For a pool service business, a tool is only worth buying if it earns back its cost on the route. Here is how to work out your own numbers for a professional cartridge filter cleaning tool.
The break-even math
Because a pool pro charges for every filter clean, the Halo360's break-even point is a number of cleans, not a calendar date. Plug your own per-clean rate into the payback calculator on the ROI page to see your specific number. Everything after that break-even point is margin.
Where the ongoing return comes from
Speed is the compounding factor. A deeper, faster clean means more filters per day, every day. Less fatigue means you can take on more work without burning out. And forged stainless steel construction means you are not replacing a cracked plastic tool every season.
- Faster cleans, so more billable stops per day
- Lower water use, a real cost in many regions
- Durable build, so no repeat replacement cost
- Less physical strain, so a longer, healthier work day
Use the Halo360 payback calculator to plug in your own filter volume and rate and see your specific payback.
