Pool Service in Chandler, AZ

Chandler sits right beside Gilbert, where Arizona Aqua Pools is based. We bring pool service to Chandler homes every week, from the cleaning to the repairs. Chandler's water and its pool rules have a few details worth knowing, and we've laid them out below.

Pool Service in Chandler, Week In and Week Out

A weekly pool service visit in Chandler starts at the surface and works down. Leaves come off the top, the walls and steps get brushed, and the floor gets vacuumed. We empty the skimmer and pump baskets, balance the chemicals and check the equipment.

If something breaks between visits, call us. A pump that won't prime, a heater that won't light or a salt cell that's stopped making chlorine all fall under pool repair.

Chandler's Water Runs 10 to 17 Grains Hard

The City of Chandler's 2025 drinking water report lists total hardness from 173 to 288 milligrams per liter. That's about 10.1 to 16.8 grains per gallon. Either end of that range counts as hard water.

In a pool, that hardness doesn't go away. Evaporation concentrates it, and each refill adds more. Left alone, it shows up as scale on tile, in the heater and on the salt cell plates. Keeping the pH and alkalinity in the right zone slows that scale down. So we test every week and adjust for it.

Three Treatment Sources Feed Chandler Taps

Chandler's 2025 report names three sources. The Pecos Water Treatment Plant treats Salt River, Verde River and Colorado River water, plus SRP well water, delivered by the Consolidated Canal. The city ran 27 groundwater wells in 2025. The Santan Vista plant, which Chandler owns jointly with Gilbert, treats Colorado River water from the Central Arizona Project.

Different sources carry different minerals. A pool topped off in one season can drift in a new direction the next. Weekly testing is how we keep up with it.

Chandler Pool Fence Rules Worth Knowing

Chandler's pool fencing page says the fence must be at least six feet high and no more than seven. Pedestrian gates have to be self-closing and self-latching. The latch has to sit more than 54 inches above the ground. No opening can let a 4-inch ball pass through.

We're there every week, so we see the gate and fence too. If a gate stops latching on its own, we'll let you know.

Draining a Chandler Pool

Chandler says drained pool water must stay on your property or go into the sanitary sewer cleanout. No permit is needed. The city asks for a flow of no more than 12 gallons per minute. A pipe built to send pool water off the lot counts as a direct connection to the storm drain, and that's not allowed.

The city's water report adds that draining pool water into the street is prohibited by city code. Chandler also doesn't give a discount on the water used to refill a pool. That's one more reason to keep your water balanced so a drain isn't needed often.

Is Chandler's water hard enough to matter for my pool?

Yes. The city's 2025 report puts it at about 10 to 17 grains per gallon. That's enough to build calcium at the waterline and in the heater if the water isn't balanced.

What do I need to know before draining my pool in Chandler?

Keep the water on your property or send it to your sewer cleanout at 12 gallons per minute or less. No permit is needed. The street and storm drains are off limits.
