Pool Service in Westlake Hills, TX
The City of West Lake Hills is one of Austin's most established premium residential markets, and its pools reflect that history. Most pools in the 78746 zip code were built between the 1970s and early 2000s — a lot of them still running their original Purex or Jandy equipment on plaster surfaces that have seen three decades of Central Texas weather. The Pool Police has serviced Westlake Hills pools since 2000, and we know which builders built which pools, which brands of equipment are still parts-available, and how the Eanes-area tree canopy loads filters week by week. Our weekly service protocol for Westlake Hills specifically protects aging plaster with calibrated pH and calcium management while keeping up with the heavy organic debris load.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you service pools in the City of West Lake Hills (78746)?
Yes. The Pool Police has established weekly routes through every corner of Westlake Hills, including Davenport Ranch, the Camp Craft Road corridor, and the older Eanes-area neighborhoods. We're on the street week after week and have been since 2000.
My Westlake Hills pool has aging plaster — should I replaster or keep treating it?
It depends on how deep the deterioration goes. Surface stains, calcium nodules, and minor etching can often be managed for years with careful chemistry and targeted acid washing. Structural delamination or widespread pitting is a different story — we'll give you an honest assessment rather than pushing a renovation. Westlake Hills plaster surfaces commonly last 20–25 years before a full replaster is really necessary.
What's the typical water chemistry profile in Westlake Hills?
Austin Water supply to the 78746 zip code typically delivers calcium hardness of 180–260 ppm and total alkalinity of 80–120 ppm. The alkalinity pushes pH upward constantly, so we add muriatic acid on most visits to keep pH in the 7.4–7.6 target range. Older plaster surfaces tolerate this well as long as we don't let pH spike above 7.8.
