History that doesn't mix.
Each body of water keeps its own visit history, and every reading on the stop shows last visit's value from the same water.
Pools, spas and hot tubs
Pool and spa service software that keeps the two apart.
A 450-gallon spa at 102 °F doesn't behave like 18,000 gallons in the sun. Pool Runs gives the spa its own record, its own readings and doses, and its own equipment, on the same stop at the same property.
From $45/month with 50 properties included. A pool and a spa at one address count once.
Every body of water
A spa is not a small pool. It gets its own record.
When software treats the address as the pool, the spa ends up as a line in the notes. You can't chart a note, and a tech new to the route can miss it. In Pool Runs every body of water at a property is its own record, with a name, a type, its gallons, its surface and water type, and notes that show up at the stop.

01
Its own gallons. Its own dose.
The saturation index calculator opens on the body of water you're at, with its gallons, so the suggested amounts are worked out for that water.
02
Its own history. Nothing mixed in.
Readings, chemicals added and parts used are saved to the pool or the spa they were for, so next month's question has an answer.
03
Its own equipment. With photos.
The spa heater and the pool pump are separate entries, each with make, model, serial number, install date and photos.
Chemistry per body of water
Same stop. Opposite answers.
The Henderson pool is reading corrosive and wants baking soda and soda ash. The spa beside it is scaling and wants acid. Pool Runs works out each one from its own readings and its own gallons.
0.8 fl ozWorked off the spa's 450 gal
Same spa readings, same target pH of 7.4. Work the dose off the pool's gallons and the acid comes out about forty times too high. Heat moves the index too: at the pool's 82 °F, the spa's water would read +0.47.
Sample readings. Amounts come from the app's saturation index and dosing math as estimates. Re-test after adding chemicals.
Around the stop
Separate where it matters. Together where it should be.
History, checklists, repairs and equipment follow the body of water. The stop, the route and your plan stay with the property.
One stop for both.
Choose which water features a route visit covers. One visit can cover the pool and the spa, so they stay one stop on the route.
A checklist for the spa.
Attach a checklist to one body of water, and let it replace your standard service checklist there.
Repairs on the right water.
A work order lists the water features it covers, so a spa heater job can name just the spa.
Found a hot tub? Add it on site.
A tech allowed to edit properties can add a body of water from the phone, with its type, gallons, surface and water type.

01
What is pool and spa service software?
Route and service software that treats each body of water at a property as its own record, instead of treating the address as one pool. A property can hold a pool, a spa, a hot tub, a fountain or a pond, each with its own gallons, equipment, readings and chemical history. It matters because a tech at a house with a pool and a spa is doing two chemistry jobs at one stop.
02
Does Pool Runs handle a property with both a pool and a spa?
Yes. Add as many bodies of water to a property as it has. Each gets a name, a type, its gallons, its surface and water type, and notes. On the tech's phone the stop shows a tab for each one, and readings, chemicals added and parts used are saved to the one selected.
03
Do I pay more for a property that has a spa as well as a pool?
No. Pool Runs counts properties, not bodies of water, and a pool and a spa at the same address are one property. Pricing is from $45/month with 50 properties included.
04
Is the spa dosed off its own gallons?
Yes. The saturation index calculator opens on the body of water you're working on, with its gallons and its latest readings, and works out suggested amounts for that volume. They're estimates, so re-test after adding chemicals.
05
Does a pool and spa at one address become two stops?
No. When you set up the route visit you choose which water features it covers, so one visit can cover the pool and the spa and the tech gets one stop with a tab for each. A work order can name just the spa when only the spa needs a repair.
06
What if I'm moving from software that tracks one pool per address?
Bring your customers over from a CSV, and each property arrives with one pool. Add the spa afterwards as its own body of water, from the office or the tech's phone, with its name, type and gallons. Get the gallons roughly right, because that's what the dose math reads.
