When you hire us, you're not hiring a generic pool contractor. You’re hiring a builder with formal education, industry-recognized credentials, and legally required licensing that most companies in Texas simply do not have.Our work is grounded in engineering-based principles, advanced hydraulics, proper waterproofing, and modern construction standards—not guesswork.
Below is the exact list of what sets us apart.
We hold the Genesis® ACBP certification, one of the most respected technical credentials in the pool construction industry. Genesis training goes deep into the actual science behind building a reliable, long-lasting vessel:
• Advanced hydraulic design
• Structural best-practices
• Modern waterproofing standards
• Material performance and installation methods
• Construction sequencing & engineering fundamentals
• Energy efficiency considerations
• Codes, safety, and modern industry standards
The ACBP credential is part of an advanced professional learning track that only a small percentage of builders ever pursue.
While Genesis offers higher tiers (Expert and Master), achieving the ACBP level already places us among a highly educated group of pool professionals who build using engineering principles—not outdated habits.
What that means for you:
Your pool is designed and built using correct math, correct flow rates, proper structural planning, and modern construction methods—not shortcuts or old-school “rules of thumb.”
Renovation isn’t guessing. It’s diagnostics.
As a Watershape University Certified Watershape Renovator (CWR), we bring advanced training specifically focused on:
• Diagnosing structural failures
• Correct crack repair methodologies
• Tile & coping system reconstruction
• Hydraulic modernization
• Waterproofing & vessel integrity
• Material science for remodels
• Proper surface preparation and adhesion
A CWR isn’t just a “remodel guy.” It’s someone trained to look at an existing pool like an engineer, identify why problems happened, and rebuild it correctly so they don’t happen again.
What that means for you:
Whether your pool is cracking, delaminating, rusting, or just outdated, we renovate it using proven standards—not band-aids.
Pools combine water + electricity, and that means electrical safety isn’t optional. It’s the law.
We hold the Texas Residential Appliance Installer License (RAIL) both as an Installer and a Contractor, which are the licenses legally required to connect:
• Pumps
• Lights
• Automation systems
• Heaters
• Salt systems
• Equipment pads
• Any pool or spa equipment requiring an electrical hookup
Why this matters
Most pool companies do not hold RAIL licensing, even though they are legally required to. This leads to unsafe installations and major liability for homeowners.
Fines & Penalties
According to TDLR regulations, unlicensed electrical work can trigger:
• Fines up to $5,000 per violation
• Each piece of equipment can count as its own violation
• Homeowner liability if they knowingly hire unlicensed work
• Insurance claim denial if a failure or incident involves unlicensed wiring
Electrical safety is life safety
Improper bonding, grounding, or GFCI protection can result in:
• Electrocution hazards in or around the water
• Equipment fires
• Nuisance tripping
• Burned-up heaters or pumps
• Automation system failures
What that means for you:
Every electrical connection on your project is made to Texas code, manufacturer specifications, and strict safety standards—protecting your family, your home, and your investment
As a Certified Pool Operator (CPO®), we bring professional-level training in water chemistry, sanitation, filtration, safety, and the long-term protection of pool surfaces and equipment. Water chemistry isn’t just about keeping the pool clear—it directly affects the lifespan, appearance, and structural integrity of your plaster finish.
The CPO program is built around real chemistry and real consequences. Understanding it is what separates a safe, balanced, long-lasting pool from one that destroys itself from the inside out.
Water Chemistry Directly Affects Your Plaster
Plaster is a mineral surface. If the water isn’t balanced, it will go after the surface to correct itself. That means:
• Low calcium = water pulls calcium out of the plaster (etching)
• High calcium = scaling, rough surfaces, cloudy water
• Low pH or alkalinity = aggressive water that dissolves surfaces
• High pH = poor sanitizer efficiency & scale buildup
• Incorrect LSI = long-term damage that’s expensive to repair
Most plaster damage is not caused by poor materials — it’s caused by improper chemistry in the first year and beyond.
Understanding LSI — The Key to Protecting Plaster
The Langelier Saturation Index (LSI) is the industry’s gold standard for determining whether water is:
• Aggressive (etching the plaster)
• Balanced (neutral and protective)
• Scale-forming (depositing calcium on the walls and equipment)
LSI calculates these factors together:
• pH
• Alkalinity
• Calcium hardness
• Water temperature
• Total dissolved solids
• Stabilizer levels
Keeping the LSI in the safe zone is how you prevent:
• Etching
• Scaling
• Delamination
• Discoloration
• Premature surface failure
• Heater damage
• Salt cell scaling
• Cloudiness
What that means for you:
Your surface, equipment, and water quality are actively protected—not just “maintained.”
A CPO Understands the Chemistry Behind a Long-Lasting Pool
As a Certified Pool Operator, we’re trained in:
• Correct startup procedures for new plaster
• Advanced surface protection
• Proper sanitizer management
• Chlorine demand & breakpoint chlorination
• pH control and buffering
• Preventing scale, stains, and etching
• Proper filtration & circulation dynamics
• Safe chemical handling
• Compliance with national and state health codes
This isn’t just pool care—it’s asset protection.
Why This Matters for Your Pool
Poor chemistry shortens the lifespan of your plaster, equipment, and heater. Correct chemistry:
• Extends surface life by years
• Reduces long-term maintenance costs
• Improves water clarity & comfort
• Prevents staining, scaling, and rough spots
• Ensures proper disinfection
• Keeps your investment looking new
What that means for you:
Your pool is protected by someone who understands the chemistry, not someone guessing
