We dive into the unique journey of James Smith, founder of Homestead Pool Services, who swapped stethoscopes for skimmers and never looked back. James shares how his background as a Registered Nurse gave him an unexpected edge in the pool industry—especially when it comes to chemistry. We explore his path from healthcare to pool care, and his latest project: a Zoom-based Chemistry Course for Pool Pros, designed to demystify water balance and give techs the confidence to diagnose and dose like pros. Whether you're a seasoned pool tech or just curious how medical training translates to crystal-clear pools, this episode is packed with insight, humor, and hands-on tips.
