48
00:02:06,882 --> 00:02:07,882
[juliene_hefter]: bye,
49
00:02:07,254 --> 00:02:11,254
[lauren_stack]: Aquatic Professionals conference when I, uh, spent a few years on the staff of
50
00:02:11,414 --> 00:02:16,374
[lauren_stack]: the National Swimming Pool Foundation, But Um, really, the the connection
51
00:02:14,702 --> 00:03:17,742
[juliene_hefter]: Isssssssss,
52
00:02:16,694 --> 00:02:21,414
[lauren_stack]: between Water Sha University coming to a O. a P. Uh, was a bridge through Sea,
53
00:02:21,654 --> 00:02:27,014
[lauren_stack]: Mack, Um and Uh, Susan Wickman, who works for the Council model, called a K
54
00:02:27,254 --> 00:02:31,974
[lauren_stack]: Code and I were talking. and uh, we just thought that it would be good for us
55
00:02:32,134 --> 00:02:37,174
[lauren_stack]: to get involved And I know that Juillan is working hard to cover all aspects
56
00:02:37,254 --> 00:02:41,094
[lauren_stack]: of the of the industrial segments, and that the builders, especially the
57
00:02:41,174 --> 00:02:45,654
[lauren_stack]: residential, but also you know commercial builders, Uh, was maybe a sector
58
00:02:45,894 --> 00:02:50,934
[lauren_stack]: that was not as prominently attending. And uh, that's something we could bring
59
00:02:50,834 --> 00:02:51,834
[lauren_stack]: to the table,
60
00:02:51,651 --> 00:02:57,811
[rudy]: Well, there definitely are a lot of folks in that. I mean, normally we talk about pool
61
00:02:58,051 --> 00:03:01,971
[rudy]: professionals, pool organizations, and look at things from the service side, pool
62
00:03:02,131 --> 00:03:07,811
[rudy]: builders, which definitely applies here. But you have a lot of talent on that aquatic
63
00:03:08,051 --> 00:03:13,171
[rudy]: side as well, so I imagine this is going to be a fantastic opportunity for them,
64
00:03:14,451 --> 00:03:17,731
[rudy]: Chrisy, how did you get involved? Did you kind of just get sucked in or did you
65
00:03:17,811 --> 00:03:19,891
[rudy]: volunteer? Did they force you?

132
00:06:34,371 --> 00:06:39,891

[juliene_hefter]: of our main goals for a a P is really to collaborate and partner with as
136
00:06:54,942 --> 00:06:59,102

[juliene_hefter]: professionals, Um, commercial entities, health inspectors, um, builders,
138
00:07:05,182 --> 00:07:08,622

139
00:07:08,702 --> 00:07:12,302
[juliene_hefter]: all those needs, and when Christian and I started talking, she'd said we've
140
00:07:12,462 --> 00:07:15,742
[juliene_hefter]: known each other for a long time, so we've worked together on so many
141
00:07:15,902 --> 00:07:20,862
[juliene_hefter]: different things, And and we want to make sure that we are offering things
142
00:07:21,102 --> 00:07:26,782
[juliene_hefter]: from the the, brand new for the brand new aquatics director or recreation

[andrea_nannini]: That's really cool.
331
00:15:11,891 --> 00:15:16,371
[rudy]: Laurn. I saw that you guys have a couple of classes. Water shaped university that you
332
00:15:11,891 --> 00:15:16,371
[rudy]: Laurn. I saw that you guys have a couple of classes. Water shaped university that you

336
00:15:19,834 --> 00:15:20,834
[lauren_stack]: yes, um,
337
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:33,680

