Water Wars: The Real Story About Pools and Drought with Terry Arko

In this episode, I sit down with Terry Arko from HASA to talk about the hot topic on everyone’s mind—droughts and water usage. Are pools really water wasters? Terry breaks down the real numbers and explains why a well-maintained pool might actually conserve water compared to a traditional lawn. We also dig into the evolving drought restrictions and what they mean for pool pros in the field. This one’s full of eye-openers—and a few stats that will surprise you.
