Helping clients enjoy their pools longer in extended summer season

Pool professionals can also consider including a liquid cover product as part of their start-up packages and explain to their customers the benefits of incorporating it into their weekly pool maintenance routine.

Extending before closing

As pool professionals adjust to weather changes and the ever-increasing demand from customers who want to keep pools open longer, the idea of winterizing by a specific date on the calendar is no longer the norm.

The practice of closing pools by September is a long-standing tradition. Today, however, many new pool owners are looking to extend the swimming season into the fall to maximize the investment they made in their backyard oasis.

Professionals need to be sure they can provide solutions to ensure their clients maximize the use of their pool. Using specialty chemicals like phosphate removers, enzymes, and filter cleaners, as well as offering products like liquid pool covers, provide service techs with the tools needed to ensure consumers stay in their pool longer.
