Pool service · for solo pool service techs
PoolRound is a route and visit-report app for solo pool service techs who run a route of 10 to 15 pools. At each stop you slide in free chlorine, pH, total alkalinity, CYA and salt, note the chemicals you added, tick the filter and baskets, and take a photo. When the readings are saved, a one-page report with that photo is ready to share by text or email, and the customer needs no app to open it. Every pool keeps its own history graph, and commercial pools get a daily water log you can export as a PDF.
The visit screen has a slider for each reading: free chlorine, pH, total alkalinity, CYA and salt. Add what went into the water, tick the filter and baskets, and photograph the pool. As soon as the visit is saved, a one-page report with the photo, the numbers and the chemicals added is ready to share as a PDF or an image.
Today's route lists the pools on your day with the address and the pool type, and a count of how many are done. Finished stops show the pH and chlorine you logged, so in the middle of the afternoon you can see what is left without flipping through a wet clipboard.
Every pool has a card with its volume, surface and equipment, and a graph for each reading across your past visits. The chemicals you added sit on the same timeline, so a pH that creeps up every week, and the acid you keep pouring to bring it back, are visible at a glance.
Many solo techs start the same way: readings scribbled on a clipboard that gets splashed, a spreadsheet filled in at night, and a photo texted to the owner when there is time. It works until the route grows. By the twelfth pool the numbers from the third are a guess, and the customer who asks what you put in their water on Tuesday gets an answer from memory.
Route software fixes the paperwork, but it is commonly billed per serviced pool every month, often with a monthly minimum, and it lives behind an account on someone else's server. PoolRound is sized for one person and one phone. It keeps the route, the readings and the report in the same place, and it does not need a signal in the backyard to do it.
The whole stop is a handful of taps between brushing the steps and closing the gate. Nothing has to be retyped at the end of the day, because the visit you saved is the record.
The report is a single page with your name at the top, the date and time of the visit, the address, the photo you took, each reading with its unit, the chemicals you added with amounts, and the work you ticked off. It goes out as a PDF or as an image, whichever reads better in the customer's messages.
Owners open it like any other attachment. There is no portal to log into and no app to install, which matters for the customer who only wants to know that the pool was serviced and what went into it. A report with a photo and the numbers answers the question before it is asked.
Commercial pools run on daily paperwork. Many state and county health codes expect the operator to test and write down disinfectant and pH every day and keep the sheets on site. PoolRound has a daily log mode for these pools: each day's readings go on one line, and the month can be exported as a PDF to print or file with the pool's records.
The requirements themselves differ from place to place, in what has to be tested, how often, and how long records are kept. PoolRound gives you a clean, dated record of what you entered. Whether that record satisfies your local code is a question for the pool's operator and the health department that inspects it.
PoolRound is a route book and a report maker, not a dispatch board or a billing system. It records the chemicals you added; it does not tell you what to add. The product label, your training and your own test kit make that call, and the app keeps the receipt.
There is no account, no customer portal and no server holding your customers' addresses. The route, the pool cards and the visit history live on your phone, and the reports and logs you export are files you keep wherever you like.
PoolRound is a record-keeping tool. It does not calculate chemical doses, judge whether water is safe for swimming, or certify compliance with any state or local pool code. Always follow the chemical product label and the rules of your local health department.
No. The report is a PDF or an image that you send from your phone's share sheet by text or email. The customer opens it like any other attachment, with no login.
No. It records what you measured and what you added, with the amount. Dosing decisions stay with you and the directions on the product label.
Yes. The route, the visit entry and the report are all built on the phone without a connection. You can share the report on the spot or as soon as you are back in coverage.
On your phone. There is no account and no server copy. The reports and daily logs you export as PDFs are yours to file wherever you keep business records.
Yes. Commercial pools have a daily log mode that keeps one line per day and exports the month as a PDF. Check your local health code for what the log has to contain; PoolRound does not certify compliance.
Yes. Salt is one of the readings on the visit screen, and the pool card notes the equipment, such as a salt chlorine generator, alongside the volume and surface.
