Today we're chatting about the recent pool shortages on everything from chlorine to PVC to everything in between that seems to be delaying pool projects and causing prices to skyrocket. Stephen Little is an industry veteran with a thriving Service company in Palm Springs. A recognized thought leader in the pool industry and CEO of Claro Pool, Little shares his perspective on what is causing the shortages the pool industry currently faces. He also shares his viewpoint on how it's been impacting pool service companies like his.
