But following is a fairly good summary of pool water temperatures: - [Why Are Prices Now Higher?](https://gohlkepools.com/why-are-prices-now-higher/): You have all heard about and experienced the inflation that we have been experiencing over the past two years, especially in 2021 and thus far in 2022. Bloomberg reports that the inflation rate for 2021 was 7%. Obviously, some sectors did not experience 7% inflation rate, while other sectors experienced much more than 7%. One of the sectors that experienced much more than 7% is the pool industry. I have heard several pool industry experts state that inflation for the pool industry is between 25% and 60%, depending on the region of the country and the segment of the pool industry. We believe that the inflation that we have experienced in the pool industry is the highest that we have seen in our company’s 64-year history. - [Hot Weather Pool Care](https://gohlkepools.com/hot-weather-pool-care/): Here we are again; it is getting hot. As you can imagine, these high temperatures can create problems for swimming pools even when a routine swimming pool maintenance program is followed. Two of the most common pool problems that pool owners experience this time of year due to the heat are cloudy water and algae. - [Swimming Pool Heaters](https://gohlkepools.com/swimming-pool-heaters/): With ambient temperatures beginning to warm up, pool water temperatures are increasing as well. As of this writing (March 29th), average pool water temperatures in the Denton area are now in the low to mid 60’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 us north Texans. Most of us seem to prefer between 80-84 degrees, but it really depends on the individual and what type of swimming is being done. - [5 Tips to Help You Get Your Pool Ready](https://gohlkepools.com/5-tips-to-help-you-get-your-pool-ready-2/): Although we had a few cold spells, it really hasn’t been a memorable winter like it was last winter (the deep freeze of February 2021). Now that we are into late March, it is unlikely that we will have another freeze (as the weather continues to warm up. For the record, our average last freeze is March 13th and our latest freeze on record is April 13th. - [Did you have any Freeze Damage this 2022 Winter?](https://gohlkepools.com/did-you-have-any-freeze-damage-this-winter-2/): Each winter, we average 33 days where we reach at or below freezing temperatures. As of this writing (March 11th), we are at 34—therefore it has been a fairly typical winter. Most pools in the area did not experience any freeze damage, but a few did. Most of the damage that occurred was limited to the pool equipment pad area—pumps, filters, heaters, pipes, etc. - [Don’t Wait Any Longer for that New Pool](https://gohlkepools.com/dont-wait-any-longer-for-that-new-pool/): It has been almost two years since we started feeling the impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. None of us thought that it would last this long or that it would change our lives as much as it has. - [5 Stretching Exercises for Your Hot Tub  ](https://gohlkepools.com/5-stretching-exercises-for-your-hot-tub/): You may already be aware of the benefits of hydrotherapy in culmination with aquatic exercises.

