Pool Service in Tomball, TX
Tomball is a unique place to own a home. You have the charm of the older neighborhoods and the rapid expansion of the new developments. You have space. You have big backyards.
But you also have the sun.
Unlike the dense forests just south of us, a lot of Tomball is open. Your pool sits there, baking in the Texas heat for twelve hours a day. The UV rays are relentless. The wind kicks up dust from construction sites or open fields. The grass clippings from the landscapers drift into the water.
You wanted a pool to cool off after a long week. You didn’t sign up for a chemistry experiment. You didn’t sign up to stand in the blazing heat, staring at a test strip, wondering why the water is cloudy even though you just added chlorine.
Homeowners in Tomball often get frustrated because the water turns fast here. You can have a crystal clear pool on Tuesday, and by Friday afternoon, it looks hazy. By Sunday, you can see green starting to form on the steps.
That isn't your fault. It’s the environment. It takes a specific approach to manage pools here. You can't just throw a tab in the floater and hope for the best.
That is where we come in. We don't just skim the top. We manage the water. We understand the specific heat and debris load that Tomball pools face. We take the headache away so you can actually swim.
Pool Care Challenges Unique to Tomball
Every area in North Houston is different. In The Woodlands, you fight the trees. Here in Tomball, we fight the exposure.
The Chlorine Burn-Off: Because many yards here have less shade, the sun hits the water hard. UV rays destroy chlorine. If your stabilizer (cyanuric acid) levels aren't perfectly balanced, the sun will burn off your sanitizer in a matter of hours. We see this all the time. A homeowner adds shock. They think they are good for a week. But the sun eats it up by the next day. The water is left unprotected, and the algae takes hold immediately.
​
Dust and Construction Debris: Tomball is growing. There is construction everywhere. The wind carries fine dust and dirt into your pool. This doesn't just make the floor look dirty; it clogs your filter. When a filter is clogged with fine dust, the pressure rises. The water flow slows down. Your circulation system becomes weak. Without strong circulation, chemicals don't mix, and dead spots form in the deep end. That is where algae starts.
​
Lawn Runoff and Phosphates: We have a lot of grass here. When you or your lawn crew mows, clippings get in the water. When it rains, fertilizer runoff from the yard washes into the pool. Fertilizer is designed to make plants grow. Algae is a plant. When nitrates and phosphates from the lawn get into your pool, you are essentially fertilizing the algae. It creates a "phosphate lock" where even high levels of chlorine can't keep the water clear. You have to treat the phosphates to starve the algae.
​
Aging Equipment vs. New Technology: Tomball has a mix of older pools with 15-year-old single-speed pumps and brand new pools with high-tech variable-speed drives. The old pumps use a ton of energy and often leak. The new pumps are great, but half the time the builders program them wrong. They run them too slow to skim the water effectively. We know how to handle both. We keep the old iron running, and we reprogram the new tech to actually work.

Weekly Pool Cleaning in Tomball, TX.
​
Weekly service is the standard for a reason.
In this climate, two weeks is too long. The chemistry shifts too fast.
Our pool cleaning Tomball, TX service is designed to keep the water sanitary and inviting.
-
Surface Skimming: We remove the floating debris before it sinks. Grass clippings, bugs, and leaves.
-
Deep Netting: If it’s on the bottom, we get it out. Organic matter decaying on the floor stains the plaster and eats chlorine.
-
Brushing: This is crucial in Tomball. Because of the dust, we have to brush the walls, tile line, and steps every week. This keeps the dirt suspended so the filter can catch it. It also prevents algae from rooting in the pores of the plaster.
-
Basket Service: We empty the skimmer baskets and the pump basket. If these get full, the flow stops. If the flow stops, the pump overheats.
-
Chemical Balancing: We test everything. Chlorine, pH, Alkalinity, Calcium, Stabilizer. We add what is needed to keep the water neutral and safe for your eyes and skin.
Pool Maintenance in Tomball, TX
Cleaning is about the water. Maintenance is about the machine.
Your pool relies on a complex system of plumbing, electrical, and mechanical parts. The heat in Tomball is hard on equipment. Rubber seals dry out. Plastic becomes brittle. Capacitors swell and burst.
Our pool maintenance in Tomball, TX, approach is proactive. We look for the small leaks before they become big floods.
-
We check the pump lid O-ring. If it’s cracking, we lube it or replace it.
-
We listen to the motor. If the bearings are starting to whine, we let you know.
-
We check the filter pressure gauge. It tells us the health of the system.
-
We monitor the water level. If it’s too low, the pump sucks air. If it’s too high, the skimmer doesn't work.
We keep the system running efficiently so you don't burn out a $1,500 motor because of a $10 maintenance issue.
