Chemical costs continue to rise, and from my conversations with many pool pros, they are still relying on gut feel, "included" pricing, or inconsistent dosing habits that eat into profit margins.
To help you build a repeatable, trackable, and profitable chemical strategy, I’m hosting our next LIVE workshop on this topic. I’m going to cover how chemical management isn't just about dosing—it's about protecting your margins while maintaining service quality, using Skimmer's tools and reporting to create a chemical strategy that scales with your business.
What you'll learn:
- Chemical pricing models that work and hold up as costs continue to rise
- How to define clear service inclusions, exclusions and handling chemical overages
- Using Skimmer reporting insights to identify high-cost pools and service outliers
- How to have data-driven pricing conversations with your customers
- How tools like Orenda support consistency in the field without added complexity

This session is perfect for owners and teams who are:
- Reassessing "chemicals included" pricing models
- Transitioning to hybrid or plus-chem approaches
- Facing margin pressure from rising chemical costs
- Looking for data to support confident pricing decisions
You’ll see real-world scenarios, learn where chemical strategies and reporting typically break down, and leave with a clearer framework for using data to support confident pricing and defensible billing in your business.
💡BONUS INDUSTRY INSIGHT💡
One of the clearest takeaways from Skimmer’s 2026 State of Pool Service Report is that chemical costs remain one of the most persistent pressure points for pool service businesses, right alongside labor and broader economic factors.
What’s changed since the 2025 report findings is how operators are responding. The data show a clear shift away from fully “chemicals included” pricing toward hybrid and full-plus-chems models, supported by tighter tracking and more disciplined reporting. In other words, many of your peers aren’t guessing anymore; they’re using data to understand cost-to-serve, identify outliers, and make pricing decisions they can confidently explain to customers.
That’s why this is such an important time to talk about chemical strategy. The industry isn’t panicking, it’s maturing. Pool pros are getting more intentional about how chemicals fit into their pricing models, their reporting, and their long-term margins.
