National CPR Week

ByMatt Gohlke June 3, 2010 Gohlke Pools Blog Reading Time: 1 minute

June 1-7 is National CPR Week. What a great week to commit to taking a CPR class.

We must remember that even when safety procedures are followed, accidents can happen. It is very important that we all learn CPR, but especially pool owners. The American Heart Association has gone as far as make the following statement: “Parents and older children who live in a home with a swimming pool should learn CPR.”

Gohlke Pools teaches a free CPR class that American Heart Association calls “CPR for Family & Friends.” It is a non-certification entry level course which last approximately 2 ½ hours. Call our office for more information or to register for this free CPR course.

This summer’s CPR class dates are as follows:

Thursday, June 17th   6pm
Monday, June 28th   6pm
Thursday, July 8th       6pm
Monday, July 26th   6pm
Saturday, July 31st   10am
Tuesday, August 17th   6pm
Saturday, August 28th   10am

Hard Freeze Warning – Protect Your Pool
ByMatt Gohlke January 17, 2019

With the temperatures that we are expecting this weekend, it is important that your pool equipment is prepared to handle IT. Most pool equipment in the Denton area has been programmed so that the pumps are switched on by a freeze sensor when the ambient air temperature approaches freezing, but it is still important to make sure. Following is what you need to be looking for: Main pump—The main pump should definitely be operating when the temperature is freezing. This helps prevent damage to other components as well—such as the filter, heater, etc. Booster pump (for automatic cleaners)—The booster pump does not need to be operating, since water from the main pump is circulating thru the booster pump. Pumps for waterfalls, fountains, spa jets, etc.—Pumps…

A Report from the Pool Expo
ByMatt Gohlke November 18, 2015August 13, 2026

The International Pool/Spa/Patio Expo was recently held at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Pool Expo is the must-attend event for the pool, spa, and backyard industry to stay abreast of trends, market directions, and cutting-edge technology. It attracts close to 10,000 pool industry members (pool and spa builders, retailers, service technicians, manufacturers, and landscape architects) and includes educational seminars and over 400 manufacturers’ exhibits. It was an honor to be selected to present a seminar again at this year’s conference. Christy Horton, Office Manager of Gohlke Pools, and I presented a seminar entitled “The 10 Keys to Retail Store Success”. Although we enjoy the conference portion (seminars) of the show, the energy that is on the show floor is hard…

NEWS FLASH: IT IS HOT!
ByMatt Gohlke August 2, 2012

Well, just a few weeks ago (July 12th) I told you what a mild summer we seem to be having. OOPS! Since that time, it has been very hot-with several record breaking days. As a matter of fact-July was the 11th hottest July on record. The hottest July on record was 1980 and the 3rd hottest July on record was last July-2011. We have had approximately 17-18 days where the temperature reached 100 degrees, which is our average for the whole summer. It now appears that we will have many more than our average, but we will not catch the record-breaking summer of 2011 (71 days). What does this mean for pool owners? In mid-July, most pool water temperatures were in the 85-90 degree range,…

The Rain is Finally Coming!
ByMatt Gohlke October 21, 2015

This has been a very strange weather year. We have had record heat this month, but don’t forget about the record rainfall in April & May. In addition, we have had two very long stretches without any measurable rain—41 days (July 9th thru August 18th) and 32 days (September 20th thru today). But the weather forecasters are telling us that we will have heavy rain over the next few days. I am ready! With that being said, 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. Following are some tips to help you deal with the potential problems that heavy rainfall can cause: Poor drainage— If…

 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.
