In this episode of the Pool Remodel Pros Podcast, we’re highlighting Pool Service Appreciation Day, happening Saturday, March 7, 2026, and why this event continues to be so important to the pool industry.

We’re joined by Alan Smith of Alan Smith Pool Plastering & Remodeling, who shares the history behind Pool Service Appreciation Day and why it was created to recognize and support the pool service professionals who keep pools safe, clean, and operating properly year-round.
