Pool Maintenance and Repair Services
in Onion Creek
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
