Develop a thorough knowledge of all pool cleaning techniques.
Know what supplies you'll need in order to do this business efficiently. This can include Surface Supplied Diving equipment and other materials. To start a pool maintenance business requires little capital. All you'll need is a good selection of nets, hoses, skimmers, test kits and chemicals and a vehicle large enough to carry your equipment and supplies.
Also having an underwater breathing apparatus so you can get down there to DO THE REPAIRS AND CLEANING is essential.
- You can always maintain pools just for private homeowners. But the larger your market, like commercial pools, the more money you can make.
- Market yourself as a pool maintenance professional. Print business cards and flyers advertising your services. List your services such as weekly rounds, maintaining pumps, filters and skimmers and doing regular routine cleaning. Adjust pH and Total Alkalinity for your customers (because they don't know how to). Offer your services year-round and pick up the spa and hot-tub end of the business. You can always start part-time in the off season and work up to full time.
Establish a friendly relationship with pool builders and pool supply companies. Give them a stack of your business cards and flyers. Ask them to put a good word in for you with their customers. Have good people skills, communication and a positive attitude. Prove that you are highly motivated by staying in touch with pool business associates and reminding them that you are available for work. Once you start getting jobs, be efficient and thorough and you'll start getting referral business.
