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 Dave Durkin of D & M Pool Spa Repair, in Pittsburg, California.
“10 years ago a friend made a heater assembly out of galvanized steel!,” writes Dave.
“It has completely coated the spa with rust! No bonding! No GFCI! It is a complete mess!
“After 46 in this business, I’ve never seen anything like it.”
Thank you, Dave. Did you happen to see the new column we started in this issue? It is a column devoted to pool and spa service techs and their questions about pools and spas and electricity. As an industry instructor on electricity, we hope you can use those questions in your class.
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.
