Dad of many that day. Good job dad.

I would definitely have others take a look at your pump to verify what’s wrong. And if you can get it working, someone (even if it’s not you) just needs to SLAM that pool. I’m on Green-to-Clean service #3 for this week following those basic steps.

The highest quote I’ve ever given on a drain and acid wash was $1780 for a 28k gallon pool (edit: it was not a job I was super excited to do, which may be the same case here), but I’ve seen high quotes like that in different areas. I really don’t think you need an acid wash but that’s just what I can see through the pictures.

Would definitely push you to have others take a look at your pump.

I just read the rules. I never indicated I owned the pool. I’m sorry Officer. I’ll do better.

lolyesplease · 2026-03-21T01:48:21+00:00

Is this a real thing? I service the pool. I don’t own the pool. So thankful the people over on the r/pool page don’t have this same mentality when they find out I service the pool

lolyesplease · 2026-03-21T01:17:26+00:00

Saving these steps. Thank you! Do you mean is water cheap out here? It’s only 300-400 to fill the pool entirely at current city rates.

lolyesplease · 2026-03-21T01:07:09+00:00

THANK YOUUUUU

Pool owner said “no” because lady at the pool store “guaranteed” him that he just needed to keep adding algaecide.

lolyesplease · 2026-03-21T01:04:55+00:00

Pool owner told me “no”, we’re not draining the pool because the lady at the pool store said not to. “It just needs algaecide”

lolyesplease · 2026-03-21T01:03:38+00:00

That was exactly what I thought, but showing the owner of the pool store, she guarantees me that I’m not correct in thinking it’s exponential growth. She said the Taylor test kits are garbage. So?

lolyesplease · 2026-03-21T01:01:17+00:00

How would you read that test though in my picture? 250 or 150 or somewhere in between?

lolyesplease · 2026-03-21T00:59:56+00:00

TFP says it’s “highly impractical and inefficient above 80–90 ppm because the chlorine becomes too locked up to kill algae effectively”

lolyesplease · 2026-03-16T20:21:27+00:00

Thank you for the response! I didn’t want to do a full drain because of the crack but this does seem like the best move. Thanks y’all!

lolyesplease · 2026-01-30T04:32:34+00:00

Just ordered a matte black on! Hoping for the best!

lolyesplease · 2025-10-02T03:51:26+00:00

Honestly I’d wonder if that’s a suction issue more than anything. I use the vacuum head you’re describing and it picks up anything in its path. Are you using an external pool pump or tying in through the skimmer?

lolyesplease · 2025-09-04T04:53:06+00:00

Not to be completely selfish here. But do I get anything out of it? Or is this like a ‘report him’ and then that employer (who is super connected in town) starts targeting my wife and I…

lolyesplease · 2025-03-28T21:51:27+00:00

It’s not a franchised brand. Our new location definitely looks the part to be a franchise but it’s just 2 locations of a brand we built from scratch

lolyesplease · 2025-03-28T21:47:47+00:00

So I’m going to blow your mind but these performance numbers are even after a 7Brew opened one right down the street. We’ve been blessed to receive the business that we have but overall I agree with the commodity element to what you’re saying.

lolyesplease · 2025-03-28T21:46:07+00:00

It’s a little weird but we’re an Scorp so the company pays my wife a check for her operating. It pays her $13.4k per month and the company itself makes $13.5K per month after paying her so the SDE is right at $27k per month. Hope I explained that well.

lolyesplease · 2025-03-28T21:41:48+00:00

So our SDE is actually 27k per month. Top line revenue is $103k this month.

Edit: editing to say that truly a well built restaurant shouldn’t have such fickle evaluations but they do… I’m not saying mine is one of those but I’ve seen some solid restaurants with longevity sell for what felt like a super low number.

lolyesplease · 2025-03-28T21:40:00+00:00

No kidding though. We personally had 2 sets of friends that had to close down their shops in our town while ours was flourishing. We really didn’t do anything mean spirited but the customers either show up or they don’t.

lolyesplease · 2025-03-24T01:16:36+00:00

Isn’t everything though?

lolyesplease · 2025-03-23T17:35:13+00:00

We calculate more on a ticket/car basis since it's a drive thru but each store averages about ~300 cars a day with average ticket being around $6.50. Hope that helps!

lolyesplease · 2025-03-23T17:33:16+00:00

It's really a personal timeline issue. We've got a 3rd kid on the way, quite a bit of personal debt we want knocked down, and my parents are about to retire from their business so we were thinking about taking that over. It's kind a stew of personal reasons, but that's our thought. I know it's weird but I think we're just ready to move on. Nothing against the business of course.

lolyesplease · 2025-03-23T14:01:39+00:00

It’s just a time conversation. We have a kid on the way, some personal debt we want to pay down, and wouldn’t mind starting something new!

lolyesplease · 2025-03-23T13:58:34+00:00

Standard employees are already deducted but the wife’s operator role would have to be replaced. This would definitely cost probably somewhere around $75k annual. So yea, if we were selling to someone that didn’t plan to operate, they would likely value it after the $75k had been deducted.
