As the trusted pool care experts serving Round Rock to Lake Travis, we at Pegasus Pools understand that maintaining a saltwater pool requires both expertise and dedication. While saltwater pools are increasingly popular among homeowners in Westlake, Barton Creek, and Circle C Ranch for their gentle, low-chlorine experience, they need professional attention to maintain that resort-like feeling. Let our certified technicians share insider tips for keeping your saltwater pool pristine throughout our hot Texas summers.
Understanding Your Saltwater Pool’s Unique Needs
Unlike traditional chlorine pools, saltwater pools use a sophisticated chlorination system that converts salt into sanitizer. While this creates a more natural swimming experience, it requires specialized knowledge to maintain optimal performance. Our certified technicians regularly service saltwater pools throughout the Austin area, from Lakeway to Round Rock, and we’ve developed a comprehensive approach to saltwater pool care.
Professional Tips for Pristine Pool Water
1. Maintain Precise Water Chemistry
Our certified technicians test for more than just basic chlorine levels. For optimal performance, your saltwater pool should maintain:
- pH levels between 7.2–7.8
- Salinity levels of 2,500–4,000 ppm (varies by system)
- Stabilizer levels of 60-80 ppm
- Total alkalinity of 80-120 ppm
2. Salt Cell Maintenance: The Heart of Your System
The salt cell is crucial for your pool’s sanitization system. Many Austin pool owners don’t realize that our hard water can cause calcium buildup more quickly than in other regions. Our technicians recommend:
- Monthly inspections of the salt cell
- Professional cleaning every 3-4 months
- Replacement every 3-5 years, depending on usage
3. Professional Monitoring for Texas-Sized Challenges
Central Texas weather can be particularly demanding on pool systems. From cedar pollen in winter to intense summer heat, your pool faces unique challenges. That’s why we’ve developed our Pegasus Flex Care program, designed specifically for Austin-area pools.
