Woof! How You (Yes, You!) Can Help Your Pool Tech Keep the Pool Paw-fect! 🐾🏊♂️
Hi fren!! 🐕 It’s me—your loyal backyard buddy and poolside lifeguard (okay, unofficially). I’ve been sniffin’ around and watching real close while the pool tech comes to work their magic. And lemme tell ya—they’re good. But even the best humans need a little help from their four-legged (or two-legged!) friends.
So I put together this tail-waggin' list of how you can make their job easier and keep our splash zone lookin’ shiny and fresh. Let’s do this! Tail wag intensifies.
1. Clear the Yard—Gotta Give ‘Em Space to Zoom!
Imagine tryin’ to do tricks with toys and chairs all over the place. That’s what it’s like for your pool tech when the area’s cluttered.
🪑 Move loungers and floaties
🌿 Trim the bushes (no squirrels allowed!)
🧸 Stash away pool toys and tennis balls (even if I love ‘em)
Make room so the tech can do their zoomies—I mean, their job!
2. Unlock the Gate—They’re Not Intruders, They’re Pack!
You know me—I bark at everyone. But I like the pool tech. They smell like chlorine and competence.
🔓 Unlock the gate before they arrive
📣 Tell ‘em the code if needed
🐶 Keep me inside or on leash—I get too excited!
Let’s not surprise them. Surprises are for treats, not service visits.
3. Let the Pump Run—Vrrrrrr, Music to My Ears!
The pump keeps the water movin’ like a good game of fetch. Still water? Boring. Moving water? ADVENTURE!
⏱️ Run the pump 8+ hours a day
⚠️ If it sounds weird, tell the pool tech! (I’ll bark about it too, just in case)
💧 Moving water = happy water!
4. Check the Water Level—Even I Know When It’s Low!
Too low? No bueno. The equipment gets cranky, and I can’t even get a good slurp.
💦 Water should be halfway up the skimmer
🚿 Top it off if it gets too low
🧐 If it keeps droppin', that’s a red flag—maybe a leak!
Help the tech help us keep our splash zone full.
5. Report Trouble—Be a Good Human
If the pool’s lookin’ green, smelling funky, or makin’ weird noises... that’s not normal. I may not be a chemist, but even I know that’s off.
📞 Call the tech
📸 Take a photo if you can
📬 Leave a note if you won’t be home
It’s like barking at a suspicious raccoon—don’t wait, just alert the squad!
6. Leave the Potions to the Pool Wizard
I know you wanna help. But if you add too much stuff, it throws everything off—even I can smell it.
🧪 Let the tech handle chemicals
☣️ Don't add shock or tablets unless they say it’s okay
💬 Text first if you're not sure—don't guess!
Too much “help” = one confused pool and one sad doggo.
7. Tidy Up Between Visits—Teamwork Makes the Dream Work!
You don’t have to go full service mode. Just a little daily love keeps things tail-waggin’ nice.
🍂 Scoop out leaves
🧺 Empty the skimmer baskets
🚫 Keep weird stuff out of the pool (no sticks, frogs, or chewed-up toys... my bad)
We all love the pool more when it’s ready for cannonballs!
Final Thoughts from Your Good Boy 🐾
Pools are for fun, family, and fetch—so let’s keep ‘em clean and happy! Your pool tech works hard to make it safe and beautiful, and with just a little help from you, it stays that way all season long.
So from one loyal friend to another:
Be kind. Be helpful. Keep the pool paw-fect. 🐶💙
And maybe… just maybe… toss a treat or two my way after?
