The owner of this company, Rod, got right back to me within minutes. I was a little panicked because my pool wasn't operating properly and I was about to have a large pool party. Despite the fact it was after hours (evening before the party), Rod actually spent 20 minutes with me via FaceTime to diagnose the problem, assist me with repairing a valve and priming a pump. He provided me with specific instructions and he was able to get everything working again all via FaceTime. HE DIDNT CHARGE ME ANYTHING! He was sympathetic to my time critical situation, and he genuinely wanted to be helpful. He would not accept any money despite my insistence. You just don't see this type of authentic integrity anymore. Excellent work ethic, extremely knowledgeable, quick response, and he didn't feel right charging me simply because he wasn't there in person. The FaceTime instruction was extremely educational and his thorough step-by-step guidance was spot on. He was very patient with me. Other companies said it would be $475 just to come out and take a look. This is the only company I will use for all my future pool service needs. Hard to find people like Rod these days. Thank you!!! read more

Completely left me hanging, told me someone would be out for a repair, no one showed up. Didn't even let me know someone would not be coming out and completely ignored text messages when I reached out for updates. Terrible communication, completely unreliable. There are hundreds of pool companies. Don't waste your time with this one. read more

A couple weeks ago, I needed my sand filter recharged. Island life responsive to my quote requests and many questions (who knew there were so many variables to a sand filter recharge?) In the end, they were also super flexible with my schedule and needs. They did a fantastic job and answered all my questions while here, even going so far as to explain all the parts and operation of the sand filter midway through the process. I appreciate all the help, flexibility and information! read more

Best experience I have ever had with a pool company. Service call was the most informative. Lloyd cane out for a service call and was clearly very knowledge and with a lot of experience. Got the pool programmed and figured out my issue within a few minutes. Would definitely use them again. read more

I was having problems with my above ground spa heater blowing fuses. Mike was dispatched for repair and did an excellent in trouble shooting the problem using a wiring and switch table and re-worked the motherboard settings. Problem solved so far with excellent customer service provided by Mike. Thanks, Wayne read more

Service was okay. Price was okay. But when I tried to get ahold of them, it was only via email, not a huge fan. I just gave them a heads up about something and the pool guy treated me like I was annoyance. Then didn't clean the pool for the weekly service. I'm not a big fan of babysitting so I just let them go unfortunately. read more

I've had great service over the years! Rod, the owner, truly cares about his customers and delivering quality services. Communication has been smooth and easy, my pool looks great! The one and only time I had an issue, it was handled with care and given prompt attention. I'll be recommending them to friends and family, if they are still taking new clients! read more

Island Life Pools & Spas - Pool draining with pump. (About 6hrs) - Pool Cleaners Near Me

Never experienced a business that you have to hunt down to return to compete the repairs they recommended. The worst communication ever. I had questions and responded to texts I received from multiple phone numbers but was completely ignored. Don't waste your time with this company. There are many solid companies to choose from that will value your time and business. After Rod's response: Not surprised you say you don't know who I am. I spoke to you twice, you sent Aaron out to diagnose the issue (I did like Aaron and felt he was helpful). Since the initial appt. Aaron never got back to me or respond to my texts. I then called you Rod again and you told me to text you at the business number I called. I did so with you never responding. This have taken over 3 weeks. Would love to share the multiple texts that you or Aaron never replied to but I wasted enough time with you as it is. Good luck running a business. read more

Nathan came and installed the A&A actuator valve seamlessly. The new valve is working great and not leaking one bit. I submitted a request through Yelp and Rod answered me immediately. I was able to schedule within a few days and his price for the job was very fair. Thanks Rod and Nathan for the tremendous work on my pool pump. I definitely recommend the guys from Island Life Pools read more

Quick call back after leaving a message. Was out within 1 business day to assess the problem and back the next day with the parts to fix the problem. Very reasonable rate on the repair of the equipment. Will definitely use them again in the future. read more

Excellent service! Helped me in a pinch. Veteran discount 10%. Would definitely recommend! Thank you

