Testing, written down

Every visit, free chlorine and pH get checked against a comparator, the numbers go in a notebook on the deck, and whatever was added gets noted next to them. Targets are boring on purpose.

Who shows up

Blue Stripe is owner-operated. No employees, no rotating techs, no dispatch — every call goes to the same person who works your pool.

Before this, a long career in Collin County law enforcement. The same habits — show up on time, write things down, finish what you started — carried over from the patrol car to the route truck.

Pumps, filters, heaters

Diagnosed in front of you, parts named, price quoted before anything comes apart. If a cartridge or pump needs replacement, you keep the old one if you want it.
