If you’ve ever stared at a test kit like it personally insulted your family… welcome home. Talking Pools Podcast is the pool industry’s “pull up a chair” show—part shop talk, part field manual, part therapy session—built for people who actually live on pool decks: commercial operators, service techs, builders, facility managers, and anyone responsible for water that can’t afford to go sideways. The network was created to level up the pool industry with real-world conversations on water chemistry, filtration, troubleshooting, construction, safety, and the business side of keeping pools open and budgets intact.  Here’s the hook: it’s not theory-first. It’s experience-first—a roster of seasoned pros (with 250+ years of combined “been there, fixed that” wisdom) turning complicated problems into practical moves you can use the same day.  And it’s not one voice, one vibe, one corner of the industry: it’s a network of shows designed to reflect how diverse this work really is—different regions, different specialties, different personalities.  Also worth saying out loud: women aren’t “special guests” here—they’re on the mic as hosts, from the beginning, with an intentionally balanced roster.  That matters, because the best ideas in this industry don’t come from one lane—they come from the whole road. If you want a podcast that can make you laugh and make you better at what you do—without pretending the job is easier than it is—Talking Pools is the one you queue up before the first stop, and keep on when the day starts getting weird.

    Miracle Pool Products

    Send us Fan Mail This week on Thursdays with Wayne and Steve, the guys take aim at “miracle” pool products, suspiciously cheap equipment, expired test reagents, and the growing number of online knockoffs promising professional results at bargain-basement prices. Wayne recalls some of the industry’s most memorable gimmicks—including magnets that supposedly made calcium disappear—and explains why words like “miracle cure” should immediately raise a red flag. Steve breaks down how he presents customers with equipment options, why an internet price is not always an apples-to-apples comparison, and what customers give up when they purchase off-brand replacement parts without professional support or a reliable warranty. During this episode’s Insurance Interlude, Steve and Pat Grenon examine a nightmare renovation in which an unlicensed contractor allegedly left chunks of concrete inside a pool’s plumbing. They discuss the homeowner’s possible options, the limits of homeowners insurance, and why asking to be named as an additional insured may provide valuable protection before a contractor begins work. Wayne also explains why heavily discounted test kits and reagents may not be the bargain they appear to be. Products sitting in warehouses or clearance bins can be years old, and expired reagents can produce unreliable results—even when the packaging looks perfectly legitimate. The conversation also covers customer communication, emergency-service pricing, protecting your profit margins, commercial-pool safety failures, and why treating people well remains the most effective marketing strategy in the pool business. Topics discussed include: Spotting “miracle product” scams and deceptive demonstrationsOEM equipment versus inexpensive aftermarket replacementsHow to explain equipment pricing and warranties to customersWhy professionals should charge more for emergency and weekend serviceIdentifying expired test kits, reagents, and test stripsThe risks of buying unusually cheap chemical-testing products onlineWhat happens when an unlicensed contractor damages a swimming poolHomeowners insurance and contractor-liability claimsWhy additional-insured status mattersConcrete and construction debris trapped inside pool plumbingDeveloping relationships with reliable leak-detection specialistsCommercial pools with dangerously low pH and alkalinityCloudy-water problems caused by filtration and operational failuresChanges within Leslie’s and what pool professionals should watchBuilding trust through honesty, education, and customer serviceWhy word-of-mouth remains the strongest form of marketingThe takeaway is simple: read the labels, check expiration dates, compare products carefully, document contractor work, and never assume that the cheapest option is actually the least expensive.

