Podcasts about Hayward

One day a pool product feels like the future. The next day the app is gone, support is gone, and what you paid for becomes a paperweight floating in the deep end. We dig into the real-world side of pool industry acquisitions and “disappearing” brands, including what happens when big companies buy promising pool technology and the execution doesn't match the hype.We walk through Hayward's Fin smart pool monitor and why the marketing and user experience created problems for homeowners and pool service professionals alike. ORP and pH readings can be useful, but confusing “unsafe water” alerts, a recurring subscription, and a hard shutdown of app service can destroy trust fast. From there, we compare Sutro's more complete reagent-based pool water monitoring approach, then zoom in on the practical hurdles that can sink any smart pool monitor: cartridge logistics, calibration time, price point, and the brutal reality of pool seasonality in colder regions.Not every story is a loss. We talk about pool products that simply vanished despite working well, like the Skim Doctor 2.0, and how solar skimmers like Solar Breeze evolved into Ariel and related models while facing heavy competition. Then we get into acquisitions that reshaped the market, including the CMP salt cell system being effectively discontinued, versus buyouts that preserve goodwill, like Pentair keeping Pleatco alive and Fluidra leaving Taylor test kits largely intact.If you've ever wondered which pool brands survive, why great products get killed, and what that means for your pool route or your backyard, this conversation is for you. Subscribe, share the episode with a pool pro friend, and leave a review with the smartest pool product you've ever used.We break down pool industry buyouts and product failures that leave pool owners and pool pros stuck with discontinued gear and dead apps. We also highlight the acquisitions that keep brands intact and protect customer trust.  • Hayward's Fin smart monitor, ORP confusion, subscription pain, and a shutdown that strands users  • Why smart pool monitors still struggle to replace proper water testing  • Sutro's stronger readings with reagent cartridges, calibration time, and seasonal subscription problems  • The Crystal Water Monitor as a more robust evolution of the Fin concept  • Skim Doctor 2.0 as a rare skimmer add-on that worked but disappeared  • Solar Breeze, Ariel, Skimbot, and how competition and implementation shape survival  • Fluidra buying CMP salt cells then effectively discontinuing the full system  • Pentair and Pleatco as a model for keeping a brand alive  • Fluidra and Taylor test kits, what changes and what stays the same  Learn more at swimmingpoollearning.com.  If you're interested in the coaching program that I offer, you can learn more at PoolGuyCoaching.com.Send us Fan MailSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors! HASA  REWARDS Apphttps://hasa.com/hasa-appThe Bottom Feeder.

ICE agents infiltrated churches, activist meetings, libraries, and community organizations in Minnesota as part of what has been dubbed Operation Puppet Master. In this episode of Axis Live, Matthew D. Taylor and Rev. Susie Hayward discuss what newly disclosed documents reveal about the government's surveillance of protesters—and what it means for religious freedom, constitutional rights, and the future of democracy. They also examine the growing anti-Muslim campaign targeting Dearborn, Michigan, including a planned "Crusader March" backed by MAGA activists, and explore how Christian nationalism is fueling new forms of religious exclusion. Finally, Taylor and Hayward discuss the dismantling of the U.S. Institute of Peace, the loss of religious expertise within American foreign policy, and what the current crisis tells us about the health of American democracy—and where hope for a democratic revival might come from.

