A properly stocked service vehicle eliminates the most common source of wasted time in pool service: return trips for forgotten supplies. Industry surveys indicate that pool technicians make an average of 2-3 unplanned supply runs per week, costing 30-60 minutes each. Over a year, that's 75-150 hours of lost productivity.
This checklist organizes truck inventory into five categories: chemicals (12 items), testing supplies (6 items), tools (15 items), replacement parts (9 items), and safety/miscellaneous (9 items). Each category includes quantity fields for tracking minimum stock levels.
Essential chemicals include liquid chlorine (12.5%), muriatic acid, trichlor tabs, calcium hypochlorite shock, sodium bicarbonate, cyanuric acid, algaecide, phosphate remover, clarifier, salt (for salt pools), DE powder, and stain remover. Quantities vary based on route size, but most technicians carry 2-4 days of chemical supply.
The most effective approach is a 3-minute morning inspection before departing for the route. Check chemical levels, verify test kit reagents are stocked, confirm all tools are present, and review the day's route for any special parts requirements. Restock chemicals at the end of each day rather than the morning to avoid delays.
