I’m here with Holly Colasurdo from Pool Doctor of the Palm Beaches.<br> Holly: Hello.<br> Elizabeth: How are you doing, Holly?<br> Holly: We’re good. We’re good, thank you.<br> Elizabeth: Yes, we’ve got the holidays. Oh my goodness. They are almost here.<br> Holly: They’re here.<br> Elizabeth: Just a few weeks away in the US for Thanksgiving and I just can’t believe that this year has gone so quickly.<br> Holly: I know. It’s unbelievable. The older we get the faster it goes.<br> Elizabeth: Make it slow down. Definitely make it slow down. Let’s talk about that. Let’s get our podcast listeners ready for their pool and the holidays.<br> Holly: Yeah, pool and the holidays.<br> Elizabeth: What are some of the services that Pool Doctor offers or their pool company can do to help them prepare because we’re doing the decorations. We’re getting the house in order.<br> Holly: Right.<br> Elizabeth: Let’s get that …<br> Holly: Along with your regular pool service … it’s a little windy here in Florida and the leaves start blowing as we can say our palm fronds are blowing around. Some of the trees that we have that blow some of the holiday leaves can get in the pool as well. A lot of clients do call and, oh we have some leaves in the pool. We’ll go out and make sure we pick those up, so they can entertain.<br> Elizabeth: Maybe a little extra cleaning …<br> Holly: Yeah, a little extra cleaning. We do offer acid wash or cleaning the decks, whatever a client needs …<br> Elizabeth: Nice, get that good clean pressure cleaning so that they don’t have to pay somebody else to do it. That’s wonderful.<br> Holly: Yeah. We do a lot of different things. Let’s see. Aside from cleaning the pool and testing the chemicals. A lot of our clients are now coming down from the Northeast.<br> Elizabeth: Yes, burr.<br> Holly: When they do like to have their pool ready for all their holiday entertaining. Needless to say, we’re crazy busy this time of year. We also … this time of year, people do come and visit their older loved ones. Having a lot more visitors, it’s probably a good idea to get the chemicals tested and make sure everything’s balanced. If the pool is going to be getting more activity from visitors than they normally have, just to make sure that everything is 100% … right, especially if they’re heating the pool. It could get really cold in Florida and the people love to keep their pool water like bath water.<br> Elizabeth: Yes. I’m one of them.<br> Holly: … especially our older clients. With company, as long as they’re getting their weekly service their pool should maintain itself.<br> Elizabeth: The balance.<br> Holly: Yes. If it looks odd, we measure with the chemicals anyway. We do that at every service but other than that, the cool weather does bring a little reprieve and without a lot of bodies in the pool at this time there’s not really many chemicals you have to add, if any. Everybody’s different.<br> Elizabeth: Just get it tested to make sure. My favorite so far is that pressure cleaning because I didn’t know a pool company would pressure clean my decks. I found somebody else to do that and that just … it easier to know somebody already who I already trust and have come out already to say hey can you just stop over and do this extra service.<br> Holly: Right.<br> Elizabeth: Let’s talk about the holidays, the fun part. Thanksgiving is a lot of cooking. Hanukkah, you’ve got eight wonderful days and then Christma...
