Alternatives to Seasonal Draining of a Pool
Historically, when larger pools have been closed for the season, they have been completely drained, and allowed to remain empty until the next season. I would like to encourage re-thinking that method, and offer a few suggestions to either protect the pool better, or utilize it more.
Tips For Marketing a Home with a Pool
Swimming pools!! What is the first thing that comes to your mind? It’s beautiful—it’s gorgeous! I know who will want to buy it. Or, it’s nice, but will it help or hinder the sale. That depends largely on the way it is perceived and presented by you.
Curt Straub of Aquatic Consultants provides: Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Negotiation, Mediation, Arbitration Services
Dispute mediation is a conflict resolution method that involves a neutral third party, called a mediator, who helps the disputing parties reach a collaborative agreement on their own. Curt Straub can act as a mediator to facilitate negotiations, and he can help define and help both parties understand the issues, to assist and encourage creative problem-solving, to resolve issues between pool contractors, homeowner, and/or commercial entities. The process is non-binding, meaning the parties must voluntarily agree to recommended resolutions, and it is typically less formal, faster, and less costly than arbitration or litigation in a courtroom.

Curt Straub of Aquatic Consultants Provides Support When Navigating the ADA’s Requirements for Pool Owners

The rule was scheduled to take effect in 2012, but implementation was extended to January 31, 2013, to avoid closure of pools around the country as owners scrambled to interpret and comply with the regulations.
