CAN YOU TOP THIS?

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 Jeff Kirsch of Kirsplash Pools, in Lake City, Florida.

“After putting a new 5 hp 3 phase commercial pump on Friday we came back on Monday to this mess,” writes Jeff “Note the turbulence caused by the motor running underwater.”

What a mess indeed Jeff. This is a job for super sump pump. Take a look at the Show N Tell column on page 21 in this issue and look at Frank Wall Enterprises.

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.