[lauren_stack]: sorry
339
00:15:23,511 --> 00:15:24,511
[rudy]: No,
340
00:15:24,054 --> 00:15:28,214
[lauren_stack]: about that. Uh, yes, we're actually doing three different things. We have two.
341
00:15:28,774 --> 00:15:34,534
[lauren_stack]: Oh on. I, Yes, we have two. D. three different things going on. We have two Um
342
00:15:34,854 --> 00:15:37,014
[lauren_stack]: courses within the Mac track,
343
00:15:36,660 --> 00:15:37,660
[kristie_]: know
344
00:15:38,054 --> 00:15:43,894
[lauren_stack]: so we will be Um, presenting there, and then we have a full day of a a brand
345
00:15:44,054 --> 00:15:48,054
[lauren_stack]: new course. It's called Um. plan checkers, basically plumbing for plan
346
00:15:47,914 --> 00:15:48,914
[lauren_stack]: checkers.
347
00:15:48,420 --> 00:15:49,420
[kristie_]: you.
348
00:15:49,014 --> 00:15:50,934
[lauren_stack]: And really it's a. It's a way for
349
00:15:52,054 --> 00:15:56,614
[lauren_stack]: the people that are out there, Um, the code officials or the health officials
350
00:15:56,774 --> 00:16:00,454
[lauren_stack]: that have to inspect, particularly a commercial job, Um,
351
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:06,880
[kristie_]: Thess
352
00:16:00,934 --> 00:16:03,814
[lauren_stack]: so that they understand what they're seeing with questions they should be
353
00:16:03,894 --> 00:16:08,214
[lauren_stack]: asking of the builder with respect to plumbing and filtration and and safety
354
00:16:08,154 --> 00:16:09,154
[lauren_stack]: issues. So
355
00:16:08,900 --> 00:16:09,900
[kristie_]: much is nice.
356
00:16:09,254 --> 00:16:14,694
[lauren_stack]: we imagine these people uh, coming out of our program as is having the
357
00:16:14,500 --> 00:16:15,500
[kristie_]: So
358
00:16:14,774 --> 00:16:16,134
[lauren_stack]: tools to ask the proper
359
00:16:15,682 --> 00:16:16,682
[juliene_hefter]: The, the,
360
00:16:16,374 --> 00:16:20,294
[lauren_stack]: questions and to expect the proper answer. And if they're not getting it to to
361
00:16:20,374 --> 00:16:25,094
[lauren_stack]: know what to look for. what might not be going right, Um during the the
362
00:16:25,060 --> 00:16:26,060
[kristie_]: and yous, and
363
00:16:25,334 --> 00:16:28,854
[lauren_stack]: planning stages, or or just the competency of the builder
364
00:16:28,820 --> 00:16:29,820
[kristie_]: so
365
00:16:29,254 --> 00:16:33,094
[lauren_stack]: himself, so we're excited about that and then thirdly we're offering a two day
366
00:16:32,900 --> 00:16:33,900
[kristie_]: all
367
00:16:33,334 --> 00:16:38,614
[lauren_stack]: course at the at the end of the conference on ozone and alternative, Um.
368
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:57,440

369
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:57,440
[kristie_]: isssss, and ands
370
00:16:37,682 --> 00:16:38,682
[juliene_hefter]: the,
371
00:16:38,854 --> 00:16:44,694
[lauren_stack]: oxidation pathways. So a o P, and that's going to be. Uh. Obviously, we're
372
00:16:44,774 --> 00:16:48,454
[lauren_stack]: going to be selling all of the the courses and attending the the whole
373
00:16:48,162 --> 00:16:49,162
[juliene_hefter]: you,
374
00:16:48,614 --> 00:16:53,494
[lauren_stack]: conference to our student base. But the two day course in particular,
375
00:16:54,534 --> 00:16:59,014
[lauren_stack]: Uh, more and more people are you know, diving into the whole ozone and
376
00:16:59,094 --> 00:17:04,934
[lauren_stack]: alternative sanitation, And we want them on high end residential as well as
377
00:17:05,174 --> 00:17:09,254
[lauren_stack]: uh, commercial, and uh, We want to be able to be on the forefront with them,
378
00:17:09,234 --> 00:17:10,234
[lauren_stack]: and and get them
379
00:17:09,620 --> 00:17:10,620

[rudy]: it couldn't be more timely.
386
00:17:18,591 --> 00:17:19,591
[rudy]: I think this is the
387
00:17:19,194 --> 00:17:20,194
[lauren_stack]: Yes,
388
00:17:19,491 --> 00:17:23,891

