Episode 12: Swimming Pool Hydraulics & Business Operations with JMax & Premier Paradise

In this episode we interview Justin Bowie from JMax Plumbing and Jeromey Naugle from Premier Paradise.

It is an episode jammed packed full of knowledge as Justin discusses plumbing hydraulics, total dynamic head, and many other plumbing insights. 

We also have quite a long discussion on how we can bridge the gap between pool builders and service companies. This is an area that is definitely lacking in our industry, so it was great that we were all on the same page in trying to make it better. 

Jeromey also discusses Tributary and why he and his partner started it. He discusses what they are trying to accomplish in the industry. 

All in all it is an episode that everyone in the industry can learn from. So we hope you all enjoy as much as we did.
