Freeze Protection Service in Austin, TX
Prepare your pool before freezing temperatures arrive with a preventative maintenance visit from Hill Country Pools.
Protect Your Pool Before Austin's First Annual Freeze
Hill Country Pools is proud to present our Freeze Protection Service, designed to help homeowners prepare their pools before winter weather arrives.
We know the last thing you want is to discover a weak pipe, faulty sensor, or equipment problem when temperatures are already below freezing. That’s why this preventative maintenance service focuses on inspecting your pool equipment, identifying potential problems, and taking practical steps to reduce the risk of freeze-related damage.
What's Included in Our Freeze Protection Service?
Pool Pumps, Valves & Equipment Inspection
We inspect exposed pipes, pumps, valves, and connections for wear, damage, or other concerns that could lead to freeze-related problems.
Freeze Protection System Inspection
We check your pool’s freeze protection settings, temperature sensors, and automation to identify potential issues before freezing weather arrives.
Pool Pipe Insulation & Wrapping
We insulate or wrap exposed pool plumbing where needed to help reduce heat loss and protect vulnerable pipes.
Protective Equipment Coverings
We install appropriate protective coverings over exposed plumbing and equipment while maintaining necessary ventilation and access.
Supplemental Pool Salt
We include one bag of pool salt when compatible with your pool. Salt slightly lowers water’s freezing point but does not prevent hard-freeze damage.
Personalized Pool Maintenance Recommendations
We provide recommendations for repairs, adjustments, and additional measures to help prepare your pool for winter.

In need of some minor construction work on our backyard pool, we called Hill Country Pools and set up an on-site meeting. We were pleased to have the owner (Forest) and general manager of HCP Construction (Luis) come over to listen to our ideas and discuss possible approaches. They were particularly helpful in making sure we understood potential risks and options. Within a few days we received a quote for services that matched precisely what we discussed, and at a very reasonable price. Within the week, Luis and his skilled team (especially Victor!) arrived to perform the work. They succeeded in achieving exactly what we wanted to achieve, and completed the job within the timeframe we were expecting. In addition to Forest, Luis, and Luis’s team, we had very helpful and pleasant communications with Wade the Operations Manager. Overall, a great pleasure to do business with these friendly and competent folks and their deep Austin roots.Posted on Google Rosemarie F.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We hired Hill Country Pools after my dad passed away recently -- he was the only one who knew anything about taking care of the pool. It has given us great peace of mind to hand the reigns over to these guys and know that it will be taken care of. Wade, Daniel, and the team of cleaners have been great to work with. They are timely to answer calls and emails. They have done repairs on equipment that needed it and also provided weekly cleaning and chemical balancing services for us. Definitely recommend!Posted on Google robert mayfieldTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent Service! They even helped me register the warranty for the Polaris I bought from them.Posted on Google Jessica W PodnarTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hill Country Pools did a great job on our pool replaster and tile, I absolutely love the finished product. Luis and his team were great to work with and made sure I was happy with the final results. Wade was always checking in with updates to let us know what was going on each step of the way. Our pool desperately needed to be replastered, we went with the Lakeside quartz, which gives the water such a pretty blue compared to the original white plaster. They followed up with 10 days of pool service to make sure the chemicals were balanced and everyone that came by the house was very friendly! Pool is ready just in time for summer!Posted on Google George Aditya PunooseTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very reliable and do a great job! Been with them for 6 years now and don’t plan on leaving! When we have had issues with our pump etc they have been all over it!
