Pool Installation in Arizona: What You Need to Know
Arizona falls in Climate Zone 2B (Hot-Dry), which pools are common but require specific desert considerations. Understanding these local factors helps you make better decisions about materials and timing.
Evaporation
Pools lose 1/4 to 1/2 inch daily to evaporation. Pool covers essential for water savings.
Heating Minimal
Solar heating often sufficient. Pool heaters rarely needed except spring/fall.
Cool Decking
Standard concrete too hot to walk on. Cool deck coatings or pavers recommended.
