About this episode
In this lively episode of Talking Pools, hosts Rudy and Andrea take a spirited trip down memory lane to the unapologetic era of the 80s when political correctness was a foreign concept. From there, they dive headfirst into the contemporary debate of whether a four-day or five-day workweek is more suitable for a bustling pool service company. The discussion promises to be as refreshing as an ice-cold beer, exploring the challenges and advantages of each schedule.
The aquatic adventure doesn't stop there. Rudy and Andrea tackle the critter conundrum, providing listeners with tips on how to keep raccoons at bay and, more importantly, how to handle the aftermath when these masked visitors decide to turn your pool into their personal restroom. Additionally, they address the explosive topic of water hammer and the potential risks it poses to pool filters. Amidst the splashes of knowledge, the hosts announce the fortunate winners of the Wingman/Wingwoman contest, who will be joining them at the AQUA LIVE Leadership Retreat in sunny Fort Lauderdale, Florida, from December 11th to the 13th. So, whether you're a seasoned pool professional or a newbie to the industry, this episode promises a mix of laughter, insights, and practical advice for navigating the wild waters of pool service entrepreneurship.
