Episode Summary: 

This is what we love about our industry! Comradery and collaboration. 

Today, we speak with National Pool Partners’ CEO Augusto Titarelli and Chief Development Officer Justin Kuperberg, to discuss the impact inflation is having on the pool service industry. Increased costs for things like chemicals, labor, and even gas for service vehicles have strained operating expenses for many pool service businesses and their employees. 

The team at NPP put together a free inflation impact calculator to help give business owners the tools they need to protect their business, employees, and customers. It’s great that someone has done this and made it available for everyone!
