My pool was at an all time worst. Other people were saying that we had to drain all the water out. Pool Joy came and miraculously restored our pool in a week. I canceled my previous Company and have used Pooljoy Pool since. The look of our pool as well as the price we pay has been pure joy.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the wonderful review, Vicki! We're thrilled that you're loving our weekly maintenance and that our team could get your pool looking beautiful again. Thanks for trusting Pooljoy!

Pooljoy exceeded my expectations from the very first visit. I initially hired them for a one-time service to fine-tune my pool's chemical levels, and their attention to detail was immediately obvious. The technician was knowledgeable, thorough, and took the time to explain exactly what was off-balance and how they were correcting it. Communication was excellent throughout — clear scheduling, prompt responses, and none of the vague updates you sometimes get from service companies. Everything felt professional from start to finish, from the initial appointment to the follow-up after the work was done. I was impressed enough that I signed up for their weekly service on the spot. If you're looking for a pool company that combines real expertise with genuinely great customer service, I highly recommend Pooljoy Pool Care.
Response from the owner:Jeff, thank you for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. It's always a pleasure working with pool owners who care about their pool's upkeep and truly understand what it takes to dial in the chemistry. Gabe and I are excited to have you on board for regular service!

Response from the owner:Thanks so much, Sydney! Clearing up a cloudy pool in the Spring is always rewarding. We are glad we could get your water looking great again, and we appreciate your support.

Where do I start, we just started service with Pooljoy this April. It’s been 2 weeks and our pool has gone from green back to almost crystal clear. Nick is great at communication and has been a huge help along the way. Gabe, our technician, has done a fantastic job cleaning and working on our pool. After looking at a few pool companies and their reviews, we went with Pooljoy for their high reviews which was the best choice. Great prices, great guys, and a great business. Would highly recommend!

What Pool Automation Does

A good automation system brings your whole pad under one brain:
Instead of remembering to flip timers and turn valves, you set it once and let the system run, with full control in your pocket when you want it.

Make Your Pool Smart

Get convenience, energy savings, and automated freeze protection in one system, installed and configured right.

Call or text (512) 601-8603 for a consultation, or see our full range of pool services.

Automated Freeze Protection: An Austin Essential

Of everything automation does, freeze protection is the feature that matters most in Central Texas. Our hard freezes are exactly the conditions that crack pumps, filters, and plumbing, and the standard defense is keeping water moving so it does not sit and freeze in the equipment. An automation system with freeze protection does this for you automatically, kicking the pump on when the temperature drops below a set point, even in the middle of the night when you are asleep or out of town.

For anyone who has dealt with freeze-cracked equipment, this feature alone can justify the system.

Energy and Efficiency

Automation and a variable-speed pump are a natural pair. The controller runs the pump at the most efficient speeds and schedules, squeezing the most savings out of an already efficient pump over Austin’s long run seasons. If you are upgrading equipment, automation is the layer that ties it together and makes it smart. See our pool pump installation page for the pump side of that upgrade.

We Are Certified Experts With

World-Class Brands For Pool Equipment

Installed and Configured Right

An automation system is only as good as its setup. We install the controller, integrate it with your existing equipment, configure the schedules and freeze protection for your pool, connect the app, and walk you through using it. The connections are made to code. When the job is done, you have a system that works the way you actually use your pool, not a complicated box you are afraid to touch.

Pairs With Your Equipment

Automation is part of our full range of pool services and connects naturally to pool equipment installation, since it is often added alongside a new pump, heater, or salt system. If you are modernizing the equipment pad, this is the piece that makes it smart.

OUR TRUSTED POOL SERVICES

Pooljoy covers the full range of pool services an Austin pool needs.

Each service below has its own page with the detail you are looking for.

Acid Wash

When stains, scale, and algae have gone beyond what cleaning can fix, an acid wash strips a thin layer off the plaster to reveal a fresh surface. It is a periodic, specialized treatment, not routine care, and it has to be done correctly.

Sand Changes

Cartridge and DE filters lose efficiency as they load up with debris and calcium scale. We disassemble, deep clean, and reassemble your filter, replenish DE where needed, and check the o-rings and pressure so your system moves water the way it should.

Spa Cleaning

A spa is a small body of water that heats up, gets used hard, and swings out of balance faster than a pool. We clean and balance attached and standalone spas, clear biofilm and scale, and keep the jets and heater running clean. Explore spa cleaning.

Salt Systems

Salt chlorine generators give you softer-feeling water and steadier sanitation with less chemical handling. We install, convert, and service salt systems, including the cell cleaning that Austin’s hard water makes essential.

Got Questions?

Typically your pump, heater, lights, salt system, and water features, all from one app. You can set schedules, optimize a variable-speed pump, run freeze protection, and adjust everything remotely.
For most owners, yes. Central Texas hard freezes are what crack pumps, filters, and plumbing, and automated freeze protection circulates water automatically when temperatures drop, even overnight or while you are away. It is one of the most valuable features here.
Yes, and they pair well. The controller runs the pump at the most efficient speeds and schedules, maximizing the energy savings over Austin's long pumping seasons. It is a common upgrade to do together.
In most cases, yes. We assess your current equipment and integrate a controller that works with it. We will tell you what is compatible and what, if anything, needs to be updated first.

No. We configure the system for your pool and walk you through the app so it is simple to use. The goal is less hassle, not more.
