Pool Service Technician Job Description

Pool service technicians focus on making sure that pools are safe to use by treating and maintaining the water. One of a pool service technician’s main responsibilities is to test the pH of pool water. When the water’s pH levels are off, it’s the technician’s job to treat it with chemicals, such as chlorine. In this way, a pool service technician uses their specialized knowledge and skillset to ensure that both residential and commercial pools are safe for continued use. Pool service technicians also help with the maintenance of the pool’s structural elements. For example, if there’s a crack or leak in a pool, it will be the pool service technician’s job to repair it.

Qualifying for this role doesn’t usually require any special training. But previous experience as a pool technician is definitely a plus.
