Two free apps, about fifteen minutes, zero cost. This is exactly what to do between applying and your paid onsite session — no pool experience needed, ever.
Slack is a workplace messaging app — think group texting, organized into rooms called channels. It's how you'll message Mike, send photos of the pool, and log your visits.
When we talk (or in your application), confirm which email should get the Slack invite — the one you applied with, or a different one.
You'll get a private onboarding channel where you can send photos, ask questions, and post your Pooli practice screenshot. Message Mike any time you get stuck.
Pooli is a free app residential pool owners use to record water-test results and chemical treatments. It's the same logging flow you'll use at our pool — so we practice it before you're onsite.

Complete the Slack + Pooli steps and you're invited to a paid, onsite onboarding session with Mike, the owner — we'll do the job together at the property: digital water testing, brushing and vacuuming, filter care, the acrylic window, and the whole visit-logging flow (using Pooli Pro onsite).
Digital water testing and balancing, robot vacuums, filter care, acrylic-window care, and how to work around guests courteously — full training, zero experience required.
3+ consistent visits a week at $25/hr, a business Amex for supplies once you're proven, optional owner-funded CPO certification — and a possible seat in a future pool-care business.
Already applied? Your Slack invite will arrive by email — post your Pooli screenshot in the onboarding channel.
