I was about to post on Craigslist this morning for my pool service and decided to check out the competition 🤣
Pool Cleaning, household help

Open pool with bamboo all around 18x37 with infinity edge, spa and chairs on tanning ledge. We had two techs cleaning and it took about 23 min (usually a 40min pool solo). Customer was upset because they found two bamboo leaves after we left.
I apologized and said we’d be more careful to look over everything before leaving. I’m kind of bothered after doing such a great job and being accused of not doing a good job. What would you do here?
I'm mean it works but wtf... All it controls is the pump
All of a sudden this starts shooting water out like a water feature. New to pools. Have cleaned the big filters etc. Pool is about 8 months old. Any ideas or troubleshooting steps? Much appreciated.
Has anyone used the Pentair Sand Vac and a shop vac for sand changes? Is it worth the $150 over a shop vac? What tempts me is it is much smaller to carry on the truck versus a shop vacuum. Anyone know the pros/cons over a shop vacuum and if it is worth it?
I just started my own pool company and I've noticed that each of the handful of pools I've gone to for estimates has had high levels of CYA 80-90 and the previous pool guy is using liquid chlorine as well as chlorine tablets to keep the levels up. I'm in South Florida and was planning to only use liquid chlorine to keep CYA in check but I'm worried that the chlorine will burn off within a week due to the rain and UV this time of year.
How are these pool guys using tablets every week? Are they draining the pools periodically? It's my understanding that draining pools in South Florida is a liability.
Also I've noticed that all the pools I've tested have low levels of calcium hardness, very low alkalinity and thus very low LSI/CSI. Don't pool companies keep these levels in check? I was under the impression that an LSI under -0.3 is corrosive for pool equipment.