2026 is shaping up like a split-screen year for the pool industry: pool construction and remodeling cool off under higher interest rates, while the pool service business stays surprisingly steady because repairs and replacements don't wait for “better timing.” I walk through what I'm seeing across the market and why some manufacturers are feeling real pressure even when service pros are still busy in the field.We dig into how a soft building market creates a chain reaction: fewer new projects means fewer equipment orders, which leads to overstocked distributors and retail stores, and that eventually shows up in manufacturer numbers for major pool equipment brands. I also talk about the quieter forces that steer customer buying, like brand recognition from automatic pool cleaners and how product changes can ripple into pumps, filters, and other upgrades down the road.Then we get practical for pool service operators. Inflation, fuel, and chemical costs keep climbing, and while we can often pass costs on, there's a real price ceiling where customers push back or start shopping for discounted service. I share ways to protect profit without relying only on rate hikes, including trimming business “fat,” running tighter operations, and thinking about vehicles, debt, and efficiency like a larger company would.If you want more straight talk on pool industry trends and how to stay profitable in 2026 and beyond, subscribe, share this with a pool pro friend, and leave a review so more service techs can find the show.2026 brings a mixed picture for the pool industry: new pool construction slows under higher interest rates while pool service demand stays steady. I break down what manufacturer sales trends, retail overstock, and inflation mean for your pricing and your profit heading into 2027.• higher interest rates cooling pool building and remodeling budgets  • why manufacturers feel pain when distributors and retailers are overstocked  • how pool service techs drive equipment sales at the point of failure  • Fluidra, Hayward, and Pentair brand dynamics and the role of cleaners as a lead-in product  • post-COVID build numbers returning toward pre-COVID levels and why service remains insulated  • inflation, fuel, and chemical costs and how far price increases can realistically go  • practical cost cutting ideas to protect margin without lowering service quality  • treating a service company like a lean corporation instead of a household extension  If you're looking for other podcasts, you can find this on my website, smallingfullearning.com.

What’s the biggest competitor to movie theaters today? It’s not streaming — it’s the little screen in everyone’s hand. Clara and Jon Gelatt, co-owners of La Crosse’s historic Rivoli Theatre, in studio to help us take a break from politics on primary day and chat about our favorite bad movies — including a 1980s Wisconsin-based horror flick playing Friday at the Riv — the need to keep physical media, plus kids and screen addiction. In this episode: Screen Time Battles: Both being parents, we talk navigating kids on phones, attention span fatigue, and the house rule against "dual screening." Wisconsin B-Movie Horror: Jon breaks down his obsession with Blood Hook (1985) — a cult slasher about a killer fisherman shot in Hayward, WI — playing at 10 p.m. Friday, plus the upcoming screening of the regional horror film Dead Media with the director stopping at the Rivoli. Our Favorite Good-Bad Movies: Rick defends Vin Diesel’s sci-fi epic The Chronicles of Riddick, while Clara makes the case for the sheer chaos of Jurassic World Dominion. Taste of the Movies & Local Events: How pairing catered meals with films (and hosting community screenings like the International Owl Center's documentary) fills the theater. The Death of Digital Ownership: Why digital platforms deleting purchased movies help inspire the Rivoli’s new second-floor Video Rental Closet and monthly "Video Lounge" happy hours. Theater Perks: Late-night screenings, Mario Kart on the big screen, and community event programming.

In this special episode, Jen and Cam talk with Jackie and Jenna from Stop, Who Does That?! about the tragic and frustrating murder of Joy Hayward. After checking into a hotel room following an argument with her boyfriend, Joy Hayward was found strangled in her bathroom bathtub. What seemed like an isolated yet horrifying crime took a dramatic turn when DNA evidence linked her killer to a nearby attempted sexual assault just months later. Despite composite sketches, a matching DNA profile, and a $25,000 reward, Joy's killer remains unidentified and at large. Make sure you subscribe to Jenna and Jackie's podcast Stop, Who Does That?!

What does democratic socialism look like when you're the one responsible for balancing the budget? Hayward Councilmember George Syrop, one of two elected members of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) in the East Bay, joins Steve Tavares and Trishala Vinnakota for a wide-ranging conversation on governing, progressive politics, and the growing influence of billionaires in American democracy. "As an elected official, I feel like I am managing the crumbs of a collapsing and failing state," Syrop says, as he argues that decades of disinvestment have left local governments struggling to provide basic services. The discussion explores the future of Hayward's progressive movement, the city's unexpected $30 million budget deficit last year, strategies for strengthening economic development, long-awaited improvements to the much-maligned Hayward Loop, and Syrop's leadership in advancing the city's Israel divestment resolution. The conversation also turns to the high-stakes CA-4 special election, where Syrop argues frontrunner Aisha Wahab must define the race on her own terms as millions of dollars in outside spending, including  massive AIPAC support for Melissa Hernandez down the stretch.

