Pool help during tough times.

   
Hey everybody, hopefully you all are staying healthy. I wanted to extend an offer to you...

   These are weird times. Nobody's been through this. I don't care how old your grandma is, she hasn't even been through this. So it's new to everybody at the same time. Some people are scared. Some people are enjoying their time at home. Some people are dreading the looming recession (hint: me). Some places are open, some places are closed. Places have weird hours. Your kids are annoying you (and you all laugh when I tell you how annoying children are). You've got cabin fever. You've got an actual fever and you can't go to the doctor because then you'll end up getting a different kind of sick and quarantined. We've all gained x amount of pounds and enjoyed the shelter-in-place diet. Forbes has announced that people are vaping, drinking, smoking pot and watching porn in record numbers. These are the day of our lives... We are in WEIRD times my friend. 

   One of the other weird aspects about right now is social distancing. It makes it hard to conduct certain aspects of business. Here's what I can do for you... if you have any questions about your swimming pool or the equipment, simply email me at RyanDoesPools@outlook.com and in the subject put "Pool Question". Some problems I just can't answer without seeing the pool, so pictures always help, but do bear in mind that some issues just can't be solved over an email. However with general questions you may have, or maybe you're looking to get steered in a certain direction when it comes to a certain type of equipment. Whatever it is this you got a question about that relates to your inground swimming pool, just go ahead and shoot me an email and I will take the time to sit down and respond to you. I know it's not a whole lot, but if I can save you guys a trip to the pool store or avoid making contact to stop the spread well then I should be doing my part. 

   So reach out to me and let's talk about your pool!  .... You may even find (like a lot of people) that the extra few bucks you spend a month on pool service are worth the hours that you don't have to touch your swimming pool. I exist for a reason... because caring for your own pool is a complete pain in the ass.

"We're Planning on having our pool replastered"

 This one's for Joan!!    Let's talk this out, as it goes, almost every time.... Pool Owner (PO): "....We're also going to get it replastered.." Me: "Why?" PO: "It just seems kind of.... ehhhh.....Old"  STOP!    It is at that point that I realize most people don't really know much about their pool. If I was a vulture of a salesman I could pray on them and that would be the moment that would give me the green light. That's not an indictment on them, they are pro's at their own aspects of life... Teachers. Police officers. Cardiologist. Lawyers. Doctors. Contractors. Brilliant people who just get wrapped up in a momentary bout of  superficial thinking. They see calcium buildup on their tile. A stain on the bottom. Their equipment is old. It's just not what they picture... These have 0 correlation to plaster condition. They just look less than ideal, and you would be surprised how many people want to be able to not afford a replast

Does COVID-19 live in Pools?

Image
   All the talk is about the coronavirus. Covid-19. You have to be careful when you wipe your butt 'cuz there might not be any toilet paper to buy the next time you go to the store. People are selling hand sanitizer for 60 bucks. Rubbing alcohol is sold out everywhere. People are stocking up like it's Y2K and the apocalypse is among us. I don't think you should do that... I think you should swim.     Now listen I'm no medical expert... So please do not take this as some sort of hardcore fact that has been researched in laboratories by men in white coats and goggles. This is new to all of us but just let me try to explain my way of thinking. Chlorine is a sanitizer. Chlorine for pools is twice the potency of normal standard household bleach. I don't think swimming in a pool is going to cure you of coronavirus. That would be stupid, moronic, and an absolutely irresponsible statement to make. I do however feel that if you've been out in public, maybe...

The most important tip for taking care of your own pool...

Image
   I know that reads like spam.... Trust me, I ain't lying. Every year I hear countless stories of people who spend way more on chemicals than they would just paying a pool guy to do it for them (for chem service of course, full service you're paying somebody to do your manual labor for you as well). Then compound the damage and make matters worse, they sell you a bunch of things that they don't need based on a bunch of analysis that they've come to without ever actually seeing your pool. The least amount of trips you make to the pool store, the better.    If that happens to you then the chances are you are NOT doing the thing that I'm alluding to. Listen, it still can... Anytime you put your own little micro environment in your yard you run that risk.    It's not a chemical or some item that I'm trying to sell you, I'm not big on sales. In fact it's free. It's free and you don't even need to get it from somebody. You want to know wha