389
00:17:23,891 --> 00:17:27,491
[rudy]: mean, they should sign up for all your classes. Obviously, but that two day class we
390
00:17:27,571 --> 00:17:33,011
[rudy]: were talking about alternative oxidation. That's amazing. we. I mean twenty
391
00:17:31,460 --> 00:17:32,460
[kristie_]: the I,
392
00:17:33,182 --> 00:17:34,462
[juliene_hefter]: the houses, ands
393
00:17:33,251 --> 00:17:35,491
[rudy]: twenty two. Everybody is looking at it like it's the light
394
00:17:35,311 --> 00:17:36,311
[rudy]: at the end of
395
00:17:35,602 --> 00:17:36,602
[juliene_hefter]: see,
396
00:17:36,051 --> 00:17:41,091
[rudy]: the tunnel for this, whatever the heck it was, and the truth is it's still a huge
397
00:17:40,660 --> 00:17:41,660
[kristie_]: I,
398
00:17:40,991 --> 00:17:41,991

[kristie_]: you
401
00:17:42,851 --> 00:17:45,891
[rudy]: But what we do know is that these alternative
402
00:17:46,580 --> 00:17:47,580
[kristie_]: and
403
00:17:46,771 --> 00:17:51,251
[rudy]: methods of oxidation, those are solid. those are still available, and those are things
404
00:17:51,411 --> 00:17:57,731
[rudy]: that can actually bring us long term benefits well beyond the resolution of the
405
00:17:57,891 --> 00:17:59,331
[rudy]: chlorine conundrum.
406
00:18:01,014 --> 00:18:07,254

00:19:34,594 --> 00:19:35,594
[lauren_stack]: year I
464
00:19:34,991 --> 00:19:35,991

472
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:15,280
[kristie_]: easier? I know, Uh, especially a lot of people. Um in uh, managing pools. it can
473
00:20:15,360 --> 00:20:19,440
[kristie_]: be really overwhelming. Oh, my gosh. What do I look at? Where do I go? Um, so I'll

[kristie_]: to focus on? Uh, you know where to find the information and how to make it Not so
476
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:35,600
[kristie_]: daunting. but um. and of course our uh, you know, technical director Dewey will be

00:20:44,691 --> 00:20:46,451
[rudy]: absolute, absolutely is absolutely is.
482
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:51,440
[kristie_]: he really is. Uh, and so yeah, So we're just uh, you know, and then we are still
483
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:56,320
[kristie_]: working on our Um. indoor air quality study, Um, our partnership that we have with
484
00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:02,560
[kristie_]: Purdue University with Chiplasky and Um, still working on Um. Getting. We're in

