Why algaecide matters for Krum pools

Algae isn't just ugly — once it takes hold, it consumes chlorine 10× faster than clean water, wasting your sanitizer budget and giving you chloramines, cloudy water, and staining. The right algaecide prevents the bloom in the first place (polyquat, weekly dose), kills an existing bloom (copper-based, one-time shock), and removes the phosphates algae eat to grow back. DFW summers are prime algae season — a $15 bottle of algaecide saves a $300 green-to-clean service.

Krum is characterized predominantly by well water systems, with mineral content often exceeding 800-1200 ppm TDS depending on well location and depth. Groundwater contains elevated calcium (300+ ppm), iron (0.5-2.0 ppm), and sometimes sulfates creating persistent scaling and staining challenges. Water hardness requires aggressive treatment with sequestrants, chelating agents, and possibly saturation index management to prevent surface damage. The water chemistry is among the most challenging in our service area, requiring experienced technicians who understand well water treatment protocols deeply. Many Krum property owners have struggled with service providers unfamiliar with well water, making our expertise a significant differentiator.