 Edwardian England? Yes, please!  Listen in as Chelsea Bobulski and I chat about her book, Deal with a Debutante. Is it a marriage of convenience... or not? note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you.  I don't think there are enough Edwardian novels out there, so when I heard this one wasn't Regency but Edwardian... EEEP! Add to that an American heiress and an Earl?  Double eeep! A Deal with a Debutante by Chelsea Bobulski She's running from London's marriage mart. He's running out of time to save his estate. Neither planned on falling in love--but their hearts have other plans. American heiress Calliope Hart is thrust into London's high society against her will, all because her mother is determined to marry her off to an aristocrat. Despite being named "the debutante of the season" back in New York, Calliope wants nothing more than to avoid becoming another pawn in the social game. Edward Chase, the Earl of Hayward, is on the brink of financial ruin. To save his estate, he must marry, and Calliope Hart is his last hope. When he boldly declares his intentions, she swiftly rejects him, making it clear she has no interest in marrying for convenience. Undeterred, Edward offers a deal: He will escort Calliope to all the best sights of London that she's been dying to see if she agrees to visit his estate and consider what they could accomplish together. What begins as a business arrangement soon sparks something much more complicated--an undeniable chemistry neither can ignore. But as their hearts begin to soften, both must confront their fears: Can Calliope trust Edward with her heart, and can Edward truly win her love when she's convinced he only wants her fortune?

Award entries are part CV, part pitch, and part confession. Rachel Hayward has spent over a decade helping businesses get all three right. Rachel Hayward, founder of Ask the Chameleon, speaks to Debbie Gilbert about starting her business, helping her clients successfully win grants, tenders, and awards, and how she has become a multi-award winner herself. Winner of the Best Solopreneur Award at the inaugural Best SME Awards, Rachel explains how redundancy from the charity sector led her into bid writing, and why she has chosen to stay a solopreneur rather than scale up. She has championed small businesses through the FSB. Rachel also discusses how entering awards allows her to better understand the process. Crucially, she exposes the dangers of relying on AI for entries, and why she believes human judging will always matter more than automated scoring. About Rachel Rachel Hayward is Managing Director of Ask the Chameleon Ltd, the award-winning bid writing and procurement consultancy helping SMEs, charities and social enterprises compete, and win, in markets dominated by much larger organisations. Since 2015 she has secured access to more than £192.4 million through successful bids, frameworks and tenders, including £4.6 million in charitable grants. As a micro business owner herself, Rachel understands what it takes to compete in a bigger game. Her expertise spans public sector procurement, grant funding, strategic bid writing and award submissions, including the King's Awards for Enterprise and Chamber of Commerce Awards. She recently led the Ducks in a Row crowdfunding campaign for Trent Rowing Club, raising £31,140 in memory of her late father, the club's President for over 30 years. Her mission is simple: to prove that size should never limit ambition. With the right strategy, even the smallest organisations can compete - and win – in the biggest games. {2:25} Why Rachel started Ask The Chameleon. {3:54} Where did the name 'Ask the Chameleon' come from? {5:14} How Rachel built her client base. {7:00} A conscious decision to remain a solopreneur. {9:18} Rachel's efforts to support other small businesses. {12:03} How Rachel approaches clients requiring award-entry support. {16:05} Rachel's own awards journey. {19:12} The dangers of using AI for award entries. {22:36} How to make your award entry stand out. {26:55} What's on the agenda for the next few years? {28:35} Rachel's tendering business.   Connect with Debbie at: https://thebusinessawardsshow.co.uk                                         https://bestsmeawards.co.uk/                                        Connect with Rachel:  https://www.askthechameleon.co.uk/ LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/rachelhaywardaskthechameleon/                 https://www.linkedin.com/company/ask-the-chameleon-ltd/ Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/askthechameleon/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/askthechameleon/  

