Pool service software for owners · Solo & small crews
Run your pool route from your phone.
Get tomorrow’s board, confirm every visit, and take add-on orders — before the first stop. Customers don’t download an app. You approve every schedule change.
Cancel anytime · You own your data · We never change your schedule without you
The real cost
Spreadsheets and group texts look free. They aren’t.
Most owner-operators don’t need a bigger software suite. They need the day to run from their phone — fewer leaks in time, revenue, and attention. SplashRoute is built for that.
No-shows and last-minute cancels
One empty stop mid-route wastes drive time and wages. Then you’re stuck rebuilding the day over text.
Conflicts you catch too late
Double-bookings, missing techs, and long drives stay hidden until someone is already late.
Add-ons that never get asked for
A customer would have paid for a filter clean — but nobody offered it, or it never made it onto the invoice.
Ops stuck in your personal texts
Confirmations, reschedules, and “where’s my tech?” hit your phone all day. You’re the office — and the group chat never closes.
How add-ons work
Customer taps Approve. You get the sale. Tech sees the update.
Most tools just send “see you Monday.” SplashRoute’s reminder email — sent under your business name — can include a short add-on offer. The customer taps Approve in the email or the no-app portal, and the visit, invoice, and tech board update automatically. They get an emailed receipt; you get a record of every approval.
Filter clean added to Monday’s visit. Receipt emailed. Your tech was notified.
What’s included
Everything you need to run the route — for $59/mo.
One workspace for the owner and the field. Not a pile of separate tools for scheduling, confirmations, chemistry, and invoicing.
- Owner schedule board for jobs, techs, and conflicts
- Branded confirmation emails sent under your business name (4 languages)
- Add-on offers inside the reminder email — customers approve in one tap
- No-app customer portal with emailed receipts and an approval record
- Tap-to-text: one tap opens Messages with the text prefilled, from your own number
- Tech app with routes, checklists, chemistry, and photos
- Route suggestions you approve (never forced)
- Invoicing that matches what actually happened
- Owner reports + CSV export anytime
- Direct email access to Mike and Ty
One filter-clean add-on a month covers the cost.
Simple math
One ~$60 add-on a month covers Solo. Everything after that is profit.
- 1 filter clean / month at $60
- SplashRoute Solo: $59 / month
- The plan is covered
- Every add-on after that is profit
- 3–5 approved add-ons / week
- Can mean $720–$1,200 / month
- Plus less time spent fixing the day
- Software cost stays $59
- Hours stuck in group texts
- Missed upsells on site
- Mid-day schedule rework
- Paying for tools built for other trades
Even if add-ons only break even with the subscription, owners stay for the schedule board and tech app.
Compared to what people use now
Pool routes on your phone — not a tool borrowed from other trades.
What you get
Built so an owner-operator can run it from their phone.
- 01
Run the day from your phone
Jobs, techs, confirmations, and conflicts on one board built for owner-operators. Catch problems in the morning — not after a tech is already late.
- 02
Confirmations sent under your business name
Branded emails go out on your behalf — replies land in your inbox, and customers confirm in one tap. Supports English, Spanish, Portuguese, and French. Need to text someone? Tap-to-text opens your Messages app with the message prefilled — your own number, nothing to register.
- 03
Offer add-ons in the reminder
Customer taps Approve in the email or the no-app portal. Visit updates. Tech is notified. Invoice reflects the change — with an emailed receipt and an approval record.
- 04
Give techs a clear field app
Today’s route, checklists, water chemistry, dosing help, and before/after photos. Techs don’t see admin or invoices.
- 05
Suggest better routes — you still decide
SplashRoute can suggest smarter groupings. You approve changes. Nothing rewrites your schedule on its own.
- 06
See what’s making money
Track add-on sales, revenue by tech, and route efficiency so you can fix problems before year-end.
Getting started
Three steps. Ready the same day.
Import what you already have
Bring in customers, techs, and recurring visits from a CSV, a paste, or phone contacts. You don’t rebuild from scratch.
Approve the next day’s board
Review conflicts and route suggestions, then send branded confirmation emails — with optional add-on offers.
Techs run the route. You run the business.
Techs use the field app. You watch confirmations, add-ons, and issues from your phone — without living in a group chat.
Why this is believable
Clear reasons to trust the offer before you pay.
5 approvals/week at $60 is $1,200/mo
That’s from reminder emails customers already get — not a new sales team.
Suggestions only. You approve.
If you’ve been burned by tools that rearrange the day without asking, SplashRoute won’t do that.
Chemistry and photos on the tech’s phone
Checklists, dosing help, and before/after photos. Techs get the job — not your admin screens.
Export CSV anytime
Leave whenever you want and take your customers with you. No hostage software.

