  • 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.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Cal-Hypo and Black Pool Stains: Bob Lowry Explains
Q: What happens if you swim in a pool that has no chlorine in it?
Swimming in a pool without chlorine exposes you to potential diseases due to bacteria transmitted by swimmers, as chlorine is necessary to maintain safe water.
Bob Lowry: Party-Ready Pools and Alkalinity Control
Q: How do you adjust alkalinity when cyanuric acid levels are very high?
You should reduce the cyanuric acid level as high levels require higher chlorine residuals and can disrupt balance.
Bob Lowry: Party-Ready Pools and Alkalinity Control
Q: Should you turn off the pool pump and filter while many guests are using the pool?
No, you need the filter running to keep the chlorine effective and manage contaminants in the water.
Bob Lowry: Party-Ready Pools and Alkalinity Control
Q: What would you do if a softball team calls you and 15 players are coming over to go swimming?
I would suggest raising the chlorine level and adding non-chlorine oxidizer, while encouraging swimmers to rinse off before entering the pool.
Ask the Pool Guy: YouTube Q&A
Q: How long do you recommend I leave a suction side cleaner running in the pool?
You can leave the suction side cleaner running 24-7, but in the summer it is recommended for 8 to 10 hours a week, and in the winter, 4 to 6 hours a week is sufficient.