Jason Matthews on 4BC Breakfast spoke with Beau Hayward, founder of the Brendale-based charity Nourish Street, about their massive surge in outreach demand as they provide food, shelter, and volunteer medical care to hundreds of homeless individuals across Moreton Bay and Brisbane CBD. Hayward revealed how severe rental shortages and a $42 million funding cut to emergency housing have forced working families with young children into park tents, while encouraging community support through donations, volunteering, and their weekly Thursday night barbecue at Suttons Beach.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's a milestone episode! Number Eight Hundred. That calls for a celebration. Not only does Ricochet co-founder Peter Robinson join to host, but our dear pal Dr. Jay Bhattacharya is able to take a moment away from running both the NIH and CDC to talk about the downfall of Anthony Fauci and his team's work to restore public trust in America's leading public health and scientific institutions. With the disarming humility we've always known him for, Dr. Jay explains what he found most striking about Fauci's journal entries and evastions before Congress. The gang then pivots to what must be done to prevent a bureaucrat from acquiring such dictatorial powers and taxpayers from having to fund their own pandemic. Plus, Robinson, Hayward and Lileks wish the DNC luck in staving off the DSA; they find in our techno-innovators things to be hopeful for despite a generation that knew not the Soviets; they have a friendly debate over the triviality of pop-culture; and they say farewell to a departed Ricochet member.Sound from this week's open: Senator Rand Paul questions Anthony Fauci before the U.S. Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.Closing Music: "Center of the Universe" by Markus Little, via MotionArrayBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-ricochet-podcast--5817275/support.

Send us Fan MailWhat can burned human remains reveal about a fatal fire—and what evidence may be permanently lost when a body is moved too soon?Recorded live at the IAAI International Training Conference in St. Louis, Scott Kuhlman and Chasity Owens sit down with forensic anthropologist Dr. Elaine Pope to discuss the investigation and recovery of human remains from fatal fire scenes. Dr. Pope explains how forensic anthropology, fire investigation, law enforcement, and medicolegal death investigation must work together to accurately interpret the scene, identify victims, preserve evidence, and provide answers to families.The conversation explores how the human body burns in vehicle fires, structure fires, outdoor fires, and intentionally set fires; how burned bones can resemble drywall and other fire debris; and how fire patterns on the body may help investigators understand fire exposure and movement. Dr. Pope also explains why investigators should treat the body as evidence, leave it in place until it can be properly documented, and avoid assuming a fire death is accidental before the autopsy and complete investigation are finished.The episode also recaps the Central California Forensic Fatal Fire Death Investigation Academy, addresses the long-standing myth that the human skull explodes during a fire, and provides practical guidance for investigators approaching their first fatal fire scene.We Train Frequently: Georgia IAAI Conference — Savannah, Georgia: July 27–30, 2026Tennessee IAAI Conference: August 17–20, 2026  Includes AI for Fire InvestigatorsHawaii IAAI Conference: August 26–28, 2026 Nebraska Chapter Annual Fire Conference: September 15–17, 2026 IAAI Evidence Collection Technician Practical — CCAI Conference: October 8, 2026 Fire Investigator 1A — Hayward, California: September 14–18, 2026 Fire Investigator 1B — Hayward, California: October 26–30, 2026 Fire Investigator 1C — Hayward, California: November 16–20, 2026Link to the Hayward training: https://my.cheddarup.com/c/fire-investigation-courses-60744/itemsThank you for listening! If you enjoyed the episode, give us 5 stars, hit the follow button, and subscribe on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and anywhere you are listening in from. Follow us on social media!Instagram: @infocusfire_podcastLinkedIn: INFOCUS podcastFacebook: INFOCUS podcastTikTok: @infocus_podcast

Parker Wolfe was the 43rd man on a 42-man Olympic list. Now, he's making the case for rookie of the year in professional running.Dominic sits down with the Swoosh TC Flagstaff star to unpack a debut season that reads like a highlight reel: a USATF cross country title on a muddy Portland course, top American honors at World XC in Tallahassee, a first sub-13 indoor 5K, a 12:49.45 Diamond League debut in Oslo, and a front-running Prefontaine Classic two-mile win over Grant Fisher.Parker opens up about going from top dog at UNC to "the new kid on the block" as a pro, why the professional peak is the hardest one to climb, and how he nearly committed to Duke before Chapel Hill won him over. He breaks down the transition from Chris Miltenberg to Mike Smith—more mileage, double thresholds, and a Flagstaff training group so deep he never lacks a partner, from Ethan Strand and Nico Young to the occasional Galen Rupp appearance. He makes his case that full buy-in beats a perfect program, walks through the Mo Farah-inspired tactics behind his gutsy front-running win at Hayward, and lands on the lesson at the heart of it all: people overestimate what they can do in a season and underestimate what they can do in a couple years of consistency.Plus, decoding Nike's confusingly structured Swoosh TC, Parker's five-runner Netflix docuseries cast, Nuggets loyalty, and the Lil Wayne deposition tape Coach Smith screened before Cross Nationals.Tap into the Parker Wolfe Special. If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review!

