The North Texas Pool Year, Month by Month
Doing the right job in the right month is most of what separates a pool that is easy from a pool that is a running argument.
Close to our Plano base, and easy to keep on a fixed weekly day.

Get a free quoteAddison is small, dense, and unusual among the cities we serve: a lot of its water is in courtyard pools, townhome pools, and compact residential backyards rather than in quarter-acre suburban yards. Smaller volume isn’t easier volume, because a small pool responds fast to everything, including mistakes.
At roughly four and a half square miles, Addison is the smallest city on our map, and its pools are correspondingly compact. That matters more than it sounds. A small pool has less water to absorb an error: the same dose that nudges a 25,000-gallon pool will overshoot a courtyard pool, and a hot week moves its chemistry and its level much faster than a large one. Precision matters more here than volume of chemicals, which is a good argument for testing on every visit rather than dosing from habit.
Addison courtyards are often walled and shaded, which cuts sun exposure and therefore chlorine burn-off, but also cuts circulation at the surface and traps debris in corners. Those pools frequently need less sanitizer and more brushing than an open backyard pool of the same size, which is the opposite of what most maintenance schedules assume.
Water here comes off the Dallas system rather than the Lavon supply feeding our Collin County pools, so the free-chlorine month NTMWD customers notice every March simply doesn’t happen in Addison. Small thing, but it’s the sort of small thing that explains why your pool behaved differently one spring than your sister’s in Plano did.

Yes. A lot of Addison’s pools are compact courtyard or townhome pools. Smaller volume means chemistry moves faster, so we test on every visit and dose to the reading rather than to a standard recipe.
Very close. Addison sits just southwest of Plano, so it’s one of the quickest cities for us to reach and easy to keep on a consistent weekly day, with same-week starts normally realistic.
Yes, in both directions. Less direct sun means chlorine burns off more slowly, so the pool usually needs less sanitizer. But walls cut surface circulation and trap debris in corners, so it needs more brushing and closer attention to the skimmer than an open pool of the same size.

The white band on your tile is the visible part of a problem that starts at the hose, and it doesn’t stop at the tile.

Two pools that look identical can be quoted hundreds of dollars apart, and the reason is almost never the algae. It’s the stabilizer level nobody mentioned.
