Hey Pool Pros

Greetings, Pool Pros. My name is Dan Riley V. Started in the Service Industry 2008. Wife and I started a service company in 2008 after the economy tanked. We did not buy a route but built one from scratch, one pool at a time. Relentlessly pursuing education, we found moderate success and discovered an industry full of very kind and helpful colleagues eager to help us grow. I am a lifelong part of this industry, as a result. We sold our route to another family member 2 years ago and got the heck out of CA like most everyone else. I am currently a service manager for a rapidly growing design/build/service firm in Atlanta. Thank you, all, in advance, for your contributions here and across the industry. Regards, Dan Riley V IG: @rileyv.photography

Pool test strips save man’s life

In a shocking case out of Arizona, a woman has admitted to attempting to poison her Air Force husband by lacing his coffee with bleach. Despite the gravity of the offense, Melody Felicano Johnson, 40, is reportedly evading jail time, instead she’ll receive probation coupled with mandatory mental health treatment. https://www.poolmagazine.com/pool-news/pool-test-strips-confirm-wife-tried-to-poison-me-says-victim/