- –You won’t import customers or send confirmations

You shouldn’t need a long contract to try the right tool.
- ✓ Cancel anytime on monthly billing
- ✓ Export CSV whenever you want
- ✓ We never auto-change your schedule
- ✓ Billing runs on Stripe — we don’t store cards

Pricing
Solo is $59/mo. Crew is $99/mo. No per-pool fees, ever.
Some competitors charge $1–2 per pool, every month. We don’t — and every feature is in both plans. You pay for crews, not capabilities. When your customers pay you by card, SplashRoute takes 0% — you keep every dollar except Stripe’s own processing fee.
Solo
One truck on the road — just you, or you and a helper riding along.
Or $590/year — 2 months free. One ~$60 add-on a month covers it.
- ✓One crew — one route running at a time
- ✓Scheduling board and conflict alerts
- ✓Branded confirmation emails with add-on offers
- ✓No-app customer portal with one-tap approvals
- ✓Route suggestions you approve
- ✓Tech app: checklists, chemistry, photos
- ✓Invoicing and owner reports
Crew
Two or three trucks running separate routes the same day.
Or $990/year — 2 months free.
- ✓Up to 3 crews — three routes at once
- ✓Everything in Solo, nothing held back
- ✓Pay per truck, never per pool or per person
- ✓Assign routes per crew, see each one’s day
- ✓One owner view across every truck
Questions
Straight answers before you buy.
Will SplashRoute change my schedule without asking?+
No. It flags conflicts and suggests better routes. You approve every change. Nothing rewrites your day in the background.
How is this different from Jobber or ServiceTitan?+
Those are solid tools for multi-trade shops. SplashRoute is built only for pool service owner-operators: weekly routes, multi-language emails, portal, and service reports, water chemistry, before/after photos, and add-on offers inside the reminder email — all designed to run from your phone. If you need one system for plumbing, HVAC, and pools together, we’re not the fit.
Is $59/mo worth it for a small team?+
One approved ~$60 filter clean a month covers Solo — every add-on after that is profit, before you count fewer no-shows or less time spent chasing confirmations. If you never sell add-ons and never lose time to scheduling chaos, you may not need it.
Do my customers need an app?+
No. They get an email from your company name — they confirm the visit or approve add-ons in one tap. No app, no password.
How do add-on offers work?+
The reminder email includes a short offer (for example: Filter Clean, $60). The customer taps Approve in the email or in the no-app customer portal, and SplashRoute updates the visit, notifies the tech, updates the invoice, and emails a receipt — so every approval has a record.
Are there per-pool fees or extra charges?+
No. Solo is $59/mo and covers one crew — one route running at a time. Crew is $99/mo and covers up to 3 crews. No per-pool fees — some competitors charge $1–2 per pool per month — and 0% payment fees on top. You pay per truck, never per pool and never per person: two people riding in one truck is one crew.
Does this work for commercial and HOA routes?+
Yes. Residential, commercial, and HOA — especially routes with recurring weekly stops.
How fast can I get set up?+
Most owners import customers and techs the same day, review the next day’s board, and send the first confirmation emails before the next route.
What if I cancel?+
Cancel anytime on monthly billing. Export your data as CSV whenever you want. Your data stays yours.
