DO NOT USE AFRICAN SUN! They are not only poor at communicating when issues arise, but they are extremely unprofessional. I was a customer since 2022 and their service started out well, but has been degrading over the past year. Attached are pictures 3 hours after they "cleaned" my pool. Additionally, they blame the size of my sand filter as being too small for the size of my pool. They were the ones who recommended and installed the filter! I'll let the text messages show their level of service. Normally, I don't make posts or reviews. However, their response to my cancelling service is not professional nor warranted. read more

I put out a simple request for a not so simple fix for our pool. We just had the primary power repaired and get the pool back to swimming order. Got lots of Estimated sight unseen and .these guys were reasonable at a time when other companies charged almost 3 times the amount for start up. They worked with Property Owner and got it running clear blue and purring like a kitten. Thanks again guys. I have dropped your name to 7 acquaintances. read more

The owner came out and discussed options with me very thoroughly. We decided to go with them because they provide chemicals and a full range of services. We've been very happy with our pool person for the last several years. He always arrives about the same time and works quickly. He's always very pleasant. This company is now called Gnarly Pools. read more

I really don't get business culture in Arizona. Pool company was supposed to come out two days ago, then supposedly first thing this morning. 428 pm doorbell rings (sign says not to do so for any reason and anyone who is scheduled knows this) as I was in the middle of an important work conference call. We've had criminal activity in the area as well and extra caution has been advised. I said you need to leave you are trespassing. Any reputable person would identify themselves. And then I get a lovely text from an unknown number. Communication regarding pool issue previous to this was somewhat helpful and I had hoped this would move forward in a good way. This just really shook me up. People's time and communication matter to both sides of the equation in business dealings. read more

Contacted African Sun Pools, they returned my call quickly. Explained my issue which was the installation of a new motor for my booster pump. Set an appointment for the next day, they responded on time and ready to start work. They were very knowledgeable and gave great advice. 40 mins later my motor was installed and my booster pump works great. I will always use them for installation and repair. read more

African Suns Pools - New pool motor for my booster pump. - Pool Cleaners Near Me

Said they were doing checks on the pool however my chlorinator was broken and was bursting water all over the place. When they came back they knew it was broken because I told them, they "warranted it" and over two weeks for the part. They came back to "clean" the pool on the weekly service turned on the pool to have my backyard flood from the leaking chlorinator however they said they checked the equipment and my pool had a reading of 4.4 ppm for free chlorine. However the chlorinator was off for a week so how could true free chlorine be the same reading with no chlorine getting feed into the pool. I checked myself and found it was below 1ppm. Checked the filter baskets and they were not clean. I checked my video recordings and saw they only brushed the side of the pool. They also said they added chlorine tabs and I checked and no tablets were added. read more

They were professional, came on time, got the job done nicely. Will use them again and also recommend their pool service.

Michael was so knowledgeable and was able to give me an accurate diagnosis of my problem over the phone. He gave me options and prices on the spot, and completed the work on time. Great job. read more

Very reliable company. Michael the owner is always there to answer questions, and his team is very transparent if they are running late or need to push out the service to the next day. Chad is the most friendly, and the other cleaning guys are nice as well. Pool always looks clean and the email report after the cleaning are a nice feature. Would recommend using African Suns. read more

Excellent service. Michael was very responsive. He came out during the Thanksgiving week when they were closed to take care of this issue for us. read more

My pool pump stopped working and being that we live in Arizona and it is hot, it needed to get addressed right away. I created on Yelp to several pool repair companies. African Suns Pools was one of the first to respond. They were able to get out the next day and after taking a look they gave me several options on next steps. I decided rather than repair it ( because it was old) I would replace it. In addition, I wanted to replace my Hayward as well as the pool filler. They were able to come back on the same day and get it all repaired. My pool has never looked so good. read more

