The casual approach to these podcast episodes will give you special insight into the subjects discussed far more than reading a technical article ever could. Each podcast epidose is elementary enough for the average pool owner to follow, but goes deep enough for experienced pool technicians to learn from them as well. It is easy to tell when someone is passionate about a subject and Swimming Pool Steve is definitely passionate about pools and spas, but also about helping you to understand how to use yours better, how to make it cost less, and how to make it last as long as possible.
