Why algaecide matters for Justin 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.

Justin features a mix of water sources depending on neighborhood. Newer master-planned communities are served by municipal water systems with good chemistry (typically 300-400 ppm TDS). Older ranch properties and some established residential areas rely on well water with elevated mineral content (600-1000 ppm TDS), particularly iron and calcium. New construction pools benefit from starting with balanced chemical profiles from the groundup, while older wells in the area create challenges similar to Argyle requiring chelating agents and careful pH management. Understanding each property's water source is critical for delivering appropriate service.
