Wall Street Journal Responds To "Trashing Pools" - Mentions APSP

Below is the Wall Street Journal editor response to the letter I sent regarding the article they posted titled "Taking a Bath On Your Pool".

Since writing my reply I have spoken to the APSP and determined the data they referenced was supplied by PK Data. If this is the data being provided we should seek to verify that the data is accurate. But the data is only part of the issue. The article was written to be a "ROI" article, yet makes statements l… Continue

The Ugly Truth About this Pool Service Business

As if you don't have enough to worry about already, with rising costs, a shrinking economy, licensing stings, and unwarranted complaints at the BBB… now you've got a marketing guy talking about "the ugly truth" of the pool service business.

First, to put things in perspective let's think about another "service" industry that most all of us can re

Vitamin C removes metal stains

Today I had a customer tell me that a Vitamin C placed on an iron stain in a plaster pool will loosen the stain enough that it can easily be brushed away in 20 minutes. I would guess that it is the Ascorbic Acid that is key. Has anyone tried this themselves? How did it work for you?

There is a new way to remove metals from pool water!

There is now a way to permanently remove metals from water so that pools owners and service providers will no longer have to fight with metals in the water. This new product actually binds the metals out of the water for permanent removal. Therefore, the vicious cycle of adding more and more chemicals to keep the stains off the pool surfaces can be broken.

Sometimes the Small Stuff is the Best Stuff

As I write this, I am at my daughter's house in Austin, Texas, and can see from where I sit one of my favorite pictures, a photo of my daughter as a lively child of about ten, floating on a raft in our home swimming pool with my Mom protectively by her side in the pool, enjoying their happy swim together. Those small moments are the kind of memories we make in our business, and we can all take pride in creating thousands of happy family memories all over the world with our work.

The swimming pool industry is a wonderful place to have a career!

Our products are healthful, safe, fun, sexy, beautiful, stress relieving, entertaining, and even therapeutic.

We all have so much in common and could all benefit from the ability to communicate with each other. In fact we would be "wise" to do just that.

So many times our egos, pride, and self focus prevent us from the benefit of working together. This site is dedicated to the cause of bringing us together.

Together we can learn, share, and help each other. Those with the greatest skills can support those who need help.

When the "aquatics industry" itself is in need, a central network can be a way to facilitate communication. We all benefit when we work together.

New product releases, answers to technological questions, training for different skills, will all be available here. It also will be a place to display the things that your are proud to share. Your designs, videos about your company or product will all be here for others to see, enjoy, and learn.

As time passes this site will grow, develop, and become better... but for now, the most important part that can be added is you.
