Skimmer Review 2026
Skimmer
Pool service software built around routes, chemicals, and service photos
Skimmer does pool routes better than anything else: chemicals, photos, service reports, and billing per pool rather than per tech. It is deliberately narrow — pool and spa care only — so multi-trade operations need a generalist instead.
