Mobile walkthrough

A checklist in Pool Runs is a reusable set of steps with required-item, photo, and frequency rules. A checklist can apply to every recurring route stop, to a work-order type, or to one customer's body of water.

Checklist Types

TypeUse it for
Route StopThe regular service routine used across recurring pool stops. An organization has one route-stop checklist.
Work OrderA reusable job checklist that can be assigned to work-order types.
CustomerA checklist dedicated to one body of water, such as a commercial pool or a spa with different service requirements.
