The Basics
What is DadPool?
DadPool is a pool and hot tub rental company in Arizona’s East Valley, started in 2025 by four local dads. DadPool rents above-ground pools for the hot months, spas for the cooler months, and pools or spas for events. The same crew handles delivery, setup, maintenance and removal.
What does DadPool rent?
DadPool rents seasonal above-ground pools for 2 to 5 months, spas (hot tubs) for 2 to 7 months, and pools or spas for events, starting with a 3-day package. Every DadPool rental includes delivery, setup and removal.
What areas does DadPool serve?
DadPool serves homeowners and families in Arizona’s East Valley, including Apache Junction, Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa, Queen Creek, San Tan Valley, Scottsdale and Tempe. Send us your address and we’ll confirm whether your home is in the service area.
Who owns DadPool?
DadPool is owned and run by four Arizona dads: Steven Alvarez, Stephen Menon, Jason Tackett and Nate Rosales. They started the company in 2025. There’s no call center or franchise, so you deal with the same people who put the pool in your yard.
Why rent an above-ground pool instead of buying one?
Buying an above-ground pool means you set it up, balance the chemicals, clean it, fix the pump, tear it down and store it. Rent from DadPool and that’s all on us. You pay for the pool plus delivery, installation, weekly maintenance, troubleshooting and removal, and you get your backyard back when the season ends.
Is renting a pool a good alternative to building an in-ground pool?
For some families, yes. An in-ground pool in Arizona can cost upwards of $60,000 and is permanent. A DadPool seasonal rental starts at $1,397 and comes out when the season ends. If you want a permanent pool and you’re ready for construction and ownership, an in-ground pool may make more sense.

Yes. Weekly maintenance is included in every DadPool seasonal rental. We clean the pool and look after the water. The Premium package adds one extra cleaning per month.
Do I have to install the above-ground pool myself?
No. DadPool delivers and installs every seasonal pool. You won’t spend a weekend putting one together in the Arizona heat.
What happens if the pool or equipment breaks during my rental?
Call DadPool. If the pool needs a patch, equipment needs replacing, or something else goes wrong during your rental, we fix it. That’s part of what you’re paying for.
What happens when my pool rental is over?
DadPool tears the pool down and hauls it away. There’s nothing to store and nothing permanent left behind.
What is the DadPool Playbook?
The DadPool Playbook is a guide every seasonal pool customer gets. It covers family pool rules, what to do between maintenance visits, water-temperature guidance, backyard organization and when to call DadPool.
How early should I reserve a pool for summer?
As soon as you know when you want to start swimming. DadPool has a limited number of pools and can only do so many installs at once, and a lot of Arizona families want a pool at the same time each spring.
Spas
How does a hot tub rental from DadPool work?
A DadPool spa rental gives you a Deluxe or Premium hot tub for 2 to 7 months during Arizona’s cooler season. We deliver and install the spa, maintain it every other week, handle repairs and take it away when you’re done. Every spa rental comes with a 30-Day Love It or Leave It Guarantee.
Which spas does DadPool rent?
DadPool rents two spas. The Deluxe spa measures 73″ × 27″H and the Premium spa measures 80″ × 28″H. Both comfortably fit 4 to 6 adults and have an all-around bubble system and smart filtration.
How hot does a DadPool spa get?
Both DadPool spas heat quickly, up to 104°F.
How long can I rent a hot tub from DadPool?
DadPool spa rentals run 2 to 7 months. Deliveries run November through March.
Do I have to maintain the hot tub myself?

What is the 30-Day Love It or Leave It Guarantee?
The DadPool 30-Day Love It or Leave It Guarantee lets you try a spa at home for 30 days. If it isn’t right for you, tell us within that time. We’ll pick the spa up and cancel future payments, and you only pay for the time you used it. If you paid upfront, the unused portion is refunded under the offer terms.
Event Rentals
Can I rent a pool for a party or a weekend?
Yes. DadPool event rentals give you a pool or spa for a birthday, a family visit or a holiday weekend, starting with a 3-day package from $995 for a pool or $795 for a spa. We deliver it, set it up and fill it, then drain it and haul it away.
How does a DadPool event rental work?