Now that we have lived through it, how do we keep it from happening again? First, we have to examine what occurred. - [How to Spookify Your Hot Tub for Halloween](https://gohlkepools.com/how-to-spookify-your-hot-tub-for-halloween/): Halloween is around the corner, and incorporating your hot tub into the decor setup is an excellent way to utilize your backyard space. Whether you use your hot tub as a decorative centerpiece with food and beverages stationed around the sides, or you decide to have a Halloween hot tub party, there are tons of creative ways to get your hot tub ready for the spooky season. - [Putting People First During the Pandemic](https://gohlkepools.com/putting-people-first-during-the-pandemic/): The following article at SpaRetailer.Com, sponsored by Sundance/Jacuzzi, mentions Gohlke Pools for "Putting People First During the Pandemic". Please read below: - [Hot Tubs Play Role for Improving American Lifestyles](https://gohlkepools.com/hot-tubs-play-role-for-improving-american-lifestyles/): The following article published by Sundance/Jacuzzi for Business Wire - [Water & Electricity Do Not Mix](https://gohlkepools.com/water-electricity-do-not-mix/): One of the trends that we have seen over the past couple of years is string lights, also referred to as bistro lighting or market lighting. While most agree that they are a very good look and provide just enough accent lighting in most situations, most of these lights are 120 volts, which should never be used over a swimming pool due to electrocution dangers. Obviously, electricity and water are not a good mix. - [Drive Safely for Back to School](https://gohlkepools.com/drive-safely-for-back-to-school/): With school starting for most area school districts this week and next, Denton area roads will be getting much busier. Combine this with the area colleges starting at the end of August, and it can get really hectic around here—especially considering all of the road construction. ☹ - [How the Pool Pump Law Changes Affect Your Pool](https://gohlkepools.com/how-the-pool-pump-law-changes-affect-your-pool/): Remember the 100-watt light bulb? We will be saying the same thing about 2 horsepower pool pumps in the very near future. - [Swimming Pool Care Tips after the Spring 2021 Rainfall](https://gohlkepools.com/swimming-pool-care-tips-after-the-rainfall/): As can be expected, heavy rain can wreak havoc on swimming pools—by exposing problems such as poor drainage and by creating problems such as debris in the pool and water chemistry issues. - [How to Deal with the Chlorine Shortage](https://gohlkepools.com/chlorine-shortage/): Over the weekend a lot of the major news outlets decided to report on the pool chlorine shortage our country is facing for this summer. This problem goes back to August 27th, 2020 when Hurricane Laura made landfall in the Lake Charles, LA area. It just so happens that roughly 60% of the nation’s chlorine tablets are manufactured there. The hurricane caused a fire at that production facility that was eventually extinguished after a few days, completely devastating that plant. It was predicted that it would take about 2 years to rebuild. With that news, 3” tablet prices sky rocked 30-40% immediately. At that time, it was nearing the end of pool season for most of the country, and most pool owners didn’t have to worry about it. - [When Will it be Warm Enough to Swim?](https://gohlkepools.com/when-will-it-be-warm-enough-to-swim/): Ever since the record cold snap that we had in mid-February, many pool owners have been looking forward to some warmer weather, and we are finally getting some. Although pool water temperatures are still around 70 degrees, it will not be long until we can all comfortably swim. What some consider comfortable might still be too cold for others and vice versa—everyone is different. But following is a fairly good summary of pool water temperatures: - [Why Does It Take So Long to Get a Pool Built Right Now?](https://gohlkepools.com/why-does-it-take-so-long-to-get-a-pool-built-right-now/): In our 63 years in business, we have never seen such a misalignment of supply and demand of swimming pools. The demand for swimming pool construction right now far exceeds the supply. As a result, pool construction is taking much longer than it ever has. Pool construction projects that used to take from 8-12 weeks from the first meeting to swimming are now taking at least twice that long. Why is this and what advice do we have? - [Pool Season Is Rapidly Approaching](https://gohlkepools.com/pool-season-is-rapidly-approaching/): Believe it or not, we were having a mild winter until the great freeze of February occurred. At that point, we had had only had 8 days at or above freezing. But all of that starting changing on February 9th when it hit freezing and didn’t let up for 12 days, reaching a low of -1 on February 16th, which is one of the few times in the last 125 years that it has been below zero. These low temperatures combined with the power outages definitely created a memorable event, and not in a good way. ☹ - [The Perfect Storm—Why the Pool Industry is Experiencing Delays](https://gohlkepools.com/the-perfect-storm-why-the-pool-industry-is-experiencing-delays/): Oxford Languages online dictionary defines a perfect storm as “a particular bad or critical state of