Do I Really Need a Swimming Pool?
ByMatt Gohlke December 23, 2010

This simple question is one that everyone should consider before taking the plunge. I am not naïve enough to believe that swimming pools are for everyone—each situation is different. Many people who have pools would probably be better off without them, due to time, financial, and other issues. There are many things to consider when trying to determine if a pool would fit your needs. Following are some questions to consider when weighing the pros and cons of pool ownership. Does it fit the needs of our family? Being able to enjoy time at home with your family is priceless. Being able to stay home to beat the heat is much more desirable than having to get in the car to go to another location…

ByMatt Gohlke June 8, 2020

Now that COVID-19 has swept the nation, many people are asking—“What can we do to keep it from getting even worse?” The answer to that question is for all of us to follow the CDC guidelines, which includes using sodium hypochlorite to clean and disinfect surfaces. Sodium hypochlorite is used as a component of the cleaning and disinfection protocol for many facilities. It is well-known for its ability to kill many bacteria & viruses. It is also known as liquid chlorine, which is a product that we stock in our Retail Store—Hasa Sani-Clor.

Swimming Pool Maintenance Tips
ByMatt Gohlke June 5, 2024

It has been an extremely wet spring so far. But now that we are into June, temperatures are beginning to rise into the 90’s on a fairly regular basis and based on our weather history, the rainy weather will likely lessen. Before long, we will likely be seeing 100 degrees, as our average first day to reach 100 degrees is July 1st. With that being said, we know that as the temperatures continue to heat up, swimming pool use will continue to increase, and regular pool maintenance becomes even more important. In order for pools to remain clean and clear, they require weekly maintenance. When it comes to weekly pool care and maintenance, there are basically two options: If you are interested in maintaining the…

It’s Time To Get Your Swimming Pool Ready!
ByMatt Gohlke April 8, 2013

What will the weather be for the next few months? Pete Delkus, chief meteorologist at ABC affiliate WFAA-TV in Dallas, showed a weather pattern map on March 28th that provides some insight on what to expect. The map indicated that the Dallas/Fort Worth area forecast for the months of April, May, & June would be normal rainfall and above average temperatures. Obviously we are not sure if this forecast will be accurate, but we can rest assured that it will be hot very soon. What does this mean to pool owners? It means that now is the time to begin preparing your swimming pool for the summer. Having a clear, sparkling pool is often the result of getting an early start and then being consistent…

Treatment for Brown Pool Due to Recent Flooding
ByMatt Gohlke June 2, 2015

Due to the recent flooding that the Denton area has experienced, some pools have turned brown. Depending on the severity of the problem, in some cases it might be necessary to drain and refill the pool. But we have found that in most cases, the following treatment will solve the problem. Recommended Treatment for Chlorine and Saltwater Pools: Adjust pH to approximately 7.2 and maintain the pH level at this level throughout this process. Superchlorinate the pool using one of the following chlorines: Liquid chlorine—add 1 gallon of liquid per 10,000 gallons of pool water. Granular chlorine—add 1 lb. of Turbo-Shock per 10,000 gallons of pool water. Please be aware that both of these products will raise the pH and muriatic acid will need to…

 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!

We buy all of our supplies from them! They are very friendly in the store. I've had a few issues with repairs they've done for me, like tile replacement. I wasn't really satisfied with it but they do always try to make it up in other ways.
They fixed this area about 3 years ago.  I didn't feel that the guy really knew what he was doing. It didn't really look good at all. I called and he came back to fix it but within a year it started coming off again. I don't think the right grout was used. The original pool has been on there for 30 years so I don't know why the repair wouldn't last longer than a year or 2.

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.
Thank you Gentlemen

 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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wes Gohlke did an excellent job guiding us through the design process.  As first time pool owners, we relied heavily on Wes and his expertise.  Wes worked hard to keep us within budget and he provided options that kept the price point where we needed to be.  He did a great job trying to understand what we wanted and we’re very happy with final product.  We can’t thank Wes, and the team at Gohlke Pools, enough for making our dream pool a reality.
