Balancing Pools Like a Pro with James Smith
from The Pool Guy Podcast Show · host David Van Brunt
On today’s episode, I’m joined by James Smith, Registered Nurse, Certified Pool Operator, and the mind behind the Pool Pro Training Course at Homestead Pool Services. James brings a unique background—combining years of clinical nursing with hands-on pool care—to teach pros how to truly understand water chemistry. We talk about why so many pool techs struggle with pH, alkalinity, LSI, and borates, and how his 2-hour online crash course distills advanced science into simple, practical solutions for the field. James also shares why he offers a double-your-money-back guarantee, how he helps pool pros troubleshoot in real time, and what makes this program stand apart from everything else out there. If you’ve ever wanted to sharpen your chemistry game and save money while delivering perfect water, this is the episode to listen to.Take the course here: https://www.homesteadpoolservices.com/pool-pro-trainingSend us Fan MailSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!
