Texas-Specific Maintenance Schedule
• Skim surface debris - pollen, leaves, dust blow in constantly • Check water level - 1-2 inches evaporation per week in 100°F+ heat • Visual inspection for algae or discoloration • Test water chemistry (pH, clarity, nutrients) • Measure water temperature (action needed above 82°F) • Inspect equipment for heat damage or UV degradation • Trim and manage aquatic plants (grow rapidly in heat) • Service UV sterilizers and lighting systems
Green Water / Algae Blooms
Cause: Intense sun, high temperatures, excess nutrients Solution: Add floating plants for shade, increase circulation, reduce nutrient sources, consider UV sterilizer
Rapid Water Loss
Cause: High evaporation rates (normal) or leaks (problematic) Solution: Track daily levels, add shade structures, check for liner damage, install auto-fill system
Water Too Warm
Cause: 100°F+ air temperatures, insufficient circulation Solution: Increase circulation at night, add shade, install fountain/waterfall for evaporative cooling
Clogged Filters
Cause: Constant dust, pollen, debris from dry Texas conditions Solution: Clean filters 2x more frequently than other climates, upgrade to larger capacity, add pre-filters
