    we ONLY text or email. yes answering the phone is essential but we always require on site meet and greets and everything from there is either a bid online email or text always need carbon or black and white record . 99.9% is all text email to fall back on. I dont know how many conversations ive had with customers and its almost like they never listened to me. even via text ive had the same conversation 4 5 times no exhaggeration with the same customer on an expensive filter install and pad replumb and if I didnt have that text to screenshot it would been bad. also the 4 5 pools next to each other is a pipe dream. the main thing to set you apart here is be price right . pre covid we were 25 a week now most pools average2-300 per month. some of his ideals are definitely lets say outdated. also a pool route software like skimmer or pay the pool man is essential with route optimzation , invoicing and accounting integrated into one no need anymore for quickbooks and 3 other apps to run your business. And I disagree with having to be available on the weekends or 9am on a sunday. give me a break. we communicate on sign up our hours and set expectation. there is no pool emergency it can always always wait till Monday . shut down power cut your water source and it will all be fine. you set yourself up for burn out and extra un needed stress. we have all our business hours posted and a voicemail on our phone. Michelle if you have a 1,000 iphone you should prob learn to use it and send it via text . simple :)

      The low voltage communication wire is connected through the end of the pump. Depending upon what version of the pump you have, access to that area of the pump requires you to remove the top digital display (very easy, two screws) and then remove a safety cover. Once you remove the safety cover you will see the area to wire the communication cable.

    Ehh. You stated the “ripple effect” which has actually turned into a tsunami would go well into next year. Then you stated maybe September or will get back to normal. Which one is it? We hope you do have the raw material you stated at end of the video. Pool guys flying blind and over pouring? It may happen but not with the majority of pool pros. We’re at the property weekly so we know what we pour and how long it’s lasting. That was a weak point. Also no, I am not telling my client they only deserve so much chlorine.

    • @PoolProPodcast

      Thanks for taking the time to comment and to watch the episode. The reference to early next year is the overall industry and the reference to September was Hasa specifically. It is great you are dosing chemicals correctly for your customers. There are some pool pros out there that are flying blind and we hope to help those folks.

      We're seeing smaller more frequent shipments arriving. One issue is the shortage of shells & bottles to refill due to hoarding. Many warehouses are selling on an even exchange basis only. Best thing is to call ahead to your local branches. Some of the issues fall on distribution's shoulders. I've seen pallets of tabs at Costco & Walmart, while our distributors are out. Why? That's the next big question that needs answering.

      The opposite is true. It makes a qualified pool tech all the more essential.
