Pool Scientist

Pool Scientist handles pool service work out of Buda, TX. The company takes care of regular cleaning and maintenance along with fixing problems such as clogged lines, algae buildup, chemical imbalances, pump failures, and hose leaks. They also address water quality issues in hot tubs. Technicians named Tim, Martin, Jason, Paul, and Byron show up for these jobs and handle both one-time fixes and ongoing weekly service.

Customers describe pools that turned green or had algae so thick the bottom was invisible, along with skimmer clogs that prior companies could not locate. Tim spotted a clogged line right away and stayed until it cleared, then finished a green-to-clean job on the quoted price. Martin keeps water clear week after week and answers texts about equipment questions the same day. Paul has fixed pumps the same day they stopped working and has sorted hot tub chemistry with clear explanations. Jason and Byron have restored neglected pools and kept them that way through steady visits.

The company sends text alerts when a technician is heading over and again when the work is finished, plus a weekly emailed report on water conditions. Reviewers note fast replies to questions about upgrades or repairs, weekend fixes when leaks appear, and prices that stay within the original estimate. Service covers the Austin area and nearby spots such as Dripping Springs.

The business holds a 5-star Google rating from 19 reviews. Recurring comments cover clear pools after service, prompt and open communication, and reliable fixes that last.

“We had a stubborn clogged skimmer line that 3 other pool companies completely failed to diagnose properly. Tim identified the problem immediately & he, & team, stuck with it until resolved. They then got the green-to-clean done as estimated, with no surprise charges. Highly recommend.”

“Martin has been awesome working on our pool. He keeps the pool clean and beautiful. He always responds timely when I text with questions as we learn how to use the equipment or need recommendations when looking to upgrade or fix a part.”

“We can always count on Pool Scientist to help us out with our pool… We are especially grateful to Tim who was wonderful in helping us remedy our most recent pool situation. Very thankful we were able to find this great pool company…”

“Martin with Pool Scientist is by FAR the best I've ever had work on my pool. It's spotless, things are fixed or mentioned immediately! I highly recommend!”

“Pool scientists have been clear and communicated clearly at all times and done great affordability for us with maintenance weekly”

“Jason has been great to work with. He provides timely and detailed responses to all questions and our pool has been spotless since starting with Pool Scientist.”

“These guys are great. We had a terrible time with our old pool company and the pool looked awful, we finally had enough and contacted the Pool Scientist to come and look. They quickly assessed the issues with chemical imbalance and poor maintenance and moved to address it. When they took over the pool was in bad shape you could not see the bottom and it actually had frogs spawning in it. Now it is clean, clear and ready for summer. I highly recommend them.”

“Pool Scientist is fantastic and I would recommend them to anybody in their service area that wants a sparkling clean pool. I called them last year when I lost control of the algae build up and they did a deep clean, which had immediate results within days, and I've been using them every since. Very thorough and very informative with their pool water quality reports after every cleaning!”

“Tim and the Pool Scientist team rescued my pool after it had been mishandled and chemically mistreated by another company for too long. They have rescued the pool from yellow algea in time for us to enjoy over the holiday weekend. I couldn't be happier with their attention to detail, communication and persistence in making sure the pool was properly treated. Wish I found them sooner!”

“We’ve had a great experience with the Pool Scientist team so far! Everyone has been wonderful to work with from the start. I love the notifications that they are on the way and the summary of work when they’re done. Our pool looks great!”

“Amazing company. We had a green pool problem which they were able to correct quickly and cost effectively. Based on that we also signed up for weekly service to prevent issues in the future. Pool Scientist actually does the service and cleaning, unlike other companies who simply don't put in the work or effort. Their communication is also excellent, texts when they are on the way and done, and a full emailed report weekly.”

“Paul came out to diagnose our hot tub's water quality issue. I was very impressed with his detailed scientific evaluation of the problem and the quick resolution he provided! He was extremely transparent throughout the process and did not try to upsell anything I didn't need. I wholeheartedly recommend Pool Scientist for your pool or hot tub water quality needs.”

“I've had them service our pool for a few months now and they've been great, especially in responding quickly to our pool issues. We discovered a leak in one of our hoses on a Friday evening, and they quickly fixed it over the weekend. Definitely recommend!”

“Paul is extremely knowledgeable and awesome! Our pump wasn't working. Paul fit us in same day and was able to fix our pump. Can't thank him enough! I would highly recommend Pool Scientist and Paul!”