To introduce a modern audience to the classic theme of spiritual warfare, this bibliography traces a robust, historically rich trajectory that spans over three centuries—beginning with the massive, foundational strategy manuals of 17th-century Puritans like John Downame and William Gurnall, mapping the deep psychological and pastoral care found in the soul-diagnosing "cases of conscience" by Pike and Hayward, and culminating in the vivid, fiercely practical 19th- and 20th-century expositions of Charles Spurgeon and Dr. D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones. Far from being a relic of abstract, archaic mysticism, this enduring body of literature functions as a brilliant, clinical handbook for the human soul. By masterfully distinguishing between the internal vulnerabilities of our own hearts and the external, highly adaptive "wiles" of a defeated but persistent adversary, these authors provide contemporary readers with a timeless blueprint for vigilance, mental resilience, and an unwavering reliance on the all-sufficient triumph of Jesus Christ.

As healthcare organizations seek to reduce avoidable readmissions and improve patient outcomes, many are exploring how AI can help bridge gaps in post-discharge care. Patty Hayward joins Michael to discuss the evolving role of AI-driven care coordination, where automation can create value, and why the human element remains critical to successful patient engagement.

Buying a variable speed pool pump should feel like an upgrade, not a guessing game, but most people get stuck on the biggest horsepower number and end up overspending. We walk through a simple approach that starts with what you already have: match the total horsepower of your current single speed pump within a reasonable range, then use VS programming to run the lowest RPM that still gives you clean water and solid circulation.From there, we get specific about the two things that quietly control everything: voltage and plumbing. If you're on 115V wiring, a dual voltage VS pump can't deliver the same total output it would on 230V, so a “3 HP” label may not translate to real-world 3 HP performance. And if your pool has 1.5 inch suction and return lines, there's only so much flow you can realistically push before you're paying for power your system can't use. That's why many small pools, above-ground pools, and older pools are better served by a right-sized option like the Pentair SuperFlo VS class, while larger pools with attached spas and water features often justify stepping up to a true 3 HP VS pump so full-speed performance is available when you need it.We also talk practical install reality: sticking with the same pump brand and footprint (Pentair, Hayward, Jandy, and compatible drop-in options) can save time, reduce plumbing headaches, and make a swap feel close to plug-and-play. We finish with smart use cases like putting a VS pump on a water feature or booster pump, plus why variable speed pumps tend to last longer, run quieter, and deliver major energy savings when sized correctly. If this helps, subscribe, share the show with a pool owner or service tech, and leave a quick review so more people can stop buying the wrong pump.We break down how to choose the right variable speed pool pump for very small pools, older pools, and large pools without wasting money on horsepower your system cannot use. I share simple sizing rules tied to your current pump, your voltage, and your plumbing so you get good flow, strong features, and real energy savings.• matching total horsepower to your existing single speed pump within a reasonable range• why 115V wiring limits real horsepower on dual voltage VS pumps• how 1.5 inch plumbing caps the usefulness of oversized pumps• why downsizing too far can reduce spa jet force and water feature performance• when a 3 HP VS pump is the logical choice for large pools around 20,000 gallons or more• reliable smaller-pool options like the Pentair SuperFlo VS and when WhisperFlo VS fits better• choosing the same pump brand to simplify plumbing alignment and installation• using VS pumps for water features and booster pump replacements• why variable speed pumps often last longer and save more energy than single speed pumpsLearn more at swimmingpoollearning.com.If you're interested in the coaching program that I offer, you can learn more at PogBankCoaching.com.If you're looking for other podcasts, you can find those by going to my website, swimmingprolearning.com.Send us Fan MailSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

