Everything you get with Detailed Checklists

Built by people who've actually run the truck. Every benefit below came from a pool service owner who asked for it.

Three item types, endless combinations

Checkboxes for simple done/not done. Pass/flag/fail for equipment inspections. Section labels to group like items. Build any template you need.

Drag to reorder

Build the template in the order a tech walks the pool. Drag items up and down until the flow matches the real visit.

Require a photo

Make a photo mandatory on any item. Green pool? Broken filter? No photo — no check mark. Bulletproof proof of work.

Template library

Build once, reuse forever. Residential maintenance, commercial, opening, closing. Every template saved and ready to assign.

Snapshot per visit

When a visit generates, the checklist snapshots onto it. Edit the template next week and old visits keep the checklist they were completed with.

Customer-facing proof

Service reports pull the completed checklist (with photos) straight into the homeowner's email. The "was the filter even cleaned?" call is over.

The difference, in plain English

Running a pool company before and after Detailed Checklists.

Before

The clipboard way

  • Techs checking boxes in the truck after the fact
  • No proof the pump was actually inspected
  • Every customer getting the same generic list
  • Customers calling to ask if X got done
  • Checklist changes wiping out history
After

With PoolSurf

  • Techs walk the pool with the checklist on their phone
  • Photos are required. Proof is built in
  • Every pool type gets its own template
  • Customers see the finished checklist in their report
  • Template edits never touch old visits

How it works

Three steps from "we should try this" to running it across the whole crew.

01

Build the template

Drag items, set types, mark photo-required, group by section.

02

Assign it

Attach templates at the pool or package level. The right pool gets the right checklist automatically.

03

Techs complete it in the field

The mobile app walks them through every item, captures required photos, and locks the visit when they're done.

Frequently asked questions

The stuff pool service owners usually ask about Detailed Checklists.

Can I require multiple photos on one item?

Yeah. Techs can capture as many as the job needs. All of them upload and attach to the visit record.

What happens when I update a template?

Updates apply to future visits only. Historic visits keep the checklist they were completed with, so your audit trail stays clean.

Do checklists show on the service report?

Yes, if you want them to. Toggle sections on or off per report template. Photos and all.
