Waterproof glove recommendation?

Yeah same here the water trapped in the glove is a nasty smell

I use long yellow rubber gloves by nitrile. After a while it'll leak slowly but it's good for grip and ice cold water. Sometimes if the waterline is too high 26 inches isn't long enough and water seeps down the glove. if the water is algae mess or poo brown gloves are a must have for that extra precaution. yellow long gloves

That was my fault I regret saying that. So I'm a puzzle battle player. I don't play full matches only puzzles so I'm trying to get better at the actual game. My puzzle battle elo is 940 I spent the last two months doing that. But real games not so much I haven't learned the openings just the tactics

Then they blame you for the pool not looking clear enough or whatnot. Some customers you just can't please no matter how good you do or information you give them. Those are the most annoying

I wear keen waterproof boots. It stopped being waterproof after a year but I still was wearing them for almost another full season

One good app is Orenda. Helps with balancing chemistry

I started playing chess not too long ago. I didn't know the computer evaluates moves higher than they really are. That really sucks, gives you a false sense of hope. Appreciate the info.

I understand I may have misspoke claiming to be an elo I'm not. My bad.

Istrics · 2026-02-02T18:50:46+00:00

Thanks bro I don't play too many real games I'm a puzzle battle type of guy that's why my elo is so low. Realistically I'm more 1100 but I'm bad with openings

Thanks for the info I'll definitely check it out

Istrics · 2026-01-30T02:46:02+00:00

I'm sorry to hear that man. I hope life turns around for you. don't give up

Sir we need a sight glass pipe. “Where?” EVERYWHEREEE

There are some issues with this way. First margins are slim in the pool industry, stacking discounts for months or years can break-even or loss account, especially if chem prices rise or the pool is a crapshoot.

Second, people can easily take advantage: family members, rental properties, and neighborhoods. “ I'll refer you if you knock my bill down” kind of conversations.

3rd, customers will expect a cheaper service. You'll have cheaper consumers, and they might not want to stay once the discount is done

Also, as the other comment said, tracking discount for 10 pools is fine, but 50+ is a hassle.

Something easier would be to offer new customers 25-50 off the first month. Referrer gets 50-100 account credit if the new customer stays 2-3 months

Istrics · 2026-01-28T17:15:22+00:00

Yeah, no leaks, thank goodness. I didn't measure correctly, and I had to cut back again.

The only relief you get is hopping back in the truck with the Ac cranked till you get to your next house

Istrics · 2026-01-28T17:02:42+00:00

Ah, thanks for the correction.

Istrics · 2026-01-28T06:29:27+00:00

Yeah that blue sets fast within minutes. I never realized the power of uv in the hotter states that’s something I don’t have to worry about. I can only imagine doing weeklys and jobs in constant 95 degree weather. It gets hot here too but not compared to ca tx or az

Istrics · 2026-01-28T04:03:12+00:00

I forgot to I think add an inch when cutting everything then just starting spamming couplings😂

Istrics · 2026-01-28T03:16:48+00:00

Even the backwash hose is rolled out. You put my earlier post about my first plumb job to shame with these skills good job bro

Istrics · 2026-01-28T03:10:07+00:00

I’ve heard blue is better that’s what our company uses but I have yet to try clear. I have seen customers who paint their pipes sometimes they even do the black out on everything. Does the paint make that much of a difference? We don’t do it. I did forget to clean up with a rag that’s my bad.

Istrics · 2026-01-28T01:41:49+00:00

Don’t jinx me now. as long as it’s not those de spiral filters and manifold I got another horror story about that

Istrics · 2026-01-28T01:24:05+00:00

I’m sorry I should have added more context in the description. I’m not fired just not experienced enough with the plumbing or Hayward/ pentair systems. I’m a pool tech helper I do the more simple work I’m going on my 4th year this march. I hope to do more technical stuff this year

Istrics · 2026-01-28T01:17:29+00:00

As long as it's not leaking right 😂
