For pool service & maintenance

Every pool serviced right.
Every visit with proof.

Recurring service-route checklists, photo proof of service and water readings, and every pool tied to the customer — tap to call, tap for directions. Watch each stop get checked off from the office in real time.

Sound familiar?

The route ran. Can you prove every pool got serviced?

  • Route sheets and pool notes scattered across texts, paper, and memory
  • No proof a pool was actually serviced — just the customer’s word against the tech’s
  • Chemical readings on a scrap of paper, if they’re written down at all
  • Techs out on routes you can’t see until they’re back at the shop
  • Every tech services a pool a little differently

Standardized pool service checklists

Starter

Save your weekly service checklist — test, skim, empty baskets, brush, check equipment — as a template so every pool on every route gets the same proven service, whoever’s running it.

Proof of service & water readings

Starter

Require a photo before a stop is done — the finished pool, or the test strip and reading — so every visit ends with proof for a callback or dispute. Techs note the chemical readings in a comment.

Weekly routes & equipment checks on schedule

Starter

Set recurring lists for weekly (or twice-weekly) service routes and equipment checks — Ziptask regenerates each one automatically so no pool gets skipped.

Every pool tied to the customer

Attach the customer to a pool and your tech taps to call ahead, taps the address for turn-by-turn directions, or taps to email — with the gate code and access notes saved on the customer’s record. Contact and navigation straight from the checklist, no second app.

Sign-off before a route closes

Starter

Require a lead to review and approve before a route is marked done — catch the skipped pool or missed reading before the customer calls.

Dispatch routes to the right tech

Assign a route checklist to a tech and watch it move through to done in real time from the office — no end-of-day status calls.

Routes, service areas & crews

Pro

Scope work by route, service area, or crew. Techs see only their pools; managers see the whole board.

Keep your best techs

Pro

Points and a weekly leaderboard recognize the techs who run clean, complete routes — a low-cost edge in a tight labor market.

A record of every visit

Business

A timestamped activity log captures every completed service and sign-off — filter it and export to CSV. Each customer’s visits collect on their page, with the service photos and reading notes attached to every stop. Your backup for callbacks and disputes.

Keeps working when the signal drops

Equipment rooms, gated backyards, rural properties — pull up the route checklist you’ve opened and keep checking off stops with no connection; changes sync the moment you’re back in range. (Capturing photos and readings needs a signal.)

From the shop to the backyard

Run every route the same way

01

Build the route

Assemble the day’s pools from a template — each tied to its customer — and assign it to the tech in seconds.

02

Tech runs the route

They service each pool, tap to call or navigate, snap proof-of-service and water-reading photos, and submit from their phone. Progress shows live for the office.

03

Close with proof

A lead signs off, and you keep a record of every visit, reading, and service — for callbacks, disputes, and next week’s route.

Questions

Pool service FAQ

Can techs prove a pool was actually serviced?

Yes. Require a photo before a stop can be submitted, with a lead sign-off before the route closes — so every visit ends with evidence for the customer and your records.

Can techs record chemical readings?

Yes — add a water-test check as a checklist item that requires a photo, so the tech photographs the test strip or reading and notes the numbers in a comment. On a recurring weekly list, that becomes a timestamped, photo-backed record instead of a scrap of paper. Ziptask captures the photo and the note — it isn’t an automated water-chemistry logging or dosing system.

Can techs get directions and call customers from the app?

Yes. Attach the customer to a pool and the tech taps the address for turn-by-turn directions and gate notes, taps to call ahead, or taps to email — right from the checklist, no separate app.

Does it work out on the route?

Yes — native iOS and Android apps plus a web app, with real-time sync. Techs can dictate a list by voice, and a route you’ve opened keeps working offline: check-offs queue and sync when you’re back in range, while photos and readings upload once there’s a signal.

Can I schedule weekly routes and recurring equipment checks automatically?

Yes. Recurring lists auto-generate weekly service routes and equipment checks on the schedule you set — weekly, biweekly, or monthly — with items reset each time.

Can techs only see their own routes?

Yes. With teams you scope work by route, service area, or crew — techs see only their assigned pools, while managers see everything.

What is the best app for a pool service business?

Look for reusable route and service checklists, photo proof of service and water readings before a stop closes, recurring weekly routes, each pool tied to the customer for one-tap call and directions, and a full service history. Ziptask covers all of these on iOS, Android, and web, and is free to start.

How much does it cost?

Ziptask is free to start. Paid plans (Starter, Pro, Business) add photo proof, recurring routes, teams, tech rewards, and a full service history as you grow.
