There is a new product on the market called Cover Free. It is an engineered patented formula that creates a thin layer on the surface of the water that lowers your heating and chemical costs by minimizing evaporation and water loss due to evaporation. It is easily added to the pool or spa by pouring it directly in the water or adding it to the skimmer. The manufacturer recommends adding 4 oz per week for every 675 square feet of surface area.

Cover Free creates an invisible cover that may be even more effective than traditional covers without all the hassles. Traditional covers pose a number of problems. First they must be rated to support a certain amount of weight. Second they must be removed in order to enjoy the pool or spa. Third they lose their benefits when removed. And fourth they create the possibility of someone or their pets becoming entrapped underneath them.

Cover Free creates a nearly imperceptible cover on the surface of the water. It presses out of the way when someone jumps in the water and springs back into place to maintain the integrity of the shield. Usually about ninety five percent of heat energy is lost. Most heat lost (about one half) occurs through evaporation from the surface of the water. All of that water lost must be replaced and water retreated so there should be significant savings in water, heat, and chemicals needed to keep water balanced, heated, and disinfected.

Making Your Job Much Easier

1) Line up Quality Vendors. Talk is cheap but quality is priceless. Watch for vendors that care and are into what they do. Craftsmanship may seem a lost art but it does still exist.

2) Keep prices competitive. Paying more doesn’t mean you will get a better job anymore. Once upon a time it did. It still can but it is rare.

3) Encourage their performance. When you do find quality, value their work with more work and appropriate pay. Recognize extra efforts. Give them opportunities to bid for other jobs.

4) They must understand that results are not an option. We must understand that results are not an option. Our employers certainly understand that results are not an option. Our customers hope that results are not an option.

5) Line up jobs and line up bids. List all the most common repairs needed at your property and develop plans of action. Recognize the jobs that will cost you much less time, effort and money, to do in house. Determine which jobs will save you the most time, energy, and money to vend out. Make sure you are getting apples to apples bids. The more you understand about needed repairs, the easier time you will have developing a plan. The better plans you develop the easier you can communicate it to your vendors. The better you communicate the better chance your vendors will have of meeting your expectations.

6) Keep a running wish list for capital improvements.

7) Research better solutions for the problems that plague you. Develop a jig if possible or a template to make jobs that must be repeated much easier.

8) Keep a running list of supplies and parts needed. This way when you do order parts and supplies, you don’t forget anything.

9) Develop and Implement the best preventative maintenance program you can. When you prevent things from going wrong in bulk, life becomes so much easier. Developing an understanding of the challenges at your property and building up solutions will save you countless headaches.

Experience can be tough but when you learn from it difficulty will be less on in. Think strategically. Recycle your tough experiences into hitting first where it counts.
