A weekly pool route, run by the owner. His name is Elkin.

A Southwest Fort Worth route, run by the owner. No call centers, no rotating techs — the truck pulls up on the same day, and the chemistry log is on the door before sundown.

A weekly visit

What happens when the truck pulls up.

A real route stop, not a quote form. Same order, every week, written down before the gate closes — so nothing on your pool is a surprise.

Walk the equipment pad first. Eyes on the pump, the filter pressure, the unions — anything that wasn't right last week.
Skim the surface. Leaves, oak catkins, whatever the wind brought in.
Brush walls, steps, and the shaded corner. Tile line and the back corner where algae starts before you can see it.
Vacuum the floor when it needs it. Manual vacuum on the visits the bottom calls for it — not every week, but never skipped when it does.
Chlorine, pH, alkalinity — tested on the deck. OTO and phenol red right there, alkalinity by titration. Numbers go on the route card before they go anywhere else.
Empty baskets, read filter pressure. Skimmer and pump baskets cleared, gauge read against last week's mark.
Log card left at the door. A handwritten card with the day's readings and anything that needs attention next week. You'll know what happened without having to ask.

Chemistry on every visit

Balanced water, written down.

Three readings every week, in the same order, on the same card. When a number starts to drift you'll see the trend before the water does.

Free chlorine — OTO test, target 1.0–3.0 ppm
pH — phenol red, target 7.2–7.8
Total alkalinity — titration, target 80–120 ppm
Stabilizer and calcium hardness checked monthly, on the same card

Filter wash & equipment inspection

The pad gets the same attention as the water.

Pressure on the gauge, hum on the motor, hairline on the union. Filters come out and get rinsed on a schedule — not on the day they finally give up.

Filter rinse on a quarterly cadence; deep clean once a year
Pump & motor inspection — bearings, seals, basket, leaks
Skimmer and main drain flow check
Pressure trend read against the prior week's mark

The bed of a work pickup loaded for a weekly pool route: telescoping pole, vacuum hose, five-gallon buckets, salt bag, milk crate with jugs of liquid chlorine and acid, and a clipboard route sheet held down by a brick.

The route, kept small on purpose

One owner, one truck, a route deliberately kept short.

Small enough that the same person knows your gate code, your dog's name, and what last week's chlorine read. Fort Worth first — Dallas on request, depending on the route day.
