Pool Cleaning — Rollingwood, TX

Pool Cleaning in Rollingwood, TX

Rollingwood is one square mile of some of the most coveted real estate in Austin, and pool service here runs on reputation more than advertising. Most Rollingwood pools were built in the 1960s through 1980s on what is now 40+ year-old plaster, often with original 1.5-inch plumbing and legacy equipment that's long past its design life. The Pool Police has serviced Rollingwood since 2000, and many of our oldest accounts are on Pickwick Lane, Edgegrove, and the surrounding streets. Our weekly cleaning protocol here is built around protecting aging plaster with precise chemistry, keeping up with the heavy live oak and cedar elm leaf drop that defines the Zilker-edge microclimate, and treating every customer like the small-city reputation business it actually is.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I have my pool cleaned?

For most Austin pools, weekly cleaning is ideal. Our hot climate, heavy pollen loads from oak and cedar, and long swim season mean water chemistry shifts quickly. Weekly visits keep algae at bay and catch equipment issues before they become expensive repairs.

What's included in a weekly pool cleaning visit?

Every visit includes surface skimming, brushing of walls and tile, vacuuming, chemical testing and adjustment, basket cleaning, and an equipment check. We also clean the waterline and inspect for leaks or developing problems.

Do I need to be home during service?

No. Most of our customers give us gate access so we can service the pool on schedule whether you're home or not. We leave a service report after every visit so you know exactly what was done.

Is The Pool Police on a route through Rollingwood?

Yes — we have a long-running weekly route through Rollingwood proper and the surrounding 78746 area. Because Rollingwood is a small incorporated city, our same tech knows virtually every pool in the neighborhood and has typically serviced many of them for years.

My 1970s Rollingwood pool has original plumbing — can you still service and repair it?

Yes. Rollingwood has a lot of original 1.5" PVC and copper plumbing from the 1970s and early 80s. We know which equipment brands still offer compatible fittings, which modern pumps work on legacy plumbing without a full replumb, and when a retrofit is genuinely required versus optional. We'll give you honest guidance rather than pushing a full renovation.

How do you handle the Zilker-area oak leaf drop?

Rollingwood's canopy is one of the densest in Austin. We skim at every visit, monitor filter pressure closely through fall, and run phosphate-removing chemistry during peak leaf-drop season to prevent the decaying organic matter from feeding algae. Customers whose pools sit directly under mature oaks often benefit from a leaf-net cover through November.
