A few changes at Dragoo Sevices
As most of you know I have been building my business over the last 12 years
and many of you have been with me through the years.
During that time period I never took a vacation and I never took holidays off.
Now that all of my routes have reached capacity I want to inform you of a few changes.
For most of you my service is basically a flat rate of $200 per month for weekly service with chemicals included.
That breaks down to $50 per visit but since five months out of the year have an extra week
in them I give you that cleaning for free in exchange for me now taking major holidays off.
If a major holiday falls on your service day and you are having a party just let me know and
I will make arrangements to take care of you, otherwise I will be taking the day off to enjoy the holiday myself.
Also after 12 years with no vacations, I will now take one week off twice per year to enjoy some much needed time off
For you this just means I will miss two visits per year for each client.
I will inform you all with an email in advance so you know what week I will be on vacation.
Thank you all for staying with me through the years and helping me reach the maximum amount of pools I can provide service for each month on my own.
I sincerely appreciate the fact that most of my clients have been acquired on the recommendation of the clients that I already service.
That means a great deal to me.
I hope to continue servicing all of you for many years.

Info for clients on chlorine shortage
As I may have told some of you already last August the Biolab Lake Charles facility in Louisiana erupted into flames after Hurricane Laura hit.
This led to the shutdown of one of the major chlorine suppliers until the spring 2022,leaving only two current manufacturers of chlorine tablets in the U.S.: Occidental Petroleum and Clearon Corporation.
Retail prices could skyrocket this summer. My dealer cost on chlorine has doubled, affecting my business as chemical costs are included with my service.
Here is a link that CNN story that was posted yesterday
I will continue to add chlorine as long as it is available but if the supply line runs dry I will not be able to keep out the algae that will come with the summer heat.
I can use up to 10 tabs a pool per week during the summer months.
I am sending this info to you so you are aware of this now.
If you want to be sure your pool makes it through the summer I suggest buying at least 100 pounds of 3 inch chlorine tabs to keep on site.