A $300 variable speed pool pump can feel like the smartest upgrade you'll make all year, until you try to plumb it in, dial in the flow, or keep it running past the first season. We dig into the budget VS pump wave hitting Amazon and big box retailers, and I share what I'd want any pool owner or pool service pro to understand before betting their circulation system on a bargain listing.We start with the unglamorous stuff that decides whether the install is easy or painful: equipment pad layout, inlet and outlet alignment, and why matching your existing pump family (Pentair, Hayward, or Jandy) often saves time and avoids surprise replumbing. From there, we get into the numbers that matter in real backyards. Horsepower ratings and “performance” claims don't always translate to real head pressure, especially on complex pools with spas, water features, long plumbing runs, or higher resistance systems. If the pump can't push water, everything downstream suffers.Next, we talk reliability and total cost of ownership. Cheap variable speed pumps can work, but the components and the drive electronics are often where corners get cut, and reviews commonly point to early failures. We also cover practical deal breakers: finding replacement parts, getting someone willing to service an off brand pump, and whether a standalone VS pump will communicate with automation systems like EasyTouch or Aqualink. Finally, I lay out smarter alternatives, including mid priced brand name VS pumps and a budget friendly approach many people overlook: replacing just the motor and drive (Century or Nidec) while keeping a solid wet end.If you've been tempted by a too good to be true price, listen all the way through, then subscribe, share it with a pool owner who's shopping right now, and leave a quick review. What's the lowest price you'd trust for the pump that runs your whole pool?We break down the real pros and cons behind the $300 to $700 variable speed pool pumps showing up on Amazon and at big box stores. We walk through install fit, honest performance, drive reliability, and why the cheapest option can get expensive fast.  • why low cost variable speed pumps can still run  • equipment pad alignment and why the inlet matters  • horsepower and head pressure claims that may not match reality  • a real service story where flow problems exposed an off brand pump  • cheap components, short lifespan reviews, and total cost math  • limited replacement parts and the risk of no service support  • automation drawbacks with EasyTouch and Aqualink systems  • better alternatives like mid priced name brands and motor plus drive retrofits  Learn more at swimmingpoollearning.com.  If you're interested in the coaching program, you can learn more at Pool PoolGuyCoaching.com.Send us Fan MailSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

How a Former SWAT Officer Built One of California's Most Successful Pool Companies | Featuring Obie Rodriguez What happens when a 30-year law enforcement veteran and 15-year SWAT officer decides to build swimming pools instead of chasing criminals? In episode # 307 of the Pool Nation Podcast, Edgar De Jesus and Ryan Morse from Hayward sit down with Obie Rodriguez, owner of Majestic Pool Construction, to share one of the most inspiring business stories in the swimming pool industry.

Another pair of collegiate records fell inside Hayward Field on Friday night at Day 3 of the 2026 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships. Alabama's Samuel Ogazi cemented himself as the greatest quarter-miler to ever grace the NCAA, winning the 400m title in 43.38 — becoming the fourth-fastest man ever in the process. LSU's Jaiden Reid broke 20 seconds under legal conditions in the 200m for the first time, and got way under 20 seconds. His 19.63 broke Walter Dix's NCAA record that had stood for nearly two decades.Simeon Birnbaum delivered a thrilling 1500m victory in front of a home Hayward crowd, pulling away down the home straight with enough cushion to celebrate to his heart's content. Habtom Samuel dashed Marco Langon's title hopes by completing the 5K-10K double, while Colin Sahlman cemented one of the best season in collegiate distance running history with an 800m title to end his NCAA career.A disaster-filled 4x100m saw Tennessee come out on top of a race that only five teams finished, while a ridiculously fast 42.99 anchor leg from Georgia freshman Jonathan Simms led the Bulldogs on an incredible comeback to 4x400m glory. When the dust settled and the points were tallied, the Arkansas Razorbacks came out on top, completing the season sweep for head coach Doug Case after he took over for Chris Bucknam at the end of the cross country season. The Hogs scores 56 points, seven ahead of the runner-up Dogs of Georgia.____________Host: Paul Hof-Mahoney | ⁠⁠@phofmahoney⁠⁠Produced by: Jasmine Fehr |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