Unfortunately, our experience with African Sons Pools left a really bitter taste in our mouths. We were so excited to have them as the people to care for our pool after reading about the truck mounted vacuum system and email communication about chemical status after every visit .. It all seemed very high Tech and professional. The first couple weeks all of those things happened and in fact, we hired them to go above and beyond normal pool care , we also hired them to do some expensive equipment replacement and care ( over $3000! ) I won't go into all the particulars , but let's just say that there were issues that we kept kindly asking them to come back to fix and the attitude of the owner was not just arrogant, but rude with his communications like we were being unreasonable to expect it to be working as it should. He actually kept adding things on saying we needed a new thing to make things work right... there was just terrible communication but we assumed there was just human misdiagnosis and always gave the green light to give the benefit of the doubt .. One of the things that they touted was having experienced pool techs, and even though our pool tech was a nice guy, he was openly verbal about the fact he had never worked on pools before and didn't know anything about them... We tried several times to rectify the situation about the leaks coming from a newly installed salt cell but rather than want to do everything, he could to help rectify the situation the last email we got after we said, we no longer would be needing their services because of the things outlined above (including realizing that our pool tech had never vacuumed or backwashed the four months that he was caring for our pool which he admitted the last day we had service and asked about it ) when we mentioned that the pool tech was only ever at our house for about five minutes at a time , the Owners response was " Average pool service stop lasts about 5-7 minutes" How can normal brushing, vacuuming , back washing , skimming and chemical checks be done in 5 minutes??? No, "Gosh I'm so sorry to hear that or how can we rectify that?" Honestly, it was pretty obvious he could care less if we were his clients or not. Sadly he was just rude and very difficult to work with. read more

I've had a wonderful experience working with this company. They are very good at what they do. They've cleaned my pools, serviced them, fixed the equipment, you name it. Ashley has been my main point of contact and has been very pleasant and communicative which is very helpful. Highly recommended! read more

Hoping our relationship is as wonderful as initial contact. They responded quite fast and service was on "the books" --- will follow up with new review regarding actual work, but i have a good feeling read more

Our pool pipe broke on Friday morning we were having a party on Saturday, they were very fast at coming and fixing it within hours thank you so much you guys are the best!!!!!! Thank you Michael and troy !!! read more

Can not recommend them highly enough. I had tried for a month to get my pool back in condition, using recommendations for treatment from Leslie's Pool. It just got worse. They came out immediately, quoted me a reasonable price for treatment 2 times a day for 5 to 7 days. They ended up working on my pool 2-3 times a day for almost 2 weeks without an extra cost. My pool has never looked better. Now have them as regular service for again a good price. And if I have any trouble (like after rains) they come right out and fix it without waiting for my regular schedule. They have changed my sand in my filter, fixed other pool parts, and helped me get a good new vacuum. Great crew! read more

We hired this pool company to service our Air BNB. Through many different "we will will be there ______" day, we finally got them to come and commit to a service day. We had a couple things that needed repair on our pool. They repaired a pump screen with a used part (agreed upon). Every single time they cleaned our pool they'd send a picture of a dirty pool with the "your pool is clean!" title. We were incredibly patient. They said they would fix or repair our vacuum, that never happened. Then they fired us as a customer citing "no longer servicing rentals". Our new pool company went out a week later, only to find a horrendously dirty pool and $5k in items that needed to be repaired, INCLUDING OUR PUMP AND THE PART THEY REPLACED LESS THAN A MONTH AGO. We have no idea if they broke anything but all we know is African Suns is the last company/crew to touch our pump and it is now broken. RUN AWASY FROM THIS COMPANY. Poor communication and all that is listed above. read more

African Suns Pools are great. We needed a pool railing and found them listed on Nextdoor. The part had to be ordered, it arrived and was installed within the promised 2 week estimate. We are very pleased with Mike and teams work, its all complete, looks great and can be used within 24 hours. An excellent experience and highly recommended. read more

We were in dire need of extensive pool services. African Sun's contacted me immediately, within 5 minutes of my broadcast out to several companies. In addition to immediate contact, they came out the very next day, gave a quote with very reasonable and realistic prices- not inflated like so many others. They then scheduled the work and completed the work as promised. No delays or reschedules, etc. The work performed was stellar- outstanding. Exceeded my expectations and I have very high expectations. I decided to hire them for routine weekly service and they are ALWAYS there on our Wednesday service day and do again, an exceptional job. Our assigned person also has THE BEST personality. Friendly, easy going yet he's thorough and quick. Again, they EXCEED my expectations. I absolutely highly recommend African Sun's. You will NOT be disappointed- I promise. ​​​ read more

Michael is very knowledgeable about pool care and equipment. He kept us informed on the service needs and schedule. They arrived on time and did quality work at a great price. We'll use them again. read more

Love the automation. You get a confirmation right away about your inquiry. I received a call about 15 minutes later to set an appointment. Moments later got a text to confirm. Michael came out he was on time. Great price for a new pool pump and filter. Proposal sent via text, you accept and pay via your phone. Very smooth process. I read more

Professional and value for money. They rebuild our pool pump also fixed our auto fill valve. All works good

