We wanted to be sure and send warm wishes to all the moms for a Happy Mother's Day! Let's also take a moment to honor and remember those who have sacrificed for our country this Memorial Day. And of course, let's not forget to squeeze in some fiesta time for Cinco de Mayo celebrations!

Happy Easter and April, Y'all! These months are just flying by! Now if all this pollen will just fly on outta here and leave us be!

Have a fabulous February! 

Here are some tips to help protect your swimming pool should the mercury drop below freezing:

​QUICK NOTES:
*If your system is automated with controls, freeze mode will automatically kick in and stay in place as long as the temps are at 32 degrees or lower.
*If you have time clock trippers you will need to remove both the ON and OFF trippers so that the equipment will continuously run.
 
**For more information:
If you still have your pool operational, make sure you run the water through the filtration system while we are under the threat of freezing temperatures.  As the outside temps fall below freezing, and your pool is not winterized, make sure to run your system as long as the temps are below 32 degrees.

Should you have an equipment failure or power outage that prevents you from running your system, make sure to turn the breakers off and remove all the winterizing plugs from your equipment to keep it from freezing and bursting.

Every pump has a plug in the basket chamber that should be removed – including the automatic cleaner’s booster pump. The filter tank will either have a plug or a cap that needs to be removed to let the water drain out. And if you have a chlorinator, salt cell, or heater remove any plugs on them.

Lastly, protect your skimmer against freeze by stuffing an empty – but with the top secured – ½ gallon milk jug or 2-liter soda bottle into the skimmer and put the skimmer lid back on. You want something collapsible that will absorb the expansion of water into ice to keep the plastic skimmer body from cracking.

If you need a LIFE LINE feel free to PHONE A FRIEND at 713-665-4441, text us at 832-780-5955, or email us at [email protected].      

Thank you for wonderful 2023! We wish you a happy, healthy and prosperous 2024 and look forward to serving you in the New Year and beyond!  We will be taking a break and not posting a newsletter to start the year and will restart our monthly newsletters in February.

Oh, my goodness! It totally slipped our minds with all the Holiday hub bub going on to post a blog for this month and a link to December's newsletter!  Better late than never!

We will just keep it short and sweet and pause and wish you, your family and friends a very Merry Christmas! Be sure to check out this month's newsletter by clicking on the link below!  

Hello all! This year is truly coming to a close! Holidays are literally around the corner, and we'll soon be changing our calendars to read 2024. Yikes!

Since we're in the "thick" of the fall season, be sure to remember to: 
*Keep your skimmer baskets free of debris.
*Check the bag of your Polaris, or pool sweep, and empty any debris and/or leaves.
*If you have a pool heater, and haven't checked it already, fire it up to be sure it's in proper working order. Give us a shout at 713-665-4441 if it isn't and we can schedule a service technician to come out and take a look.

Lastly, be sure to click on the link and check out this month's newsletter. We've thrown a few articles and tidbits in there for you.

And, as always, we're in the office weekdays until 5 PM and our Retail Store is open weekdays from 9 AM until 5 PM and on Saturday from 9 AM until 3 PM.

Wishing everyone a wonderful November and Happy Thanksgiving!
