Pool Cleaning — Westlake Hills, TX

Pool Cleaning in Westlake Hills, TX

Westlake Hills pool cleaning has to do two things at once: protect aging plaster and equipment on legacy pools while keeping up with a live oak canopy that drops a heavy organic load 12 months a year. Many 78746 pools were built between the 1970s and early 2000s, which means original Purex, Jandy, or first-gen Pentair equipment running on plaster surfaces pushing 20–30 years old. The Pool Police services Westlake Hills with a protocol tuned to exactly this situation — calibrated pH and calcium management to avoid etching older plaster, sequestrant chemistry for the moderate calcium hardness typical of Austin Water in the 78746 zip code, and aggressive filter care to handle the oak canopy. We know which Westlake Hills streets drop the heaviest debris load and which pools have the oldest equipment.

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.

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.
