Pool Maintenance Austin, TX
While it is a worthy investment, owning a swimming pool does not come cheap, and there are additional costs for pool maintenance and pool repair services. As with other big purchases, like owning a car, your swimming pool also requires maintenance for it to function correctly.
Ensure that your swimming pool is free from floating debris. It’s also essential to keep the water chemistry balanced. Many possible issues may arise if the water chemistry is off.
Keeping your swimming pool clean is not only for aesthetic value. When your pool is clean, harmful microorganisms associated with infections can’t live or grow in the water. Keeping your pool clean and germ-free should be of utmost importance.
Cleaning your pool might seem like an easy task, albeit a tedious one. But just like owning a car and its maintenance, pool maintenance is another job that’s best left to the professionals at Countryside Pools Austin, if you want to get it done right. Why should you hire us?

Pool Shock Treatment
Have you ever been to a swimming pool and thought that it smelled of too much chlorine? It’s not too much chlorine, but rather an indication that it’s time for super-dosing the swimming pool to remove the smell.
You see, the smell comes from chloramines, the byproduct of chlorine reacting with sweat and oils in the water. Shock treatment, or super-dosing, is when you add more chlorine than usual to destroy the contaminants, remove the smell of chloramine, and disinfect the water.
The pump and filters should be running during the time of treatment. We recommend performing pool shock treatment when the sun is not out, so the chlorine doesn’t evaporate too fast with the sun’s UV rays.
Filter Inspection
Pool filters come in different types, and all of them operate on the same principle – to clean and sanitize the water in your swimming pool. Without pool filters, your swimming pool would become dirty.
We offer a complete range of services for filter inspections. Our services include isolating, draining, opening the filters, and examining all parts of the filters. We also offer services in filter refurbishment and filter replacement.
pH Level Balancing
pH levels determine whether a swimming pool is acidic or alkaline. Ideally, the pool’s pH levels are somewhere between 7.2 to 7.8. A lot of factors contribute to why a pool’s pH level changes.
Why is the pH level critical? Here are a few reasons:
- Low pH results in eye and skin irritation
- High pH inactivates chlorine
- Unbalanced levels can damage vinyl pool liners
- Low pH causes corrosion
- A High pH makes the water cloudy
When we are in charge of your pool’s maintenance, we can assure you that your pool water stays in the optimum range that is ideal for both swimmers and pool equipment.
Pool Remodeling Timeframe

Skimming
Manual skimming is done by using a telescopic pole with a skimming basket on one end to remove floating debris from the surface of the swimming pool. Your pool’s automatic skimmers practically work the same way by screening the debris collected in the weirs. In both methods, the skimming baskets are emptied to keep the skimming efficient.
Cleaning
Our cleaning service includes skimming debris that floats on the surface of your swimming pool, brushing the tiles and walls, emptying the skimmers and pump baskets, and adjusting the levels of the chemicals.
Vacuuming
Vacuuming is an important aspect of cleaning your pool and keeping it dirt-free. It inhibits the growth of algae, helps with the water chemistry, and allows the chemicals to work properly. It keeps the pool looking nice and clean. We use professional-grade tools to vacuum your swimming pool. It’ll be clean the next time you and your family take a dip in it.
Checking Water Circulation
Stagnant water is a breeding ground for algae. That’s why part of pool maintenance is making sure the water is circulating properly. The pump and filters should be working properly.
