Pool house project, a skid steer after retirement, and more Panthers stories than you've ever heard in one place. We sit down with Mick Mixon to trace a remarkable arc—from the broadcast booth to a backyard compound where concrete, retaining walls, and a humming skid steer turned “free time” into craft. Mick opens up about why sports still feel truly unscripted, how different people find common purpose in a huddle, and the quiet ways community shows up when you're building something that matters.We dig into the heart of Carolina football: the psychology of leadership in a locker room, the night Kelvin Benjamin went down and the resolve that followed, and what it really felt like to stare down Super Bowl 50 with a horn band waiting in a ballroom that never quite celebrated. Cam Newton becomes an energy study—220 volts of charisma and chaos—raising the big what-ifs about coaching continuity, culture, and how to steward a generational personality. Mick shares vivid snapshots of Luke Kuechly signing every autograph, Christian McCaffrey's sneaky comedy, and Greg Olsen's detail-obsessed football brain on a cross-country flight.It's not just nostalgia. Mick breaks down Bryce Young's growth curve—speeding up decisions, protecting himself, and learning to live on time—while we weigh the front office moves that could give a young quarterback a real shot. Between those X's and O's, you'll hear the heartbeat of his retirement: teaching a grandson how to swap a water pump, moving rock until the grade feels right, and discovering that the best wins often happen in the driveway. If you love the Carolina Panthers, NFL leadership, DIY building, or just a good story well told, you'll find plenty to carry with you.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a Panthers fan, and leave a review with your biggest Carolina what-if—we might read it on air next week.

Prices at the supply house keep climbing, and chlorine isn't bouncing back to 2016. We dig into the real reasons chemical costs surged 100–160% in just five years—pandemic shocks, the Biolab fire, transportation and regulatory pressures, payroll hikes—and why those forces keep a firm floor under today's pricing. From tabs and liquid chlorine to cal-hypo and specialty products, we connect the dots between market dynamics and the margins on your route.Then we get practical. You'll hear how to stop absorbing chemical costs without alienating good clients: move trichlor tablets out of your monthly rate, bill a 50‑pound bucket upfront, or use a one-time halfway subsidy to transition. We outline when to charge for shock events, how to set a seasonal algaecide or conditioner fee for enzymes and phosphate removers, and how to document usage so problem pools don't sink your profits. If a timer fails, a party trashes the water, or the system sits in spa mode, you'll have a clear, fair policy ready to go.Finally, we walk through the pricing math that calms nerves. A $10 monthly increase across an average route can more than offset one or two cancellations, and small annual bumps are easier for customers to accept than sporadic leaps. We share language for a simple rate letter grounded in facts—chemical inflation, fuel, payroll—and a framework for tracking costs per account so you know when to adjust. The result is a service business that stays profitable, transparent, and sustainable, even when chlorine keeps inching up.• structural reasons chlorine prices stay elevated• why bundling tabs and shocks destroys margins• options to bill tablets upfront or split the first bucket• when and how to charge for shock and specialty chems• using a seasonal algaecide or conditioner fee• the math and mindset for small annual price increases• writing a clear, honest rate increase letter• handling pushback and customer churn without panic• tracking costs per account to spot problem pools• links to more episodes and coaching resourSend us a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

Tired of white dust on your dark pebble finish, shredded filter media, or the stress of a sudden cold snap? We dig into the practical, money-saving tactics that keep pools clear and equipment safe, backed by decades in the field and feedback from real service routes. You'll hear exactly why pressure washers and cartridge filters don't mix, plus the simple nozzle upgrade that speeds cleaning without wrecking pleats.We unpack calcium scale on pebble interiors with a plan you can actually use: manage the LSI slightly on the corrosive side to limit scale formation, lean on the Orenda app to get the math right, and use a sequestrant like EasyCare Butech for added protection during new-surface break-in. When deposits set hard, we explain why acid washes disappoint and why professional media blasting is the dependable reset—along with realistic costs so clients aren't blindsided.Cold weather throws another curveball. Freeze protect typically kicks on around 37 degrees and can run pumps for days without harm, but power outages are the real danger. We share a simple emergency checklist—from opening drain plugs to pulling salt cells—and why a standby generator is the best insurance in deep freezes. We also spotlight a patent-pending cartridge assembly for the Bottom Feeder and Shrimp vacs that captures 20-micron debris, transforming fine-dirt cleanups. To cap it off, we clarify how to get the most from suction-side cleaners: leave them in, let variable speed schedules do the work, and avoid hose memory by storing lines straight during parties.• why pressure washers damage cartridge filters and safer nozzle options• how LSI management reduces scale on dark pebble finishes• when to use sequestrants and when blasting is the only fix• realistic costs and cadence for bead blasting pebble interiors• how freeze protect works and what to do during power outages• a cartridge add-on that lets portable vacs capture fine dirt• best practices for leaving suction cleaners in and scheduling run timeJoin the pool guy coaching progSend us a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

