One year ago, we launched this community to give pool service entrepreneurs and pros a trusted and safe space to ask questions, swap advice, get inspired, and celebrate each other’s wins!! We also teamed up with industry experts to bring real-world tips and tools to help grow your business and sharpen your skills.
And it’s a WOW when we look at what we’ve created together so far:
1,700+ posts packed with industry knowledge, business know-how, and Skimmer tips
114,000+ page views from owners and pros finding the content they need to level up
37,000+ visitors and 1,500+ members contributing to this growing and dynamic knowledge hub
Together, we are building something truly special!

Have enjoyed contributing and hearing from other companies so far. A great first year!
Being part of the Pool Deck community platform has truly helped me and my company grow. The access to shared knowledge, advice, and support from other pool professionals has been a game changer. It’s inspiring to be connected with a strong unit of people I can reach out to or learn from. The contests, prizes, and awards add a fun and motivating touch—making those long days in the sun a lot more bearable and enjoyable. I'm proud to be part of a community that lifts each other up!
Loving the progress so far! What's been helpful is being part of this community where we can come together, help each other out, and share great tips from all around.
Happy Birthday Pool Deck! I always like reading other people’s perspectives & plights because it both gives me ideas and lets me know my suffering is not alone lol
Happy Birthday Pool Deck! The ability to read others takes on the same issues across the country is great. However, if you could make this app like so that it is more accessible on my phone would help!
Happy 1-Year Anniversary to the Pool Deck Community!
What I love most about Pool Deck are the “life on the road” posts and the Skimmer tips and tricks. The real-life stories from fellow pool pros remind me that I’m not out here alone—we’re all in this together, and sometimes you just need someone else who gets what it’s like to pull a critter out of a skimmer basket.
The Skimmer insights have also been a game-changer for me. I’ve learned how to use tags more effectively and stay up to date with new features, which has made my daily workflow smoother and more efficient.
A future feature that could be helpful? A Skimmer app alert when there’s a new post or notification in Pool Deck—just to help stay even more in the loop.
All in all, the Pool Deck has been a fun, welcoming place to connect with others in the industry and never feel afraid to ask questions. Thanks to everyone who contributes—you’ve made this community something really special!
Happy Birthday!!! This app has been an incredible tool in helping me grow our business. It's made me realize that the challenges I face are shared by many others—and that we're all part of a community, supporting and uplifting one another. I absolutely love the webinars and the constant updates on the app. Wishing you many more years of success and growth—thank you for growing with us!
JUST POOLS SERVICES
We appreciate the early comments 🩵 and agree that access on the go is key to helping everyone get more out of The Pool Deck.
While we don’t have an app yet, you can easily create a mobile app shortcut to add it to your phone for quick access.
PS – @code3pools_ops @erychlik thank you for the reminder to promote this hack!!
Happy Birthday Pool Deck!!! I can't believe it’s already been a year! Heck I can’t believe we’re already half way through 2025. Here’s to another great year of Pool Deck.
I agree, yes an app would be awesome. The shortcut is pretty intuitive though as well!
Skimmer hack: I love using Tags for upsell and brand opportunities. I'll tag all my customers for various things (neighborhoods, pool type, and many others). This enables me to quickly sort when doing a Broadcast email for a monthly promotion such as Filter replacement deals, or say a Google Review Campaign from customers who don't have the "Google Review Secured" tag .

Absolutely brilliant tag “Google Review Secured” !!!!!
It’s been a wild ride! We joined up when we hired our first full-time employee, and now we're looking for our third. It's nice to see everyone else come along for the ride. We have accomplished a lot and learned even more. We are glad to have chosen Skimmer to get us to where we are now.
If you're a Skimmer customer wanting to unlock full access, please create an account with the same work email address associated with your Skimmer account. If you don’t use Skimmer, you can still create an account but will be granted general access. Please email community@getskimmer.com if you have any questions.
