The pool creates an at-home oasis, encourages exercise, and offers hours of fun. However, no one buys pools to become experts in water chemistry. The pool was all fun and games at first, but over time, it might lose its luster.
That’s where the pool service professional comes in! Upgrades not only increase your bottom line, they can rebuild the relationship between customers and their pools. It is possible to rekindle that romance. You can start small, and then go all the way … to a serious upgrade.
My pool isn’t what it used to be! (Simple Improvements go a long way)
Looking for comfort? Consider swapping out plain-Jane inground spa returns for real therapy jets. Adding a new massage therapy system to in-ground spas is very easy. Look for interchangeable styles that thread in to customize spa designs for your customer.
Pool owners probably didn’t picture how white fittings would look against the spectacular blue finish they painstakingly chose. Color-matched fittings easily improve the overall look of a pool. Color-coordinated faceplates and drain covers create a seamless appearance with little effort.
Heavy-duty baskets are another quick and easy upgrade customers can truly appreciate. Their durability alone makes it worth the swap. This simple change can completely improve the day-to-day experience of a pool owner.
This pool is hard to maintain! (Just add salt)
Salt-chlorine generators are one of the most common pool upgrades. Adding salt systems is relatively simple, and pool owners will appreciate a more comfortable swim experience.
The chlorine generator is easier to maintain and gives the water a softer feel. In addition, there is no more need to keep buckets of tabs around the house, something everyone will enjoy.
My pool can make me sick? (Next-generation advanced sanitizers)
These top-shelf upgrades win back pool owners’ hearts ten-fold by creating comfortable, crystal clear, clean water with the added benefit of lower overall chemical usage. Customers will appreciate knowing their family is safe from nasty bugs like cryptosporidium that cause severe intestinal issues.
Ultraviolet light disinfects microorganisms at the DNA level. They reduce chloramines and have no effect on water balance. Well-designed UV systems are convenient and install directly in line with the pool system.
You’re probably most familiar with ozone systems. Pioneers like DEL Ozone have been around since 1975. Ozone is an oxidizer, so it literally destroys contaminants. Ozone kills pathogens, microorganisms and other contaminants in pools through oxidation.
Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP) is a 1-2 punch combo of ozone and UV-C. Powerful hydroxyl radicals are produced that oxidize contaminants and destroy microorganisms in the pool. Out of all three options, AOP has the capability to lower overall chlorine usage the most. Add a certified AOP unit to a pool and in a week, you may not even recognize the water.
With more people staying home, pool upgrades definitely have the potential to boost your company’s sales and your customers’ morale. Offer add-ons that make customers fall in love with their pool all over again. They might be so grateful to you they stick with you for life.
