What we specify on a Dallas pool
| Item | Why |
|---|---|
| Variable-speed pump | Required by federal efficiency rules on new installs and cuts pump electricity by 60 to 80 percent versus single-speed. Runs quietly at low speed all day. |
| Cartridge filter | No backwashing, which means no wasted water during a drought-restriction summer. Oversized so you clean it two or three times a year. |
| Salt chlorine generator | Steady sanitizer without hauling chlorine. Softer water. Sized above the pool volume so it keeps up in August. |
| Heater or heat pump | Gas for spas and quick heat, heat pump for economy and pool cooling. |
| Automation with freeze protection | Pump schedules, lights, heater and features from your phone. When the air drops toward freezing the pump runs and the lines keep moving, which is what saved pools in the February 2021 storm. |
| In-floor or robotic cleaning | Live oak leaves in spring and cottonwood in summer are a Dallas fact of life. We size the cleaning system to it. |
Freeze-proofing the pad
Every equipment pad we build gets freeze protection on the automation, a manual winterizing drain on the pump and filter, and a heater with its own freeze guard. If your current pad has none of that, we can add it to an existing system in a day.
Hard water, handled
North Texas water runs moderately hard, and a pool that evaporates through a Texas summer concentrates it. We set the salt system, the finish and the start-up chemistry so calcium stays in solution instead of on your tile.
How it works
- Estimate. We walk the yard, check access, grade and setbacks, and talk through what you want. Free, and usually under an hour.
- 3D design. You see the pool, deck, spa and features together in 3D before anything is dug. Shape, finish, lighting, all of it.
- Fixed quote. A line-item quote. Excavation, shell, plumbing, equipment, finish, coping, deck and barrier each priced on their own line.
- Build. An insured North Texas pool builder takes it from here, pulls the permit with your city, and builds to the approved design.
- Walkthrough. Once it passes final inspection you walk the finished pool with your builder, get the warranties, and learn how to run the equipment.