    Cold Plunge Myths: Dewey Case of the CMAHC Turns Up the Heat

    Send us Fan Mail Cold plunges and ice baths are appearing everywhere—from fitness centers and recovery facilities to wellness clinics, athletic programs, and luxury spas. But colder water does not automatically mean cleaner or safer water. In this episode of the Talking Pools Podcast, Natalie Hood is joined by Dewey Case, Technical Director for the Council for the Model Aquatic Health Code and Aquatics Coordinator for Williamson County Parks and Recreation in Tennessee. Dewey helped assemble the experts behind the new CMAHC Cold Water Venue Guidance. Together, he and Natalie separate cold-plunge facts from social-media fiction and explain why these increasingly popular venues require far more attention than a tub, a garden hose, and several bags of ice. They discuss why bacteria can survive in cold water, how lower temperatures can slow sanitizer performance, and why even a single user introduces sweat, body oils, cosmetics, urea, and microorganisms into the water. They also examine the much greater contamination burden created when a commercial system serves dozens—or potentially hundreds—of users each week. The conversation covers the risks associated with poorly maintained systems, including biofilm, Pseudomonas, swimmer’s ear, and the possibility of transferring gastrointestinal pathogens. They also explain why dunking your head into questionable cold-plunge water may be a particularly bad idea. In This Episode Why cold water does not sanitize itselfThe truth about bacteria and pathogens in cold plungesWhy “I’m the only person using it” does not eliminate water-quality concernsWhat sweat, cosmetics, clothing, and body oils add to the waterWhy users should shower before enteringThe risks of head submersion in poorly maintained waterHow biofilm and Pseudomonas can develop inside plumbing and on surfacesWhy commercial cold plunges are not simply oversized bathtubsHow high bather loads change filtration, sanitation, and maintenance demandsWhy cold-water chemistry can be more challenging than spa chemistryHow low temperatures affect chemical dissolution and disinfectionThe purpose of the new CMAHC Cold Water Venue GuidanceWhy proper operation, cleaning, and maintenance make cold-water immersion saferAs Dewey explains, a home cold plunge used by one person and a recirculating commercial venue serving hundreds of bathers are not the same thing. When the bather load changes, the operational practices must change with it. This episode is essential listening for pool professionals, aquatic operators, health officials, inspectors, facility managers, designers, builders, fitness-center owners, and anyone responsible for operating a commercial cold-water venue. She Swims So They Can Natalie is preparing to swim more than 21 miles across three open-water swimming marathons as part of the Tennessee Triple Crown Open Water Swim Challenge. Her campaign, She Swims So They Can, benefits Every Child a Swimmer and helps provide children with access to lifesaving swim lessons.

    Commercial Salt Chlorination: Safer, Smarter, and Built to Scale

    Send us Fan Mail On this episode of Mondays Down Under, Lee Salisbury and Nick are joined by AIS Water’s Lee Moore and Technical Director Blake for a deep dive into commercial saltwater chlorination. AIS Water has worked in salt chlorination for approximately 35 years, developing systems for everything from swim schools and splash parks to resorts, 50-meter competition pools, coastal pools, and enormous lagoons containing millions of liters of water. The conversation explores why more commercial aquatic facilities are moving toward onsite chlorine generation—and why their success depends on selecting actual commercial equipment, correctly sizing the system, and maintaining proper water chemistry. The three major benefits are convenience, safety, and long-term cost savings. Generating chlorine onsite can dramatically reduce the handling, storage, transportation, and manual transfer of liquid or granular chlorine. It can also reduce the risks associated with chemical spills, damaged dosing lines, incorrect chemical mixing, and chlorine gas entering an occupied pool. But not every “commercial salt system” is truly commercial. The guests discuss facilities that attempted to meet massive chlorine demand by plumbing together banks of residential chlorinators—including one installation containing an astonishing 95 residential units. Besides creating a maintenance nightmare, these improvised systems can introduce excessive head loss, restrict circulation, shorten cell life, and still fail to satisfy the pool’s chlorine demand. Proper sizing requires far more than knowing the pool’s volume. AIS Water considers actual peak bather load, water temperature, turnover rate, sunlight exposure, cyanuric acid use, environmental conditions, operating hours, and the facility’s location. Two pools of identical size—even pools located only a suburb apart—may require substantially different chlorine production capacities. And just when you thought pool chlorination could not get any stranger, the discussion turns to horse pools, seal enclosures, sea lions, natural salt contributions from swimmers, and one exceptionally important unanswered question: Just how much chlorine does a sea lion prefer? You will have to return next Monday for the conclusion. In this episode:  Why commercial aquatic facilities are adopting onsite chlorine generation  The safety risks associated with storing and manually transporting chlorine  How salt chlorination can reduce long-term operating costs  Why an electrolytic cell is a consumable—not a failed chlorinator  How commercial-grade anodes can provide significantly longer cell life  The difference between residential and commercial chlorination equipment  What happens when dozens of residential chlorinators are installed in one system  How excessive head loss can compromise circulation and turnover  Why peak bather load is critical when sizing a chlorinator  How sunlight, shade, temperature, rainfall, and surrounding buildings affect chlorine demand  Commercial systems ranging from low-salinity water to direct seawater  The unusual challenges of chlorinating pools for horses, seals, and sea lions Guests:  Lee Moore, Sales and Marketing, AIS Water  Blake, Technical Director, AIS Water Hosted by Lee Salisbury and Nick on Mondays Down Under, part of the Talking Pools Podcast network.

