Unless you’re in the pool cleaning service industry, you likely will have very little, if any, knowledge about what a pool cleaning association is and why you should make sure that any pool cleaner you hire is a part of an association. But what, exactly, is an association, and why should you make sure that your pool cleaner is joined with one?

A pool cleaning association is a special association for, you guessed it, pool cleaners. There are a number of these associations around the nation, and thanks to technology many of them are also extremely active online as well. Most experts will tell you that if a pool cleaner is serious about their business, one of the first things that they will do is to join with an association.

A pool service association is designed to help pool cleaners in the industry. It works by providing information and education, workshops, and also by providing affordable liability insurance. Let’s reiterate that: liability insurance. Pool cleaning can actually be fairly dangerous. One misstep and your pool cleaner will go from taking the leaves out of your pool to floating in it. That’s why hiring someone who has liability insurance is so crucial, and if your pool cleaner is joined to a pool cleaning association, you can rest comfortably knowing that they likely have insurance coverage.
