  • サマリー

  • Forget chasing chlorine headaches and battling algae wars alone. The Talking Pools Podcast is your weekly escape from pool purgatory, where 250+ years of combined pro wisdom explodes into actionable hacks, mind-blowing tips, and secrets so ancient they make Poseidon jealous.


    Think of it as your weekly poolside braintrust, fueled by eight seasoned pros, each a rockstar in their own aquatic lane. Got a filtration fiasco? Chemical conundrum? Equipment enigma? No problem. We've got a host for that:


    • The Tech Titan: Unravels the mysteries of pumps, filters, and gizmos that make pools tick (without the electrical shocks).


    • The Chem Crusader: Your personal alchemist, whipping up potion-perfect water balance with a dash of science and a sprinkle of magic.


    • The Maintenance Maverick: From tile tricks to algae assassins, he's got the lowdown on keeping your pool looking like a liquid emerald palace.


    • The Customer Calmer: Smooths ruffled feathers faster than a pool noodle bouquet, turning hangry homeowners into poolside pals.


    But Talking Pools isn't just about technical wizardry. It's about camaraderie, the shared language of pool pros who've seen it all, from exploding filters to synchronized swimming squirrels (no, really, we had an episode!).


    Every week, you'll:


    • Steal game-changing secrets: Learn pro-grade hacks to make you the "Pool Whisperer" in your market


    • Laugh until you spit out your piña colada: These guys are as witty as they are wise, turning pool problems into poolside punchlines.


    • Get ahead of the curve: Stay on top of industry trends and tech before your competitors even smell the chlorine.


    • Feel the love (and the sunshine): Remember why you got into this business in the first place – the joy of creating backyard oases where memories are made.


    So, ditch the Drano, grab your headphones, and dive into the Talking Pools Podcast. It's your weekly dose of poolside wisdom, laughter, and community. We'll see you on the flip side!

    In this episode of Thursdays with Wayne & Steve, the hosts tackle the tough but necessary topic of firing customers. Wayne and Steve dive into the signs that it’s time to cut ties with a problematic client, exploring how to assess when the drama outweighs the revenue. They break down the common red flags—late payments, unrealistic expectations, and constant complaints—and discuss how to weigh those against the value of keeping a customer on the books.

    The duo also highlights when not to fire a customer, stressing the importance of separating emotion from business decisions. They offer practical tips on determining just how much hassle is too much, sharing personal stories of clients who pushed the boundaries of professionalism.

    Most importantly, Wayne and Steve cover the critical part: what to say when it’s time to let a customer go. They share professional yet firm scripts for maintaining your dignity and reputation while showing a bad customer the door.

    This episode is a must-listen for any pool service professional trying to navigate the tricky waters of customer relationships!

  • Death of a Tadpole

    Death of a Tadpole
    2024/10/22

    Send us a text

    Andrea and Paulette are back, and this time, they're schooling us on two things: Andrea's eager-but-clueless helper and, well, let’s just say some tadpoles didn’t make it out alive. Tragic but hilarious.

    Just when you think it's safe to get back in the water, BAM! You get hit with a Biolab update. You know, the place that had that massive fire. Trying to get things back on track after that has been a mess. Things are looking up, according to this Press Release.

    Picture this: Andrea’s got a new guy on the team, right? And this guy is the definition of enthusiastic ignorance. He doesn’t know squat about pool service, but he’s like a sponge—ready to soak it all in, except maybe some chlorine, 'cause I think he missed that memo. The whole time, Andrea’s like, “I appreciate your effort, but please, for the love of God, stop messing with the equipment before you turn the filter into a Space X rocket.”

    And speaking of science experiments… let's talk tadpoles. RIP to those little guys. Yeah, apparently, while learning the ropes, the new guy thought it was totally normal to skim out frogs and their tiny swimming babies with, like, zero remorse. Andrea tried to stop him, but at some point, you gotta just let it happen and give the tadpoles a funeral they didn’t ask for. "And here we lay these little amphibians to rest—plop—in the chlorine-soaked afterlife. May they hop in peace."

    Andrea and Paulette just wrap it up like, “So yeah, tadpoles dead, chlorine shortage is a concern, and this new guy… still has no idea what he’s doing. But he’s learning!” It's like a reality show where the stakes are lower, but the laughs are higher.