00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:07,520
[kristie_]: the third and final phase. We're working on Uh, securing Uh, some funding. Uh,
486
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:13,200
[kristie_]: some additional funding for that. So Um, I know that, Um. he's got a lot of really
487
00:21:13,360 --> 00:21:17,120
[kristie_]: great information that we hope to bring Uh to the conference as well. I don't
488
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:21,760
[kristie_]: think he'll be Um. Able to speak in person, but um, hopefully we can get his
489
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:26,000
[kristie_]: information out there as well because it's It's incredible the work that they've
490
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:27,680
[kristie_]: done over Purdue on this issue.
491
00:21:28,382 --> 00:21:30,702
[juliene_hefter]: Thes.
492
00:21:28,531 --> 00:21:35,171
[rudy]: I think that's such a fantastic idea in detigmatizing the role of the health official.
493
00:21:35,300 --> 00:21:36,300
[kristie_]: Mhm.
494
00:21:36,311 --> 00:21:37,311
[rudy]: I mean, really on
495
00:21:36,793 --> 00:21:37,793
[andrea_nannini]: eight.
496
00:21:37,331 --> 00:21:41,731
[rudy]: a large. I mean, honestly, I've I've been at a lot of different facilities where I've
497
00:21:41,811 --> 00:21:47,171
[rudy]: seen and this is an aquatic, but I'm assuming it it plays the same across the board,
498
00:21:47,411 --> 00:21:51,651
[rudy]: but I've been at facilities where I've seen the health of officials vehicle roll in
499
00:21:51,891 --> 00:21:56,771
[rudy]: and the maintenance team immediately jumps on their golf course in their trucks and
500
00:21:56,851 --> 00:21:59,331
[rudy]: heads off sight be cause they don't want to be around for it.
501
00:22:00,371 --> 00:22:05,091
[rudy]: Doing this is such an awesome bonding opportunity where you know this is some that you
502
00:22:01,814 --> 00:24:00,134
[lauren_stack]: Ssssssssssssss,
503
00:22:05,171 --> 00:22:08,611
[rudy]: should have in your corner, not somebody that you should run from, And I don't think
504
00:22:08,711 --> 00:22:09,711
[rudy]: enough people know that.
505
00:22:12,580 --> 00:22:13,580
[kristie_]: Yes,
506
00:22:12,702 --> 00:22:16,862
[juliene_hefter]: Rudy. this is Jea. I'm going to tell you, I, in my pool operator courses I
507
00:22:17,102 --> 00:22:20,222
[juliene_hefter]: teach that all the time, I always say, make friends with your health
508
00:22:20,462 --> 00:22:25,182
[juliene_hefter]: inspectors. Um, you should be friendly with them and get to know them. Get
509
00:22:25,262 --> 00:22:29,422
[juliene_hefter]: to understand what they're looking for, because a lot of times our operators
510
00:22:29,742 --> 00:22:33,102
[juliene_hefter]: exactly what you just said. They shaken their booots when the health
511
00:22:31,831 --> 00:22:32,831
[rudy]: Mhm.
512
00:22:33,342 --> 00:22:37,422
[juliene_hefter]: inspector shows up and they don't realize how much help they can be as well,
513
00:22:37,351 --> 00:22:38,351
[rudy]: Oh yeah,
514
00:22:38,382 --> 00:22:41,742
[juliene_hefter]: and I think same, those for the health inspectors. I think a lot of times
515
00:22:41,822 --> 00:22:45,422
[juliene_hefter]: when they're showing up at pools, they' feeling like you know. Oh, my gosh,
516
00:22:45,582 --> 00:22:49,582
[juliene_hefter]: I walk up and people don't even want to talk to me. So how do we bridge that
517
00:22:49,742 --> 00:22:53,262
[juliene_hefter]: gap, And that's what's so great about bringing these health inspectors to a
518
00:22:53,342 --> 00:22:58,942
[juliene_hefter]: o a p, and talking to the operators because they don't talk enough. So we
519
00:22:57,831 --> 00:22:58,831
[rudy]: no,
520
00:22:59,102 --> 00:23:02,302
[juliene_hefter]: want to get them together And that's the whole thing about these
521
00:23:02,462 --> 00:23:05,982
[juliene_hefter]: collaborations. And I know you can tell I'm excited about it because it's
522
00:23:05,231 --> 00:23:06,231
[rudy]: I can.
523
00:23:06,062 --> 00:23:11,022
[juliene_hefter]: just every single collaboration or partnership we come up with. Just improve
524
00:23:11,342 --> 00:23:13,182
[juliene_hefter]: the quaatics as a whole for everybody,
