Pool & spa care
The volume, the sanitizer and what sits on the pad filled in once; the readings and what was added written on every visit; the opening and the closing as service types of their own — and an openings-and-closings page on your website. Daybook speaks pool tech.
Pool & spa care is a route trade, so Daybook starts a new job as a recurring plan rather than a one-off, calls the place a property rather than a job site, and opens the schedule on the map — a service day is a run of pools, and the run is the thing you plan. The rest is this trade’s and nobody else’s: weekly pool service, spring opening, fall closing, hot tub & spa service, equipment repair & replacement, liner & leak work and green pool recovery as service types; a pool & spa setup sheet, a service visit log and an opening & closing report as checklists; a starter price list from a weekly visit to a winterizing kit; and the words on the screen are a pool tech’s.
The pool itself is the record, and that is the part that earns its keep. The setup sheet is filled once — inground vinyl, concrete or fibreglass, above-ground, hot tub or swim spa; the volume; chlorine, salt, bromine or mineral; what is on the pad, make and model where the sticker is still readable; the service day and the gate code. The visit log is then filled every week: free chlorine or bromine, pH, total alkalinity and salt as numbers, whether the water is clear, hazy, cloudy or green, what was added, what was done, and anything to flag. So the tech reads the volume off the sheet instead of guessing at it, and when the pump starts making a noise in July, what last Thursday’s visit wrote is already on the job.
On top of everything Daybook does for every trade — the full list is here — pool & spa care gets its own tools.
A pool & spa setup sheet — type, volume, sanitizer, the equipment on the pad, the service day, the gate code and what to watch for from an automatic cover to well water; a service visit log with the readings, the water, the chemicals added and the work done; and an opening & closing report with the cover, the equipment, the water level and the damage found, which holds the job open until it is filled in — attached to the right jobs automatically.
A new job opens as a recurring plan: pick weekly or every two weeks and the day it falls on, and the next ninety days of visits are on the schedule — mark one done and another appears at the far end. The opening and the closing are service types in their own right, not a line on the weekly job, as are a green recovery, a drain and fill, a liner and a pump that quit.
The day’s pools come up as numbered stops in driving order, with the drive time and the distance for the run above them and the order yours to drag — or found for you as the shortest run, with what that saved on the banner. The calendar is one tap away.
Weekly and bi-weekly visits, hot tub visits, chemical-only calls, cartridge cleans, sand backwashes and salt-cell cleans, a season of service inground or above-ground, openings and closings for both, hot tub start-ups and winterizing, a spa drain, clean and refill, equipment diagnostics and the labour on pumps, heaters, filters, cells, automation and lights, dye and pressure leak detection, liner patches and replacements, green recovery, shock and phosphate treatments, pucks, liquid chlorine, salt, balancers, algaecide, antifreeze, filter sand and cartridges, winter plugs, the trip charge and the after-hours premium — a labelled starter list on day one, with your own prices on it.
A quote reads weekly service by the visit and the season rather than by the hour, with the opening on the same page and the closing offered as an optional line the client can add. Weekly pool service, spring opening, fall closing, hot tub & spa service, equipment, liner & leak and green recovery — the service types, the examples and the document preview all speak pool.
Chemistry and water balance, shock, green, drain and fill, the pad, salt cell, liner, route and property — drafts and job summaries use a pool tech’s vocabulary, and the auto-classifier knows that green, cloudy or cannot-see-the-bottom is a recovery before anything else in the message, that a hot tub is spa service even when it names a pump, and that a leak at the pump or the heater is equipment while a leak in the shell, the liner or the lines is liner and leak work.
This is not copy — it is what the app says to pool & spa care businesses, word for word. Most trades see the left-hand word; you see the right.
Your account starts with a real pool & spa care site template — an openings-and-closings page included, laid out as the steps of the two visits that bracket a season — edit it in the app, and the quote form asks what you have, what it needs and what the water is doing now.
Your own pools beat any feature list — put one visit’s readings in and watch them sit on the job with the rest of the season.
