Water Testing and Balancing
Water chemistry is the foundation of a clean and healthy pool. Regular water testing ensures your pool's chemical levels are accurate, keeping the water clear and healthy while protecting its finish and equipment.
Shocking and Sanitizing
Shocking and sanitizing eliminate organic contaminants and prevent the growth of algae and bacteria, which are essential to maintaining a clean and healthy pool. But it all starts with the proper alkalinity and pH balance. It’s the heart health of your pool.
Additionally, in central Texas, in addition to balancing and shocking, you must use the proper preventative algaecides and phosphate removers. Only by using the complete package can you fight the heat and pollen that we love so much here in the heart of Texas.