    Stop Selling the Bottle—Sell the Outcome

    Send us Fan Mail Specialty chemicals are not the enemy. Phosphate removers, enzymes, clarifiers, sequestrants, scale inhibitors, flocculants and stain treatments can all deliver real value—when they address an actual, diagnosed condition. In this episode of the Talking Pools Podcast, Rudy Stankowitz explains why the bottle should never become the protocol. Before adding any specialty chemical to a pool, service professionals should answer three questions:  Will it meaningfully benefit this customer?  Will it become a pain in the ass for me or my technicians?  Can my company make money providing the treatment? Rudy breaks down the hidden costs that are often ignored: return visits, filter cleaning, vacuuming, fuel, labor and the time required to explain an expected reaction to the customer. A $20 bottle is no longer a $20 treatment when it creates another hour of work. He also explains why specialty treatments should not automatically be buried inside a flat monthly service rate. Customers are not paying for possession of the bottle. They are paying for the professional who knows when to use it, how much to use, what conditions are required, what side effects to expect and what to do when the treatment does not behave as planned. The episode also includes a message honoring the 2026 Top Ten Pool Industry Mentors and Rudy’s final thoughts about his Reflecting Pool coating analysis reaching the White House—proof that sound technical work can matter far beyond the pool industry. In this episode  Why mentorship means teaching people to think—not creating dependence  How specialty chemicals establish added value  Why every treatment should begin with a diagnosed condition  The danger of mistaking a visible reaction for proof  When phosphate removal makes professional and financial sense  Why predictable follow-up work belongs in the treatment price  How flat-rate chemical inclusion can hide value and destroy profit  Why pool professionals should sell outcomes—not bottles  Separating chemical problems from circulation, filtration and equipment problems  Why chemistry and physics remain unchanged by politics The three-question specialty chemical test  Will it benefit the customer?  Will it become a pain in the ass for me?  Can I make money on it? Specialty chemicals are tools—not miracles, substitutes for proper maintenance or acts of absolution for neglected pools.

    Cold Plunges, Pool Inspections, and Where the Industry Is Headed

    Send us Fan Mail Show NotesThis week, Steve and Wayne tackle two timely topics affecting the swimming pool industry. First, Steve discusses a growing number of calls from homeowners who find themselves trapped in construction projects with missed deadlines, questionable workmanship, and uncertainty about what to do next. The conversation explores the challenges of residential pool inspections, the gray areas of building codes, and why hiring an independent expert isn't always as straightforward as it sounds. The second half of the episode takes a deep dive into the newly released Model Aquatic Health Code (MAHC) Cold Water Venue Guidance. With cold plunges becoming increasingly popular in homes, gyms, spas, and athletic facilities, Steve and Wayne explain why industry guidance is needed, how it is developed, and what pool professionals should understand about water quality, sanitation, filtration, and safety. In This Episode Why homeowners are increasingly seeking independent pool inspections during construction.The challenges of enforcing residential pool codes compared to commercial pools.What homeowners should expect before pursuing construction disputes.Understanding the role—and limitations—of expert inspections.The new Model Aquatic Health Code Cold Water Venue Guidance explained.How MAHC guidance is developed through industry collaboration and scientific review.Why "guidance" is different from law or regulation.Safety recommendations for cold plunge users, including age and health considerations.Why colder water changes the speed of chemical reactions.Challenges of maintaining proper sanitizer levels in very small cold-water vessels.Why many professional athletic organizations simply dump and refill cold plunge water rather than attempting to filter it.Lessons learned from servicing cold plunge systems used by professional sports teams.The importance of proper maintenance as cold plunges become more common in homes.The growing need for practical standards as cold-water therapy enters the mainstream.Key Takeaways Residential pool inspections often involve significant gray areas compared to commercial construction.Expert opinions can identify deficiencies, but correcting them may still require negotiation or litigation.Cold plunges present unique operational challenges because of their small water volume and low temperatures.Lower water temperatures slow chemical reactions, making sanitation more complicated than many people realize.Proper water management is just as important in a cold plunge as it is in a swimming pool.As cold-water therapy grows in popularity, industry guidance will play an increasingly important role in protecting public health.Featured Discussion The MAHC's New Cold Water Guidance Steve and Wayne explain why the Council for the Model Aquatic Health Code developed guidance for cold plunge facilities, how recommendations are reviewed by subject-matter experts, and why science—not social media trends—should drive industry best practices. Behind the Scenes with Professional Sports Drawing from firsthand experience servicing facilities for NFL, NHL, NBA, and MLS organizations, Steve shares how professional teams maintain therapy pools, cold plunges, and rehabilitation equipment—and why sanitation protocols are often much more aggressive than many people expect.

