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 Randy Mahler of Maryville Pool and Spa Care, in Maryville, Tennessee.

“This is what you get when the Mason installs the equipment. Not very serviceable, it’s a nightmare just to clean the filters.”

This is a remarkable equipment room. With proper labels it is a pool man's work of art.

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 to info@serviceindustrynews.net or click the website below to upload to the Submit your Horror File at Serviceindustrynews.net.
