The Little Pump That Couldn’t

Let’s be honest—some of the equipment we run into on route looks like it’s been holding on since the '80s. In this episode, I’m talking all about undersized and outdated pool equipment—how to work around it, when to push for an upgrade, and how to communicate the value of modernizing without sounding pushy. Whether it’s an old single-speed pump or a tiny filter choking a 25,000-gallon pool, I’ll share tips I’ve picked up in the field to make these tough setups a little easier—and help you build trust with your customers while nudging them toward a better system.