    Mondays Down Under – LaMotte, Water Testing, and Why Professional Testing Matters (Part 2)

    Send us Fan Mail What separates a professional pool service company from someone simply adding chemicals? In Part 2 of this special Mondays Down Under discussion, Lee Salisbury and Nick dive deeper into professional water analysis with the team from LaMotte, discussing why consistent, accurate testing is one of the biggest differences between average pool care and true water management. The conversation explores the value of the WaterLink® Spin system, reducing user error, interpreting test results correctly, common mistakes professionals make after shocking a pool, and why understanding chemistry matters far more than simply reading numbers off a report. Whether you're running a retail store, servicing residential pools, or maintaining commercial aquatic facilities, this episode is packed with practical advice that can improve both your water quality and your bottom line. In This Episode  Why experience matters just as much as chemistry knowledge  Learning to interpret water test results—not just read them  Why every unusual water test should make you ask more questions  How customer conversations often solve water chemistry mysteries  When to consult technical support or laboratory analysis  Why professional testing equipment pays for itself  Reducing user error with automated water testing  The business case for investing in better testing equipment  Saving time while improving customer service  Comparing photometric testing to traditional reagent testing  Why complete water analysis is more valuable than testing only chlorine and pH  Protecting pools through proper water balance  "It's easier to keep it clean than bring it back from green." Technical Topics Covered  WaterLink Spin technology  Photometric water testing  Traditional liquid reagent testing  Test repeatability and consistency  Eliminating sample contamination  Proper sample volume  Test accuracy versus operator technique  Water balance fundamentals  Customer communication during water analysis  Laboratory troubleshooting  Commercial pool testing  Residential pool testing Common Testing Mistakes Discussed  Misinterpreting zero alkalinity after shocking a pool  Understanding the effects of chlorine above 15 ppm  Why high chlorine can produce misleading alkalinity readings  Using high-range chlorine test strips for confirmation  Running additional tests on the same high-chlorine sample  Recognizing when the instrument is giving you an indicator—not a bad result Best Practices  Use professional-grade testing equipment  Perform complete water analysis whenever possible  Verify unusually high chlorine levels before making chemical adjustments  Store Spin Discs properly  Reseal foil packaging after every use  Protect discs from moisture and light  Understand shelf life after opening  Train technicians to recognize abnormal test patterns  Build testing costs into your professional service Commercial Aquatic Facility Discussion The episode also covers:  Daily health department testing requirements  Three-test commercial Spin Discs  Testing multiple water bodies  Managing public pool safety  Protecting swimmers through accurate testing  Creating efficient testing workflows for aquatic facilities Key Takeaways Professional water testing isn't about owning expensive equipment—it's about making better decisions. Accurate testing saves time, improves customer confidence, reduces costly mistakes, and helps protect both swimming pools and the people using them. Understanding what your test results are actually telling you is every bit as important as obtaining the numbers themselves.

    Everybody Blamed the Hydrogen Peroxide... But What Did It Really Do to Trump's Reflecting Pool?

    Send us Fan Mail When the National Park Service added hydrogen peroxide to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, the internet immediately decided it had found the culprit behind the peeling coating. But science doesn't work that way. In this episode, Rudy Stankowitz takes a research-first approach to one of the most discussed pool stories of the year. Instead of asking whether hydrogen peroxide caused a coating failure, he asks a different question: Why was hydrogen peroxide chosen in the first place? Drawing from published scientific literature on cyanobacteria, harmful algal blooms, microbiology, biofilms, and water treatment, Rudy explores how hydrogen peroxide affects microorganisms, why mature biofilms are so difficult to eliminate, and why swimming pool professionals may need to rethink the way they've approached "black algae" for decades. This isn't a product pitch. It isn't a treatment recommendation. And it certainly isn't clickbait. It's an evidence-based discussion designed to separate what science has demonstrated from what still remains a hypothesis. The episode also introduces the first part of Rudy's proposed research protocol—a hypothesis assembled from published mechanisms that has not been validated in controlled swimming pool research—and explains exactly where established science ends and new investigation begins. If you're tired of opinions masquerading as facts, this episode is for you. In This Episode Why the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was treated with hydrogen peroxideWhy concentration matters more than percentageCorrelation versus causation in coating failuresWhat published research says about hydrogen peroxide and cyanobacterial bloomsThe difference between free-floating algae and mature cyanobacterial biofilmsHow extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) protect biofilmsWhy oxidants often struggle against established biofilmsThe biology behind oxidative stressPhotosystem II, lipid peroxidation, and cellular damage explainedWhy mature biofilms deserve to be studied separatelyWhy Rudy believes better questions lead to better scienceThe first step in a proposed research protocol using aluminum sulfateWhy coagulation and physical removal may reduce oxidant demand before disinfectionWhere the published literature ends—and where hypothesis generation beginsKey Takeaway Science advances by asking better questions—not by rushing to conclusions. This episode doesn't claim to have solved black algae. It challenges listeners to examine what the published research actually supports, recognize the limits of current knowledge, and think critically about where future swimming pool research should go.