Clear water starts with the right filter, not a monster pump. We dive into the real drivers of pool clarity and ease of maintenance, showing why filter sizing determines circulation, energy use, and how often you clean. If you've battled cloudy water, sluggish skimmers, or a cleaner that crawls, the culprit may be a filter that's too small for your pool and conditions.We break down how different filters behave under load. Large cartridge filters spread debris across big surface area, keeping PSI stable and flow strong for months. DE and sand deliver great clarity but show faster performance drop-offs as dirt builds, making the pressure gauge your best early warning. You'll learn clean PSI baselines, the 10 PSI rule for action, and when a quick backwash can restore flow. We also map practical sizing: for around 15,000 gallons, a 300 to 400 square foot cartridge, a 60 square foot DE, or a 300 to 400 pound sand filter is a smart starting point. Pump horsepower isn't the hero for every filter. Sand filters often perform worse with oversized pumps, while large cartridges can take advantage of higher flow without choking. We share field stories, from a 15,000-gallon pool that ran beautifully for years on modest pumps thanks to a 420 square foot cartridge, to the chronic struggles of above‑ground kits saddled with tiny 25 to 50 square foot filters. The message is simple: size the filter generously for your gallonage and lifestyle, track your clean PSI, and prioritize circulation as much as filtration. Your reward is clearer water, less maintenance, and a system that's far more forgiving during storms, parties, and heavy pollen weeks.• why circulation matters as much as filtration• how undersized filters choke flow and raise PSI• cartridge vs sand vs DE behavior under load• reading clean PSI and spotting 10 PSI rise• when to backwash and when to clean• recommended sizes for 15k and larger pools• why sand dislikes oversized pumps• tandem cartridges and large-pool strategies• above‑ground kit pitfalls and upgradesSend us a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

Heavy leaves or fine dust—what's slowing you down? We break down the real-world tradeoffs between the most popular pool vacuum systems so you can match the right tool to every stop and cut your cleaning time without cutting corners. Drawing on years in the field, we compare Riptide and Hammerhead cart rigs, the updated Power Vac handheld, and the ultra-portable Bottom Feeder and Shrimp. We also spotlight the Vac Daddy's secret weapon for vacuum-to-waste jobs and explain how bag micron choices and cartridge filtration can completely change your results on dusty routes.We start with carts and cords, looking at why Riptide's intake shape delivers massive pull and how its rugged head and locking bags boost durability—while adding weight and tougher bag removal. Hammerhead counters with nimble balance and faster maneuvering thanks to its center wheel and lighter feel. From there, we explore battery options, cord lengths, and mounting solutions like T-bar receivers that let you carry multiple carts and gear without cramming the truck bed.Then we get practical about portables. Bottom Feeder and Shrimp turn speed into a strategy: flip the switch, drop in, and clean routine pools quickly with no cord management. With the cartridge filter assembly grabbing down to fine dirt, these compact tools can outperform expectations on dusty pools and tight decks. We compare micron ratings across bags, share the sweet spot that balances leaves and silt, and lay out when a cartridge wins over a small-micron bag. Finally, we carve out space for the Vac Daddy, which excels as a lightweight vacuum-to-waste solution that can replace bulkier portable filtration when you need to bypass the filter fast.• pros and cons of cart vacuums versus portable systems• riptide power and durability trade-offs• hammerhead balance and maneuverability• power vac handheld update and availability• bottom feeder and shrimp portability and runtime• cartridge assembly for fine dirt capture• bag micron choices and performance• vac daddy use case for vacuum-toSend us a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

