4.3
Pool-focused expertise far beyond a standard home inspection.
Home inspectors provide a helpful overview, but PoolFax-certified inspectors are trained to decode every component, risk, and upgrade pathway specific to aquatic environments.
| Focus area | Traditional home inspector | PoolFax inspector |
|---|---|---|
| Training & certification | General home systems curriculum; pools noted at a surface level. | PoolFax Academy modules on hydraulics, chemistry, automation, structural materials, plus annual recertification. |
| Equipment recognition | Identifies pump or heater presence, often without model or age verification. | Catalogues model numbers, service life, and integration points for pumps, automation hubs, sanitation, and lighting. |
| Report depth | Brief notes appended to a general home report; no ongoing care roadmap. | Generates a structured PoolSmart™ report with prioritized actions, maintenance cadence, and value framing. |
| Quotation readiness | Refers to third parties for estimates; no validation process. | Certified PoolFax professionals produce scoped, reliable quotes that align with inspection findings. |
| Ongoing support | Inspection concludes at report delivery. | Subscribers receive seasonal check-ins, chemistry alerts, and warranty documentation updates. |
