Free Pool Cleaner
Service Agreement
Stop trading your valuable technician hours for the stress of chasing checks and let professional systems handle the 'bad cop' role so you can focus on water chemistry.
Pro Contractor Tip
Incorporate a 'Right to Suspend' clause in your service agreement that permits a total stop-work order and chemical treatment lockout once an invoice exceeds 30 days past due.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Pool Cleaner, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I stop a client from feeling targeted when I ask for money during a service visit?
The best way to remove the 'awkwardness' is to transition to an automated Dunning Engine. When a digital system sends the reminders, it shifts the perceived authority from you personally to your business's 'billing department' robots, preserving your face-to-face relationship on-site.
What is the most effective way to handle a client who consistently pays 20 days late?
Inconsistency is a sign of a process gap. By implementing automated dunning software, you can set up a sequence of perfectly timed 'pre-due' and 'past-due' triggers. This trains your clients to realize that your payment terms are a firm business requirement, not a flexible suggestion.
Can I legally stop cleaning the pool if they haven't paid?
While you should consult your local regulations regarding contract law, most service providers use automated systems to trigger a 'Service Suspension' alert. Using a Dunning Engine to communicate a stop-work order ensures the client is notified instantly that their service has been paused due to non-payment, protecting your time and chemical overhead.
