  • 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Nautis VSF Maintains Perfect Flow Automatically!
Q: What features are specifically incorporated for the pool professional to make it easier?
The discussion covers the Blue Sync app, adjustable max speeds, dirty filter warnings, and a booster mode to adapt to varying site conditions.
Nautis VSF Maintains Perfect Flow Automatically!
Q: Why is that different than measuring the actual flow rate versus just setting the pump at one RPM and walking away?
The guest emphasizes using a known value from a flow meter to control speed, which keeps flow accurate as conditions change, avoiding the pitfalls of relying on static RPMs.
Nautis VSF Maintains Perfect Flow Automatically!
Q: Okay. Let's jump right in and let's talk about this new variable speed pump and some of the unique features.
Sean explains the adaptive flow concept, how the pump uses pool data to set operation modes (constant flow or turnover), and why constant optimization improves overall pool efficiency and energy savings.
EPA vs. Sodium Bromide: The Real Story Part 1 of 2
Q: What is your opinion of pool professionals still using sodium bromide in outdoor algae treatment?
By law we cannot advise using the product in a manner inconsistent with labeling; we don't endorse off-label use, and outdoor use of Sodium Bromide-based products is not advised due to EPA labeling and safety considerations.
Low-Chlo: The Future of Pools with Founder Todd Guarino
Q: Who is the ideal customer and how can a pool pro become a dealer?
Ideal customers are residential pool owners who want healthier water with lower chlorine and easier maintenance. Pool pros can become dealers by signing up through the dealer portal on the Low-Chlo website; signup is free, with no upfront unit purchase requirement, and the program aims to rapidly expand a dealer network.
