Frequently Asked
Questions
Q. What is required of me to start weekly pool
service?
A. Arizona Pool Pros, LLC (APP) asks all clients to fill
out and sign a Month-to-Month Service Agreement to begin
weekly pool service. The Service Agreement outlines the
responsibilities of APP and the client. Our Observed
Holidays and Company Policies also are linked below.
Q. Are pop-up
cleaners better than a pool vacuum cleaner?
A. Pop-up cleaners
can be very effective at keeping a pool clean, but only
if the pop-up system was properly designed. Most
homeowners decide to spend more money on how the pool
looks rather than how the pool works. This is a bad idea
if you are installing a pop-up system since poorly
designed pop-up systems will result in dead zones, where
dirt settles, or pop-ups being placed too far apart from
each other to effectively clean the pool.
I am often asked which I would install if I were
building a pool. This question unfortunately is affected
by literally dozens of variables such as how many and
what type of trees, bushes, etc will be around the pool;
is the home located near an open field, desert, or
construction area; will there be rocks or grass around
the pool; and so on. In most cases, I would install a
pop-up system but I would make certain that the pop-ups
are not spaced more than 8 feet from each other and that
all pop-ups are properly located on steps, benches,
under tables and between submerged stools. I would do
this even if this setup required additional plumbing or
additional pop-up gear boxes. This setup gives the pool
the best and most efficient cleaning system possible and
the result is a very clean pool.
Don't forget that the spa also needs to be cleaned and
should also have its own set of pop-ups and preferably
an automatic valve for the spa drain that will suck the
dirt/debris out of the spa. Again, this setup will cost
more, but what is the point of a good looking pool/spa
area if the bottom of the pool and spa are always
covered with dirt? In the event that your pool will be
surrounded by trees or other plants with large foliage
amounts then I would recommend that you install a system
that can handle the high debris loads. Call us at
