  • Love the Real-World 35 year lessons learned

    I have been cleaning for about 1/2 the time you have been plying your craft: I enjoy hearing ways I can improve & I really enjoy it when you reinforce the procedures & processes that I have chosen. Always learning & adapting, you are a part of that. Thank You Sir.

  • Great content, perfect lengths

    I have listened to almost all of David’s podcasts and learned so much. The coaching group is a steal at $10 or $20, which is way below the actual value. This review was not solicited...I am just a listener. Update…David just keeps the hits coming. His dedication to the pool guys and gals is immense.

  • I like it!!

    I’ve owned my own pool cleaning company for over 6 years. David’s you tube video’s were, and still are, a tremendous help to my repairing equipment on my route. His podcast episodes are fantastic resources for different things about pools.

Pool Party Cleanup, CYA Alkalinity, and Low pH—Solved
Q: What would you do if you get to a pool after a big pool party?
I would suggest to raise the chlorine level and add a non-chlorine oxidizer, and I'd recommend that guests rinse off before entering the pool.
