“When I started, they just dropped me in to taking care of the pool, they said ‘take care of it’, and I didn’t know anything.”
We hear this at quite a few hotels. Given that what we might actually hear is just a fraction of reality, we can extrapolate that this is a situation that is probably very widespread. We hear it too in so many other public and commercial aquatics facilities. The theme? The management attitude that “It’s just a pool.”
Mismanaged facilities can end up costing quite a lot. Besides the liability potential, there will be increased operating and maintenance expenses as well. We’ve seen it when we’re called to supply a heater to replace one that’s been corroded out. Heaters shouldn’t corrode. If they do, you’re doing something wrong.
Noxious odors? Customer complaints of burning eyes? Cloudy water? Have a broken drain cover? Manage them or suffer from increased costs and more liability. (Speaking of Drain Covers – you know they have a limited life, right? Usually 5 years, though some drain covers are rated for 7 years life. And, just because a new cover “fits” doesn’t mean it’s legal for use on your drain.) Details, details, details.
There are other costs too – public relations costs. Customer complaints, bad reviews on travel sites, social media comments, “1-stars”, and other public feedback can drive away business. “Not knowing” will cost your business.
