Water Chemistry 101
ByMatt Gohlke November 10, 2010

Now that cooler weather has set in, most pools aren’t being used. Many pool owners tend to put pool water chemistry on the back burner. However the it is critical to keep the water balanced all year long to reduce water clarity problems, control algae and bacteria growth, and maintain overall condition of the surface of the pool and its equipment. Below are the ideal test ranges: pH – 7.4-7.6 Total Alkalinity – 80-120ppm Calcium Hardness – 200-400ppm Chlorine – 2-4ppm Cyanuric Acid – 30-90ppm pH – pH is the measure of how acidic or basic the water is.

Labor Day has come and gone, which means Fall is right around the corner. Most pool owners hate this time of year because they know they are about to start the battle against the leaves. Why not be ready for them? There are many things pool owners can do to help make this time of year easier on themselve #1 – Arm Yourself It is important to make sure your leaf removal tools are at the ready, so when the leaves really start falling you are prepared.

Keep Your Pool Cool
ByMatt Gohlke August 12, 2010

Summer is definitely here and pool water is rapidly becoming more bath like. So much so, I hear people say it is too hot to even swim. There are ways to decrease that pool water temperature and make it more enjoyable. #1 – Increase Water Evaporation I know increasing evaporation is not something that you normally want to do, but you lose most of your heat through evaporation. The more water you lose, the cooler the rest of the water stays. The best way to do this is by running a waterfall or fountain at night. If you don’t have a fountain there are ones that can be easily added to any pool. These are relatively inexpensive and the operating cost is no more than just…

Newsletter – December 2009
ByMatt Gohlke January 11, 2010

According to the local meterologists we are going to get some pretty cold temperatures Friday, so I wanted to take this opportunity to make sure everyone is prepared to keep thier pool equipment from freezing. Below are some steps to make sure nothing gets damaged. Keep the Equipment Running Moving water has a hard time freezing, so usually your best option to prevent freeze damage is keeping everything going. A lot of pools have freeze guards that will automatically do that for you. It is important to make sure that the main pump is running whether is is turned on by the freeze guard or manually if you don’t have one. If you have a booster pump for a cleaner, running the main pump also…

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve had the opportunity to have Joey Gallagher service my hot tub several times. He has always treated his customers with courtesy, professionalism, respect  and genuine care he shows to them. I’ve learned quite a lot from him about the hot tub. I would definitely recommend him to any of your customer base.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gohlke (Gary) replaced my pump with VSP Pentair. I then had them (Dale and crew) come replace the Mastic. Getting great service I had Eli give us a quote come back to replace the Tile, pool
Light and replaster. Bill was the project manager and couldn't ask for anyone better.  I was nervous about the project but after one visit he had my complete trust.
Everyone has been so professional and knowledgeable.  I love my pool.  Can't thank everyone enough.  Special thanks to Gary, Bill, Dale, Eli, all the pool cleaners Aaron, Miguel (a couple more).
Gohlke is now my goto for Pool Care.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a great experience speaking with Connor from Gohlke Pools. Although my home is outside their service area and they were not able to come out to fix my pool’s built-in freeze protection system, Connor was incredibly helpful and generous with his time.

He took the time to review the pictures and information I provided, carefully assess the situation, and explain his diagnosis and possible solutions to me—all without charging me anything. He also went the extra mile by referring me to a company that is closer to my home and may be able to handle the repair.

I truly appreciate Connor’s professionalism, knowledge, kindness, and willingness to help even though he could not take on the job himself. His generosity and customer service really stood out to me. I highly recommend Gohlke Pools, and especially appreciate the assistance I received from Connor!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I contacted these guys for a chiller to be installed for my Inground pool. I was very skeptical if it would actually work in this Texas heat. I have zero shade trees. Decided to just do it and it’s amazing!! Our pool went from feeling like bath water to COLD! We run it at night and that’s it. Did not raise my electric bill like I thought either. Install was amazing. Customer service was and is amazing! If you’re on the fence, DO IT!

Evan and Anthony from Gohlke Pools installed a device  to regulate the pool's water level for our pool
(a fill-o-matic). In hot afternoon summer sun they both worked diligently to get it done.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have worked with several people at Gohlke. Evan, Daniel and Cody for pool maintenance and repairs. They are courteous and attentive. They listen carefully to issues or questions we have and take time to give us informative responses.

Travis has repaired issues with the equipment and is very thorough and will the share information regarding the repairs.

The office staff is equally responsible and pleasant to communicate with regarding billing and any questions we may have.

Gohlke is a good company to work with.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Korbin came and looked at our very old Thermospa. We decided that repairs would not be cost effective. He tried a couple of repairs but were unsuccessful. Korbin told me about spa removal and we made the decision that it was time for our hot tub to go.
A week later Korbin and some other techs arrived on time and the spa was removed in less than an hour. Everyone was helpful and courteous.
Korbin & the rest of the crew were very good representives of your company.  Thanks for a good experience.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The team has been amazing in the entire pool process came up with a design I just love for my backyard. The selection process was not overwhelming. The construction team was there to make sure tasks were completed timely. They continue to help even after the build with questions. I continue to use them for the cleaning after the build. They know the pool and they are keeping it amazing each time I walk outside.
