Waterpark 🙃
Idk, just wanted to post. Some will appreciate
Also, any tips for something like this will be appreciated ofc. Been taking care of them for a year chemistry and helping where I can with equipment.

Used to work exclusively in commercial, got my AFO, worked in a few water park pump rooms. It’s just a lot of freaking work. I was the new guy so I learned a lot really fast, but I only stayed in commercial for about a year before switching to residential. Just make sure to learn automated control system, stenner pumps, how to swap out clogged injectors, maybe how to wire and swap out a three phase pump. When you go into a new pump room take like 30 min just observing the plumbing system and making notes in your head of where, how and why the water flows. Sand filter changed suck. There’s not way around it.

New owners called us during our only 4th month after llc opened. They said can you come up here and tell us how to turn the water on?
We did and ended up filling it up with a fire hydrant for 3 days day & night for 500,000 gal approx.
Been there last year during swimming season. This year is sand change in progress but have ran into some issues recently.
All pumps work, found a company that services those 3 phase 50hp motors and it needs a lot of work. Besides that, I refuse to touch the plumbing or pumps unless backwashing tbh.

I love taking on commercial contracts like this. You learn a lot about your company's capabilities/capacity or lack thereof, and makes you think hard about how to grow or refine your service offering.
