Talking Pools Podcast
If you’ve ever stared at a test kit like it personally insulted your family… welcome home.
Talking Pools Podcast is the pool industry’s “pull up a chair” show—part shop talk, part field manual, part therapy session—built for people who actually live on pool decks: commercial operators, service techs, builders, facility managers, and anyone responsible for water that can’t afford to go sideways. The network was created to level up the pool industry with real-world conversations on water chemistry, filtration, troubleshooting, construction, safety, and the business side of keeping pools open and budgets intact.
Here’s the hook: it’s not theory-first. It’s experience-first—a roster of seasoned pros (with 250+ years of combined “been there, fixed that” wisdom) turning complicated problems into practical moves you can use the same day. And it’s not one voice, one vibe, one corner of the industry: it’s a network of shows designed to reflect how diverse this work really is—different regions, different specialties, different personalities.
Also worth saying out loud: women aren’t “special guests” here—they’re on the mic as hosts, from the beginning, with an intentionally balanced roster. That matters, because the best ideas in this industry don’t come from one lane—they come from the whole road.
If you want a podcast that can make you laugh and make you better at what you do—without pretending the job is easier than it is—Talking Pools is the one you queue up before the first stop, and keep on when the day starts getting weird.

Peter: G'day, mate! Welcome to another episode of Talking Pools, the podcast where we dive deep into the world of pools, spas, and all things aquatic. I'm your mate, Peter, and as always, I'm here with me cobber, Shane. How ya going, Shane?
Shane: Hey there, Peter! I'm fair dinkum excited to be here, mate. Ready to chat some serious pool biz and sling some Aussie slang while we're at it!
Peter: Absolutely, mate! Today's episode is a ripper for all you small business owners in the pool industry. We're gonna be talking about selling add-on products to existing customers to give your profits a fair shake-up. So, let's jump straight into the deep end, shall we?
Shane: Bloody oath, mate! Now, you know how important it is for any business to have a steady stream of loyal customers. And as pool professionals, we've got a ripper advantage when it comes to selling additional goodies to our existing clientele.
Peter: True that, Shane! Our customers already love splashing about in their backyard oasis, so why not offer 'em some extra goodies to make their experience even better? It's all about keeping 'em happy and coming back for more.
Shane: You're spot on, mate! And one ace way to boost profits is by offering pool toys and inflatables. Aussies love having a chuckle in the pool, and there's nothing better than a good ol' pool party with a giant flamingo float or a thong-shaped pool floatie, right?
Peter: You're not wrong, Shane! Selling those inflatables is as easy as throwing a snag on the barbie. And speaking of barbies, another top-notch add-on product is poolside furniture. Gotta give 'em a place to relax and soak up the sun, mate.
Shane: Absolutely, Peter! Outdoor lounges, deck chairs, and shade umbrellas are a must-have for any Aussie pool area. You want your customers to feel like they're on a mini holiday in their own backyard. That's what fair dinkum pool luxury is all about!
Peter: Spot on, Shane! And let's not forget about pool cleaning and maintenance products. Pools need regular TLC, and offering a range of cleaning equipment, chemicals, and accessories is a bonza way to boost your profits.
Shane: Bloody oath, mate! Every pool owner knows the importance of keeping their pool crystal clear and free from nasty algae. So, stocking up on chlorine, pool brushes, leaf nets, and water test kits will keep 'em coming back to you for all their pool care needs.
Peter: You're dead right, Shane! And here's another ripper idea to ramp up your add-on sales—poolside entertainment systems. Aussies love a good poolside party, so why not offer waterproof Bluetooth speakers, underwater LED lights, and even outdoor projectors for a real cinematic experience?
Shane: Mate, that's genius! You'll have 'em singing "Waltzing Matilda" while they're doing the backstroke. And don't forget about pool covers and blankets, Peter. They not only help save water but also keep the pool clean and warm. It's a win-win for your customers!
Peter: Brilliant, Shane! And let's wrap this episode up with a fair dinkum reminder—always provide top-notch customer service. Building strong relationships with your existing customers is the key to selling those add-ons. Gotta make 'em feel like part of the pool family, mate!
Shane: You couldn't have said it better, Peter! Treat 'em like mates, and they'll be loyal customers for life. Be their go-to pool guru, always ready to lend a helping hand or a friendly piece of advice.
Peter: Spot on, Shane! And don't forget to let your customers know about these add-on products. Promote 'em through your website, social media channels, and even good old-fashioned word-of-mouth. Aussies love a good recommendation from a mate.
Shane: Absolutely, mate! And remember, it's not just about the sale. Building trust and providing value should be at the core of everything you do. Give 'em top-notch advice on how to maintain their pool, share useful tips and tricks, and they'll see you as more than just a salesman.
Peter: That's fair dinkum wisdom right there, Shane. And with that, we've reached the end of another cracking episode of Talking Pools. We hope you've learned a thing or two about selling those add-on products to boost your profits in the pool industry.
Shane: That's right, Peter. Remember, mates, the pool business is all about creating a splashtastic experience for your customers. So, offer 'em the fun, the relaxation, and the bloody brilliant pool lifestyle they deserve.
Peter: Couldn't have said it better myself, Shane. Thanks for tuning in, folks! And remember, stay cool, keep your customers stoked, and we'll catch you next time on Talking Pools. Cheers, mates!
