Service Industry News – By far the BEST industry publication

Service Industry News – by far the BEST industry publication. I am an instructor of the PHTA Certified Pool Operator course, and I tell all my students to subscribe to your publication.

I used to cut out (when it was newspaper-style), now I print out articles for my staff to read. It is a wealth of information for the pool and spa professional. Service Industry News is Real, Educational, and Informative. I have certain articles varying from Pool Stains; to Chlorine Generation; to Water Testing, placed all over my retail store aisles for our customers to read while they shop.

Education is key in our business of water, and your publication provides that. Continue your good work and great articles! Love your publication.

Regards,

Nicole Locey