I hate to rain on a parade, but have had bad experiences with this business. Particularly bad is the owner Rod Zervakos. Only interested in money. Does not care if the repair was done right or wrong. Sends me 4 late notices in one week over payment and I told him before I got the first one that the repair needed to be finished, then I would pay him. Simply doesn't care and sends them anyhow. The tech was a decent guy and completed most of the work but disappeared without finishing and didn't even say goodbye. I had told him of the need to complete things not 5 minutes earlier. So I began communicating with Rod. I simply tell him that the job isn't complete and someone needs to come out to finish. It was like getting blood from a turnip. All kinds of excuses and reasons why this can't be done. I ultimately called out someone else to finish. If you are an idiot about pools, this company is for you. If you pay for a job not complete or done wrong (It was initially done wrong but corrected), this company is for you. If you merely want the job done right and completed, and don't want to pay until it is done right or completed, this is not the company for you. read more

Switched to Island Life pools a few years ago after previous company's staff would not consistently show up. Or if they did, they do about 4 min of work and leave. Using Island Life has been night and day experience. They are punctual, always communicative and go out of their way to explain. We have company coming to stay the weekend so were looking forward to using our pool only to discover that our heater wasn't working. A quick email to their offices and someone was out in about an hour. Problem solved. They are always like this, can email or call and they are right on it. Highly recommend. read more

I have unfortunately had to go through a few pool service organizations but finally found the right one. I have been with Island Life Pools & Spas now for a few years and am VERY happy with the service. Communication between scheduling, my SUPERB service tech Brian and myself. My pool is always clear/blue. Every week I receive check-in/out updates showing when the tech arrives and leaves my property along with photos of my pool and service details. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in Phoenix with a pool. This is an A+ company. read more

In the relatively short time we have been with Island Pools we could not be more pleased. Our tech is Oscar who aside from being a very pleasant individual is also extremely knowledgeable on all the equipment we have and took the time to explain what functions the various valves and pumps perform. Highly recommend as 5 star rating indicates. read more

Rod responded very quickly to my request for help in reviving my pool light. He texted in advance with good questions and scheduled to come out. He quickly diagnosed the problem, provided a very reasonable quote, and scheduled the repair once I agreed. Rod was punctual, professional, communicative, and pleasant. We now have a functioning pool light! Now I know who to call if there's ever anything wrong with my pool. Thank you Rod! read more

Island Life Pools & Spas - Pool Cleaners Near Me

I've had a pool for 5 years and every year I managed it myself. Prior to using Island life I had a green pool every year. My pool is small so it gets green fast! This year I let Ed take care of it for me and it never got green! Happy we made it through the hot months without a single problem. He also worked with me on my not-so-great filter. Thanks Ed! Also I saw a review about them not liking dogs- absolutely not true, I have two dogs and have never had an issue. read more

We got our pump replaced and pool acid washed. The whole experience was pretty seamless. Rod provided the quote up front and then we worked out a time. From there, we got heads up texts from the tech when he was headed over each day. After the job was done we had some questions about how things were working and what to expect with the new pump and our tech came back out and walked us through everything. read more

We have used Island Life Pools & Spas for the last two years. Jeff Christopher is our tech and cleans and services our pools weekly. He's reliable, friendly, and always makes sure that our pool is looking beautiful! Jeff, thanks for always cleaning all the extra mesquite leaves up after a big storm. If an extra treatment or replacement part is needed, Island Life Pools & Spas sends over an email thoroughly explaining the need, cost, and waits for my approval before moving forward. They are prompt, professional, and very dependable. I would recommend this company to anyone in the valley who needs a reliable and affordable pool service. read more

We've been using Island Life Pools & Spas for almost 10 years. Rod is amazing and goes above and beyond in customer service. He always makes himself available for my needs and will even FaceTime me on the weekends to show me how to heat my spa! If there is any repair needed, he gives an honest price and gets the job done quickly and properly. His techs have always done an amazing job. Brian has been so great keeping our pool clean. We get many compliments about how clean and sparkling it always looks. Thank you Brian! I highly recommend Island Life Pools & Spas. You won't regret it! Christine read more

Been two weeks, so far so good. Pool's clean and clear, can't ask for much more. I'll give an update on down the road.

