Podcast Episode 1500 and My History in the Industry

The pool service industry has evolved over the years, and this current pool pros has the most resources at their disposal. I started before cell phones were invented and way before YouTube. If you didn’t know how to do something, you learned quickly. 


There are many reasons pool service is a legit business and a great one to get into. The fact that you set your hours and are essentially your boss is probably the biggest reason people start a pool service business. Second is the flexible hours you can put into the industry. You can work as much or as little as you like. 

That brings me to the scalability of pool service. You can be a single poler with 80 accounts and make a good living out there just running a small route and putting in 30-40 hours per week. Or you can bring on an employee or maybe 2-to 3, get 300 accounts, and start to grow a more extensive service company. You can get as big as you want or stay small and use that income to invest in future passive income sources. It is one of the only businesses out there with so many options.

Can I Use Clorox Bleach in my Pool?

Image
Regular Unscented Bleach I started doing pool service when I was 16 years old back in 1988. I took a break from the industry and did some Real Estate Investing and ran a small business for awhile. But I always loved working outdoors and so I decided to do pool service again. So I have about 15 years of practical experience in the field. My specialty has always been water chemistry as I was formally trained by an experts in the field. So I am well versed in most of the chemicals that are on the market today and I have used and tested a lot of different products. So when you hear those in the industry discourage and even slander anyone who uses bleach in their pool, you may think that it is not a product that you should use. In fact as you read this article you will find that using bleach and only bleach is a safe and smart choice. There is a lot of ignorance surrounding household bleach and the use of bleach in a swimming pool. Here is a video I made that goes in more detail on usin...

Mr. Pen Non-contact Voltage Meter - Don't Get Electrocuted!

Image
One of the biggest issues you will run into with anything connected to an AC power is if that device or equipment is receiving power. In the pool service industry, this often is the case when you find that a pool pump won’t turn on. Or if a pool timer doesn't on, is it receiving power? Also for repairs with so many breakers being unmarked, how do you know you turned off the right breaker. Bottom line, a non-contact detector like the Mr. Pen is an easy way to see if power is going to the equipment/device and the line is active. A non-contact voltage detector is just that. You don’t need to make contact with the line like with a Multimeter. Plus you don’t need to adjust any settings or knobs to get a voltage reading. Simply hold the Mr. Pen over a cord or wire whip and if there is AC power a red light will turn on and an audible beep will come out of the device. A very easy way to tell if power or a current is present.  To order: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B092LFYTG5?&_encoding=UT...