A pump that won't prime, a lid that won't budge, and a pad visit that's suddenly running long, this is where small, practical know-how saves the day. We walk through the real-world pool pump fixes that most techs only learn after enough scraped knuckles and repeat trips, and we keep it focused on what actually works when you're standing in front of the equipment.We dig into stuck pump lids on common pumps, including why they tighten up, how a simple rubber mallet technique can help, and when it's smarter to use a dedicated pump lid removal tool for Hayward-style lids. From there we zoom in on one of the biggest causes of mystery air bubbles and “it ran fine yesterday” complaints: the pump lid O-ring. We explain how worn, dry, pinched, or missing O-rings create suction leaks, why homeowners opening the pump can trigger priming failures, and why carrying spare O-rings is one of the best low-cost moves a pool service pro can make.We also talk pump baskets, impeller clogs, and what that low filter pressure reading is really telling you. You'll hear how to check for cracked baskets, how to clear debris from the impeller safely with basic tools, and why ultra heavy-duty baskets can backfire if they get fully packed with debris.

In the late 1950s, Pamela strategically seduced producer Leland Hayward, eventually becoming his wife to secure a new life in America. She moved to the United States in 1959, where she was viewed by New York and Washington society as a dangerous "vixen" due to her reputation as a seductress. Despite the success of The Sound of Music, she discovered Leland was financially unstable, leading her to sell her European assets to sustain their lifestyle. Seeking intellectual fulfillment, she opened a Manhattan shop, though her celebrity clients often failed to pay their bills. During this time, she maintained a close friendship with President John F. Kennedy, and his 1963 assassination was a profound personal blow to her. As Leland's health deteriorated throughout the 1960s, Pamela faced hostility from his children, who resented her influence and feared for their inheritance. By Leland's death in 1971, she was left financially depleted. (5/8)1650

Pool Pros text questions hereOn this episode of Floc It Friday, Rudy Stankowitz dives headfirst into one of the most overlooked realities in the swimming pool industry: your pool truck may legally qualify as a hazardous materials transport vehicle. Rudy breaks down how everyday pool chemicals like liquid chlorine, muriatic acid, trichlor, cal hypo, cyanuric acid, and even improperly labeled buckets can place pool professionals directly under federal DOT hazmat regulations. From 49 CFR Materials of Trade exceptions to hazmat training requirements, shipping papers, securement rules, placarding, container limits, and chemical compatibility, this episode becomes an eye-opening deep dive into how many pool companies may unknowingly be operating outside federal compliance. Rudy explains why “everybody does it this way” is not a legal defense and why a single roadside inspection could turn a routine service route into a federal violation. The episode also revisits Rudy's alum cyanuric acid removal method and the science behind aluminum complexation with cyanuric acid. Rudy addresses criticism surrounding the process, explaining why the observed CYA reduction cannot simply be attributed to water loss during vacuum-to-waste. He discusses the original research, lab verification by OnBalance, the role of metal complexation, and the parallels between aluminum cyanurate and copper cyanurate chemistry. Rudy also compares aluminum sulfate and lanthanum chloride as phosphate removers, breaking down the chemistry, dosing calculations, pH considerations, and operational trade-offs between the two treatment methods in a way only Rudy can deliver. Later in the episode, Rudy shifts into industry news and commentary, discussing Hayward's gradual discontinuation of legacy ProLogic accessories and what it means for service companies maintaining aging automation systems. He explains why proactive OmniPL upgrades may become a business necessity rather than an option. The show closes with a rapid-fire industry update touching on PoolCorp's executive leadership transition, Pentair and PoolBrain's push toward data-driven service automation, the growing divide between tech-driven companies and “memory-based” operations, and the importance of National Water Safety Month. Throughout the episode, Rudy blends technical education, operational reality, and industry forecasting into a no-nonsense conversation about where the pool industry is headed — and who may get left behind if they fail to evolve.  Support the showThank you so much for listening!

