The routine that keeps a pool clear: water chemistry, salt systems, and the weekly habits that stop small drifts from becoming green water. Written for North Texas conditions, where heat and mineral-rich fill water both work against you.
Salt pools are not chlorine-free and not lower maintenance. They trade weekly chemical handling for a standing requirement to control pH and keep the cell clean, which is harder here than most places.
Chlorine, pH, alkalinity, calcium, cyanuric acid. Here is what each number should be for a North Texas pool, why our mineral-rich fill water changes the math, and how to keep it balanced.
Biweekly service looks cheaper on paper, but in the Texas heat it often costs more in chemicals and recovery. Here is how to decide which schedule your Plano pool actually needs.
