Water Test Center Under New Management
For those of you who don’t know yet, Chet the water test manager here has decided to retire and has since moved out of the area. Rest easy however as we are still doing professional water tests and will be more than happy to give our expert diagnostic help. With the vast amount of experience we have here we are still fully equipped to meet your every water test need. Remember to stop in during the spring and get your water chemistry balanced early in the year to allow for a hassle free pool season.
Expecting My First Child
My wife and I are currently expecting our first child. During her last doctors appointment we were informed that any day she could go into labor. As for the sex of our first child, we had decided to wait until the delivery to preserve the element of surprise. (my wife’s idea) As far as we know the baby is healthy and everything with the pregnancy has gone extremely well. Unfortunately that doesn’t cure all of my concerns. Despite the fact that their are six billion people on earth, and humans have been having babies since the beginning of time, for some reason I still get the feeling like I am the first one of us to go through this. All kidding aside I am getting really excited/nervous about the idea of becoming a dad. Luckily for me I have some good role models as far as raising children including my own dad, maybe you’ve heard of him. He has been in such productions as: “Eastgate Pools & Spas Winter Sale commercials, Eastgate Pools and Spas Anniversary Sale commercials, Eastgate… well you get the idea.
A Frog You Want In YOur Spa
For users of the Nature 2 system, we now carry the Frog Stick. The Frog Stick is similar to Nature 2 in that they are both mineral disinfectant systems, yet the Frog is compatible with Bromine, Chlorine and Oxidizer while the Nature 2 system is not compatible with Bromine. If you are currently using the Nature 2 system you will be happy to know that the Frog Stick works in a very similar manner as Nature 2, you simply insert the Frog Stick into the filter cartridge core (or into the skimmer well of some spas) and allow it to go to work for the next four months. The Frog Stick works together with lower levels of bromine or chlorine for a much more enjoyable spa experience.
ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE MYSELF
My name is Rich West and I am new to the sales department here at Eastgate Pools and Spas. If I look familiar when you come into the store it could be because I have quite a history here. I originally worked here from 1998 through 2002 stocking shelves and helping customers to their cars, among other things. From 2003 until the beginning of 2009 I was working in residential construction, while I attended Northern Kentucky University. In May I graduated from NKU with a bachelor’s degree in Construction Management and an associate’s degree in Construction Technology.
I did spend the majority of this years’ pool season working in the service department here at Eastgate, which could make me look familiar to some of our customers. So, when you’re in the store look me up and I will be more than happy to help you with anything that I can. I look forward to meeting everyone.