Today, I have the pleasure of speaking with Alex Hayward, Executive Fellow, Family Offices and Private Capital at London Business School. Alex is a seasoned expert in Family Offices, with extensive experience building, reviewing, and optimizing Family Offices across the UK, Europe, the US, Dubai, and Australia. Over the past 15 years, he has analyzed more than 100 Single Family Offices, evaluating their structures, operations, and investment strategies. Alex draws on this broad experience to lead London Business School's work on value creation within Family Offices, examining how leading Family Offices develop their strategy, operations, and culture to support long-term growth. Alex also serves as an independent director to a Family Office in London, supporting a third-generation multi-billion family. Alongside this role he chairs the Family Office Community at Said Business School, University of Oxford, Ownership Project 2.0. Alex is a long-time friend and collaborator of FOX and a valued alumnus of the FOX team. Alex has done significant research into the importance of organizational culture among investment management, and its significance in explaining and driving performance of investment teams. He tells us what his research shows and highlights what both clients and members of investment teams can learn from it. We then focus more narrowly and look at the role of culture within family offices. Alex shares his views on how culture contributes to the value creation at the family office and the ability of family office teams to drive meaningful outcomes for their principals. Impact is frequently among the top objectives that family members seek to pursue individually or collectively with the support of their family office. Alex talks about his work and research on the effect of family office culture on the family's impact strategy, and the ability of family members to find and follow their individual pathways for self-realization and impact. Alex has also studied the effect of grief on the ability of families to make decisions and achieve growth. He shares his findings on how grief and other emotions impact UHNW family strategies and their collective activities within the family enterprise, including investing, philanthropy, social impact, etc. Enjoy this insightful conversation with one of the foremost academics and practitioners in the family wealth and family office space.

Have we hit the "another week, another act of homegrown terror" phase of American history? Spencer Klavan joins Steve and Charles for a roundup of the (relatively) young academic's recent works on subjects ranging from Francis Fukayama's oft-misunderstood thesis to the ascent of figures like Hasan Piker, who hope to microloot our stores of social capital (and Whole Foods, too). The trio also considers the possibilities before the classical education rebellion that's breaking out on campuses. Plus, Cooke and Hayward dive into this week's SCOTUS decision on Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, and they see an achievement worth celebrating in the United Arab Emirates' decision to leave OPEC.

The fastest way to level up as a pool service pro is to steal the little “route truths” that only show up after years in the field. We walk through Pool Guy knowledge volume four with practical pool maintenance tips that cut callbacks, reduce equipment failures, and save real time every week.We start at the skimmer because that's where so many problems begin. Skimmer lids can hide surprises, including black widow spider nests in the recessed top area, so we talk about simple skimmer safety habits that protect you on route. Then we get tactical: how to identify skimmer brands by the lid markings, why older locking skimmer baskets can become a headache, and why skimmer baskets often float up when the pump shuts off.From there, we focus on keeping debris out of the pump and avoiding unnecessary pump basket cleanouts. We break down the “river rock” trick to hold the basket down, why size matters for safety, and how skimmer socks (skimmer filters) can catch fine debris before it reaches the pump.We wrap with equipment-room wins: an easier way to get large filter lids seated, why RV-grade silicone spray can outperform messy lubricants for filter tank O-rings, what to do when a lid still leaks, and how to protect your arms from fiberglass shards on aging filter lids using long sleeves or a simple plastic wrap barrier. • spotting and avoiding black widows under skimmer lids  • identifying skimmer brands by the lid markings and carrying the right spares  • replacing older locking Waterway baskets with standard baskets to prevent jams  • stopping skimmer baskets from floating with a 2.5 to 3 inch river rock  • zip-tying PoolRx units so they do not get tossed during basket cleanouts  • reducing pump basket cleanouts with skimmer socks and better leaf canisters  • quick pump priming using a large filter air bleeder on compatible filters  • seating heavy filter lids using RV-grade silicone spray on tank O-rings  • handling older Hayward filter O-ring quirks and preventing leaks  • avoiding fiberglass itch with long sleevesSend us Fan MailSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

H.R. McMaster joins Steve and Charles to take stock of the war in the Middle East. Though a tank man by training, H.R. is no stranger to thinking about our capabilities and how they stack up against our foes—both the enemy in Iran and the aggressors backing them up. Plus, Cooke and Hayward can't help but feel a bit of relief that there's a bit less Erlichian misanthropy in the world; consider newly reported accusations against Caesar Chavez that could prove fatal to the progressive hero's reputation; and they round the necrologies out with a salute to the immortal Chuck Norris. Sounds from this week's open: Cesar Chavez at UCLA in 1972, Paul Erlich (Growth Busters, 2007) and Chuck Norris on… Chuck Norris (Full Measure, 2017)
