The plan that splits the work
Partial Pool Service in Trophy Club, TX
The Full plan without the netting and vacuuming. The testing, the chemistry, the brushing, the baskets and the equipment check still happen every week.
What the Partial plan is
Some owners are in the pool's business anyway. They will lift the net off the wall while they are out there and run the brush round the steps without thinking about it, and none of that feels like a chore. What they want handed over is the part that needs testing, chemicals and a look at the equipment pad.
That is what this tier is: the work split rather than reduced. The technician handles the chemistry and the equipment side on the weekly visit, and the owner keeps the netting and the vacuuming between visits. If that division does not describe you, the Full plan covers the whole weekly clean and is the page you want instead.
Who does what
What the technician does
Tests the water on the visit and adjusts the chemicals to bring the balance back into range, which is the part of pool care where being wrong is expensive.
Brushes the walls and steps, empties the skimmer and pump baskets, and cleans the waterline tile.
Checks the pump, filter, heater and any salt system for leaks, noise and anything running outside its usual behaviour, and flags what is starting to go.
What you keep doing
Skimming and netting the surface between visits, which on a windy week or through leaf drop is the job that most needs doing more than once.
Vacuuming the floor to lift what has already settled.
Nothing else changes. The chemistry, the brushing, the baskets and the equipment check are all still on the weekly visit.
What a Partial visit covers
Testing and balancing the water
The water is tested on the visit and the chemicals are adjusted to bring the balance back into range, rather than dosed to a guess.
Brushing walls and steps
The walls, steps and benches are brushed so algae has nowhere quiet to take hold.
Skimmer and pump baskets
Both baskets are emptied so the pump keeps its flow and is not left running against a restriction.
Waterline tile
The tile at the waterline is cleaned so the oil and dust line that forms there does not set into the grout.
Equipment check
The pump, filter, heater and any salt system are looked over for leaks, noise and anything running outside its usual behaviour.
Filter cleaning, booked separately
Filter cleaning is not part of this plan. It is periodic work, quoted and carried out as its own job when the filter is due.
Netting, kept by the owner
Skimming and netting the surface is the owner's job on this tier and is not part of the weekly visit.
Vacuuming, kept by the owner
Vacuuming the floor is the owner's job on this tier and is not part of the weekly visit.
How the three plans compare
The three tiers differ only in how much of the work is handled for you. They are described here by scope, which is the thing that actually separates them.
Partial Pool Service
The Full plan without the netting and vacuuming. The technician handles the testing and chemistry, the brushing, the baskets, the waterline tile and the equipment check.
This is the tier for a different kind of owner rather than a smaller version of the same one: it suits someone who wants to stay hands-on. You are on that page now.
Full Pool Service
The complete weekly clean, netting and vacuuming included, so nothing about the routine is left with the owner.
Filter cleaning and salt cell work sit outside the plan and are booked as their own jobs when they come due.
Signature Pool Service
The same weekly clean as Full, with filter cleaning, salt cell cleaning and repair call-outs carried inside the plan.
This suits an owner who would rather not track which periodic job is due and when.
What this plan costs
Plan pricing is not published yet
What a weekly plan costs depends on the pool itself: its size, its surface, how much shade and debris it takes and what equipment is on the pad. On this tier it also depends on where the split of work lands.
No number is shown rather than one that cannot be stood behind. What this page does set out is exactly which tasks sit on which side of the split, so it can be compared with the other two tiers on the work involved.
Through the year
How the schedule changes through the year
Chemical demand and debris load both fall away when the water is cold, so a Trophy Club pool in February is a lighter job than the same pool in July. That changes what the weekly visit has to do.
On this tier it also changes what the owner is left holding. Autumn leaf drop is when the netting side of the split gets heavy, and midwinter is when it more or less disappears. Worth knowing before choosing between this plan and the Full plan, because the half you keep is not the same size all year.
How the work is held to a standard
Because the work is split on this tier, what happens in the water is a shared outcome rather than one party's alone. The page below describes the method the visit is held to, which is what can honestly be set out in advance.
How the work is done
A fixed task list
The technician's half of the split is a written list worked the same way every visit, so what is covered and what is not covered is never ambiguous.
The same weekly route
The pool sits on a route that runs on a schedule, which is what makes a shift in the water readings something you notice week to week.
A record you can act on
Each visit records what was tested, what was added and anything flagged, which on this tier is also what tells the owner what to watch between visits.
