Draft messages

Murray:
Hi, this is [Owner name] from [Business name]. On our last couple of visits we noticed your pump getting louder, and both the pump and the filter are getting older. We recommend replacing both, and we can put together a quote for you. Want us to send one?

Navarro:
Hi, this is [Owner name] from [Business name]. Your heater tripped out again in April after the igniter was replaced last year. Since it's a gas unit, please leave it off until a licensed gas professional can check it. We recommend having it looked at, and we can help set that up and talk through your options.

Mukherjee:
Hi, this is [Owner name] from [Business name]. Your filter pressure keeps climbing even after we backwash, and the filter is one of the older pieces of equipment at your pool. We recommend replacing it. Your pump and salt cell have also reached the age where we recommend replacing them. We can send a quote that covers all three.

Questions for you

  • Nash: Can you check the equipment labels on your next visit for install dates?
  • Confirm any local permit or licensing rules for heater and pump replacement before sending quotes.

What it does

Reads your customer equipment notes, works out how old each pump, heater, filter, and other piece of gear is, and flags the ones getting old or showing trouble. Gives you a prioritized list per customer and a short, ready-to-send heads-up message for each flagged customer.

Use it when: Use when a pool service owner wants to check customer equipment records and flag aging pumps, heaters, filters, and other gear that may need replacing, such as "which customers have old pumps," "equipment age alerts," "who is due for a new heater," or "make a replacement list."
