Frequently Asked Questions
How much should I charge for monthly pool service?
Residential pool service: $100-$200/month for weekly service. Most common: $125-$175/month. Factors: pool size, equipment condition, chemical needs. Commercial pools: $200-$500+/month. Always price for profit, not just to match competitors.
How many pools can one person service per day?
Efficient pool technicians service 8-15 pools per day depending on route density and service level. Average: 10-12 pools. With tight routes (under 10 min between stops), 12-15 is achievable. Over 15 risks quality issues.
What's a good LTV for pool cleaning clients?
Pool clients typically stay 2-4 years. At $150/month with 3% monthly churn, LTV is ~$5,000. Reduce churn through excellent service and relationship building. Commercial accounts can have $10,000+ LTV.
How do I reduce pool client churn?
Target under 3% monthly churn. Keys: Consistent quality, communication (texts when serviced), seasonal reminders, handling issues immediately, annual equipment checks. Offer small discounts for annual prepay. Each 1% churn reduction = significant profit.
Is buying a pool route worth it?
Pool routes sell for 8-14x monthly gross revenue. A $5,000/month route might cost $50,000-$70,000. Evaluate: client contracts, equipment condition, churn history, route density. Payback should be 2-3 years. Due diligence is critical.
