After the Accident, the Pool Is Evidence | Pool Safety and Incident Records (opens the original)
Read excerpt
From ten feet away, a pool looks ordinary. Blue water. Pumps running. Numbers in a logbook. Then somebody gets hurt, and that same facility starts getting read like a record. This episode is not about how an accident happens. It is about what happens after. Why witness recollections differ. Why a routine logbook can become a timeline. Why a temporary setup can start looking like a decision. Why an inspection is a snapshot, not a warranty. And why a system that works after it has been repaired do
Texas Pool Electrical Work: The RAIL License We Don’t Talk About Enough (opens the original)

Read excerpt
What if your green pool isn’t really a “green pool problem” at all? This week on Pool Envy , we go way past the usual “it’s hot, add more chlorine” advice and into what’s actually happening inside the water. Why can algae show up even when the pool tests like it has chlorine? What role does CYA really play? Why can poor circulation create opportunities for growth?