Ever heard a variable speed pump scream for a minute on a cold morning and wondered if the motor is toast? We dig into the real-world signs that separate normal quirks from costly failures, sharing field-tested ways to read noises, clouding, and pressure spikes without overreacting or replacing parts you don't need.We start with cold-start pump behavior and why grease viscosity makes a VS motor squeal briefly in chilly weather, then move to the mess that follows a season's first rain. You'll learn why that initial storm dumps more dirt and organics, how dilution erodes free chlorine, and the fastest way to recover with targeted shock, brushing, and filter management as PSI climbs. From there, we unpack the “DE sneeze” that can puff powder back through returns after a filter clean, what's normal for quad DE designs, and how to protect sensitive hardware like pressure-side cleaners, salt cells, and in-floor systems by checking screens and flow paths.Air in the pump lid gets its own spotlight. We explain the small bubble you might see at low RPM, how to test system tightness at full speed with the air relief open, and where suction-side leaks actually hide—lid O-rings, unions, valve stems, threaded fittings, and bleeder assemblies. You'll get practical fixes to stop drain-back, improve priming, and extend motor life. Finally, we cover chemical odor safety. Acid and chlorine carry expected smells, but a wet trichlor bucket or feeder can create a dangerous gas mix. We outline safe opening steps, storage tips to keep tablets dry, and simple habits that protect your lungs and your route.• Cold-start pump squeal that fades in minutes in low temperatures• Cloudy water and debris spikes after first seasonal rain• Shock levels to recover diluted chlorine and haze• DE and cartridge “hiccup” on startup and how to manage it• Protecting pressure-side cleaners and in-floor systems from blowback• Air in pump lids at low RPM versus real suction leaks• Diagnosing drain-back and hard-to-prime systems• Chemical odor basics and triSend us a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

Embracing Hope: Moving Beyond Past Struggles and Embracing New Beginnings In this sermon, Jeremy emphasizes the importance of staying connected and introduces a new series focused on themes of newness, transformation, and the renewing of one's mind. The discussion revolves around the challenges of maintaining hope and motivation, especially when initial inspiration fades. Using references to 'National Quitters Day' and the movie 'Shawshank Redemption,' the talk explores the idea that hope, despite being risky and sometimes painful, is essential for true transformation. The sermon highlights a biblical story from John chapter 5, where Jesus heals a man who has been an invalid for 38 years, urging him to pick up his mat and walk, symbolizing the need to leave behind old identities and embrace a new life. Emphasizing that hope is a choice and a necessary aspect of faith, the speaker urges listeners not to settle for less but to continually strive towards a new, God-given life. 00:00 Introduction and Announcements 00:49 Series on Newness and Transformation 01:29 The Temporary Nature of Inspiration 02:33 Challenges of Maintaining Resolutions 03:33 The Danger of Settling 07:43 Lessons from Shawshank Redemption 15:33 The Story of the Invalid at the Pool 23:35 Stop Identifying with Your Condition 24:02 The Significance of the Mat 25:52 Letting Go of the Old Identity 27:50 Choosing Hope and Transformation 31:14 The Power of Hope 33:41 The Cocoon of Transformation 35:31 Don't Quit, Choose Hope 41:42 A Prayer for Hope and Healing

Pool Pros text questions hereIn this conversation, Rudy Stankowitz delves into the complexities of pool chemistry, particularly focusing on the role of copper and hydrogen peroxide in water treatment. He revisits a previous episode on ORP (Oxidation-Reduction Potential) and discusses the implications of misdiagnosing pool issues based on color alone. Stankowitz emphasizes the importance of understanding the underlying chemical conditions rather than relying solely on visual symptoms. He provides insights into how copper behaves in pool water, the effects of pH changes, and the common mistakes made in diagnosing and treating copper stains. The conversation culminates in a call for better questions and a deeper understanding of pool chemistry to improve industry practices.TakeawaysThe industry improves by revisiting ideas with better questions.Copper chemistry is complex and often misunderstood.Color in pool water is a symptom, not a diagnosis.Hydrogen peroxide behaves differently than chlorine in pools.Misdiagnosing copper as algae can lead to incorrect treatments.pH changes can significantly affect copper behavior in water.Copper can exist in multiple forms, each with different implications.Understanding chemical conditions is crucial for effective pool maintenance.ORP readings can be misleading without context.Good operators pressure test their explanations rather than protect them.Sound bites"A green algae pool is cloudy and opaque.""Copper can be blue, it can be green.""Copper doesn't show up.

