Pool Care in the Town the Pecan Built
Seguin doesn’t do pretense. This is a town that put a giant pecan in front of the courthouse, named itself the home of the world’s largest one, and got on with things, the way it has since 1838. It’s one of the oldest towns in Texas, it builds real things in real plants, and it knows the difference between somebody selling a story and somebody doing a job.
We fit that. Poncho’s Pool Services is a family-owned outfit from New Braunfels, twenty minutes up the road, and Seguin’s been part of our working territory long enough that we know exactly what pools here are up against. And what they’re up against, more than anything else, is the very thing the town is famous for. Pecan trees are glorious, historic, and generous, and they are the single hardest tree in Texas to own a swimming pool under. Husks, leaves, catkins, and the nuts themselves rain into pools around here for months at a stretch, and pecan debris doesn’t just clog a skimmer. It sinks, sits, and prints brown tannin stains straight onto plaster.
We know the fight, and we win it weekly all over town through our pool cleaning and pool repair services, at a price that respects how Seguin thinks about money. So if your pool is stained, green, cloudy, or just plain tired of losing to the trees, call or text (830) 362-0654 and let us take over the battle.

What Makes Seguin Pools Different
Three things shape pool care in this town, and none of them apply quite the same way anywhere else we work.
First, the pecans, and they deserve top billing. Seguin sits in the heart of pecan country, and mature trees shade yards in nearly every established neighborhood, from the blocks around Texas Lutheran University to the streets out toward Starcke Park. A pecan canopy drops something into your pool most of the year: catkins in spring, shucks and early nuts through late summer, then the main leaf-and-husk dump in fall. Every stage stains. Tannins from pecan debris mark plaster faster than nearly any other tree litter, which means a Seguin pool needs debris out fast, filtration running strong, and chemistry that never drifts. That’s a weekly-service town, plain and simple.
Second, the water life. Between the Guadalupe River curling through town, Starcke Park’s riverside stretch, and the lake houses on Lake Placid and Lake McQueeney, Seguin lives on the water all summer. Waterfront-home pools carry their own patterns: heavy weekend use, guests tracking in river water, properties that sit quiet between visits, and owners who want the pool guest-ready without thinking about it. Photo-report service was practically invented for them.
Third, the town’s two speeds. Old Seguin has pools that have been in the ground for decades, running older pumps and filters that reward a repair-first mindset. New Seguin is growing fast along I-10 and Highway 46, with builder pools needing first-season startup care. One crew has to be fluent in both, and our weekly service routes cover both ends of town every week.
The Pool Problems We Fix Most in Seguin
The calls that fill our Seguin route, and the service that answers each one.
Brown Tannin Stains from Pecan Debris
The signature Seguin pool problem. Fresh stains often lift with chemical treatment, set-in staining responds to an acid wash that resets the surface, and our weekly service gets the debris out before it ever gets the chance to print.
Skimmers and Filters Buried in Husks
A pecan canopy can fill baskets in days during the fall drop. Our Weekly Pool Service keeps up with the load, and Filter Cleaning keeps all that organic matter from strangling your circulation and clouding the water.
Green Pools at Lake Houses and Weekend Places
A quiet stretch between visits is all algae needs in a Seguin summer. Our Green to Clean recovery has water swimmable in days, and steady weekly service keeps a lake-house pool ready for whoever shows up Friday.
Older Pumps and Filters on Established Pools
In-town pools have been working for decades, and their equipment shows it. Our Pool Pump Repair fixes what deserves fixing, and a variable-speed upgrade pays for itself on the electric bill when replacement is truly the smarter call.
Sand Filters Long Past Their Prime
Old media can't catch fine pecan silt, so the water stays dull no matter what you add. Our Sand Change service re-beds the filter, with Filter Repair when the tank itself is the problem instead of the media inside it.
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 along the waterline through the hot months.
Builder Pools in the New Subdivisions
Seguin's fast growth along I-10 means brand-new pools needing careful first-season chemistry to protect their fresh plaster. Our weekly service handles the startup stretch and teaches first-time owners their equipment pad in plain English from day one.
Heaters, Spas, and the Want-It-Warm Months
Spa season is long here and heater failures pick the worst nights. Our Heater Repair and Spa Repair keep warm water alive, with salt and automation available for owners who are ready to modernize the whole setup.

