company Built on 40+ Years of Combined Experience

Two Former Hockey Teammates Launch Pool Service Company Serving Tempe, Gilbert, and Beyond
  Tempe, United States - May 3, 2026 / Pelican Pools, LLC / 
  
Pelican Pools, the family-owned pool service company co-founded by Drew Billings and Eric Knowles, officially marks its expansion across the East Valley with a broadened service footprint covering Gilbert, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, Queen Creek, Ahwatukee, and South Scottsdale. The move formalizes what the company has built since 2020 - a residential pool service operation rooted in a friendship that started not in business, but on the ice.
 
From Hockey Teammates to Business Partners
 
Billings and Knowles first met as teammates on a hockey team, where the values of discipline, accountability, and working toward a shared goal defined their dynamic. Those same principles became the foundation of Pelican Pools when the two co-founders decided to channel their combined decades of hands-on industry experience into a business of their own. Between them, Billings and Knowles bring more than 40 years of combined experience in pool service and maintenance - a depth of knowledge that shapes how every job is approached, from routine weekly visits to complex equipment overhauls.
"We started Pelican Pools in 2020 with a straightforward goal - give homeowners across the East Valley the kind of reliable, honest service that is hard to find," said Drew Billings, Co-Founder of Pelican Pools. "Eric and I have over 40 years of combined experience between us, and we built this company around the same values we learned playing hockey together: show up, do the work, and never let your teammate down."
 
A Full Range of Services Designed for East Valley Homeowners
 
Pelican Pools operates as a comprehensive residential pool service provider, offering weekly pool maintenance, water chemistry balancing, equipment diagnostics and repair, pump and filter replacement, pool draining and cleaning, and green-to-clean recovery for neglected or algae-affected pools. The company also handles pool remodels and upgrades as well as automation installs for homeowners looking to modernize how they manage their pool systems.
For homeowners searching for dependable pool service Tempe AZ residents can rely on, Pelican Pools has built its reputation on showing up consistently and communicating clearly. The company provides written estimates before any work begins, documents jobs with before-and-after photos, and delivers invoices by email - practices designed to keep customers informed at every stage of the process.
 
Transparency and Reliability as Operational Standards
 
The commitment to transparency at Pelican Pools is not a marketing position - it is baked into the company's daily workflow. Customers receive detailed documentation of what was found, what was done, and what it cost, without surprises. This approach has helped the company build a consistent client base across its service territory, which now spans some of the most active residential pool markets in the Phoenix metropolitan area.
Eric Knowles, Co-Founder of Pelican Pools, emphasized that the company's service structure was intentionally designed to reflect what they wished had been available to homeowners long before they started the business. The team services pools across Gilbert, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, Queen Creek, Ahwatukee, and South Scottsdale, with scheduling and communication handled directly by the owners and their crew - not a call center.
 
Serving the East Valley with a Family-Owned Approach
 
As a family-owned business, Pelican Pools keeps decision-making close to the people doing the work. That structure means customers are not passed between departments or left waiting on responses from someone who has never seen their pool. The co-founders remain directly involved in operations, which they credit as a key reason customer satisfaction has remained high since the company launched in 2020.
The expanded service footprint reinforces Pelican Pools' position as a go-to option for pool service Tempe AZ and surrounding communities, with a team that treats each property with the same attention they would bring to their own. From green-to-clean recovery projects to full pool remodels, the company continues to take on work that other providers may defer or subcontract - handling it in-house with the expertise built over four combined decades in the industry.
