PART FIVE • POOL SHOPS & PROFESSIONAL SERVICES IT TAKES ABOUT SEVEN YEARS FOR A POOL & SPA SERVICE TECHNICIAN TO BECOME FULLY PROFICIENT IN ALL THE SCIENCES AND TECHNOLOGIES INVOLVED. A pool or spa will last 30 years or more, so it’s important to think beyond the initial purchase process. It’s a significant investment and, like a fine car, it needs to be properly maintained if it is to retain its value. And it’s not just a question of money. Pool chemicals can be dangerous if used or stored incorrectly. They also need to be applied properly and balanced to avoid any health risks. Clearly these are not issues that should ever be entrusted to the untrained or the ill-equipped. A SPASAVIC APPROVED POOL SHOP SHOULD BE PART OF YOUR POOL MANAGEMENT TEAM Pool and spa chemicals are now available from a wide variety of outlets. Many adopt a ‘cash & carry’ approach that places all responsibility on the pool owner. Unfortunately, they have not been fully trained. They do not understand pool and spa management and the complex interactions between pool chemicals. Which is why SPASAVIC strongly recommends dealing only with qualified and trained Pool Shops and Pool Service agents. Only they can accurately balance your pool or spa chemicals so consumption is kept to a minimum. Only they will check your pool equipment to make sure it’s operating efficiently and not wasting chemicals. Only they maintain that equipment to avoid expensive and inconvenient breakdowns. MOBILE SERVICE BRINGS THE SHOP TO YOU Rather than bring a small sample of your pool to a pool shop for testing, you can have them come to you. Most pool shops have mobile service vans and will make ‘house calls’. But for the ultimate peace of mind, convenience and water quality, you can join a pool or spa maintenance program. Then you can relax while a service technician takes full responsibility for the year-round care of your pool or spa.
