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 EJ Wrzesinski of Pools Patios and Porches in Frederick, Maryland.

“This picture was taken on site at a new pool owners home. He did not want to get the polaris dirty so he sat it on his heater after cleaning the bag”, writes Dave.

“I came out for a service call the next day and found the entire Polaris melted down laying on the heater. Needless to say that will be the last time he ever puts his Polaris on a heater. “

Thank you EJ. 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.
