Text us a pool question!

In this episode, Steve and Wayne—the Talking Pools Podcast’s own dynamic duo—compare notes on closing pools from coast to coast. Steve draws on his years of experience in New Jersey, where fall meant back-to-back closings, freeze guards, and a race against the first frost. Wayne, from his Florida base, shares stories of dealing with Northeastern clientele who expect winterized service—even when they’re hundreds of miles away from snow. Together, they dig into how regional practices, customer expectations, and business models shape the end-of-season grind.

But that’s not all—Steve takes us into an Insurance Interlude with Pat from the California Pool Association. They break down what every service pro should know about risk management, liability, and how insurance pitfalls can sneak up on you if you’re not careful. It’s a candid conversation that every pool company, whether East Coast or West Coast, can learn from.

From cover choices to customer quirks, this episode is packed with practical takeaways, plenty of laughs, and the kind of real-world shop talk that makes the Talking Pools Podcast a must-listen for pros everywhere.
