YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH POOLS
We are looking for writers with experience in the pool industry. Having said that, don't stress if don't know answers to some of the questions below and just skip them.
How many pools have you helped install (or installed yourself), repaired, maintained or generally performed work on?
Also briefly describe the kind of work you've done. Thanks.
Your answer
In your view, is there something a lot of pool owners don't understand/get wrong? Something you wish was more common knowledge?
Think of yourself as a teacher of pool owners.
Your answer
Are there controversial products on the market that pool owners like to purchase but which haven't been proven to work/are kind of a 'scam'?
Maybe you have a pet-peeve in this respect?
Your answer
Is there a brand selling pool-related products that you prefer over others? Why? Is there one you wouldn't recommend? Why not?
What products? Think above ground pools, pumps, filters, heaters, lights etc. Be brief.
Your answer
What would be your considerations when selecting the right automatic pool vacuum cleaner for you?
Very briefly describe which type you would go for and why. What's your thought process here?
Your answer
ARE YOU AN EXPERT? (Voluntary section.)
This part is voluntary and a bit more technical.
Can you sort different types of pool heaters according the actual heat output that they're capable of (their 'umpf')?
Your answer
Think of your own pool (or one you know well): Which type of heater would you recommend for it and why? How well would it cope? By how much do you think it would extend the swimming season? Can you calculate a very rough estimate of how much it would cost to run it and why?
No need to research exact figures. Just want to know your thought process.
Your answer
YOUR WRITING EXPERIENCE
Any experience with writing is appreciated. The more relevant in type (internet-style reviews, blog posts etc.) and in theme (pool maintenance, pool service, pool-related products), the better.
