Hudson at a glance
Isaac Hudson arrived in 1878, and the settlement that took his name was established in 1882. For decades it was a fishing community, until W.L. Hendry and his sons dug inlets near Hudson Springs in 1950, creating the Port of Hudson.
Hudson had 12,944 residents in the 2020 census, with a median age of 59.7. The Hudson mailing address and the 34667 ZIP code also cover Bayonet Point and other areas well beyond the community itself.
What Hudson pool equipment looks like
Hudson mixes canal homes near the Gulf with inland neighborhoods built from the 1970s on. Many owners heat the pool to stretch the season or for exercise and therapy, so heaters here tend to run long hours through the cooler months.
Closer to the water, salt air works on heat pump coils and gas heater cabinets; inland, older roof solar and aging heat pumps are the usual story.

Free EstimateWhat Hudson pool owners ask for most
- Pool Heat Pump Repair
Long winter run hours wear out fans, contactors and compressors.
- Solar Pool Heater Repair
Older homes still have roof collectors that need repair or reroof removal.
- Lightning & Storm-Damaged Heater Repair
Coastal streets are exposed to surge and summer lightning.
Heating for therapy? Plan for reliability
If you count on a warm pool for exercise or therapy, ask about a maintenance visit before winter. Catching a weak capacitor or dirty coil in the fall beats a dead heater in January.
