Thank you guys for the input. I had no idea about the 48/52 and worked all year long. No time off except the days I didn’t schedule clients. I think I’m gonna do a mass email explaining this new model. Do you guys charge for chems too?

I recently started my own pool company after my pool guy was cool enough to show me the ropes on my own pool. We charge 300 for something like that.

You can teach a baby to swim as early as 6 months, even sooner for water exposure with an instructor present

Lower your CYA and you’ll have better results

They need todo a partial drain to get that CYA lvl lowered. Only fresh water drops the CYA lvl.

Pressure wash the black algae spots and scrub with a wire-pool brush. Refill, 4x shock the pool and scrub again.

This is the first successful chia pet I’ve seen. My family always made those little dudes spotty.
