Check out our latest ‘Horror File’ entry

Welcome to the latest edition of our popular “Can You Top This?” column, featuring the newest entry in the Service Industry News “Horror File. ”

This issue’s entry comes to us from Steve Kay, of Caribbean Pool Service & Repair, in Torrance, California.

“Destined for the recycler…unless someone wants one for nostalgia sake. Then call me,” “But, seriously, if I can for just a moment; “These represent my YOUTH!!! My first pool had an Aquaflo 1.5 hp like the one here—-FORTY YEARS AGO!!! GAAAAAAAAA!!!

“No wonder I drink too much beer…(sigh)…”

If you do want Steve to rescue one of these beuts, look up his number in Torrance, California.

Other publications like to print lots of pretty pictures of beautiful pools, spas and well engineered installations.

At Service Industry News, we would rather go behind the scenes and take a closer look at the type of stuff our readers encounter everyday — cracked tiles, spaghetti plumbing, rats in heaters, cars in the pool, snakes in the plumbing, and more!

When you are out in the field and you see something that doesn’t look right, send us an email along with a picture and a brief description: Attention Horror File, serviceindustrynewscd@yahoo.com.
