Before you quote

Photos of the whole pool, waterline, steps and equipment pad taken and saved
Gallons calculated and written down
Surface type and condition noted (plaster, pebble, vinyl, fiberglass) - vinyl and fiberglass limit acid options
Starting readings: FC, CC, pH, TA, CH, CYA, phosphates if tested
CYA level checked first - high CYA means shock levels rise sharply or a partial drain is required
Filter type and condition; is a full filter clean or media replacement required before starting?
Equipment working: pump primes, no leaks, heater isolated, automation functional
Local water-use or draining restrictions checked with the utility or city

Quote and customer agreement

Scope written: number of visits included, chemicals included or billed, filter cleans included
Clear statement that staining, etching or existing surface damage revealed by clearing is pre-existing
Not-to-exceed amount and what triggers a re-quote
Stop conditions: if the pool will not clear by visit X, the next step is drain and acid wash or a referral - and what that costs
Customer signature and date; deposit collected
Water-refill responsibility and cost assigned to the customer in writing

Day-by-day execution log

Day 1: net debris, brush walls and floor, clean filter, balance pH, begin shock at CYA-adjusted level; record readings
Day 2: retest FC and CC, re-dose, brush again, backwash or clean filter as pressure rises
Day 3: retest, add clarifier or flocculant only if appropriate for the filter type
Day 4+: hold FC until water clears and CC returns to near zero; vacuum settled debris to waste if the filter allows
Final: full balance, filter clean, photo set, handoff sheet with maintenance readings
Each day recorded with date, readings, chemicals added, and time on site

Handoff and conversion

Before/after photos delivered to the customer (and permission obtained for marketing use)
Written explanation of what caused the algae and what will prevent it
Weekly service agreement offered and signed at handoff
Final invoice matched to the quote; any overage explained against the not-to-exceed clause
