Who this list is for
Built for a residential pool cleaner preparing to serve recurring clients, this checklist covers the route-ready equipment and client records needed before the calendar fills up. It is aimed at pool service, not a general cleaning business.
How to use this list
Handle Business registration and General liability insurance first. Set up the Pool cleaning service menu, Recurring service price sheet, and Customer service agreement before quoting ongoing work. Next, use the Pool access instructions form and Pool equipment inventory form during intake. Photograph conditions with the Pool condition photo form, then stage the Water testing kit, pole, skimmer net, brush, vacuum head, and vacuum hose.
Common mistakes
Do not book a route without access instructions or an equipment inventory for each pool. Skipping condition photos makes it harder to separate existing issues from conditions observed later. Keep chemical-related supplies in the Chemical storage container rather than loose among wet tools or client paperwork.
What is on this list
You will find the service menu, recurring price sheet, agreement, access form, equipment inventory form, condition photo form, and service visit report template. Core equipment includes a telescopic pool pole, leaf skimmer net, pool brush, manual vacuum head, vacuum hose, and water testing kit. Cross off tools, forms, and accounts already in place.
Before you go
Use the Route planning app to order stops and check each client’s access instructions. Load the pole, net, brush, vacuum head, hose, and testing kit, along with the Chemical storage container. After each visit, complete the Service visit report template so the next scheduled stop has a clear record.
