Show Notes
Today, we're diving into a topic that every pool pro needs to take seriously—protecting yourself when tackling a nasty green pool clean-up. We all know these jobs can be unpredictable. One minute you're skimming algae, and the next, you're dealing with broken equipment, hidden structural damage, or even a frustrated homeowner who forgets what they signed up for.
That’s why having a solid waiver in place is a game-changer. Before I even dip my test kit in the water, I make sure my client signs off on exactly what to expect. A green pool is never a one-and-done situation—it takes time, multiple treatments, and sometimes unexpected repairs. A waiver protects you from liability and sets clear expectations.
