and more expensive repairs. In-season pool closures waiting for repair parts are far more common now. Over the last year, the industry has seen chemical shortages and price spikes. Items that are used regularly may be hard to get or require substi tutions. This all affects how and when pool companies can solve a mechan ical issue at the pool. If a repair part is not available, the company may need to replace an entire component or do additional plumbing to make an alternative pool pump fit into the filter system. The cost of chemicals and supplies is rising in a way that cannot be predicted at the moment. Expect to see quotes with time and materials la carte and with short expiration dates. Otherwise, contractors may find a profitable job become a dog as a function of delayed approvals. Securing your pool vendor by the end of each calendar year is a healthy way to prepare for the next season. Last year many communities who wanted to “leave their options open” ended up left in the cold for the pool season. Earlier decisions allow your pool professionals more time to recruit and hire on your behalf. It also allows them to better plan for operations and have the confidence to bring in appropriate inventories. When it comes to repairs and ren ovations, leave extra time for work to be done.
