I Promise That Summer Is Coming!

ByMatt Gohlke April 11, 2013 Gohlke Pools Blog Reading Time: 2 minutes

Two weeks ago I announced, based on many years of weather records and 50 years on this planet, that the cold weather was behind us and that pool season was near. I really believed that we had seen the last of temperatures in the 30’s, but I was wrong. I really shouldn’t be that surprised as the latest freeze on record is April 13^th, but that was way back in 1957. Although it doesn’t appear (cross your fingers) that we will break the record this year, we did get close to freezing this week.

Okay—I will announce it again—swim season is near! With the Masters Golf Tournament occurring this weekend, there is no turning back. I look at this golf tournament as the official beginning of spring. Another big event that will soon be here is our Annual Big Sale—which occurs April 18^th-21^st. It will be a great time and a great opportunity for pool owners to purchase your pool supplies at the lowest prices of the year.

Before long we will be complaining about the hot weather and longing for weather in the 30’s and 40’s. If you are a pool owner—I would encourage you to begin preparing your pool as it appears that swim season will be here soon. If we can help you in any way, give us a call at (940) 384-7665.

We hope to see you at our Annual Big Sale on April 18-21!

A 2014 Christmas Message
ByMatt Gohlke December 19, 2014August 13, 2026

A few years ago at the Pool Expo I attended a seminar by Clay Nelson (www.claynelsonlifebalance.com) that had an impact on my priorities and my life. I now receive his email newsletters and feel like the following information is worth sharing as we enter Christmas week. “As you sit down for a meal over the holidays, I’d like you to take on being really present to the people you are sitting at the table with. Think about it: What have you missed in previous years because all you can think about is the turkey not being moist enough…or the potatoes are lumpy…or your sister forgot to bring the whipped cream for the pumpkin pie…or the kids running amuck in the other room! The holidays are…

Five Keys to Pool Care
ByMatt Gohlke April 9, 2010

Five Tips for Getting Your Pool ready for Summer Although summer officially begins this year on June 20th, for most of us it has already begun. While many consider summer beginning on Memorial Day weekend, I have always considered summer beginning when the kids get out of school, which happened this week for most area schools. There is nothing in adulthood that can compare with the feeling of freedom that kids have when walking (or running) out of school on the last day—it is greatness! There are so many things to look forward to as summer begins—spending time with family and friends, summer camps, Six Flags, Rangers baseball, not having to wake up early…the list goes on and on. Another thing that many kids and…

Pool Heaters: Heat that Cool Water!
ByMatt Gohlke October 19, 2022

The weather has been wonderful as of late—we have had our share of warm days, but it is starting to cool down considerably, as has pool water. We certainly do not know what the future holds as far as weather goes, but rest assured that 85-degree pool water is over for this year. Average pool water temperatures in the Denton area are now in the high 60’s to low 70’s—of course this depends on if the pool is shaded, if it has a dark surface, etc. 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 a bit cold for most of…

The Pool at Graceland
ByMatt Gohlke January 23, 2011

I went to Washington, D.C. this past week for a swimming pool conference. When I was in one of my meetings, the conversation turned to the history of swimming pools at the White House. More about that pool next week. But the conversation reminded me of a vacation that my family and I took when my kids were younger. I never thought that I would do it. I had often laughed about it when other people talked about it. A few years ago my wife, my two young sons, and I found ourselves with 4 hours to kill in Memphis, Tennessee. My wife suggested that we visit Graceland—the home of Elvis Presley. In a weak moment, I cratered. I agreed to go under one condition—no…

Is A Swimming Pool Right For My Family?
ByMatt Gohlke February 16, 2014

Although it has been a very cold winter, the weather that we are currently experiencing has many homeowners thinking about being outdoors and the possibility of having a swimming pool installed. For some, this will be one of the best decisions that they have ever made for their family. But for others, it will not work out quite like they envisioned. I often get asked whether I believe if having a swimming pool is a good decision. It really depends on the situation. There are some who have owned several homes in their lifetime and wouldn’t think of owning a home without a pool. There are others who have pools who would probably be better off without them—due to time, financial, and other issues. There…

The Pool Weather Forecast
ByMatt Gohlke March 1, 2012

What a difference one year makes! Do you remember last winter? What I remember most vividly about last winter is Super Bowl Week in early February when we received more than our fair share of winter weather all in one week—virtually immobilizing the DFW Metroplex as the world watched. But this winter was completely different—it has been a very mild and enjoyable winter in which to spend time outdoors. What is going on with this weather? LaNina weather typically means warmer-than-normal temperatures and less rainfall. We have certainly had the warmer-than-normal temperatures, but we have had quite a bit of rain this winter—which was badly needed and very much appreciated, by the way. I recently heard Pete Delkus, chief meteorologist of WFAA-TV, state that we…

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.
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.
