If you’re just starting out on your pool route—or even just curious what it takes to clean a pool right—this episode is for you. I break down the basic tools I’d never leave home without: the brush, the net, the pole, the vacuum head, and a reliable test kit. I’ll share my own starter setup from when I first began, and a few must-have extras that make your job faster and easier. No fluff, just the essentials you’ll actually use. If you’re new and overwhelmed by gear choices, this is your jumpstart guide to getting route-ready.
