Why Owner-Operated Wins

Blue Science is well known for pool remodeling and construction — and if you need a major pool renovation, they’re worth considering. But for weekly maintenance, companies that focus primarily on construction often treat service as a secondary revenue stream.

The result? Your weekly maintenance may not get the attention it deserves because the company’s best people and resources are focused on their big construction projects. At Jerico’s Pools, weekly pool maintenance IS our primary focus. Every visit gets the full attention of a CPO-certified professional.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Blue Science good for pool maintenance?

Blue Science is primarily known for pool remodeling and construction. While they offer maintenance services, their core focus is renovation projects. If weekly pool maintenance is what you need, a dedicated maintenance provider like Jerico's Pools may offer more consistent, attentive service.

Can you handle pool remodeling too?

We focus on what we do best — weekly maintenance, equipment repair, and pool care. For major remodeling projects, we can provide honest referrals. Our expertise is keeping your pool in perfect condition week after week.

What's included in your weekly service vs Blue Science?

Our plans include ALL chemicals, weekly visits with full chemical balancing, equipment monitoring, and a detailed post-visit report. Many remodeling-focused companies charge extra for chemicals and don't provide the same level of weekly reporting.

The Real Differences Between Jerico's Pools and Blue Science

Blue Science offers pool services in DFW. The pool industry has a high turnover rate for technicians, which means your service quality depends heavily on the current employee on your route.

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.
