Stan Snyder- owner

Stan the Pool Man keeps our inky-dinky-do pool clean and looking sparkly. 

Why Stan?  Well aside from the fact that he and his wife Sharon are just really wonderful people (and good dancers!) One of the things that sets Stan apart is that after those storms that blow everything around your yard he does clean up without extra charges.  That is nice when you have 3 weeks of really bad weather and you don't end up with a huge bill or a green pool.  Of course for us it is critical that the pool is photo ready at any time so this is a big deal for us.  He also cleans the main filter twice a year, something I didn't know had to be done- good thing he did!

Cool tips for Your Pool Care too!  In case your husband is going to try and maintain that pool yourself (yes, mine did and I had to fire him- great hubby not so great pool boy!) here are some great tips to help out!