525
00:23:13,491 --> 00:23:17,731
[rudy]: I'll tell you. Um, when I was I had, Uh, I've done a bunch of different things in the
526
00:23:17,731 --> 00:23:22,611
[rudy]: pool industry, but when I had my service company, I always made sure that I had a
527
00:23:22,771 --> 00:23:26,611
[rudy]: stellar relationship with my health officials. Uh, the folks that would inspect my
528
00:23:26,691 --> 00:23:30,931
[rudy]: pools so much so that my health official she actually had my cell phonee number in her
529
00:23:31,091 --> 00:23:34,771
[rudy]: phone. And if there was ever a problem at any of the pools that I would that I took
530
00:23:35,011 --> 00:23:39,091
[rudy]: care of, I'd get a phone call. I mean, I don't care if it's the Friday of a holiday
531
00:23:39,251 --> 00:23:42,451
[rudy]: weekend or not. I'd get a call that says hey Rudy. I'm over at such and such a
532
00:23:42,451 --> 00:23:45,571
[rudy]: facility and I took care of a lot of student housing And it'd be something along the
533
00:23:45,651 --> 00:23:49,011
[rudy]: lines of like You know, there's a ring Booy missing. Can you get one here before I
534
00:23:49,091 --> 00:23:53,091
[rudy]: leave? So I don't have to close the pool and then I'd be like Yeah, and I want those
535
00:23:53,411 --> 00:23:57,491
[rudy]: opportunities, you know, and I think they do. Also, how cool is it to not have your
536
00:23:57,571 --> 00:23:58,771
[rudy]: pool closed on a weekend
537
00:23:59,413 --> 00:24:03,413
[andrea_nannini]: I have the say. Not the same thing, but I had a very similar similar
538
00:24:03,973 --> 00:24:07,653
[andrea_nannini]: experience where I got a phone call from the management office and they're
539
00:24:07,733 --> 00:24:10,533
[andrea_nannini]: like, You know the health inspectors there. There's just a couple of things
540
00:24:10,613 --> 00:24:13,813
[andrea_nannini]: and I was like, Yeah, no, I'm actually like right across the street, so I
541
00:24:13,893 --> 00:24:18,213
[andrea_nannini]: went back and Um, so I was able to take care of all the all of the issues
542
00:24:18,373 --> 00:24:21,413
[andrea_nannini]: that she had, So she didn't have to close the pool. Shouldn't have to come
543
00:24:21,573 --> 00:24:26,453
[andrea_nannini]: back, you know, and it was. it was. Um. It was a pretty decent experience
544
00:24:26,773 --> 00:24:31,253
[andrea_nannini]: for me like I had. No. She didn't bite me late. So you know it was like I
545
00:24:31,493 --> 00:24:35,013
[andrea_nannini]: like you said. I was able to prevent the pool from being closed and it was
546
00:24:35,173 --> 00:24:38,213
[andrea_nannini]: just a couple of minor things, so it's really not a big deal to like
547
00:24:38,533 --> 00:24:42,053
[andrea_nannini]: everybody saying, Get to know them, you know, and build a relationship And
548
00:24:42,133 --> 00:24:43,733
[andrea_nannini]: then things work out,
549
00:24:43,731 --> 00:24:46,611
[rudy]: and you didn't get bitten. That's the most important part. I think
550
00:24:46,180 --> 00:24:47,180
[kristie_]: she.
551
00:24:47,333 --> 00:24:49,013
[andrea_nannini]: not by the health inspector that day.
552
00:24:50,851 --> 00:24:53,331
[rudy]: so Andrea. ask a few.
553
00:24:53,033 --> 00:24:54,033
[andrea_nannini]: Yes,
554
00:24:55,253 --> 00:24:59,733
[andrea_nannini]: um, okay, so I actually wanted to know this one too. So why did the Um? So
555
00:24:56,382 --> 00:25:06,702
[juliene_hefter]: Sss, two
556
00:24:59,893 --> 00:25:04,213
[andrea_nannini]: why does the Water Shape university? Why did you guys decide to offer Uh
557
00:25:04,853 --> 00:25:06,133
[andrea_nannini]: education at the conference?
558
00:25:07,173 --> 00:25:08,773
[andrea_nannini]: The A o a P conference
559
00:25:12,934 --> 00:25:19,334
[lauren_stack]: For for several reasons, First, we really support the model code. We put that
560
00:25:20,774 --> 00:25:25,894
[lauren_stack]: those Um priorities that are set into the code into our curriculum and we talk
561
00:25:26,134 --> 00:25:30,294
[lauren_stack]: about it and we tell people that it's available and they need to understand it
562
00:25:30,374 --> 00:25:35,974
[lauren_stack]: and know it. And so it's a very integrated part of all of our programs. So
563
