In this Backyard Family Fun episode from Pride Pools, Spas and Leisure Products, host Dee Daniels talks with Marshall Smith in the Savannah, Georgia location about essential pool maintenance and how easy pool ownership can be.

Marshall explains Pride Pools’ Pool School and water testing support, including a 13-point professional analysis and at-home testing with strips or solutions, recommending professional testing about every six weeks. They caution against “all-in-one” chemical fixes and emphasize building a pool profile based on water volume, source water, and pool surface (vinyl, gunite, fiberglass) to choose the right sanitizer options, including chlorine, salt, biguanide, and ultraviolet.

The conversation covers must-have cleaning tools, vacuum and robotic cleaner choices, filtration (favoring sand filters for ease), and the importance of proper pump sizing for circulation. Marshall suggests weekly maintenance, typically taking 10–15 minutes.
