Plumb Dumb: The Gen Z Pool Build Edition
Welcome back to the Talking Pools Podcast — where the water’s clear, but the talk can get rough. I’m Kelli, here with the man who can smell bad plumbing from a mile away, Dan.
This one’s from the vault, a throwback episode that still hits hard because, let’s be real — some things never change.
We’re revisiting one of the biggest frustrations for pool techs everywhere: having to replumb equipment pads on brand-new builds just to make them serviceable. You’d think “new” means “done right,” but too often it means twisted pipes, impossible fittings, and a layout that looks more like a maze than a mechanical system.
Kelli and Dan dig into why it happens, how it can be prevented, and what builders and service pros can do to stop this expensive, time-wasting headache before it starts.
So grab your coffee, toss the wrenches in the truck, and tune in — because this episode proves that bad plumbing never really goes out of style.
