Most DFW pools should be drained every 3-5 years under normal conditions. However, several factors can accelerate the timeline.
Here are the signs that your pool needs a drain and refill: Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) over 2,500 ppm — Every chemical you add, every contaminant that enters the water, and every gallon of hard DFW tap water contributes to TDS. When TDS gets too high, the water becomes "saturated" and chemical treatment becomes less effective. The water may look dull, hazy, or feel different.
The only solution is to drain and start fresh Calcium hardness over 600 ppm — DFW's notoriously hard water (200-400 ppm calcium from the tap) means calcium accumulates faster here than almost anywhere. When levels exceed 600 ppm, aggressive scaling forms on tile, plaster, equipment, and inside heater cores.
Chemical sequestrants can slow the process, but eventually a drain is the only real fix Cyanuric acid (CYA/stabilizer) over 100 ppm — CYA protects chlorine from UV degradation, but it accumulates over time as stabilized chlorine products (trichlor and dichlor) are used. When CYA exceeds 80-100 ppm, it…
