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 Bill O'Kelly of Superior Pool Products in Cordova, Tennessee.

“Just sending an interesting photo from one of our customers,” writes Bill.

“Looks like the thermal overload may not have functioned as planned. Won’t seem to prime either.”

We have never had a horror file like this Bill! Thank you for sending it in, and you are number 8 in our contest.

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!

And now, just for fun,when you submit your Horror File you are automatically entered into our Horror File contest. We will give one award per region represented. There are 7 regions. No. Cal., So. Cal., Florida, North East, South East, South West, and Mid West. The winner will receive a prize and their submission will run in the 1215-25 edition.

Send your submission today along with a brief description to: info@serviceindustrynews.net.
