Pool service in Austin

Service Levels

Every pool is a little different, and so is every owner. We offer four service levels so you can pick the level of care that fits your pool, your routine, and your budget. Chemicals are always included, no matter which level you choose.

Chemistry Only

Just the chemistry. We balance your water and supply all chemicals each visit, and you handle the rest of the cleaning yourself.

Chemistry Plus

Chemistry, plus equipment inspection, baskets cleaned, your robot emptied, and a backwash when needed.

Full Service

Everything in Chemistry Plus, with weekly netting, vacuuming, and brushing. The complete weekly visit.

VIP

Full Service plus weekly LSI balancing for the longest possible pool life, and front-of-queue priority on repairs.

Essential water chemistry always includes balancing free chlorine and pH. When needed and reasonable, the technician will also measure and adjust cyanuric acid, calcium, and bicarbonate.

For Full Service, the technician removes at least 90% of debris per visit. For VIP, at least 99%.

LSI is a multivariable calculation that represents the likelihood of pool water either corroding equipment or leaving scale and stains on pool surfaces. Weekly LSI balancing is tedious work, but it gives your pool surface and equipment the longest possible life.

Trusted by Hundreds of Pool Owners

"I've been using PhD Pool Care for about 2.5 years. They're always on time, keep our water looking clear blue, and have been so helpful when I need troubleshooting or repairs. My technician even offers advice beyond the paid service. Great value."

Google Vanessa Janes

"PhD Pool Care has been absolutely wonderful this year! They have been extremely thorough in cleanings and prompt in communications. I have been using them for both chemical only and full service depending upon my ability to service my own pool. I highly recommend them for any and all services."

Google Jesse Greenwald

"PhD Pools were recommended by a top pool inspector in our area. They turned our pool around and have taken great care of it and our Jacuzzi ever since. Quality work at a fair price. Our technician (Derek) was knowledgeable, dependable, honest, and always available to answer questions or address concerns. Highly recommend!"
