Dream pool experiences to relax your body, refresh your mind, and soothe your soul.
This might sound strange, but I believe there’s something “sacred” about pool equipment. The reason I use that word is simply because these are machines that take care of our health, as well as our comfort. I feel much the same way about HVAC systems and in the broader sense public water-treatment systems. Fact is, …

If to see is to believe, then to experience is to understand. Only when you step into the waters of experience do you truly know what it is to be immersed in the perfect pool water experience. Only then can you fully know the complex feelings and presence of temperature, buoyancy, texture, current, clarity and …

I’m always thrilled when one of our prospective clients decides they’d like to experience our SRK HydroZone 3® pool water for themselves. It’s happened quite a few times over the years and literally without exception, when someone takes a test dip in one of our pools, they insist on having the same water quality in …

Making great water, the kind you can’t wait to get into, ultimately comes down to making the best choices among the available pool water treatment options.

Lately I’ve been on a mission – a mission to listen, you might say. My belief has long been that far too many of us in the pool and spa design/water quality profession have not done a good job of listening to our customers. I believe that’s especially true when it comes to input from …

I’ve long thought that it was impossible to improve on the water quality delivered by our proprietary SRK HydroZone 3® system.

When I first came to the pool industry some 30 years ago, I relied heavily on vendors for information. They would tell me what to install and would often send their reps out to sell me on the latest and greatest in pool water technology. Everybody had a slick line. Whether it was an aqua …

It’s a familiar image, a small truck darting around town with a pool pole sticking out the back with a placard on the side that says, “pool service.” The hard–working soul behind the wheel works his or her route every day, taking care of pools with a leaf net, chemicals and a test kit. It is a “sweat …

Achieving high water quality is essential when creating a healthy water environment. Often, one of the keys to successful water treatment is overlooked: taking the time to listen to the people who live and work with the water every day is critical to getting it right.
