The Worst-Engineered Pool Products Ever Made
from The Pool Guy Podcast Show · host David Van Brunt
Not every product in the pool industry hits the mark. In this episode, I call out some of the worst-engineered pool products I’ve run across over the years. From the awkwardly placed Pentair drain plug that turns a simple job into a wet mess, to the unreliable Hayward NorthStar pump, to costly and failure-prone in-floor cleaning systems, I’ll break down why these products cause more headaches than they solve.Send us Fan MailSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!
