Pool service in Grapevine, Texas

Grapevine has more shade over its pools than most of the county, and in a Texas July that shade is a gift. It does mean leaves, pollen and seed pods arrive with the season, and our weekly visit takes them out before they have a chance to sit and soften in the water. Skimming, brushing and emptying the baskets is the simple part of pool care and the part that keeps everything else easy.

Plenty of the pools here were built decades ago, and older pools have their own character — original plaster, a single-speed pump, a filter that has been quietly doing its job for years. We get to know each one and keep it running sweetly. When something is nearing the end of its life we tell you in good time, so a pump or a filter is a planned replacement rather than an emergency on a Saturday.

Fill water across North Texas arrives hard, carrying calcium with it. We hold the pool at 200 ppm, which keeps the water comfortable and keeps scale off the plaster, the tile and the inside of the heater. Evaporation leaves minerals behind and only the water disappears, so hardness is one of the numbers we watch closely through the summer.

Being near the lake means generous irrigation and humid air, and a garden that loves both. Keeping the chemistry read every week is what keeps that greenery where it belongs — in the beds, not in the water.

Questions from Grapevine pool owners

Do you service pools in all of Grapevine?

We do — Grapevine is on the same weekly route as Keller, Southlake, Westlake, Northlake, Roanoke and Justin. If you are not sure whether your street is on it, call the office on 817-993-1111 and we will give you a straight answer.

Why does my pool seem to use more chlorine than my neighbour's?

Shade, debris and how much the pool gets used all change how much chlorine a pool goes through. A pool under a big canopy takes more organic material in, and that is what chlorine spends itself on first. Two pools on one street can genuinely need different doses, which is why we read and dose each pool on its own.
