What should I do today if my pool pump stopped working?
Turn off the pump at its breaker to avoid burning out the motor, and check that the pool is not losing water fast. Call during business hours so a local pro can call back within the hour. Ask for a Spanish-speaking contact when you call.
Who is qualified to repair a pool pump in Arizona?
Pool service and repair work falls under Arizona's C-6 Swimming Pool Service and Repair license. More extensive pool contracting falls under A-09 Swimming Pools. Pump electrical work is typically handled by a licensed and insured electrician.
How do I verify a pool pro before hiring?
Ask the pro for proof of licence and insurance before any work starts. Check the license classification on the Arizona Registrar of Contractors list. Confirm the license covers the exact work in your quote.
What should I ask for in the quote?
Ask for a written quote that itemizes the pump diagnostic, parts, and labor. Confirm whether a same-day quote is available, since many Tempe pool services can provide one. Get the timeline for the repair in writing.
What to do next
