Why Owner-Operated Wins

When comparing pool services in DFW, the key question isn’t who has the fancier website or the bigger trucks — it’s who’s actually going to be at your pool every week, and what’s their incentive to do great work?

With an employee model, the person at your pool is collecting a paycheck. With an owner-operated model, the person at your pool is building their livelihood and reputation on the quality of every single visit. That difference shows in the attention to detail, the proactive communication, and the willingness to go above and beyond.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Jerico's different from other DFW pool services?

The owner personally services every pool — no employees, no subcontractors. This means CPO-certified expertise at every visit, consistent quality, and direct communication with the person who knows your pool.

Are chemicals included in your price?

Yes. ALL chemicals are included in our monthly rate. Many pool services advertise a low base price but charge extra for chlorine, shock, acid, and specialty chemicals. Our pricing is transparent — what we quote is what you pay.

How quickly can you start service?

Most new customers are set up within 48 hours of the initial assessment. We’ll test your water, inspect your equipment, and have you on a regular weekly schedule fast.

The Real Differences Between Jerico's Pools and Texas Pool Professionals

Texas Pool Professionals operates in the DFW market. "Professional" in pool service should mean CPO certification — the industry's gold standard for water chemistry and equipment knowledge.

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.

“Our last pool guy would send different people every week. Nobody knew our pool. Jerico remembers everything — which filter needs extra attention, when our heater acts up. That consistency is priceless.”

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.
