How to start a pool maintenance business

How to start a pool maintenance business? Before you start maintaining pools, there are some important things you must do first such as getting the right training, tools and experience.

To master starting a pool maintenance business, the following 6 steps will help you get started.

6 Steps to Start a Pool Maintenance Business

1. Pool Industry Experience

Seeking advice first hand directly from someone who has spent years in pool maintenance is invaluable. However, if you don’t know anyone in the business, an external advisor or a few hours researching your industry online will gather a range of pool maintenance experience and knowledge. Diving straight into starting your pool maintenance business is the best way to do it. But, by using your time at first to do the research will save you time and money later down the track as you will speed up the learning curve on what to do and what not to do when maintaining pools.

2. Know Your Pool Chemistry

Maintaining pools effectively requires you to become familiar with water chemistry or you will quickly waste products and clients.  The periodic table at High School may not have been your priority, but doing the research before you start pool maintenance will safe guard your business reputation, and will quickly allow you to become an expert in your field.  There are many online pool maintenance courses to learn about pool chemistry, that can then be followed up with further research on the exact chemicals you are using on a daily basis.

3. Pool Maintenance Software

Get an instant edge on your competition that have been maintaining pools the old way for years. Adopting a software solution that gives you a professional edge, and maximizes the number of pools you can clean in a day gives you the edge.  Implementing software early into setting up your pool maintenance business, will guarantee efficient management from day one, and allow you to scale and grow quickly by decreasing admin costs.

5. Branded Pool Maintenance Experience

Branding every part of your new business is critical in order to generate a professional and memorable experience. Your customer experience will ensure your customers will come back to time and time again. Although, at the time they may seem expensive, branding your uniforms, vehicles and equipment will go a long way to make a memorable experience. Equally important as your physically branded items is the booking experience prior to you arriving to maintain their pool.  Pool maintenance services that adopt an online booking portal that is fully customizable to your branding will raise the bar and allow you to charge properly for your services as you have instantly created a professional look from the very start.

Most pool owners who engage pool maintenance companies are generally very busy people.  These pool owners want to spend as little time as possible booking their pool in for a clean.