Five stars. Needed a pool pump replaced and had it completed the following day. Rod was extremely helpful and diligent, even took an after hours phone call from me to coordinate the repair time, educate me on the process, and take my questions. Aaron did a quality job on the install. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, and just excellent in general to work with. 100% will be utilizing this company again. They just gained a new customer. Troy read more

Tech Brian is the BEST! He is so knowledgable, so helpful, and so kind. Our pool has never been this crystal clear. I just really appreciate the fact that Brian explains everything prior and is very clear about the process and everything he's doing. I love being informed. I recommend him to everyone! -Mike read more

I'm so glad I found Island life pools & spas. I'm new to town and my first pool service was terrible. They would sit in their car out front and send me a GPS saying they had come, yet they never went into my backyard. I know this because I have a code on my gate to get in the back yard that they never once used it. I love the fact that we have the same technician every week. Thanks so much Jeff. Jeff is here at the same time every Thursday and does a fantastic job maintaining the pool. He really understands customer service. He is always in a great mood and he is fun to chat with. Thanks Island Life and Jeff. read more

Our pool service has been nothing but fantastic. Jeff C has been coming to our house for quite some time. For the cost of monthly service with Island Life and weekly visits, it's so worth it to know that it's handled and I know my pool won't turn green like it did when I took care of it myself! I really can count of Jeff to keep this pool sparkling blue and clean! read more

Absolutely best pool service company, bar none. In the three years o f working with pool service providers, I have not come across a better service provider. Called them for a quote for an acid wash and filter replacement, Rod attended the call and provided an appointment immediately. He came in and provided a reasonable estimate and priced the parts at a nominal rate. He came in the next day, complete the work over the course of three days, always on time, leaving the work area impeccable. Super easy dealing. I am not going anywhere else. read more

Based mainly on Yelp reviews we decided to hire Island Life Pools & Spas to maintain our pool and system a couple months ago. So far things have gone like clockwork but we have been extremely impressed with our "pool guy" Aaron. During his first visit he went over the entire system with us to make sure we understood how it operates. Ever since he has been absolutely perfect in terms of answering any questions, providing explanations about what he is doing to our pool that day, and keeping the pool immaculate. We don't know what we would do without him! So far we are very impressed with this company and the employees we have been in contact with, and hope to do business with them for many years. read more

Rod responded within 15 minutes of my request for a quote. I had 2 other companies recommend services, but Rod let me know that the services were not necessary. He stated I should call back if I needed help or opinions in the future. I highly recommend using Island Life Pools and Spas. Very honest. read more

So very happy we have this pool service. Jeff is our weekly pool guy. And he is so reliable, respectful,and very capable, taking good care of the pool, so we don't need to worry. The company is honest and locally owned. WhatI really can we ask for? read more

Business is interested in building long term relationships. Prompt response and helpful!

We have been using Island Life Pools and Spas to keep our water blue for the past few years. Rod initially set us up and about a year ago Brian became our servicer. Brian seems to do a great job and is often in and out in minutes. He is courteous and polite and attends to any issues that come up. Really, hiring this company is a no-brainer if you want great service and timely contact when they notice an issue and fix it on the spot if possible. We have even had Rod come over to troubleshoot our robot cleaner and one of the motors, which he replaced for a fair price. In the military we call this type of professional efficiency and reach for excellence a "fire and forget". We know that just like when we shoot our rifles downrange, that round is going to hit the target every time. Island Life Pools and Spas hits the target every time! read more

This relationship started well as they got our chemicals under control and got the water to be consistently clear. However they do not clean the pool at all. Visits are about 8 minutes in length and they do no vacuuming or sweeping. I have these folks on my Rental and they're so bad that even though I'm paying (a lot) for them monthly my tenants want them replaced immediately. They charge extra for everything and they don't tell you when obvious things need repair (tile, pop up heads, etc.) For $120 a month I'd expect at least average. To respond to the owner, our account is under my wife's name. We have been customers for 2+ years now but will cancel at the end of this billing cycle. My tenants clocked your pool attendant at 5 minutes total on property last Friday. We are clearly not getting any effort. read more

Love that they have auto pay!! Hooray for that, and they have a great invoice system, analytics, and the pool looks great! Plus, they come in and they go out, not talking on a phone and being all loud while they work. Yep, this place is great! read more

I do most of my own pool work, but in the last 6 months, I have had pipe leaks, priming issues, filter leak and pump motor blown. All of these items were well above my pay grade. I found Island Life Pools & Spas on Google and Yelp and have had them out 4 times now. First to do some pipe work (because the pump wasn't priming). The second to evaluate the filter leak (from a different pipe and then from the filter itself). The third time was to replace the filter. The fourth time was to replace a blown pump motor (the wiring got wet during the recent storms). Rod, Aaron and Steve are all very professional and knowledgeable. Aaron and Steve both did fantastic work. I would certainly recommend Island Life Pools & Spas to anybody asking for maintenance work with their pools. read more