affairs, arising from a number of negative and unpredictable factors.” In a nutshell, that is exactly what has happened to the pool industry to cause the delays. The confluences that have caused the delays that the pool industry is currently experiencing is the shortage of skilled craftsmen, followed by the increased demand caused by the pandemic, and finally—the freeze damage in Texas. - [How to Select a Contractor](https://gohlkepools.com/how-to-select-a-contractor/): There are many very good contractors in the area, but there are others who are not reputable and likely do not have the knowledge and/or financial resources necessary to be a contractor. Unfortunately, the growth in the area is resulting in unqualified contractors entering the market. Currently, there is much more work than there are contractors to do the work. This combined with the fact that the state of Texas has minimal licensing or bonding requirements for building contractors can make it risky to hire a contractor. This oftentimes result in an unhappy customer and even sometimes results in litigation. How can you avoid this potential problem and select the right contractor? Speaking from experience, by doing your research. - [Updated Freeze Damage Information](https://gohlkepools.com/updated-freeze-damage-information/): Our team is working very hard to take care of our clients, but as you can imagine, there are some challenges due to the amount of freeze damage that the area experienced. We will continue to work to make repairs until everything has been taken care of. We are grateful that the pool season is still a few months away. Following is some information that will hopefully help you. - [Dealing with Damages from Power Outages and the Hard Freeze](https://gohlkepools.com/dealing-with-damages-from-power-outages-and-the-hard-freeze/): Due to the widespread power outages and record low temperatures, we are seeing a lot of pool equipment damage. Please be careful with icy ground conditions and check on your pool equipment as soon as you are able. The condition of it will fit into one of the following categories. Please review them and use the subsequent action plan: - [I Think That I Might Have Freeze Damage](https://gohlkepools.com/i-think-that-i-might-have-freeze-damage/): The recent cold weather provided us both of the extreme weather events that can cause freeze damage—long periods of time with temperatures below freezing and extremely low temperatures (lowest temperature recorded since February 1899). Most pools would have been avoided having any damage even with the extremely low temperatures, but the real outlier from past freezing weather events were the power outages that many experienced—which has resulted in quite a bit of damage to pool equipment and plumbing. - [Extreme Freeze Warning](https://gohlkepools.com/extreme-freeze-warning/): https://vimeo.com/511237927/67473b80ca - [How To Prevent Freeze Damage This Weekend](https://gohlkepools.com/how-to-prevent-freeze-damage-this-weekend/): It has been a fairly mild winter thus far, but it appears that will change this weekend, with lows expected to be as low as the single digits on Monday night. What can really be difficult on pool equipment is consecutive number of hours below freezing—which we are expecting from Friday night until Wednesday (over 100 hours). It has been 25 years (January 30-February 5, 1996) since we have had that many consecutive hours of below freezing, when we had 136 hours. - [Don’t Wait Any Longer for that New Pool in 2021](https://gohlkepools.com/dont-wait-any-longer/): It goes without saying that our lives have been changed forever due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. One of the results that we have seen is the increase in the demand of home improvements, including swimming pools. This has resulted in an increase in the construction of swimming pools and the supply of skilled labor and materials has not increased, which has resulted in projects taking longer to build. I know of companies in other parts of the country who are completely sold out for 2021. That has not yet happened in the DFW area, but if you are interested in a swimming pool for this summer, I would not wait any longer. - [Home Sweet Home](https://gohlkepools.com/home-sweet-home/): I think that it goes without saying that our lives have been changed forever due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.  It is something that none of us have ever been through, and there are many things about the future that we do not know: When will this pandemic end?  When can we go see our aging parents?  When can we go back to church?  When will public gatherings (sporting events, concerts, etc.) once again be allowed?  When can we dine in at our favorite local restaurant?  What will happen with the economy?  Are handshakes & hugs a thing of the past?  Will we continue to be as methodical when it comes to hand washing?  These are just a few of the many questions that we have that none of us know with absolute certainty.  We are truly in unchartered waters. ## Pages - [Swimming Pool Project in Flower Mound](https://gohlkepools.com/new-pools/gunite-pools/swimming-pool-project-in-flower-mound/): For 60 years, Gohlke Pools has been building pools with innovative designs and providing pool service to the Flower Mound area.
