As property managers, we have a lot on our plate. Taking care of a body of water may be one of them. There is so much that goes into maintaining a swimming pool. We need to maintain the equipment. We need the proper safety equipment. We need proper safety signage. We need adequate circulation. Most importantly, we need proper water chemistry and logging.

We, as pool operators and property managers, have a lot we are responsible for. One of the many things could include a swimming pool and/or spa. You may also have a splash pad, fountains, or a water slide. According to the local health agency, these all need to be tested and have the chemicals balanced.

We as pool operators have a lot on our plates. Many of you have multiple properties. Many of you have job requirements other than maintaining the pool. Safety is our number one concern. What happens if someone claims to have gotten ill from your body of water? We need to be protected. This comes from proper water chemistry and proper logging of results.

As commercial pool operators, you have a lot on our to-do lists. Some of you manage multiple bodies of water. Some of you take care of the entire property, not just the swimming pool.

We, as pool operators, have a lot to worry about when it comes to our swimming pools. We have to keep the chemicals balanced. We have to follow safety regulations. We have to test and log our results. This can be a lot especially if taking care of the swimming pool is not our only responsibility and if we manage multiple properties. As always, safety is our number one priority.
