1. 1iON’s login page at www.ionpoolcare.com lists route optimization, recurring routes, estimates from repair templates, before and after images in service emails, readings and dosages, parts and chemical usage, reports, QuickBooks Desktop and Online sync, and its support line.
2. 2mobile.ionpoolcare.com is titled Fluidra Pro Mobile and signs in iON Pool Care or Fluidra Pro users with their user name and password.
3. 3Fluidra’s Fluidra Pro app listing on Google Play mentions managing offline schedules, service logs and work orders, though it now leads with diagnostics for Fluidra equipment.
4. 4Pool Runs saves today’s and tomorrow’s stops, readings, doses, checklists, notes, parts, photos and videos on the phone with no signal and syncs them when the signal returns. New quotes, invoices and work orders need a connection.
5. 5These marks come from Fluidra’s iON Pool Care page as archived on December 4, 2023, which now redirects to fluidrapro.com, where iON isn’t among the listed tools.
6. 6iON’s customer portal is live at myaccount.ionpoolcare.com, though iON’s current pages don’t describe what customers see in it.
7. 7iON’s 2023 page names PaySimple Merchant Services for automatic payments. Pool Runs takes card and ACH through Stripe, which charges its own processing fees.
8. 8iON lists sync with QuickBooks Desktop and Online and shows QuickBooks balances without saying which way data moves. Pool Runs has a two-way sync with QuickBooks Online that covers customers, invoices, payments and items. It doesn’t connect to QuickBooks Desktop.
9. 9Two-way texting in Pool Runs’ shared inbox needs Communications for the number and texts plus Engage for the inbox, which together cost $80 a month.
10. 10Communications adds a business number, calls from the browser or the iPhone and Android app, ring groups, a phone menu, voicemail with transcription, number porting and the AI voice agent. The agent answers, looks up the caller’s account, takes messages and drafts a work order for the office to confirm, though it doesn’t book appointments. It includes 400 voice minutes and 1,000 texts a month.
11. 11Fresh Movers lists homes with a pool sold in the last 7 to 180 days, ranked by distance to your routes, with the sale details and the new owner, and lead routes turn them into a door-knocking route in the app. Pool discovery, which finds backyard pools from satellite imagery, and homeowner lookup use the plan’s monthly credits.
12. 12A property counts in a month once it has a completed visit that month. Over 200 properties, we price the plan with you, and the match-and-beat promise still applies.
13. 13The 2023 iON page offered a free try and a demo, neither of which appears on iON’s current login page.
14. 14You choose who gets each alert, by email or push, for events such as a skipped visit, an approved quote, a paid invoice, a signed document or a missed call. A fully custom alert is a workflow, which is part of Engage.
15. 15Workflow automation is part of Engage, $50 a month. It starts from one of 24 triggers, such as a quote accepted, an invoice paid or a missed call, and can send a text or email, alert a teammate, request a review, create a task or move a deal. Steps that text also need Communications.
