Phoenix pool resurfacing, a licensed local pro, a clear price.

Resurfacing in Phoenix

Resurfacing in Phoenix comes down to three local details: very hard fill water, a drain that has to go down the sewer cleanout slowly, and a refill that costs less in some months than others. A contractor who works the city every week plans for all three before the pool is drained.

Tap water

Hard. The city's 2025 water quality report lists 172 to 302 mg/L, or 10 to 17.6 grains per gallon. Nearly all of it is Salt, Verde and Colorado River water, with the rest from city wells.

Draining your pool

Through the home's sewer cleanout, at no more than 12 gallons a minute (720 an hour). Not into the street, an alley or other city right of way.

No cleanout?

Homes without one, such as homes on septic, can drain to the right of way only with a city permit, under 50 gallons a minute and under 1 ppm chlorine. Saltwater pools and backwash water can't go that way.

Where these facts come from: City of Phoenix 2025 Water Quality Report; City of Phoenix Water Services, pool draining and refilling guidance; City of Phoenix pool barrier requirements. Rules change, so check with your city or water provider before you drain.
