Pool service & care

Water That Stays Right Without You Thinking About It

Chemistry, filtration, equipment and surfaces, handled on a schedule across Harris and Montgomery County. We look after the pools we built, and plenty we did not.

The unglamorous work that keeps a pool looking new

A Gulf Coast pool takes a beating that pools in most of the country never see. Nine months of heat, a pollen season that coats everything, tropical systems that drop a foot of rain and a yard's worth of debris in two days, then the occasional hard freeze that catches equipment off guard.

  • Full water chemistry: sanitiser, pH, alkalinity, calcium hardness and stabiliser
  • Skim, brush and vacuum, with the waterline tile kept ahead of scale
  • Baskets emptied and filter pressure checked against its clean baseline
  • Pump, heater, automation and valve positions inspected, not assumed
  • A written note of anything trending the wrong way, before it becomes a repair
Beyond the weekly visit

The jobs that come up every few years

Some of this is seasonal, some of it is once a decade. All of it is easier when the same people already know your pool.

Surfaces

Tile cleaning, calcium removal and acid washing when plaster starts to hold what the brush will not lift. Done at the right interval, it buys years before a resurface.

Equipment

Pumps, filters, heaters, salt cells and automation. Diagnosis first, replacement second, and an honest answer about which one you are actually looking at.

Storm & freeze

Getting a pool back after a tropical system, and protecting equipment before a hard freeze. Both are Houston problems that catch new owners out.

New owners especially

The first month of a new surface decides the next decade

A freshly plastered pool is at its most vulnerable in its first weeks. Chemistry has to be balanced carefully while the surface cures underwater, and it has to be brushed on a real schedule rather than when somebody remembers. Habits set in that window show up in how the finish looks ten years later.
