Why Owner-Operated Wins

Large pool service companies have a lot of overhead — managers, dispatchers, office staff, fleet vehicles — all of which get baked into your monthly bill. They may send a different technician to your pool every week, someone who doesn't know your equipment, your water history, or your preferences.

With Jerico's Pools, you get the owner at every single visit. I know your pool inside and out — your equipment model numbers, your water chemistry trends, and exactly what your pool needs each week. That consistency leads to better results, fewer problems, and lower long-term costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Jerico's Pools different from ABC Pools?

Jerico's Pools is owner-operated, meaning the CPO-certified owner personally services your pool every visit. Unlike corporate pool companies that rotate technicians, you get the same experienced professional every week who knows your pool's specific needs.

Is owner-operated pool service more expensive?

No. Our Standard plan starts at $200/month with ALL chemicals included. Many corporate companies charge a lower base rate but add fees for chemicals, shock treatments, and other "extras" that increase the real cost.

What areas do you serve compared to ABC Pools?

We serve 21+ communities across North Texas including Rhome, Keller, Southlake, Colleyville, Haslet, Roanoke, Argyle, and more. Our focused service area means faster response times and better local knowledge.

The Real Differences Between Jerico's Pools and ABC Pools

ABC Pools operates in the DFW area. When comparing local providers, the key differentiators are certification level, chemical inclusion policy, and whether the owner or an employee services your pool.

Local pool companies vary widely in quality. The key differentiators to evaluate are: certification level (CPO vs. none), chemical policy (included vs. extra), contract requirements, and whether the owner is actually involved in day-to-day service.

At Jerico's Pools, the model is fundamentally different: I am the owner and I am the technician. There is no middle management, no franchise fee, no corporate overhead. Every dollar you pay goes directly toward the chemicals in your pool, the expertise of a CPO-certified professional, and the time and attention your pool deserves.

Common Questions When Comparing Pool Companies

Should I choose a franchise or an independent pool company?+
Independent, owner-operated companies typically offer more personal service, lower overhead costs, and direct accountability. Franchise companies offer brand recognition but charge franchise fees that increase your price. The key question is: who will actually be at your pool each week?
Why does CPO certification matter?+
CPO (Certified Pool Operator) certification requires passing a comprehensive exam covering water chemistry, equipment operation, and health compliance. Most pool technicians at franchise companies don’t have this certification. It’s the difference between someone who can skim and vacuum vs. someone who truly understands your pool’s chemistry and equipment.
Are chemicals really included at Jerico’s Pools?+
Yes — all chemicals are included in the $200/month price. Many competitors advertise a lower base price but charge $50-100+ monthly for chemicals on top. Always compare total cost, not just the service fee.
What if I’m under contract with another company?+
Many pool service contracts have a 30-day cancellation clause. Check your agreement. When you’re ready to switch, I can usually start within a week and will ensure a seamless transition with no gap in service.