I spent the last two years, and thousands of dollars working with another pool company trying to maintain my pool. Last year, (2019) the pool was down for half the season due to issues with algae, even after replacing the pump and filter with top of the line equipment. Since switching to Island Life this year I haven't had a single issue, the water has been crystal clear and I haven't had to spend a minute scrubbing algae off the walls, something I had to do daily with the previous company. Brian always texts me when he's on the way, he's awesome with my service dog, he's always smiling and friendly and quick to answer any questions I have. Maintaining a pool has been a stressful, Brian and the Island Life are on track to make it an enjoyable experience this year!! read more

When I began with Island Life Pools and Spa, I had been through a couple of companies and an individual. I returned from a trip, to an algae pond, mosquitoes breeding ground!!! Rod came out and fid a complete check on equipment, pool cleanup, everything!!! He treated me like family and did everything he could to save me money!!! My pool became, and has remained, pristine. Everyone in the company has gone above and beyond to provide OUTSTANDING Service. Once there was a billing glitch and they went above and beyond to correct it! I LOVE this company and would HIGHLY recommend them, not only for their excellent professionalism, but their true concern and care for each client! Thank you so much for being the kind of Family Owned Business I can hold as an example of what a service oriented business SHOULD be!!! read more

Finally, pool personnel who are reliable and knowledgeable about salt systems and pools. They identified and applied solutions to multiple problems and when a solution didn't work the first time, they researched and consulted until they found the correct action, keeping me in the loop along the way. This and friendly and efficient staff makes me sure I've found the right pool service. read more

I hired this pool company due to the 5 star rating that it had, sadly they were anything but 5 star. I continued using their services more out of miserable convenience then customer satisfaction due to my home being vacant during the majority of the time that I had them service my pool and spa and my living 60 miles away. I had a camera on the yard so I saw the lack of effort that was made during the servicing. There were many weeks that NOBODY serviced my pool and spa. The owner repeatedly told me that the service person was not able to fill the spa which did not have an automatic leveler on it because he was only at the house for a short time. He was right about the lack of time spent at my home because not once did anyone ever brush or scoop my pool or spa. The owner then 'made me' pay for a leveler that leaked all of the time and he told me it could not be fixed because the spa dropped so low without being filled so without much choice more money was given to the company. I would not have minded had the company been brushing and caring for the equipment as stated in the contract but if they would have brushed everything like they were supposed to, there would have been time to fill the spa. The spa was green most of the time and neither the spa or the pool ever looked clean and there was always debris in both. I could not check frequently enough on my home due to the 1.5 hr drive one way. The photos the company sent never captured what I would see if I followed within a an or or so of the service being done. The last straw was when the owner told my realtor that the spa was leaking and cost me the sale of my home. There was no leak other skimmer needed repair/replaced after we paid for a $350 leak test. Basic science AZ heat and open water surface area causes evaporation. The spa always required frequent water fills when it was hot out. My water bill was very inexpensive and my ground dry. Unless the service man flomy yard like he did several times when the rare shoddy effort was made to fill the spa. He forgot to turn the water off. All in all it was a nightmare but I hoped to sell the home sooner than I wound up doing so and did not want to start over with another company. Shame on me for not switching but I had many other things on my plate. To top it off after costing me the first sale, the owner had the nerve to ask me if the new owner wanted to continue service. Glad the home is sold and glad to no longer be dealing with this company, Wanted to add that O agree with Tyler's review below...there were many times that we had to reach out and ask for things to be checked with our equipment because my landscaper would contact me to tell me about leaks that he would find near or on equipment and then I would have to call Rod (owner) to inquire about the issue. Isn't part of the weekly service provided letting clients know if any issues are in need of repair. $120 per month for a less than 5 minute house call is ridiculous. We watched the serviceman on camera so can attest to the fact that his visits were so fast that there was no chance for anything other than throwing some chlorine tabs into the spa and pool and that was the extent of the service. read more

I contacted Island Life Pools & Spas bc I was unhappy with a change in ownership of my previous pool maintenance company. The owner of ILP&S was knowledgeable and helpful and got the pool under control in no time at all. They've been great--reliable, skilled and deal well with my yappy doggies! All the staff go the extra mile, especially Oscar, who helped out with my temperamental pool vacuum. Very very happy with ILP&S!! read more
