Pool Service
in Bertram, TX
What Customers Are Saying
Life out here isn’t hurried. It’s spent on acreage lots overlooking Hill Country vistas, surrounded by cedar and live oak as far as the eye can see, and living next to neighbors who actually know your name. It’s Texas living at its finest—and for an increasing number of Bertram area homeowners, that includes a backyard pool.
But keeping that pool clean, balanced, and operating properly in Burnet County heat and humidity takes more than a packet of shock and a skimmer net. Since 2015, Aqua Clear Pool Care has been serving pool owners across Austin and throughout the Hill Country. We know this terrain. We know this weather. And we know exactly what Central Texas asks of your pool. If you have a pool in Bertram, we’re ready to earn your business.
Why Pools in Bertram Need More Care than Most
Bertram is located in the eastern part of Burnet County’s Hill Country transition zone. With hot summers, open landscape, and a cedar-dominated tree population, your pool has a few extra challenges to overcome.
- Trees shed pollen, leaves, debris, and microscopic particles year-round.
- Wide-open spaces and big blue skies mean more wind, which blows debris in faster and increases water evaporation.
- Burnet County’s limestone-packed aquifer creates hard water that leaves scaling on pool surfaces and equipment.
- Summer heat followed by brisk winter cold fronts create temperature fluctuations that stress your equipment and water balance.
Algae. Scaling. Equipment issues. All these things and more can take hold of an Bertram-area pool without the benefit of regular, professional service. We’re here to help you avoid those problems before they start.
Expert Pool Care that Protects your Investment
A backyard pool is an investment in your home. Especially out here where lots are large and outdoor living is enjoyed year-round, a pool adds real value to your home. Expert service keeps that value from depreciating over time.
- Equipment lasts longer: Pool pumps, motors, and filters that are maintained by a professional will outlast equipment that is neglected. One small leak left unrepaired can destroy an entire filtration system in 18 months to 2 years.
- Water that’s safe for your family: Proper maintenance includes water treatments that reduce bacteria in your pool, keeping your family safer and protecting pool surfaces.
- Costly repairs can be avoided: Many costly issues can be caught before they become serious (and expensive) with routine inspection. We catch the problems early so you don’t have to replace that expensive piece of equipment sooner than necessary.
- Home value is protected: A clean, working pool is a positive selling feature in any real estate market. A neglected pool can be a deterrent when it’s time to sell your home.
Pool Service Plans for Bertram Residents
Weekly Pool Maintenance Service
Most homeowners in Bertram opt for weekly service due to the abundance of debris that can come off the Hill Country trees and surrounding landscape. Just cedar pollen season can cover pool surfaces in a matter of days. Our weekly service ensures your pool stays clean and problems don’t have time to develop.
Each weekly service visit includes:
- Removing debris from the pool surface
- Brushing pool walls and steps
- Vacuuming pool floor
- Cleaning pump and skimmer baskets
- Water chemistry testing and adjustment
Managing your Water Chemistry
Bertram has hard water. It’s one of the greatest challenges your pool faces. High levels of calcium and minerals from groundwater seepage can impact your pool’s chemical balance—leading to cloudy water, calcium scaling on pool tile and equipment, and even shorten the lifespan of your pool’s surfaces if left untreated.
We test and adjust all the following pool water parameters during every service visit:
- pH
- Free chlorine
- Total alkalinity
- Calcium hardness
- Pool stabilizer (cyanuric acid)
Our technicians are EPA certified and understand how to work with, not against, Central Texas water chemistry.
Pool Equipment Maintenance
Bertram has a lot of first time pool owners with newer pool installations but also many long-time residents who have had pools for years. That means we service new and old equipment:
- We’ll check pump pressure and flow rates each visit to ensure your pump is operating efficiently
- Monitor filter pressure and report any abnormalities
- Inspect heater operation during seasonal transitions
- Monitor all your equipment so we can spot trends and catch issues before they lead to failure
Cleaning and inspecting your filter
Your pool filter traps the debris that trees and brush kick up around your pool. When your filter becomes clogged it doesn’t just cause your pool water to lose clarity. It puts stress on your pump and can recirculate small particles back into the pool. We clean your filter regularly and inspect it for wear so you know it’s operating as it should. We service all types of filters: cartridge, sand, and DE.
Pool Repair Services
Pool Pump Repair
Pumps should be quiet. If your pump is making new noises, pumping less water than it used to, or not turning on at all, let us take a look. We repair all kinds of pool pumps including:
- Single-speed pool pumps
- Two-speed pool pumps
- Variable speed pool pumps
Always know what we think is wrong before we perform any repairs—we’ll inspect, diagnose, and then explain our findings to you.
Pool Filter Repair
Cloudy pool water that doesn’t clear up, high filter pressure that doesn’t go back down after cleaning, and/or noticing water pooling around your filter sight are all signs that something isn’t right with your pool filter. We can troubleshoot and repair your pool’s filter system.
Pool Heater Repair
Bertram winters may be mild and short, but they happen. When that first cold front rolls through and you turn your heater on — only to find it’s not working properly, call us. We repair all gas and electric pool heaters.
Pool Light Repair and Installation
Few things are better on a warm Hill Country night than spending some time outside after the sun goes down. Add swimming in your pool to that list. We can repair your existing pool light system and/or install a new LED light that uses less electricity and illuminates your pool water far greater than traditional halogen lights.
Pool Automation
Want to control your pool pump run times, heater, lighting, and cleaning systems from your smartphone? You can with a pool automation system. We install and service automation systems that make pool ownership easier and reduce the daily demands on your time.
Pool Inspections for Bertram Area Home Buyers
Bertram and the surrounding area has seen a boom in real estate over the last few years. That means more homeowners are finding themselves buying a home with a pool—they may not know the first thing about. Pools can hide a lot of issues that won’t be found during a walkthrough. A pool that looks great while you’re standing on the deck could have circulation issues, equipment that’s near the end of it’s life expectancy, cracked surfaces under the waterline, and/or unseen plumbing issues that won’t be discovered until after closing.
Our Pool Inspection includes:
- Evaluation of equipment condition and estimated years of remaining life
- Condition of the pool surfaces and finish
- Circulation system and plumbing
- Decking and pool coping
- Safety fencing and applicable code requirements
You’ll be provided with a written report complete with photos of all major components we inspected. Each is assigned a condition rating and repair estimates are provided when applicable. Use it for peace of mind or negotiate with confidence. Either way, you will know exactly what you’re getting into when you close on your new home.
