Hampe says that the group is where you can go after work and talk about your day. “Whether it’s about pools or not, we have similar lives, so we have similar issues,” he said.

Members of the club talk about pools, but they talk about other things as well, and they keep it casual – not everything is PG. But they do try to keep politics out of it.

It is an outlet for pool people to ask questions, post projects they are proud of, gain information, post research, and if they want to let off a little steam about work problems, they can do so there.

Members post about equipment error codes, plaster cracks, vinyl liner maintenance, and usually get answers within about 30 minutes.

Members say the best part about groups like this is that they can learn a lot about fields that they don’t necessarily deal with all the time, such as remodels and construction.

And frequently, members can get their problems solved faster on the group page than the amount of time it takes waiting on hold for a manufacturer’s rep.
