Rough Plaster, Stubborn Algae, Staining That Won't Quit — Sound Familiar?
If your pool has been scratchy, stained, or fighting recurring algae for the past couple of seasons, you're dealing with a surface problem — not a chemistry problem. The chemistry is just responding to a substrate that can no longer hold water balance properly.
Cibolo is one of the fastest-growing cities in Texas — and a large portion of its housing stock was built between 2000 and 2015. That means a significant number of pools are now 10–20 years old, right in the window where original plaster starts failing, especially in San Antonio's hard alkaline water environment. Alkaline water from the Edwards-Trinity Aquifer deposits calcium on the plaster surface constantly, etching and weakening it faster than in softer-water markets.
Most Cibolo homeowners manage the symptoms for 2–3 seasons before calling. By then, they've spent more on extra chemicals than a resurface would have cost.
What a Failing Pool Surface Is Costing You Right Now
- Monthly chemical costs climb as porous plaster absorbs sanitizer instead of maintaining water balance
- Plaster chips and debris add wear to pump and filtration equipment
- A rough, stained pool is harder to maintain and less enjoyable for the family all season
- Delay costs money — a long San Antonio swim season means months more of unnecessary chemical spending

We Know Cibolo — And We're Close
We're about 35 minutes from Cibolo and work throughout Guadalupe County and the Tri-Cities corridor regularly. We're familiar with the construction styles and water conditions common to Cibolo's newer developments, and we know that the alkaline water in this area works against standard plaster faster than many homeowners expect.
Our startup chemistry is calibrated specifically for local water — not a generic formula. That matters for long surface life in this area.
Building a New Pool in Cibolo: What the City Requires
The City of Cibolo's pool, spa and hot tub requirements include these rules:
- Prefabricated pools less than 24 inches deep do not need a permit.
- An in-ground pool sits at least 5 feet from side and rear property lines and 10 feet from any other structure, and never in an easement. Closer than 10 feet to the house, it needs an engineer's letter stating that it will not affect the home's foundation.
- A barrier at least 48 inches above grade surrounds the pool, and gates open outward, away from the pool, with a self-closing and self-latching device.
- Pool equipment stays out of easements and at least 3 feet from the property line.
- Electrical work, and a fuel tank for a heater, each need a separate permit.

Cibolo Water Quality Note
Cibolo pools use Edwards Aquifer-influenced water — 250–350 ppm calcium hardness. This hard, alkaline water causes calcium scaling on standard plaster surfaces, cutting lifespan to 6–9 years instead of the national 10–12 average.
