We’re excited to welcome Len Gordon to The Grit Game lineup. Because the best product ideas are often the ones that make you wonder why they did not exist sooner.

Meet the Len Gordon the world's first Smart PVC Fitting: a 2" PVC fitting with the line identification molded directly into the fitting itself.

Pool Return. Spa Drain. Cleaner. Waterfall. Skimmer.

No faded stickers.
No handwritten labels wearing off.
No guessing what goes where when a system needs service years later.

Just a cleaner, more professional equipment pad that is easier to understand, easier to service, and built with the next pool pro in mind.

It is a small detail that makes the entire install look more intentional.

American-made. Professionally labeled. Built to last.

Contact your local Grit Game rep to learn more about Len Gordon Smart PVC Fittings. Because a professional equipment pad should not leave anyone guessing.

A long time industry veteran, David Hawes from H&H Pool Services, sharing pearls of wisdom here. But what do you think? More pools or more profit?

Curious what everyone’s actually seeing out there 👇
At what point did adding more pools STOP increasing your profit?

Was it:

Route inefficiency
Labor costs
Missed details / callbacks
Pricing not keeping up

Or… did you figure it out and scale profitably?

There’s a lot of noise around “just get more pools”…
…but some of the best operators we know are running 80–100 pools, dialed in, and making great money.

So what’s been your experience?
Where did growth start helping—or hurting—your business?

Your pool company’s uniform is not just a shirt.
It is a first impression, a trust signal, a moving billboard, part of your brand.

For pool service professionals, pool builders, and pool renovators, the right uniform can help your team look more professional, stay more comfortable in the field, and make your company easier to recognize in the neighborhoods you already serve.

Join Watershape University for a free live webinar:
Uniforms and Branding for Pool Companies
May 27, 2026 | 9AM PT / 12PM ET
Presented by Jen and Don Douglas of RevdUp Apparel

This class will cover how professional uniforms can help swimming pool companies build trust, improve team accountability, protect technicians from the demands of outdoor work, and turn everyday service visits into local brand exposure.

RevdUp’s approach focuses on performance work shirts, durable branding, moisture-wicking fabric, UV/SPF protection, chemical resistance, custom design support, and easy online ordering for teams. Their model is built to remove the usual headaches around uniforms, sizing, inventory, and fulfillment.

Pool pros already spend every day in the field.
This class will show you how to make that visibility work harder for your business.

Register for the Watershape University free webinar at https://na2.hubs.ly/H05J2930 and learn how to turn your uniforms into a smarter branding tool.

Do you have a saltwater pool? Then yes, you need* Pepper.

Salt pools still need routine shock. The problem is, most salt pools do not get shocked often enough because traditional shock adds more chlorine to a system that is already making* chlorine.

Salt systems already generate chlorine through the salt cell. The bigger problems in salt pools are often:

High pH
Scale buildup on the salt cell
Organics in the water
Phosphates
Generator overuse
Cloudy water from poor oxidation

Pepper is different because it is a non-chlorine oxidizer made for saltwater pools.

It helps:
✔️ Reduce scale on salt cells
✔️ Stabilize pH
✔️ Break down organics
✔️ Keep water clear
✔️ Reduce stress on the generator
✔️ Help the system run more efficiently

A quick weekly dose can make a big difference in how your salt pool looks, feels, and performs.

Salt pools already make chlorine.

So instead of constantly adding more chlorine shock, Pepper gives the pool what it really needs: oxidation, scale control, pH support, and help reducing stress on the salt cell.

Have salt? You need Pepper.

DON'T MISS OUT! FREE EVENT HAPPENING WEDNESDAY!

Your crew is already wearing a shirt to every job site.
The question is: is that shirt actually working for your business?

Every service stop, pool build, renovation walkthrough, supply house run, and neighborhood drive-by is a chance for your team to look more professional, feel more comfortable, and make your company easier to remember.

That is why this free class matters.

• UV-protective gear for long days in the sun
• Moisture-wicking, breathable fabric that helps crews stay cooler
• Chlorine-resistant performance apparel designed for pool industry wear
• Fully custom designs that turn your team into a walking brand presence
• No minimum orders, so you do not have to overbuy just to look professional
