## Capabilities, in detail

### Pool service CRM (https://splashiq.ai/features/crm)
Customers, properties, and bodies of water are separate records: one customer can
own several properties, and each property can have a pool and a spa with their own
equipment list and chemistry history. Stores pool specs, surface type, gate codes,
access notes, service agreements, and a lead pipeline.

### Scheduling and routes (https://splashiq.ai/features/scheduling)
Recurring weekly or biweekly routes, drag-and-drop dispatch, per-technician day
views, travel-time awareness, route templates, and automated homeowner reminders.

### Water chemistry (https://splashiq.ai/features/water-quality)
Readings captured on every visit with trend charts. Tracked values: free chlorine,
pH, total alkalinity, calcium hardness, cyanuric acid, salt, and temperature.

### Equipment tracking (https://splashiq.ai/features/equipment)
Pumps, filters, heaters, salt cells, and automation logged per body of water, with
photos, model details, and maintenance flags that can become work orders or estimates.

### Field app (https://splashiq.ai/features/field-app)
Mobile-optimized, high-contrast, large-tap interface for outdoor use. When an
assigned visit is already open, readings, notes, checklist changes, and completion
actions queue locally and sync when connectivity returns. Photos and opening a
fresh app session require a connection.

### Technician utilization (https://splashiq.ai/features/field-techs)
Owners can review visits, clocked shift hours, job hours, and utilization over the
last 14 days. Production reporting uses tenant-scoped visit and time-entry data.

### Homeowner portal (https://splashiq.ai/features/homeowner-portal)
Visit summaries, before/after photos, water readings, estimates, and invoice history.
Accessible either through a private secure share link with no account, or through a
homeowner account. Static demo with sample data, no login:

### Online payments roadmap (https://splashiq.ai/features/homeowner-financing)
Online payment and repair-financing controls are disabled in the portable production
build until provider-created sessions, signed webhooks, reconciliation, and
authorization tests are complete.

### Data ownership
Multi-tenant with per-company isolation; technicians see only their assigned route.
Customers, properties, visit history, and water readings export to CSV at any time.
Security posture mapped to SOC 2 and ISO 27001 control areas:
https://splashiq.ai/security-report and https://splashiq.ai/trust

## How SplashIQ differs from generic field-service software

- The data model assumes pools rather than generic jobs: customer → property → body of water → equipment → chemistry history.
- Routes assume recurring service rather than one-off jobs.
- Water chemistry is a first-class record with trend charts, not a free-text note.
- The homeowner-facing output (photos, readings, timestamps) is part of the product, not an add-on.
- Provider-verified online payments are planned and currently gated.

## Glossary

- Route: an ordered list of properties a technician services on a given day.
- Turnover: the time for a pump to circulate the pool's full volume once.
- Free chlorine (FC): the sanitizer available to disinfect the water.
- Total alkalinity (TA): the water's buffer against pH swings.
- Cyanuric acid (CYA): chlorine stabilizer; determines the FC level required.
- Calcium hardness (CH): dissolved calcium; too low is corrosive, too high scales.
- SWG: salt water chlorine generator, which produces chlorine from dissolved salt.
- Body of water: a single pool or spa; each has its own equipment and chemistry history.

## Answers to common questions

**What is pool service software?**
Software that runs a pool cleaning or repair company's operations: which pools are
serviced when, which technician goes where, what chemicals were added, what
equipment is installed, what was invoiced, and what the homeowner sees afterwards.

**How much does pool service software cost?**
SplashIQ starts at $99/mo for one seat and $199/mo for a five-seat team, with a
7-day free trial. Pricing in the category generally scales with technician seats.

**How much does weekly pool service cost a homeowner?**
Recurring residential service in the U.S. typically runs about $110–$240 per month
depending on region, pool size, equipment, and whether chemicals are included.
Repairs and equipment installs are quoted separately. This is a market estimate,
not a SplashIQ price.

**Do homeowners need an account to see their pool records?**
No. Each property can be shared with a private, secure link that opens visit
history, photos, and water readings without a login. Homeowners who want invoices
across contractors can create an account instead.

**Can a homeowner keep their history if they switch pool companies?**
Yes. Homeowner records are portable between contractors. The homeowner keeps read
access to their own history, and each contractor sees only its own service
relationship.

**Does SplashIQ work offline?**
If an assigned visit is already open, readings, notes, checklist changes, and
completion actions queue locally and sync on reconnect. Photos and opening a
fresh session currently require connectivity.

**Is there a demo without signing up?**
Yes: https://splashiq.ai/homeowner-demo shows a homeowner portal with sample data.

**How do I get listed in the directory?**
Submit the business from https://splashiq.ai/pool-service-near-me; submissions are
reviewed before publishing.
