Hey Pool Deck –
The third annual State of Pool Service survey is officially live! This is your chance to share what you see coming in 2026 — from pricing and staffing to AI, chemicals, supplies, and growth opportunities.
The 2025 report drew on input from 2000+ pros, 30,000+ Skimmer users, and market research to paint the clearest picture yet of our industry. This year, we want to make it even more relevant, and that starts with your voice.
