A median home value of $1,413,900 corresponds to the kind of housing where pools are more common. That is among the highest of the markets we cover (100th percentile of 401 markets). The typical market we cover sits at $369,200. Across the 46 other California markets we cover the average is $748,420, so Berkeley sits above the state pattern.

That is among the lowest of the markets we cover (23rd percentile of 401 markets). The typical market we cover sits at 56%. Across the 46 other California markets we cover the average is 59%, so Berkeley sits below the state pattern.

How does the CRM track water chemistry readings over time?+
At each weekly visit, the technician logs water chemistry readings through the mobile app — pH, free chlorine, combined chlorine, alkalinity, calcium hardness, cyanuric acid, and salt level if applicable. These readings are stored in the pool profile and displayed as trend charts. The system flags out-of-range values in real time so the technician can take corrective action on site. Historical trends reveal pools that are chronically difficult to balance, which may indicate equipment issues, environmental factors, or the need for a service plan adjustment. This data also protects your business by documenting consistent proper maintenance if chemistry-related damage claims arise.
Can the system manage pool equipment inventory and replacement schedules?+
Yes. Each pool profile includes an equipment inventory — pump model and installation date, filter type and last replacement, heater model and age, salt cell status, automation controller version. The system tracks repair history for each piece of equipment and flags items approaching end of life based on manufacturer lifespan estimates and repair frequency. When a pump has been repaired three times in 18 months, the system generates a replacement recommendation that your technician or office can present to the client. This proactive approach generates repair and installation revenue while demonstrating expertise and care.
