Pool Care for a City on the Move
Schertz sits right on the I-35 corridor between San Antonio and New Braunfels, and it has grown fast. Older ranch-style homes near the center of town share a zip code with brand-new subdivisions, and a lot of families here are military households near JBSA-Randolph who move on a schedule the Air Force sets, not the pool.
That mix means we see every kind of pool in Schertz: decades-old plaster with original equipment, builder pools still in their first summer, and pools that changed owners mid-season and need someone to figure out what the last owner was doing. Our job is the same for all of them: clear water, honest equipment calls, and a technician who shows up the same day every week.
Whether you need steady pool cleaning or a straight answer on pool repair, we treat Schertz like the core of our route it is.

We Are Experts With:
What Makes Schertz Pools Different
Three things shape pool care here. First, the ground. Much of Schertz sits on dark Blackland clay that swells in wet spells and shrinks in drought, so decks, coping, and buried plumbing take more stress than they would on Hill Country rock. We keep an eye out for new cracks and pressure changes and tell you early.
Second, the water. Like the rest of the region, Schertz water is hard, so calcium scale builds on tile and salt cells unless chemistry stays balanced week after week.
Third, the calendar. Between PCS moves, deployments, and busy commutes up and down I-35, plenty of Schertz pools go unattended for stretches. Our weekly service with a photo report every visit means the pool stays right even when nobody is home to look at it.
The Pool Problems We Fix Most in Schertz
The calls that fill our Schertz route, and how we handle each one.
Decks and Plumbing on Shifting Clay
Blackland clay swells when it is wet and shrinks in drought, which can stress decks, coping, and buried plumbing. We watch for new cracks, leaks, and pressure changes and flag them early.
Scale Creeping Along the Waterline
Hard Texas water leaves its calcium mark on tile here like everywhere in the region. Our Pool Tile Cleaning strips the buildup properly, and balanced weekly chemistry slows how fast it comes back through the hot months.
Brand-New Pools in Their First Seasons
Fresh plaster needs careful first-season chemistry to cure evenly and avoid staining. Our weekly service handles the startup stretch and walks first-time owners through their equipment pad in plain English.
Green Water After a Trip
A week of Texas heat with nobody checking chemistry is all it takes. Our Green to Clean service brings the water back fast, and steady weekly care keeps it from happening again.
Older Equipment That Still Has Life
Plenty of pools here run equipment other companies only quote to replace. We repair what deserves repairing and show you plainly when something is truly done.
Filters Loaded with Debris and Pollen
Leaves, pollen, and fine dust load cartridges fast in spring and fall. A clean filter means clear water and less strain on the pump, so we keep yours on a real schedule.
Salt Cells Crusted with Scale
Hard water coats salt cell plates and quietly cuts chlorine output. We inspect and clean cells on schedule and tell you honestly when one is near the end of its life.
Heaters and Spas for Cool Evenings
Texas winters are short but chilly, and a heater that will not fire always picks the worst night. We repair gas heaters and heat pumps and keep attached spas clean and balanced.

Moving In or Moving Out? A Schertz Pool Checklist
Homes in Schertz change hands often, and the pool is usually the least documented part of the sale. If you just moved in, find the equipment pad, note the brand and model of the pump, filter, and heater, and check whether the pool runs on chlorine or salt. We can do this with you on the first visit and set a run schedule that fits the house.
If you are getting orders, start weekly service a few weeks before the move so the pool shows well and passes inspection. Buyers notice clear water, and inspectors notice worn equipment.
If you are renting the house out, put the pool on a full-service plan. Tenants rarely balance chemistry, and a green pool between leases costs far more to fix than a season of weekly service. For stained plaster on an older pool, an acid wash can bring it back before listing.
Pool Service Plans Built for Schertz Pools
Not every pool needs the same thing, so we keep it simple with two recurring plans. Pick the one that matches your trees and your patience, and we take care of the rest.
Full Service Plan
The whole load carried weekly: chemistry, skimming, brushing, vacuuming, baskets, and an equipment inspection every visit. For busy households and anyone who would rather just swim, this is the plan most Schertz owners pick.
Chemical Only Plan
Professional water balancing while you run the net and brush yourself. Premium chemicals, basket emptying, and equipment checks. It suits hands-on owners with lighter debris and a bit of free time.
Torn between the two? Tell us how much time you actually have, because in Schertz the busy schedule usually picks the plan by itself. Our Weekly Pool Service page has the details, and we’ll be straight about which fits, including when the cheaper option is honestly the right one.

Pool Service in Schertz, TX: Frequently Asked Questions
Here are the questions Schertz pool owners ask us most. If you don’t see yours, we’re a phone call away.
It depends on your pool's size, condition, equipment, and how much debris your yard throws at it. We quote every Schertz pool individually. Call (830) 362-0654 and you'll have a straight number, usually the same day.
Yes. Start weekly service a few weeks before you list so the water is clear and the equipment is checked. We'll tell you plainly about anything an inspector is likely to flag so there are no surprises at closing.
Schertz clay moves with the weather, so small cracks are common. Cracks that keep growing, water loss you can't explain, or a sudden drop in pump pressure can point to plumbing stress. We'll flag what we see and tell you when it's worth a closer look.
Right away. The first weeks after fresh plaster are when chemistry matters most. We handle startup brushing and balancing and teach you your equipment so nothing gets missed.
That's calcium scale from our hard Texas water. It builds every time water evaporates and leaves minerals behind. Our Pool Tile Cleaning removes it without damaging the tile, and balanced weekly chemistry slows how fast it returns.
Our green to clean recovery typically has water swimmable within a few days depending on severity. We shock, brush, filter hard, and clean the filter as the algae dies. Ongoing weekly service keeps it from turning again.
Gladly. We repair what deserves repairing, from pumps to filters to heaters, and when something is genuinely done, we show you why and price the options plainly.
All the time. We start with a full water test, check every piece of equipment, and give you a clear list of what needs fixing now and what can wait.
No. Gate access is all we need, and every visit ends with a photo report. If you're home, we're glad to say hello. If you're not, the pool gets the same treatment.
All of Schertz and the 78154, plus neighboring Cibolo and the I-35 corridor up to New Braunfels.
