Question 1

Why should pool equipment installation and repairs be handled by a licensed professional?

Accepted Answer

In Texas, any wiring related to pool equipment — including heaters, pumps, lighting, and automation systems — must be performed by a licensed Residential Appliance Installer (RAI) or electrician. This ensures compliance with state safety codes and protects your home from electrical hazards.

Choosing a licensed pool installer in Texas, like Redzone Pools (TICL #1465), guarantees your installation is completed safely, efficiently, and in line with manufacturer warranty requirements.
 Unlicensed work may seem cheaper at first but can lead to failed inspections, equipment damage, or even voided warranties — risks that simply aren’t worth it.

Question 2

How can I tell if my pool heater needs servicing?

Accepted Answer

If your heater is slow to warm up, shuts off unexpectedly, or shows an error code, it’s likely time to call for pool heater repair. Other signs include unusual noises, gas odors, or a pilot light that won’t stay lit.

Most issues stem from clogged burners, faulty sensors, or rodent damage — all of which our team is licensed to repair.

For reliable pool heater repair in Cypress, TX, schedule an annual inspection, especially before cooler months. Regular maintenance ensures safe and efficient performance year-round.

Question 3

What are the advantages of upgrading to a variable speed pump?

Accepted Answer

A variable speed pool pump upgrade is one of the most effective ways to reduce energy use and extend your system’s life. Unlike single-speed pumps that always run at full power, a variable speed pump (VSP) adjusts its flow rate to meet your pool’s needs — saving energy, reducing noise, and improving circulation.

Homeowners in Houston and surrounding areas often see energy savings of up to 70%, along with quieter operation and longer-lasting equipment.

Our licensed professionals provide expert variable speed pump installation, ensuring optimal setup and programming for maximum efficiency.

Question 4

How often should I have my pool filter professionally cleaned?

Accepted Answer

To maintain crystal-clear water and protect your equipment, your pool filter should be professionally cleaned every six months. Over time, oils, debris, and fine particles build up inside the filter — and backwashing alone can’t remove them.

Between professional cleanings, backwash every 2–3 weeks or when your pressure gauge reads 8–10 psi above normal.

At Redzone Pools, we offer complete pool filter cleaning in Spring, TX, including cartridge, DE, and sand filters, ensuring your system runs efficiently and your pool stays ready for every season.

Question 5

What are the benefits of installing a pool automation system?

Accepted Answer

A pool automation system gives you total control of your pool and spa from your smartphone or tablet. You can easily adjust heaters, lights, pump speeds, and cleaning schedules — anytime, anywhere.

Automation not only makes pool ownership more convenient but also improves energy efficiency and extends equipment life by running only when necessary.

Redzone Pools specializes in pool automation system installation in Spring, TX, helping homeowners enjoy smart, seamless pool management.

Question 6

Why do realtors recommend a pool inspection before closing on a home?

Accepted Answer

A pre-purchase pool inspection provides valuable insight into the condition of your pool before buying a home. Realtors often recommend it because it helps identify hidden issues — such as electrical, plumbing, or structural concerns — that could lead to costly repairs later.

At Redzone Pools, we perform thorough pool inspections for home buyers throughout Spring, The Woodlands, and nearby areas. Our detailed reports ensure you make an informed, confident decision before closing.

Question 7

When is the best time to remodel a pool?

Accepted Answer

The best time for a pool remodel in Texas is typically during the fall or winter when demand is lower and weather conditions are ideal. This allows enough time to complete your pool renovation before swim season begins.

That said, Redzone Pools handles pool remodels in Spring, TX year-round — from new tile and coping to resurfacing and equipment upgrades.

Planning early ensures availability of materials and helps you enjoy your revitalized pool just in time for summer.
