Sin embargo, contar con protocolos claros, programas de capacitación estructurados y recordatorios diarios ayuda a fortalecer la cultura de seguridad de un equipo y permite que los técnicos trabajen de forma más segura y protegida.

The Automation Advantage
Automation has become an integral part of our lives, yet its full potential in marketing is still emerging. For many in the pool industry, automation is becoming a valuable tool for efficiency, client care and sales growth.
Austin Gardiner, 37
For Austin Gardiner, the pool industry has been both a career and a calling. He started as a technician for his father’s company, later branching out as a sole proprietor. In those early years, he not only ran service routes but also honed his repair skills, often contracting part time for companies that didn’t handle repairs in-house. More recently, he has specialized in pool system setups, putting his technical knowledge to work programming and labeling new pools for efficiency and longevity.

Let’s face it: These days, businesses are expensive to run. With inflation rising, tariffs looming and laborers seeking higher wages, sometimes a business can feel like an endless money pit.

New tariffs on imported pool equipment are reshaping the industry, leading to rising costs, supply chain uncertainty and a push for smarter strategies from pool professionals and homeowners.