This week on Everybody in the Pool, we're diving into the world of protein production — in reverse. Recently, the USDA released a new food pyramid that controversially places red meat and dairy at the top. That, combined with the global and particularly American obsession with protein, make it a great time to talk to Ross Milne, CEO of Leaft Foods. Leaft is developing a groundbreaking technology that extracts protein directly from alfalfa leaves, potentially reducing emissions by 97% compared to traditional animal agriculture.Leaft Foods isn't just creating a protein alternative - they're reimagining the entire food production system. By isolating RuBisCO, the most abundant protein on the planet, they've developed a nutritional powerhouse that outperforms eggs, whey, and beef in amino acid profile. Their first product, LeafBlade, packs 18 grams of protein and 58% of daily iron intake into a tiny 100ml pouch.We talk about:How extracting protein directly from leaves could transform agricultureThe nutritional superiority of RuBisCO proteinWhy efficiency matters in solving the climate crisisHow this technology could improve both human nutrition and animal farmingThe potential for scaling a more sustainable protein production methodLinks:Leaft Foods: https://www.leaftfoods.com/All episodes: https://www.everybodyinthepool.com/Subscribe to the Everybody in the Pool newsletter: https://www.mollywood.co/Become a member for the ad-free version of the show:https://everybodyinthepool.supercast.com/Visit our sponsor, Climatize, and get $50 in investment credits when you create a profile!

Want a pool service schedule that actually lets you take time off without losing momentum or money? We break down a practical framework for solo operators and small teams to reclaim rest, reduce burnout, and keep customers happy year-round.We start with the hard truth: summer time off is risky. Heat, bather load, and algae pressure make July and August the most fragile weeks on a route. Then we flip the script and show you how the 48-weeks model lets you plan four weeks off across the year while billing monthly with confidence. You'll learn how to bank those fifth service days that pop up on the calendar, turn them into smart breaks, and present the logic clearly to clients who care about consistency and value.From there, we get tactical. We outline how to build a four-day work week that preserves Fridays for repairs, filter cleans, and green-to-clears, giving you three real days of recovery. You'll hear how to stack pools to engineer long weekends—moving Thursday and Friday stops earlier in the week—so every account still gets serviced and you still get away. We dig into customer communication, too: who needs a heads up when you shift a visit, who doesn't, and how to avoid creating confusion with clients who only care that the water is clean.Timing matters, so we map out the best windows for vacations in year-round markets: March and April, late September, and October, plus the low-attention week between Christmas and New Year's.

“Do you want to be healed?” This is a curious question from Jesus to a man desperately trying to make his way to a miraculous healing pool. Of course he wants to be healed! So, why does he put his hope in this “magical” pool? In this episode of The Magnificent 37, we first follow Jesus to the Pool of Bethesda and then into a synagogue, where He encounters men burdened by infirmity and a religious system steeped in legalism. By commanding the invalid to rise and the man with the withered hand to stretch it out, Jesus “breaks the law” so far as the Pharisees are concerned, but, in reality, He is reclaiming the Sabbath as a day of mercy.  The Rev. Dr. Curtis Deterding, pastor emeritus in Ft. Meyers, FL, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study John 5:1–15 and Mark 3:1–6.  Thy Strong Word kicks off the new year by dedicating our time to study "The Magnificent 37: The Miracles of Jesus." Christ didn't just speak the Word; He demonstrated it with power. From the quiet intimacy of water turning to wine at Cana to the earth-shaking reality of the empty tomb, the Gospels record thirty-seven distinct moments where Jesus suspended the laws of nature to reveal the power of his grace. This isn't just a list of "neat tricks" from history. It is a systematic walkthrough of how God breaks into our broken world to fix it. Why did Jesus curse a fig tree? Why did He need mud to heal a blind man? What does the coin in the fish's mouth teach us about being citizens of heaven and earth?  Host, Pastor Phil Booe and a lineup of guest pastors will take you through each event, verse by verse. We'll move past the Sunday School summary and get into the meat of the text, including the Old Testament connections, the cultural context, and the immediate comfort these signs bring to your life today.   Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

