Serving Arlington & DFW

The Texas Pool Maintenance Calendar

What your pool actually needs changes with the season — Texas summer heat and winter freezes both create problems that a generic maintenance schedule misses. Here's what to expect month to month, and what's included when we handle it.

Who's Handling This Calendar For You

If you'd rather not track seasonal chemistry shifts yourself, this is what our weekly maintenance service covers year-round.

CPO Certified Maintenance

CPO certified technicians understand the science behind swimming pool chemistry. Proper maintenance prevents algae, protects equipment, and keeps your swimming pool safe for your family.

Chemicals Included

Our $180/month weekly maintenance includes all chemicals — chlorine, acid, algaecide, and more. No surprise charges. Your swimming pool stays balanced and safe every week.

21+ Years in DFW

We know Texas swimming pools — the heat, the algae, the hard water. 21+ years of local experience means we anticipate problems before they become expensive repairs.

What "Maintenance" Actually Covers

Many people confuse cleaning with maintenance. Cleaning removes debris. Maintenance keeps everything working right. Our weekly service includes both.

Here's what happens on every maintenance visit, before we get to the seasonal calendar below:

Water Chemistry Testing & Balancing

Test and adjust pH, chlorine, alkalinity, calcium hardness, and cyanuric acid. Proper chemistry protects your swimming pool surface, equipment, and swimmers.

Filter Cleaning & Backwashing

Check filter pressure, backwash sand/DE filters as needed, clean cartridge filters on schedule. A clean filter is essential for swimming pool water clarity.

Equipment Checks

Inspect pump, filter, heater, and automation systems. We catch problems early — before a small issue becomes an expensive swimming pool repair.

Brushing, Vacuuming & Skimming

Brush walls and tile line to prevent algae and calcium buildup, vacuum the pool floor, skim surface debris. Part of every weekly maintenance visit.

Seasonal Swimming Pool Maintenance Tips for Texas

Summer (June–September)

  • • Increase pump run time to 10–12 hours/day
  • • Higher chlorine demand — test more frequently
  • • Maintain cyanuric acid at 30–50 ppm
  • • Watch for algae after rainstorms
  • • Check filter pressure weekly

Fall/Winter (October–May)

  • • Reduce pump run time to 4–6 hours/day
  • • Lower chlorine demand but still maintain levels
  • • Never drain a Texas pool — freeze damage risk
  • • Remove debris more frequently (fall leaves)
  • • Schedule equipment winterization