The Pecan Owner's Pool Survival Guide
If your backyard has a mature pecan, you own both a treasure and a maintenance schedule. Here’s how we keep the two living together, learned across years of Seguin backyards.
Know the calendar. Pecans hit pools in three waves: stringy catkins in late spring, shucks and early drops through summer, then the big leaf-and-husk dump from October into winter. Each wave needs the same response at different intensity: debris out fast, baskets emptied often, filter pressure watched closely. Our routes flex with the tree calendar, because a fixed-effort service loses to a pecan every fall.
Speed beats everything on stains. Pecan tannins begin printing on plaster within days of debris settling. A pool skimmed twice a week through the drop season simply doesn’t stain, while a pool cleaned monthly ends up shopping for an acid wash. Don’t blame the chlorine, either: tannin-tinted water after a big drop looks like algae and tempts people into shock-and-hope, but it’s tea, not biology. The fix is removal and filtration.
Winter is the quiet trap. The last husks that settle in December sit on plaster all winter if nobody removes them, and spring reveals the stains they left. A monthly off-season once-over, or simply staying on weekly service year-round, is what keeps March from delivering a nasty surprise. The pools that look best at opening in this town are the ones that never really closed.
And if the stains already won a round, there’s a path back. Chemical treatment lifts fresh marks, an acid wash resets a set-in surface, and honest advice tells you which you actually need. We’ll never sell the bigger fix when the smaller one will do.
Pool Service Plans Built for Seguin 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. Under pecan canopy or on a weekend-house schedule, this is the plan that wins in this town, season after season.
Chemical Only Plan
Professional water balancing while you run the net and brush yourself. Premium chemicals, basket emptying, equipment checks, and filter cleaning twice a year. It suits hands-on owners with lighter tree cover and a bit of free time.

Pool Service in Seguin, TX: Frequently Asked Questions
Here are the questions Seguin pool owners ask us most, from pecan stains and lake houses to older equipment. If you don’t see yours, we’re a phone call away.
It depends on your pool's size, condition, equipment, and honestly, your trees. Pecan-heavy lots carry a bigger debris load and sometimes warrant a different plan than open yards. We quote every Seguin pool individually. Call (830) 362-0654 and you'll have a straight number, usually the same day.
Almost certainly, and you're in the most pecan-stained town in Texas, so you're in good company. Tannins from husks and leaves print onto plaster within days of settling. Fresh stains often lift with chemical treatment, set-in ones typically need an acid wash, and we'll tell you honestly which yours needs before any work starts.
Yes, because we plan for it rather than react to it. Baskets emptied every visit, skimmer socks during peak weeks, deliberate brushing of the corners where husks gather, and filter pressure watched closely. The drop season is exactly why weekly service exists in this town.
That's a specialty of ours. We schedule waterfront pools late in the week so the water peaks when your people arrive, service happens whether you're there or not, and a photo report confirms everything after each visit. Your Friday arrival should start with a swim, not a skimmer.
Gladly, and better than most. Established Seguin pools run equipment other companies only quote to replace. We repair what deserves repairing, from pumps to filters to heaters, and when something's genuinely done, we show you why and price the options plainly.
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. If the pool belongs to a weekend place, ongoing service keeps it from ever turning again.
Probably not. That's tannin discoloration from pecan and oak litter steeping in your pool, and shocking it like algae wastes money. The real fix is debris removal, strong filtration, and targeted treatment. It clears properly when it's handled as what it is.
Calcium scale from hard water, concentrated by summer evaporation. Once hardened, household scrubbing won't move it. Our tile cleaning strips it safely, and weekly chemistry slows the rebuild.
No. Gate access is all we need, and every visit ends with a photo report, which is exactly how our lake-house and busy-family customers run it. If you're home, we're glad to say hello. If you're not, the pool gets the same treatment.
All of Seguin and the 78155, including downtown, the Texas Lutheran University area, Starcke Park neighborhoods, Lake Placid, and the new I-10 subdivisions, plus McQueeney, Geronimo, and the corridor back to New Braunfels.
