Part 2 of Frank and guest Greg Leschber discuss common regrets pool owners have shared with them.
Continuing with water features from episode 92. Greg brings up how pool owners have regretted not having a separate dedicated pump for the water features on their pool. A separate pump allows you to run the features during spa mode or at any time.
Deck jets. Frank is not a fan of deck jets. He has had several pool owners tell him that deck jets did not deliver the bang for the buck that he envisioned. They are loud, and they affect pH.
Frank and Greg talked about the obvious regret some pool owners have about not knowing how to properly winterize their pool equipment during a freeze emergency in areas that do not typically winterize. The lack of a proper pool school, or paying attention during pool school is a common regret we see from pool owners.
Many pool owners find that adding a hot tub to their pool is a waste for them. Some love their spas, but many do not use their spa enough to justify the extra cost.
Large rock waterfalls, rock below the waterline, not having a separate feature pump, and choice of stones are all common regrets we hear from pool owners.
Saltwater chlorine generation systems are not a great choice for everyone or for every area. Many pool owners realize they have unreasonable expectations of the ease, care, maintenance, and results they receive from their saltwater pool systems. Many pool people find managing water balance in a salt pool more difficult.
