Owner-Operated Pool Care Built on Trust

Desert Rat Pools, LLC was founded in 2016 to give homeowners a more personal way to care for their swimming pools. Led by Kyle McCauley, our owner-operated business serves residential homeowners who want safe water, clean surfaces, working equipment, and clear communication from a local team. With 15 years of experience in pool care, we understand how Arizona heat, dust, mineral buildup, and heavy pool use can affect water balance, filters, pumps, heaters, and automation systems.

We help homeowners keep pools safe, clean, and operating efficiently year-round through pool equipment repairs, new equipment installations, weekly pool maintenance, and pool filter cleaning. Our work is designed to minimize downtime, prevent costly repairs, and reduce the stress of handling technical pool issues alone. Whether a pump stops circulating, a filter needs cleaning, a heater needs service, or weekly care needs to stay on schedule, we bring practical solutions and straightforward communication to every visit.

Desert Rat Pools, LLC is CPO-certified and BBB Accredited with an A+ rating, reflecting our commitment to customer satisfaction, business integrity, and careful service. We do more than basic chemical balancing. Our maintenance includes full-service pool care with equipment checks, water testing, cleaning, and preventative recommendations that help protect the entire system.

As a pool contractor in Glendale, AZ, we also serve Phoenix, AZ, Scottsdale, AZ, Paradise Valley, AZ, Surprise, AZ, North Phoenix, AZ, El Mirage, AZ, Sun City, AZ, Central Phoenix, AZ, and Cave Creek, AZ. We accept checks, cash, and card payments, and we offer free estimates. Customers who sign up for weekly pool service and pay two months upfront receive a free filter cleaning, with future filter cleans available for $50 instead of the normal $120.
