Pool School

Are You A First Time Pool Owner? No Problem

Buying a pool is exciting. But for many new homeowners in North DFW, TX, the reality sets in quickly. You have pumps, filters, heaters, chemicals, and cleaning routines that all need attention. Without the right knowledge, things can get overwhelming fast.

That is why Hydra Pool Services created Pool School, a one-hour detailed class designed for first-time pool owners in Frisco, Murphy, Allen, Plano, McKinney, and The Colony, TX. We walk you step by step through how your pool works, how to take care of it in each season, and what to do if something goes wrong.

Whether you want to handle pool cleaning and pool maintenance yourself or eventually sign up for our weekly service, Pool School gives you the knowledge and confidence to make the right choice.

Why Pool School Matters for New Pool Owners

Pools are not just water. They are a mix of circulation systems, filters, pumps, plumbing, and chemical balances. Missing even a few steps can lead to cloudy water, algae growth, or expensive pool repairs.

Hydra Pool Services offers Pool School because we believe education saves homeowners time, money, and stress. In just 60 minutes, our friendly and experienced technicians will teach you:

  • How your pool’s circulation and filter system works

  • The basics of water chemistry and safe chemical handling

  • How to perform regular tile cleaning, skimming, and filter cleaning

  • When to schedule pool inspections or ask for professional pool care

Water Chemistry Made Simple
