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.

🔥🏊‍♂️ Hold on to your test kits, Pool Pros! 🏊‍♀️💥 In this jaw-dropping episode of Talking Pools Podcast, hosts Rudy Stankowitz and Andrea Nannini dive headfirst into the most outrageous pool tales you won't believe are true! 🤿🌴 But here's the twist – just moments before hitting the record button, Andrea finds herself in a showdown with the ultimate poolside Karen! 😱👩‍🦳 Will she emerge victorious, or will this Karen splash disaster all over the podcast? 🚫💦 Meanwhile, the state of Florida is making waves by shelling out big bucks for swimming lessons for underprivileged kiddos, and the hosts wade into the debate: Are Natural Swimming Pools the epitome of luxury pools or just glorified ponds? 🤔💫 Strap in for a wild ride, pool pals, as this episode spills the chlorine-infused tea on everything from poolside drama to the great pool-pond conundrum! 🎙️🔊 

Microbial mystery unveiled, fecal contamination found in natural swimming pools. Recent research conducted by scientists has unveiled concerning levels of fecal contamination in natural swimming pools, a popular chlorine-free alternative. These pools celebrated for their eco-friendly approach using mechanical and biological filters were found to exceed the recommended levels for E. coli and fecal enterococci

In three out of four tested locations, the study raises questions about the efficiency of natural purification systems in maintaining water quality. The contamination traced back to wildlife, particularly birds near the pools, prompts the researchers to emphasize the need for further investigation and establishment of microbial parameters to ensure safe bathing in these increasingly popular natural pool environments.

The findings could have implications not only for private developments but also for pools with a higher bather density. This first reported in ScienceDaily.com.
