See What Our Customers Have To Say

Big lots, big trees, and small-town relaxed feel with just a touch of off-grid. Backyards in Onion Creek get used, and for many homeowners here, that means a pool. Whether you’ve lived in Onion Creek for years or just moved to the neighborhood, you know pool maintenance isn’t a task to overlook or skimp on. Aqua Clear Pool Care has been servicing Austin pools since 2015, and we know Onion Creek pools inside and out. Our goal? Get your pool and keep it clean, clear, and functioning properly year after year.

Why Onion Creek Pools Need Aqua Clear Pool Care

Big trees and wooded lots are a big part of what makes Onion Creek special. They also make special demands on area pools.

• Trees like oak and pecan produce leaves, pollen, and sticky catkins all year long, not just during fall or spring
• Onion Creek’s humidity from its nearby water source can quickly destabilize your water chemistry

Basic maintenance just won’t cut it for Onion Creek pools. You need a technician who knows how to work with your environment to effectively service your pool.

Pool Care that Preserves your Pool Investment

When you install a pool in your backyard, you’re making one of the largest investments in your home. Ongoing professional pool service keeps that investment going in your favor.

• Extended Care Equipment Lifespans: Equipment that’s routinely maintained by a professional lasts longer than neglected pumps, motors, and filters. Simple leaks can destroy a filtration system in as little as two years.
• Clean, Safe Water: Proper chemical balancing means safe water for your family and protects pool surfaces and finishes from premature deterioration.
• Minimized Repair Costs: The earlier you know about an issue, the less expensive it is to repair. Regular equipment inspections help us spot developing problems.
• Increased Home Value: Austin pool owners enjoy the benefits of hot Texas summers and can add a clean, functional pool to that list. When it’s time to sell, a pool helps you sell.

Service Plans for Onion Creek Customers

Weekly Service

Our weekly visits cover all your routine maintenance needs from skimming to cleaning. Each visit includes:

• Surface skimming
• Wall and step brushing
• Floor vacuuming
• Pump and skimmer basket cleaning
• Comprehensive water chemistry testing and balancing

Weekly service may be common in Onion Creek because of the amount of debris and organic material your pools are exposed to. All that debris equals lots of leaves, pollen, and nasty green algae if your pool isn’t taken care of weekly.

Water Chemistry

Debris from nearby trees and vegetation creates a double whammy for water chemistry.

• Leaves floating in your pool use up sanitizer
• Promote imbalanced pH levels
• Invite algae growth

We test and adjust all standard water chemistry parameters during each visit:

• pH
• Free chlorine
• Total alkalinity
• Calcium hardness
• Stabilizer levels

We have the equipment and EPA certified technicians to ensure your water stays balanced and safe.

Equipment Maintenance

Onion Creek is older and has mid-life pool stock, which means we service newer, high-efficiency equipment along with equipment that could use some fine attention to loving.

• Evaluate equipment performance during each service call
• Take note of abnormalities in pump flow rates
• Monitor filter pressure readings
• Check heater operation
• Address issues before they become problems

Filter Cleaning/Inspection

Pool filters in Onion Creek have to work hard to keep up with filtration demands.

• A dirty filter causes inadequate water flow
• Burdens the pump
• Can release trapped fine particles back into your pool water

We clean your filter regularly and inspect it for proper operation to ensure it runs efficiently. We service cartridge, sand, and DE filters.

Pool Repair Services

Pool Pump Repair

Does your pool pump sound funny when it runs?

• Minimal water flow
• Won’t turn on

We repair all types of pool pumps:

• Single-speed
• Two-speed
• Variable speed

We’ll inspect your pump and explain what we think is wrong before we perform any repairs.

Filter Repair

Signs of filter problems include:

• Cloudy water
• Leaks
• High filter pressure

We troubleshoot and repair cartridge, sand, and DE filters.

Pool Heater Repair

We know Austin winters don’t last long, but they’re still a thing. If your pool heater isn’t cooperating when it’s chilly out, we’ll troubleshoot the issue and get it repaired. We service gas and electric pool heaters.

Pool Light Repair/Install

Sun goes down in Austin a lot. Night swims are only possible with good lighting.

• Repair existing pool light systems
• Offer LED upgrade options
• Reduce energy usage
• Improve lighting quality

Automation Systems

Automatic pump scheduling, heater controls, lighting, and automated cleaning systems are all accessible from your phone with a pool automation system.

We install and service automation systems to:

• Save you time
• Simplify pool upkeep

Pool Inspection for Onion Creek Home Buyers

Pools in Onion Creek run the gamut just like homes here. Some are newer pools in great condition, others have been around for years and may have problems not easily seen during a walkthrough.

Our free pre-purchase pool inspections report will cover:

• Equipment condition and age
• Pool surfaces and finishes
• Circulation and plumbing systems
• Deck and coping
• Fencing and safety codes

You’ll get a written report complete with:
