Chemical billing model

Definition

Whether chlorine and acid are inside the monthly fee or billed on top of it each visit.

Why It Matters

Chems-included routes look like higher revenue per stop and carry the chlorine market inside the margin, so a price spike lands on the buyer, not the customer. Billed-separately routes read thinner on paper and are steadier underneath. Read a sample of actual invoices, not the rate card, because mixed books are common and a seller will quote whichever half reads better.
