Episode Summary

Join Peter, Lee, and Shane for a wildly entertaining kickoff to 2025 as they dive into the post-Christmas chaos of the pool industry. From Peter’s rare quiet Christmas (no last-minute calls for green pool rescues!) to Shane’s annual naked mole map at the dermatologist (for UV protection, of course), this episode is packed with humor, practical advice, and a surprising amount of banter about ketchup for green hair.With Australia’s brutal summer sun in full swing, the team tackles the importance of protecting yourself and your staff from UV exposure. From sunscreen to long-sleeved shirts, coconut water to polarized sunglasses, they share tips for staying safe and hydrated while working under the relentless sun.Plus, Lee recounts one of the most bizarre water tests she’s ever seen—spoiler alert: green hair and copper-filled water are involved. The team emphasizes the importance of identifying the cause of a problem, not just treating the symptoms, and how being knowledgeable earns clients’ trust and loyalty for life.