The shortest DadPool rental is a 3-day event package: a setup day, one full day for you and a removal day. Setup and removal don’t cut into your full day.
Can I rent a pool for a full week?
Yes. DadPool offers 7-day event packages. A pool that starts at $995 for 3 days is about $1,295 for the week, and extra days start at $100 a day. Final pricing depends on the pool and setup.
What kinds of events are DadPool rentals good for?
DadPool event rentals suit birthday parties, family visiting from out of town, backyard get-togethers, summer weekends, and Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Labor Day gatherings.
What happens if there’s a problem during my event rental?
DadPool is available during your event rental for questions and equipment problems. If our equipment or setup keeps you from using the pool or spa as planned, we’ll make it right. Depending on what happened, that means fixing it, extending your rental, or a fair credit or refund.
When should I book a pool for my event?
As soon as you know your date. DadPool has a limited number of pools and spas for each date, and popular summer weekends and holidays like Memorial Day, the Fourth of July and Labor Day may book up earlier.
Your Backyard
Will a DadPool fit in my backyard?
A DadPool pool needs an open spot about a foot wider and longer than the pool, plus an outdoor outlet for the pump. The free Backyard Fit Check takes about 2 minutes. If the answer isn’t clear, we’ll come out for a free site visit.
Take the Backyard Fit CheckHow much space does an above-ground pool need?
Each DadPool pool needs an open spot about a foot wider and longer than the pool itself. The Small round pool needs about 15 × 15 ft, the Small oval about 17 × 11 ft, the Medium about 19 × 10 ft and the Large about 25 × 13 ft.
Do I need an outdoor outlet for a rental pool?
Yes. The DadPool pool pump plugs into an outdoor outlet. It doesn’t need to be right next to the pool. We can run an extension cord.
What does DadPool check before installing a pool?
DadPool looks at the size of the open spot, the ground surface (grass, gravel or desert landscaping, pavers, concrete or dirt), how flat it is, whether there’s an outdoor outlet, and whether anything is in or over the spot, such as sprinkler lines, a septic tank or leach field, tree branches or power lines.
Is the DadPool site visit free?
Yes. If the Backyard Fit Check can’t confirm your yard works, DadPool will come look at the space for free and help you find a spot and pool size that fits.
What if my backyard doesn’t work after the pool is installed?
DadPool takes the pool out and charges only for the time you had it. If you paid in full, we refund the unused portion.
Booking & Payments
How do I reserve a DadPool?
You reserve a DadPool pool or spa online with a deposit. Paying in full takes a 25% non-refundable deposit, with the other 75% due before delivery. On a monthly plan, your first monthly payment is the deposit. Then we’ll be in touch to schedule installation.
How much is the deposit for a DadPool rental?
For paid-in-full DadPool rentals, a 25% deposit reserves your pool or spa, and the remaining 75% is due before delivery. For monthly plans, the first monthly payment is the deposit.
Is the DadPool deposit refundable?
The DadPool deposit is non-refundable, with two exceptions. If we can’t fulfill your reservation, you get it back. If we install your pool and your yard isn’t a workable fit, the deposit counts toward the time you had the pool and anything unused is refunded. Spa deposits are also covered by the 30-Day Love It or Leave It Guarantee.
Does filling out a form on the DadPool website reserve my pool?
No. A form or request on the DadPool website doesn’t reserve a pool or spa. Your reservation is confirmed after you accept a quote or rental agreement and pay the deposit.
Can DadPool prices change?
Yes. Prices, packages and promotions on the DadPool website can change. Your price is the one in your written quote or rental agreement.
Safety & Contact
How do I contact DadPool?
Call or text DadPool at (480) 605-2452, email admin@dadpoolaz.com, or message @dadpoolaz on Instagram. DadPool is a small local team, so you’ll hear from one of the four owners.
Who is responsible for supervising swimmers in a rental pool?
The homeowner is. DadPool delivers, installs and maintains the pool or spa, but supervising swimmers and using the equipment safely is the responsibility of the homeowner and the people using it. Pools and spas need responsible adult supervision at all times, especially around children.
What should I do if something about my pool or spa doesn’t look right?
Call or text DadPool right away at (480) 605-2452. Fixing pool and spa problems during your rental is our job, not yours.
