Openings, closings and contracts set in advance.
Your year is dictated by two peaks: everybody wants to open in May and close in October. Here's how to spread the demand out and live on the regular work the rest of the time.
Opening and closing slots bookable months ahead, weekly maintenance contracts planned, visits logged with their readings, breakdowns handled as emergencies, and a loyalty programme that brings owners back each season.
Every opening is asked for in the same week, the moment the weather turns. You can't do them all, you let loyal customers down, and you work fourteen-hour days for three weeks.
Opening and closing slots are open to booking months ahead. Your customers book in February for April, and you watch the load spread itself over six weeks.
Regular maintenance is the heart of the trade: one visit a week through the season, with the readings, the chemicals and the cleaning. It's also how you get to know the pools and catch faults before they cost real money.
Contracts are set for the year, settled online, and the visits planned area by area. Every visit records the readings — pH, chlorine, filtration — which the customer finds in their history.
An odd pH reading two weeks running triggers a survey: the pump is replaced before it fails, in the middle of the season.
Water that's gone over, a pump that gives up the day before a family weekend: the customer rings on a loop. It's also the best-paid call-out of the year, if you're the one they find first.
In season, your website offers bookable breakdown slots. The customer describes the fault, gives the type of pool and filtration, sees the call-out price and books. You set off with the right part, not with a vague description.
Pump, robot cleaner, cover, automatic dosing: these sales are usually decided at the opening or the closing, when you're there and the customer can see the wear.
The quote is put together on your phone during the visit and signed online that evening. The pool's history — the age of the equipment, the previous faults — makes the case for you.
“Openings are booked from February. May isn't a month of survival any more.”

They do when they're asked: a message in February with the booking link fills a good part of April and May. That is exactly what Traxo sends for you.
The pool's record keeps the volume, the type of filtration, the equipment and the history. Whoever is on the job has it all on their phone before they arrive.
Yes, alongside the contract, paid online. Plenty of people put them straight into the monthly plan.
