Overview
PoolBoss is pool service software for pool companies in Florida. It's built for a route that runs all twelve months: log chemical readings at each pool on your phone, keep up with heat- and storm-driven swings, and bill from the visits you logged. The Free plan covers up to 20 pools at no cost.

Why PoolBoss fits
What pool service in Florida actually looks like
Florida has one of the highest concentrations of residential pools in the country. Most routes are year-round, the customer base is dense in the suburbs, and the service season never really ends - it shifts from summer demand peaks to a steadier fall and winter cadence, but it doesn't stop.
For pool companies, that means a full route all year, consistent recurring revenue, and chemistry that moves faster than it does in almost any other state. You're managing a twelve-month business with twelve months of chemistry, billing, and customer communication to keep organized.

Florida's chemistry challenges
Florida heat, high humidity, intense UV, and afternoon rain create the fastest chemical depletion conditions in the country. Free chlorine burns off quickly. Algae pressure is constant during the summer months. Cyanuric acid builds over the season, and a rainstorm can drop pH and dilute everything you just dosed.
PoolBoss logs the full reading set at each visit: free chlorine, pH, total alkalinity, calcium hardness, cyanuric acid, and salt level for salt pools. The history is per-pool, so you can see how a specific account trends over the season instead of trying to remember from visit to visit.

Storm season and documentation
Florida storm season runs June through November. After a major storm, pool chemistry changes fast: heavy rainfall dilutes everything, debris loads the filter, and algae can bloom within days if the pool isn't treated quickly.
When you visit after a storm, those readings and notes are in the visit record permanently. If a customer asks why the pool required extra treatment after a hurricane system, the record shows what you found and what you dosed. That documentation protects you and gives the customer something concrete instead of your memory of a busy week.

Route management for a dense Florida market
Florida routes tend to be geographically compact in the suburbs - many accounts close together, which is efficient when the route is organized. PoolBoss keeps your stops in the order you set, with each pool's address, customer name, and specs visible in the mobile app as you drive.
You build the route once. When you hire a technician, you assign the route to them and it shows up on their phone as their day. When a customer cancels or moves, you adjust the stop without rebuilding the route from scratch.

2 of 12 doneThe mobile app for Florida field techs
Florida techs work in heat and humidity all day. The PoolBoss mobile app is built for the field: today's route with ordered stops, each pool's specs and last readings visible before you start, and a logging form that captures everything in one pass.
When the visit is done, you mark it complete and the record is in the system. The admin can see it from the web dashboard. The customer gets a service report if you send one. You move to the next stop.
- Today's route with addresses and stop order
- Pool specs and previous readings at each stop
- Chemical logging form with all standard parameters
- Notes field for anything unusual or storm-related
- Mark complete - no paper to bring back

From the pool to the customer's inbox
At the end of the week or month, you create invoices from the visits you logged, add line items for chemicals or extras, and send them with an online payment link. Customers pay by card from their phone. No separate invoicing app, no typing field notes from memory.
For a Florida route with consistent recurring accounts, this saves time on every billing cycle. The invoices are already informed by the visit records.

Why PoolBoss
Why pool pros choose PoolBoss
Built for pools, not bolted on
Water chemistry is the job, so it's the core of the product, not a notes field. Generic field-service tools don't track it.
Flat rate by pool count
You pay by how many pools you manage. No per-seat fees, no per-pool meter, and no surprise line on the bill as you grow.
Every feature on every plan
Nothing is locked to a higher tier. The Free plan has the same features as Fleet. Plans differ only by pool count.
Works in the field
The tech app runs on any phone and keeps working with no signal, so a visit completes at the pool and syncs when you're back on.
“It's straightforward and it works. Good enough for me.”

FAQ
Common questions
Does PoolBoss work for pool companies in Florida?
Yes. PoolBoss is built for the kind of year-round route Florida runs: recurring scheduling, on-site chemical logging for heat- and storm-driven swings, service reports, and invoicing, all from a mobile app. The Free plan covers up to 20 pools.
Can it handle Florida's year-round service season?
Yes. Routes are recurring and run on whatever cadence you set, so a twelve-month Florida season is handled the same as any other. There's no seasonal limit, and pricing doesn't change with the time of year.
How much does PoolBoss cost in Florida?
The same as everywhere: a flat rate by pool count. Free up to 20 pools, $29 a month up to 100, $79 up to 250, and $249 for 250 or more. Every plan includes every feature and unlimited users on paid plans.
What software tracks pool chemistry for Florida heat and storm-season swings?
PoolBoss logs free chlorine, pH, alkalinity, and cyanuric acid at each visit, so heat- and storm-driven swings show up in each pool's history. You can spot a pool trending out of range before it becomes a callback, not after.
What app do pool techs use for pool service in Florida?
PoolBoss has a mobile app for technicians: today's route with ordered stops, each pool's specs and last readings, a chemical-logging form at the stop, and a mark-complete when the visit is done. The admin sees completed visits and readings on the web dashboard.
Is there free pool service software for a new Florida pool company?
Yes. The PoolBoss Free plan covers up to 20 pools at no cost, includes every feature, and has no trial period that runs out. You move to a paid tier only when your pool count grows past 20.
How do Florida pool service companies bill their customers?
PoolBoss lets you create an invoice from the visits you logged, add line items, and send it by email with an online payment link. Customers pay from the link; PoolBoss marks the invoice paid. No separate invoicing app needed.
