Smart Chem Pools was founded by a local who truly understands life on Lake LBJ

I’ve owned a waterfront vacation rental cabin on Lake LBJ since 2013, and I raised my two daughters spending every summer on the water. The Hill Country isn’t just where I work — it’s home. Today, both of my daughters have graduated college and are thriving on their own, and earlier this year I became a grandfather. My roots here run deep, and I plan to retire right here in the Texas Hill Country someday.

For more than 20 years, I built my career in new home sales with Austin-area homebuilders, where exceptional customer service, attention to detail, and long-term relationships weren’t optional — they were the standard. That experience shaped how I believe service businesses should operate: professionally, transparently, and with pride in the work.

I’ve always enjoyed being around swimming pools and understand their construction, systems, and maintenance requirements. To ensure Smart Chem Pools delivers the highest level of care, I earned my Certified Pool Operator (CPO®) certification and built this company around science-based water care, not guesswork.

Smart Chem Pools exists to bring professionalism, accountability, and real chemistry expertise to pool service in the Lake LBJ and Texas Hill Country area — so homeowners and vacation rental guests can enjoy crystal-clear, healthy water without worry.

This isn’t just a business to me. It’s a commitment to the community I love.

What makes Smart Chem Pools different from other pool companies?

Smart Chem Pools uses a science-based approach to pool care. Every visit includes professional water testing, LSI-based balancing, and digital service reports. Our CPO® Certified technicians don’t guess — we test, document, and verify every service using modern pool care technology.

What is LSI-based water balancing and why does it matter?

LSI (Langelier Saturation Index) measures how balanced your water is at a molecular level. Proper LSI balancing helps prevent algae, scaling, corrosion, cloudy water, and premature equipment failure. Most pool companies don’t calculate LSI — we do, every visit.

Do you provide digital service reports?

Yes. After every visit, you’ll receive a digital service report through Skimmer™ software. Reports include water chemistry readings, chemical adjustments, notes from your technician, and service verification for full transparency.

Are your visits really GPS-verified?

Yes. Every Smart Chem Pools visit is GPS-verified through Skimmer™. You’ll know when your technician arrives, how long they’re on site, and that your pool was serviced as scheduled — no missed visits or guesswork.
