Southern Pool + Outdoors handles pool cleaning for homes across North Texas. That covers the weekly visit, the filter, the attached spa and the tile line. Call (214) 922-1914 for a quote.
Our pool cleaning services cover the water, the filter and the tile. Then we test and balance the chemistry on every visit. And when something on your equipment pad is about to fail, you hear it from us first.
Every visit runs the same checklist. We skim the surface, then empty the skimmer and pump baskets. We brush the walls, steps and waterline, because that is where algae starts. Next comes the floor, including the corners where leaves and grit settle. After that we test the water and balance the chlorine, pH and alkalinity. Last, we check the pump, the filter pressure and the flow.
Brushing is the step most people skip. Algae grabs onto plaster before you can see it. Once the water turns, you are looking at days of recovery instead of ten minutes of work.
You also get a photo report after each visit, so you know what we found and what we did. Most pools here need that once a week, all year. See our service area for the towns we cover.
Most pools here do best on a set schedule, year round. Winter still brings leaves and wind-blown dirt. Chemistry still drifts when nobody is watching it.
So we come the same day each week and run the full checklist: skim, brush, vacuum, baskets, water test and chemical balance. While we are there, we look over the pump and the filter pressure too.
See how the schedule works on our weekly pool service page.
Your filter does the quiet work. It pulls out dirt, sunscreen and pollen, and it keeps going until it packs full.
You notice it three ways. Pressure climbs on the gauge. Return flow gets weak. Then the water stays a little cloudy, no matter how much chlorine you add.
We pull cartridges and wash them pleat by pleat. DE grids get cleaned, then recharged. For sand, we backwash, though worn sand stops filtering and needs a sand change. If the tank is cracked or the internals are shot, that turns into pool filter repair or a new filter installation.
Most pools here need the filter cleaned a few times a year. In spring, when the oak pollen hits, more often.
An attached spa holds far less water than your pool, and it runs hotter. So oils, lotion and leaves change the water there much faster.
We brush the spa walls, seats and steps, clean the waterline and the spillway, and check the jets and the circulation. Because the spa shares equipment with the pool, we look at both systems on the same visit.
We clean spas that are built into a pool. We do not service standalone spas or portable hot tubs. See what’s included on our spa cleaning page.
That white line at your waterline is calcium. A brush will not take it off.
North Texas tap water carries calcium. All summer the water evaporates, but the calcium stays behind. First it crusts the tile. Later it scales the heater and the salt cell.
We take the buildup off without hurting the tile or the grout behind it. If the scale has spread onto the plaster, that is a bigger job, and an acid wash handles it.
Buying a house with a pool? Have the pool inspected before you close. It is one of the most expensive systems on the property, and it hides its problems well from the deck.
We run the equipment and go through it piece by piece: pump, filter, heater, automation, lights, plus the surface, the tile and the water itself. Then you get a clear picture of what works, what is near the end of its life, and what it will cost to put right.
A tired pump or a cracked filter tank is worth knowing about before it becomes yours. If the report turns up something broken, pool repairs come next, and worn out gear falls under equipment installation. Book one on our professional pool inspections page.
North Texas pools get hit from every side. Spring storms and wind push leaves, pollen and dirt into the water. Summer afternoons often top 100 degrees, and that sun burns through chlorine fast. A pool that held chlorine fine in March can sit at zero by Tuesday in July, and the CDC is blunt about why that matters.
We work on these pools every week, so we plan around the storms and the heat instead of reacting to them. You get a set day, the same checklist every visit, and a straight answer about your equipment. If your pool has already gone green, start with green to clean. If the pump has quit, that is pool pump repair.
Cleaning is one piece of it. Here is the rest of what we handle.
One company for the whole pool: weekly cleaning, repairs, equipment installs and remodeling across North Texas.
Pump, filter and heater repair, so the water moves, heats and filters the way it should. Cleaning cannot fix a pump that has quit.
New pumps, filters, heaters and lights, sized for your pool and installed so circulation stays strong and the power bill stays sane.
Acid wash, green to clean, automation, sand changes and salt systems, for the jobs that fall outside a regular cleaning visit.
HOAs, hotels, apartments and public pools count on our commercial pool services to stay clean and open for their swimmers.
New finishes, tile, coping, decking and water features for a pool that looks tired even when the water is clean.
The questions we get asked most, answered straight. If yours is not here, call (214) 922-1914 and ask.
It depends on the size of your pool, how much tree cover it sits under and the plan you pick. Our service starts at $179+/month, and our weekly pool service page lays out the plans.
Most pools here need cleaning once a week, all year. Leaves, pollen and summer heat do not take a season off. Every other week usually costs more in chemicals than it saves in service.
A pool cleaning service includes skimming, brushing the walls and waterline, vacuuming, emptying the baskets, testing the water and balancing the chemicals. Southern Pool + Outdoors also checks the pump and filter pressure on every visit.
No, you do not need to be home for pool cleaning. We only need access through the gate on your service day. If a dog uses the yard, tell us and we will work out the timing with you.
Chemicals are part of what we manage on every visit. Call (214) 922-1914 and we will spell out exactly what your monthly price covers before you sign up, so there are no surprises later.
A pool filter in Texas usually needs cleaning a few times a year, and more often during spring pollen season. The pressure gauge tells you when. Once pressure climbs well above its clean reading, flow is dropping. Our filter cleaning page covers each filter type.
A pool turns green in summer because heat and sunlight burn off chlorine faster than most owners expect. In a week of 100-degree days, chlorine can hit zero. Then one storm full of leaves gives algae everything it needs.
Yes, Texas pools still need cleaning in winter. Leaves keep falling, and water left alone stains plaster and scales tile, heaters and salt cells. Maintaining a pool costs far less than recovering one in April.
On the first visit, Southern Pool + Outdoors tests the water, looks over the equipment and cleans the pool. Then you get a straight answer about the shape it is really in. Anything needing repair, you hear about first.
Yes, plenty of homeowners clean their own pools. It takes about an hour a week, plus a working handle on your water chemistry. When the chemistry starts to feel like a second job, that is usually when people call us.
