the atmospheric pressure, a clean cannister will register 14 PSI, an oldtimer rule of thumb.

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.

All things Aquaticssupporting pools and the staff/people who love them

This public group exists to have open discussions for all things pool, from home pool safety and drowning prevention activities and programs to how to maximize the value of your fitness center pool.

It exists to support those with home pools and those who work in and around aquatic facilities. Whatever you have questions about, are proud of, or just want to vent — that’s what this group was made to provide — a place to just “talk pools.”

Discussion topics range from keeping homes or local pools safer and preventing drownings to dealing with no budget as an aquatic leader, and much more. It’s a public group administered by Wesley King and has 1,314 members.
