North Texas doesn’t have a normal pool season. Our winters are mild but punctuated by hard freezes, and our summers punish any lapse in chemistry. These guides cover what to do as the calendar turns.
The leaf season routine for a North Texas pool: how often to empty the baskets and test, how to lift tannin stains, which gear is worth buying, and the second drop live oaks bring in spring.
The order of work after a heavy North Texas storm: what to do the same evening, how to get the water level down, the next-day chemistry, and why the pool goes green on day five.
What to change in a Texas heat wave, in order of impact: the chlorine level to hold, where to brush, how to run the pump, and what the heat does to the equipment pad.
Why most DFW pools run year round instead of closing, the few cases where a full winterization makes sense, how the three winter cover options compare, and the order that works for spring opening.
What to do before, during, and after a hard freeze: the pump and valve settings, the four freeze guard traps, and how to drain the pad if the power fails.
The equipment checks after a winter of freezes, the physical clean, the chemistry order that saves doing it twice, and the spring-only jobs: pollen, storms, and the gate.
The winter pump schedule for a North Texas pool: the hours, what they cost on each kind of pump, what the water still needs, and what changes for a salt pool or a hard freeze.
The job that matters in each month of a North Texas pool year, the water temperature behind it, and the mistake that turns it into a repair or a green pool.
