GreaterReading.org travel restrictions. Staycations increased the demand for pools, liners, heaters and hot tubs parts, and the restrictions and shutdowns on our manufacturers made for a very tough time in getting the parts we needed to keep up with this demand. We had to get creative in finding the parts we needed and most of the time our suppliers could transfer parts from one of their many locations around the country. KAY POOL AND SPA SERVICE Swimming in demand for pools What an interesting season we have endured during the COVID-19 pandemic. We were thankful pool and hot tub services and maintenance were considered an essential service to prevent public health hazards from developing in untreated water. Maintaining water clarity in pools is a critical layer of protection in preventing accidental drowning. Customers were extremely anxious to open their pools early this year with all the stay-at-home restrictions and Demand for cleaning and sanitizing pools and hot tubs increased as customers realized the importance of proper operation and maintenance to disinfect pools and tubs to keep them safe. The need for families to relax and unwind in their backyards seemed to become a priority. It seemed everyone wanted a pool this year. A lot of community pools did not open this year or had limited capacity, which also increased the demand for pools. We have a lot of above ground pools scheduled to be installed next year and most inground pool builders are booked for the next year or two. It has been a busy and challenging season to keep up with the demand while experiencing shipping and production delays. But we are thankful to celebrate one of our most successful years since the purchase of this business in 2009. It is awesome to look back on the last 11 years and see how far we have come! With the growth of our business we are always looking for talented, hardworking people looking for a great opportunity in an ever-changing industry.
