Episode Summary

Fred Schweer is the Vice President of Sales at PoolRx Worldwide, which manufactures an EPA-registered, NSF Certified, and eco-friendly mineral-based algaecide and chemical reducer. PoolRx eliminates existing algae fast, prevents algae from coming back, and lasts for up to six months.

The chelated minerals free up low levels of chlorine to be more productive in the water, providing amazing clarity, and is ideal to use with Chlorine, Salt, UV, or Ozone systems. PoolRx supports any size body of water and is perfect for both residential and commercial pools, spas, fountains, and water parks.

As Fred explains during our conversation, the product has been a lifesaver amid the chlorine shortage. By attacking the microalgae in the pool, it frees up your chlorine to do its actual job. Using PoolRX will save you both time and money while allowing you to use less chlorine.

Listen in as Fred goes on to discuss how to install the product correctly and avoid common mistakes in the process, as well as how to pitch PoolRx to clients, this year’s sale, and the all-new PoolRx+.

Key Quotes From Episode

  • PoolRX is such an easy product to use. You just place it in the skimmer or the pump basket and the idea is to set it and forget it. Truth be told, yes, that’s true, but you have to follow our basic directions.

  • What PoolRX is great at is that it really does the heavy lifting. It’s more efficient at helping kill certain parts of the algae compared to chlorine.