Saying yes to every pool is the fastest way to burn out your route and your margins. We break down a practical bidding system for weekly service, green pool cleanups, acid washes, and installs that protects your time, sets clear expectations, and helps you win the right work at the right price.We start with the mindset shift: only bid work you're ready to start. From there, we walk through a thorough site assessment that treats each pool like a home inspection—surface condition, equipment health, tree cover, access, and debris patterns all factor into time-on-site. You'll hear why a strict no‑touch rule during bids prevents costly blame games, plus how to read client fit by talking through expectations before you ever pick up a pole.Next, we get into pricing mechanics. Set a realistic baseline for an easy pool and scale up for gallons, complexity, and seasonal load. Ditch the “it evens out across my route” myth—each account must carry its true cost. We share a simple script for correcting an underbid without losing the client: own the mistake, explain the time gap, and offer a clear path forward. For green pools, we recommend tiered severity and a built‑in cushion to cover surprise revisits and chemical demand. For repairs and installs, use flat fees with adders for tight pads and re-plumbing so you get paid for both the job and the opportunity cost.By the end, you'll have the tools to bid with confidence, avoid troublesome accounts, and charge prices that reflect your expertise. If you're landing every quote, you're likely underpriced; aim to win fewer, better jobs that pay fairly and keep your schedule sane. • committing to jobs you actually want• assessing surfaces, equipment, debris, and access• meeting clients and gauging fit• no‑touch policy during bids to avoid liability• building a baseline rate and scaling by time• raising underbids with direct, honest language• pricing green pools with a 20 percent cushion• flat‑fee installs with adders for complexity• focusing on opportunity cost andSend us a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

A Man Healed at the Pool of Bethesda - 30-Day Gospel Reading Challenge - Day 2 (John 5:1-24) by Shawn Ozbun

Ever wish you could drop a problem account without triggering a one-star review? We dig into a step-by-step method for ending service gracefully, using clear language, respectful timelines, and smart psychology to leave on good terms and protect your reputation. If you've battled heavy debris, unpredictable seasonal leaf drops, or customers who won't fix failing equipment, this guide lays out exactly what to say and when to say it.We start with the real reasons pros let accounts go—bad access, nonstop leaves, heavy use, and chemical instability—and then show how to frame the exit around route consolidation instead of blame. You'll hear why “I'm out of your area” backfires, how a simple 30-day notice cools emotions, and how giving space can nudge reluctant owners to finally replace worn-out pumps and filters. We talk through the psychology of timing, the difference between standards and excuses, and the surprising power of leaving the backyard spotless on your way out.We also tackle sales and reputation risks most service businesses overlook. Ghosting leads and failing to deliver bids are magnets for angry reviews, so we share a clean solution: price high to reflect true effort when a pool isn't a fit. If they accept, your time is covered; if they decline, your brand stays intact. Finally, we cover when to refer a pool, when not to, and how small account bundles can be sold responsibly to tighten your route.If you're a pool service pro aiming for fewer headaches and stronger reviews, this playbook will help you exit with confidence and keep referrals flowing. Enjoy the episode, then subscribe, share with a fellow pro, and leave a review to tell us your smartest exit move.• main reasons to drop an account• consolidation as a respectful exit script• avoiding “out of area” excuses• handling customer neglect with timelines• using pricing to filter unwanted bids• answering calls and delivering bids to guard reputation• giving 30 days' notice and leaving the yard tidy• when to refer, when not to, and why•Send us a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