Our pool motor stopped working and the team at African Suns Pools was out within the next couple of days. It was a quick evaluation and the install of a new motor was within the next week! read more

Just had a 20+ year old pump swapped out for a new one by Michael at African Suns Pools at a rental property after a single stage motor that I'd previously swapped failed -- I looked for a contractor near the property because I was hoping to get the work done sooner rather than scheduling out, and Michael returned my call on the weekend outside of normal business hours. These guys are awesome and I'd highly recommend. I've had a pool redone, replaced a few motors myself, had my own pump swapped out years ago, and can honestly say that Michael and his team are total pros... In and out, super knowledgeable, reliable, honest and straightforward and competitive pricing. Communication was great and Michael provided flexibility and worked with me to offer a few different pump options and their tradeoffs, and once it was time to install, the work was done professionally (understatement), the area clean, and a video link was provided showing the completed job and pool running perfectly. Very glad that I saw the earlier great reviews on Yelp and reached out, and will keep Michael/African Suns Pools in my contacts for future pool needs and happy to refer friends and colleagues... total pros. read more

I spoke with Ashley first & then Michael came by the next day to discuss our needs for beginning weekly full service for our family pool. They were both awesome, professional & friendly. Daniel is our weekly servicer. He is very friendly as well. He is quick, sweeps faster than I can get a bottle water. from my refrigerator. Haven't been able to confirm if he is cleaning the leave baskets, since he's so fast and there doesn't seem to be any air in the lines (expect a little). All in all I could greatly recommend this company. read more

I just hired them because I have had ongoing issues with my pool. Multiple pool companies have not been able to resolve it. Others were going to charge me a ton of money, but that's the same company who made a prior error. African Sun Pools was the first vendor to diagnose what the actual issue is and is going to fix it for far less than I was quoted. As they seem helpful and knowledgeable, I'm moving all of my pool service to them. read more

My pump motor went out on Sunday, July 3rd. With a 3 day holiday, I was not expecting to hear from anyone, but African Suns reached out and set up an appt for Tuesday. They gave me several options for the repair; ordered the parts and it was installed today. The entire team was very responsive and their prices were extremely reasonable. I'd highly recommend this company. read more

Put out a few messages on Yelp for estimates to replace our pool pump. African Suns pools responded within hours. A representative was out within two days to give a free estimate. Was a reasonable price for the service so decided to hire this company. Two days later they installed new pool pump. Everyone involved was courteous, informative , and professional. So happy to find them! read more

Excellent service!! Same day estimate with initial contact. Repair complete exactly as estimated by a very competent and communicative technician. Highly recommended. read more

We hired African Suns to replace the media in our large, rather imposing pool filter. Johnny, our tech, found that a part was broken. Michael, the owner, headed over with a replacement part, and they both worked to get the filter up and running. I expected an upcharge, but there was none! It is wonderful to find contractors who care more about a quality job than the payment, and African Sun is one of those rare companies that goes the extra mile. We will be using them for all our pool needs from now on. Highly recommended! read more

Definitely recommend these guys. Great professional, well priced ... And worked in a timely manner .

Mike and his team provided top quality work. I will recommend this company to everyone I know. It's refreshing to know there are companies like this that value their customers and take pride in providing exceptional workmanship. He goes above and beyond to make sure everything is working properly. And Mike always answers his phone or will call you back ASAP. Best pool service I've ever had. read more

Called to get a quote to get my pool back in working condition since it turned green. Michael came out the same day and within 2 days my pool was bluest & cleanest I had ever seen. Not only that but he ended up quoting me lower then the other 2 pool guys I had. read more

I have a background in swimming pools having worked in the retail side for a few years. Having not worked in the field though I decided to contact a pro to have some overhaul work done on the pool equipment at our recently purchased house. I decided to try African Suns after the first guy I tried obviously did not want my business. Michael told me on his first trip out that no one would work harder for me -- Michael wound up replacing quite a bit of my above ground pvc plumbing and the housing on one of my pumps. -- After seeing him work I absolutely agree, no one will work harder to make sure the job is done correctly and efficiently. I also truly appreciate that he gives honest, logical recommendations on what to repair / replace. I have already given his card out multiple times to people I know and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an honest, hard working, and fairly priced pool service professional -- not every guy with a blue pole and a bucket of chlorine in the back of his pickup truck who calls himself a "pool guy" is a pool professional, I am confident that Michael truly is; and African Suns is a cut above the rest. Will definitely use again. read more
