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 James Sankey Jr. of Sankey Pools in Jamison, PA.

“Please note that the 12/2 UF is SOLID wire and crimp connectors are not suitable wire termination/ connection means for SOLID wire.

“Note the pool bonding wire that was “found” was in the leaves”.

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: Just for fun, and to entice more submissions, Service Industry News announces a Horror File contest. We will give one award per region represented. There are 7 regions. Look back at the June 1st 2024 edition on page 11 to find your region. Winners announed Dec. 15, 2025.