This week on Everybody in the Pool, we're starting the year with an audacious question: what if we reinvented one of the most basic materials in the world?Decarbonizing the built environment means tackling the stuff we use everywhere — wood, concrete, and steel — at the same time we're trying to build millions of new homes, strengthen supply chains, and reduce our exposure to geopolitical and climate risk. That's a tall order. But it's also unavoidable.My guest is Nathan Silvernail, co-founder and CEO of Plantd, a company building a tree-free, carbon-negative alternative to engineered wood. Designed as a drop-in replacement for OSB (oriented strand board), Plantd's material looks and behaves like conventional wood — but without cutting down trees. And they're not stopping at the material itself: Plantd is building the machines, manufacturing process, and agricultural supply chain needed to produce it at scale.We talk about:Why “sustainable wood” isn't always as sustainable as it soundsWhy trees can't scale fast enough to meet demand and climate goalsWhat it takes to replace a commodity material without asking builders to change how they buildThe co-benefits: turning waste into biochar and high-purity carbon for adjacent industrial marketsThe hard realities of scaling hardware, agriculture, and manufacturing at the same timeLINKS:Plantd: https://www.plantdmaterials.com/All episodes: https://www.everybodyinthepool.com/Subscribe to the Everybody in the Pool newsletter: https://www.mollywood.co/Become a member for the ad-free version of the show:https://everybodyinthepool.supercast.com/Visit our sponsor, Climatize, and get $50 in investment credits when you create a profile!

Driving less can be the biggest raise you give yourself. We dive into how to tighten your pool service route so every mile worked actually pays, from drawing smarter borders to pruning outliers and building compact days that feel smooth even when things go sideways. You'll hear a clear framework to map clusters, create crossover paths for flexibility, and avoid the trap of taking “just one” out-of-area account that costs you twice in time and stress later.We get specific about choosing corridors and neighboring cities that balance workload after winds or storms, so you don't get crushed in one zone while another sits clean. You'll learn how to handle sensitive account changes with simple, client-friendly language, and how to partner with nearby pros to swap or transfer accounts without burning goodwill. We also break down when it makes sense to buy a small, tight route inside your target area, then sell or let go of far-flung pools to compress your map fast.To keep the pipeline aligned with your plan, we share practical tactics for targeted Google and Facebook ads, neighborhood canvassing, and a disciplined lead filter that protects your borders. The result is a schedule designed by intent, not chance: day-specific clusters, predictable drive times, and time saved that turns into higher margins or earlier finishes. If you want to earn more by driving less—and keep your sanity when the winds kick up—this conversation gives you the playbook. If it resonates, subscribe, share with a fellow pro, and leave a quick review to help others find it.• mapping current accounts into clusters• designing crossover days for flexibility• setting borders and pruning outliers• diversifying cities to balance wind and debris• smooth client transfers without drama• partner swaps and mini-route purchases• targeted ads and saying no to bad-fit leads• day-specific scheduling that saves timeSend us a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

With clear systems, tight pricing, and smarter routing, you can turn five- to seven-minute stops into reliable income and keep your energy high all week.We start by sizing the opportunity around hot tubs and share a practical spa maintenance system: program consistent circulation, choose a primary sanitizer you can replicate at scale, and use compact cordless vacs for quick debris removal. You'll learn why a mineral plus bromine floater pairs well with occasional liquid chlorine shocks, how to set a filter rinse cadence, and what to charge for standalone spas versus pool-and-spa bundles. For technical breakdowns like heaters and leaks, we explain how to partner with local specialists so you stay focused on maintenance and margins.From there, we move to water features and fountains—another fast, visible win. We cover vacuum tools that work in shallow basins, why dichlor plus liquid chlorine beats trichlor in small systems, and how to price by size and time. Then we map out chemical-only service tiers clients love: from pure chemistry checks to baskets, skimming, and brushing. These short visits slot neatly between full-service pools, smoothing your day while lifting revenue per hour. Finally, we show how filter cleanings can be marketed as stand-alone work that often converts into full-service accounts, with fair pricing for quad-cartridge and DE systems and simple upsells when parts are worn.• sizing the hot tub market and standardizing spa care• setting spa runtime and picking a sanitizer system• fast service flow, vacuum choices, and filter rinse cadence• pricing standalone spas and bundling with pool service• partnering with specialists for spa repairs• adding water features with dichlor and liquid chlorine• building chemical-only tiers to smooth the route• selling filtSend us a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!
