Carmel Creek is about nine minutes from our shop, which makes it one of the closest neighborhoods we cover. It also sits on water that changes more through the year than anywhere else on our route.
Chemistry that behaved in April and won't behave in July, a salt cell that plates over, a filter that loads up faster than it should. Those are the calls from these streets, and they come back to one thing.
Hutto doesn't draw from one source. The city blends well water out of the Carrizo-Wilcox aquifer with surface water bought from Lake Granger, and the mix shifts with the season and with demand.
The city's own water quality report puts total hardness anywhere from 41.8 to 369 parts per million, about 2.4 to 21.6 grains per gallon. That's not a rounding difference. At the bottom of that range the water is soft enough to go after plaster, and at the top it's harder than anything in Round Rock.
So a Carmel Creek pool isn't fighting one problem all year. It's fighting whichever problem the tap is handing it this month, and that's the argument for testing on a schedule rather than dosing to a recipe that worked last spring.
Carmel Creek sits inside Hutto city limits, south of US 79 and west of Chris Kelley Boulevard, with Brushy Creek along the bottom and SH 130 running past the west side. That puts it in Williamson County, a short run from us.
It went in over several phases rather than all at once, so the streets here don't all look alike. We'd rather come out and look than guess from the address.
The street names are a giveaway about what this land used to be. Simmental Loop, Hereford Lane, Duroc Drive and Sorghum Drive are cattle breeds and a feed crop, and Nettle Swap and Stone Fork run through the middle of it.
The lots here are open, and the newer sections have very little canopy, so leaf load is light compared with the older Round Rock neighborhoods. What you get instead is wind and dust off the fields east of Chris Kelley Boulevard.
Our weekly visit covers brushing, skimming, the basket and the filter, and a water test every single time. Given how far the hardness swings here, that test is the part of the visit that actually earns its money.
Brushing and skimming every visit. Baskets, filter and a water test too. $249.
Water care on a subscription, so the chemistry is somebody else's job. $119.
An hour with us so you can run the pool yourself. $189.
A DE filter stripped, cleaned and recharged. $169.
When something breaks the real question is whether it's a repair or a replacement, and nobody wants to guess at that.
So we charge a $149 diagnostic and you pay half of it to book. We come out, find the actual fault, and tell you what it could involve. If you go ahead with the repair the diagnostic is free and what you paid comes off the job. If you decide not to, you've paid $149 for a straight answer.
A pump that won't prime could involve a seal, an impeller, or a motor, and those are three different afternoons.
This is the deep black clay side of our route, not the thin rock over limestone you get in Round Rock. It swells when it rains and shrinks when it doesn't, and it moves more than most people expect.
That shows up as cracks in decking and, now and then, as a plumbing line nudged out of true. At 633 feet the ground here's also flatter than anything west of us, so water sits rather than runs after a real storm.
We're based near Red Bud Lane and Forest Creek Drive in Round Rock. The map shows the drive from our shop to Carmel Creek.
Carmel Creek sits inside the city, and we cover the whole of it. Pool service in Hutto.
South of here around the golf club, on the same run. Pool service in Star Ranch.
True Flow is a local outfit, not a franchise with a call center in another state. You deal directly with the people who work on your pool. We're licensed in Texas for residential appliance installation, which is what covers pool equipment electrical work, and we carry insurance on every job.
Often same-day, just ask. Hutto is the closest city we serve, so a follow-up visit here's rarely a long wait.
This books our $149 on-site diagnostic, the visit we start with for any equipment problem. Half is due when you schedule, and it comes off the repair if you go ahead. Looking for weekly cleaning or something else? See all pool services.

"I could not recommend them highly enough! We are new pool owners with NO idea how to care for it! Geoff first came out to do our pool inspection before we bought the home...."
"Had pool converted to saltwater and pool automation installed. Geoff did an excellent job the first time. Hard to find companies like this nowadays."
