A pool company does make a difference. I recently switched after 10 years with the same pool guy. The former guy got lazy. What a difference! I have two labs that swim year round so they shed a lot. I would always see hair even after the pool guy came, nuts. Not anymore! Can’t believe the difference. Plus he even plays w the dogs!!! It’s like having a pet sitter once a week. If you want a great looking pool year round you need to switch to Golden Bear! And he was $10 cheaper a month! That’s a new dog toy! Dogs win again!!
