A Balancing Act
Pool service pros are on the front line of the industry. They’re the customer-facing techs who deal with the challenges of creating and maintaining crystal clear, algae-free swimming pools — and at a good price.
Llaves, Códigos y Seguridad
Mientras las personas técnicas tienen las herramientas y la capacitación para limpiar y realizar pruebas, aún hay un elemento esencial para un servicio sin contratiempos: el acceso fácil, o al menos razonable, a la piscina de la propiedad, ya sea que el cliente esté en casa o no.
Testing the Waters
From a retail perspective — even for companies that build and sell big-ticket pools and spas — water testing is more than determining pH and chlorine levels. It is a valuable customer service and a promotional strategy.
It’s Never Too Early
When the calendar flips to a new year and warmer weather inches closer, homeowners anticipate the upcoming fun they’ll have in their now-dormant swimming pools.
At the same time, pool service companies are already taking steps to meet the demand for reopenings. How they deal with this time and staffing crunch depends on the services they provide, the size of their staff and their system management tools. It’s a critical service for customers that begins long before the first signs of spring.
From Family Business to Industry Icon
ike many experts in the pool industry, Corinne “Corie” Kraft developed her business acumen and adventuresome spirit at an early age.

Agua Segura Simplificada
En respuesta a la MAHC, Aquasol desarrolló el sistema de Interbloqueo Universal Avanzado (Advanced Universal Interlock, AUI), un sistema de interbloqueo eléctrico multicapa que desactiva inmediatamente los dosificadores de productos químicos cuando se detecta un flujo bajo o nulo en los sistemas de la piscina. El AUI ayuda a prevenir lesiones a los y las nadadores causadas por la creación y exposición involuntarias al gas de cloro.

California Pools – Orange County South
“How did you take a $1 million office and turn it into an $8 million office — in five years?” It’s a familiar question asked of Ryan Vaughn, owner/operator of California Pools – Orange County South in San Clemente, California.
El Bloqueo y Etiquetado Protege a Todas Personas
Algunos procedimientos de seguridad están diseñados para mantenerle sano, otros son necesarios para evitar lesiones y algunos le salvarán la vida.
Una de las prácticas más conocidas e importantes es el bloqueo y etiquetado.
El Control de las Algas
Como sabe cualquiera persona técnica de mantenimiento de piscinas, no se pueden mantener las piscinas inmaculadas y relucientes sólo con una pértiga y una red para desechos. También requiere una vigilancia y un mantenimiento constante, sobre todo ante el riesgo de formación de algas.
Getting a Grip on Algae
As any pool service technician knows, you can’t keep swimming pools pristine and sparkling with just a pole and debris net. It also takes consistent monitoring and maintenance, especially with the risk of algae formation.
Lockout/Tagout Keeps Everyone Protected
Some safety procedures are designed to keep you healthy, some are necessary to prevent injuries and some will save your life. One of the best-known and most important practices is lockout/tagout, which prevents accidental startup or energization of equipment while the tech is working.
