Now is a Great Time to Have a Pool Heater
ByGohlke Pools March 20, 2026June 1, 2026

With ambient temperatures now starting to get into at least the 80’s consistently and occasionally the 90’s, pool water temperatures are increasing as well. As of this writing (March 20th), average pool water temperatures in the Denton area are in the mid 60’s—of course this depends on if the pool is shaded, if it has a dark surface, etc. For most of us, the pool water is still too cold to enjoy a swim. According to the National Oceanographic Data Center, 70-78 degrees is where most people feel comfortable swimming. I am not sure who “most people” are, but from what I have observed, 70-78 degrees is still a bit too cold for most of us north Texans. Although I have already seen some children…

ByGohlke Pools March 19, 2026June 1, 2026

The weather has really warmed up recently and it appears that the cold weather is now behind us. We can almost be assured that we have had the last freeze of winter 2025/2026, as our average last freeze is on March 12th, and there does not appear to be any cold weather in the long-range forecast. What does this mean to pool owners? It means that now is the time to begin preparing your swimming pool for the summer. Algae grows best between pH levels of 7 and 9 and algae growth really begins to increase at water temperatures of 60 degrees. With pool water pH levels being in that pH range, and with pool water temperatures in the Denton area in the mid 60’s,…

Hot Tub Purchasing Tips
ByGohlke Pools March 17, 2026April 1, 2026

Hot tubs have continued to increase in popularity in recent years. There are many reasons for this recent trend, such as: With that being said, purchasing a hot tub can be fairly complicated—especially with the differences in quality and price that are currently in the marketplace. In order to help simplify it, we have put together answers to some of the most common questions about hot tub ownership: What is the difference between a hot tub, a spa, and a Jacuzzi? Typically, a hot tub is considered portable, as it is a totally self-contained unit that sits above the ground. One of the advantages of a hot tub is that you can move it (much like you move furniture). When someone refers to the term spa, they…

New Pools Remodels Service Request

David C

Albert did a great job communicating throughout... from swinging by before repair to ensure correct sizing/equipment, through quoting, ordering, scheduling time and completing repair. Top notch, very professional and great experience. Thanks, Albert!

Kevin Nowak

I just want to compliment Gohlke Pools for 14 years of service to our family. I want to especially thank them for their skilled repair techs. Albert has done a lot of maintenance work for us and his skills and professionalism are top notch. It is my pleasure to recommend Gohlke for regular service, maintenance, or new construction.

Cristina Cueto

We recently hired Gohlke Pools to remodel our patio and add on an outdoor kitchen. An important feature of the kitchen was a large pizza oven I ordered that from delivery to installation added a lot of complexity to our project. Bill, our project manager, handled every challenge I threw at him with patience and grace. There was some minor damage to the oven during shipping and before they installed it Bill spent a week hunting down replacement tile to repair the damage so I’d never know the difference. The oven looks perfect! Every member of every crew they had at our house were very skilled professionals but I must give a special thanks to their stonemasons, Jesus and Osvaldo. The fireplace they created for us is gorgeous. We couldn’t be happier with our new patio and I can’t recommend Gohlke Pools enough.

Gohlke did a great job building us an outdoor kitchen with a pizza oven and remodeling our large patio including resurfacing the concrete. Always on schedule, all over the worker were a class act. Bill supervising the job was a real pro and great to deal with. Placing a 3000 pound oven was a challenge and they made it look easy. Real attention to detail. This is a great company!

Julie and Brittany are amazingly helpful and courteous. Thank you both for your help.

Leslie Farris

Travis is the BEST!!

Bryan Beck

They go above and beyond to make sure that our pool is running properly. Technicians, service guys, repairs, new construction, and the office staff are all super helpful and friendly.

Rachel Sullivan

DFW Hot Tubs made the entire hot tub buying experience easy and enjoyable. Pablo was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and kind, guiding me through every step and helping my family choose the perfect spa for our needs. He provided clear education on care and maintenance, and his support has continued even after the purchase. I highly recommend DFW Hot Tubs and specifically Pablo for his professionalism and outstanding customer service!

Stacey Luce

WOW! Just WOW! We couldn’t be happier with our first pool! It’s a huge investment, and you want to feel confident and comfortable with your decision. From the first meet-and-greet to Matt and Connor checking in after completion, we are so thankful we chose Gohlke Pools. Communication gets 100 stars! We received regular email updates throughout the project with timelines and progress reports. Connor was extremely helpful with design ideas and changes, and Matt was always present—taking care of anything and everything promptly. Caden did a fantastic job with our “pool school” at the end. He was patient, answered every question, and genuinely wanted us to feel prepared. The entire process was smooth, and they even finished ahead of schedule. We were also impressed with each subcontractor—the quality of their work and the respect they had for our property were outstanding. Subias, the recommended landscaper, was wonderful to work with, and Javier Subias was incredibly helpful in planning our outdoor design. All in all, we were so impressed with Gohlke that we’ve decided to use them for our weekly service as well. THANK YOU, GOHLKE POOLS, for making our experience so positive!