00:25:36,214 --> 00:25:38,774
[lauren_stack]: when the opportunity came for us to offer some
564
00:25:39,814 --> 00:25:44,134
[lauren_stack]: a few sessions within the Mac track, we really jump on it, and
565
00:25:45,814 --> 00:25:50,294
[lauren_stack]: the the ones that we' going to present are equipment pads, and
566
00:25:51,354 --> 00:25:52,354
[lauren_stack]: H,
567
00:25:53,014 --> 00:25:54,374
[lauren_stack]: I should know the second one.
568
00:25:55,974 --> 00:25:58,454
[lauren_stack]: You don't have that by chance, do you? In your notes?
569
00:25:58,151 --> 00:25:59,151
[rudy]: We can fix it.
570
00:26:00,640 --> 00:27:34,880
[kristie_]: I don't only seer, what this is, Christi Lauren. What was the session? you already
571
00:26:01,182 --> 00:27:59,502
[juliene_hefter]: Isssssssssssssssssssss.
572
00:26:02,694 --> 00:26:06,614
[lauren_stack]: I, I can't think this. I can't think of the second one, but at any rate, um,
573
00:26:07,174 --> 00:26:13,254
[lauren_stack]: two of those within the The Mac track, and and really, just forming that
574
00:26:13,494 --> 00:26:15,654
[lauren_stack]: bridge that we've all been talking about,
575
00:26:16,694 --> 00:26:21,974
[lauren_stack]: understanding that the pool industry is so blended, you know between
576
00:26:22,294 --> 00:26:27,814
[lauren_stack]: residential and commercial, and, and even more so as we've moved into really
577
00:26:28,294 --> 00:26:30,134
[lauren_stack]: high end residential pools that
578
00:26:31,114 --> 00:26:32,114
[lauren_stack]: challenge
579
00:26:32,774 --> 00:26:36,614
[lauren_stack]: the the Uh, the size of what you might find in a commercial setting, So
580
00:26:36,614 --> 00:26:41,014
[lauren_stack]: there's just a lot of a lot of overlap and our people do both things, and so
581
00:26:41,254 --> 00:26:43,574
[lauren_stack]: being part of the the. Commercial Um,
582
00:26:44,154 --> 00:26:45,154
[lauren_stack]: community,
583
00:26:45,734 --> 00:26:51,654
[lauren_stack]: and bringing them with us into Um, the realm where the aquatic facility
584
00:26:51,814 --> 00:26:56,294
[lauren_stack]: managers live and come to the conference was really important for us to be
585
00:26:56,454 --> 00:27:01,094
[lauren_stack]: there and to help you know form that bridge and get those people over Um. And
586
00:27:01,174 --> 00:27:05,174
[lauren_stack]: as as Rudy was talking about the whole, a o p, and alternative, Um,
587
00:27:06,214 --> 00:27:11,414
[lauren_stack]: sanitation, and U, V and ozone, I mean those are becoming used more and more
588
00:27:11,574 --> 00:27:16,134
[lauren_stack]: often, And so the service people need to understand what that means to their
589
00:27:16,294 --> 00:27:22,374
[lauren_stack]: businesses, and Um, they need to be kind of brought up to speed on on what the
590
00:27:22,374 --> 00:27:25,894
[lauren_stack]: builders are putting into their pools so that they can be serviced by by
591
00:27:26,134 --> 00:27:28,774
[lauren_stack]: people moving forward once they leave that job site,
592
00:27:29,111 --> 00:27:30,111
[rudy]: That wasn't me.
593
00:27:35,120 --> 00:27:36,640
[kristie_]: said, I think I have the other one.
594
00:27:38,294 --> 00:27:39,654
[lauren_stack]: Uh, the equipment pad,
595
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:42,240
[kristie_]: Oh, the building, save
596
00:27:42,154 --> 00:27:43,154
[lauren_stack]: the
597
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,320
[kristie_]: chemical storage and treatment systems,
598
00:27:44,694 --> 00:27:47,254
[lauren_stack]: chemical storage. Yes, and what was the other one?
599
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,680
[kristie_]: Is it the visual guide to commercial pool geometry?
600
00:27:53,394 --> 00:27:54,394
[lauren_stack]: That's
601
00:27:53,860 --> 00:27:54,860
[kristie_]: That's it. Y,
602
00:27:54,134 --> 00:27:55,894
[lauren_stack]: it. that's it. Yes,
603
00:27:55,831 --> 00:27:56,831
[rudy]: so
604
00:27:56,534 --> 00:27:58,934
[lauren_stack]: uh, so how do we fit that in Rudy? I don't know.
605
00:27:58,451 --> 00:28:03,011
[rudy]: I'll fix it. You distned. So just repeat what you were saying really quick. So the two
606
00:28:01,502 --> 00:29:59,822
[juliene_hefter]: Ssssssssssssss.
607
00:28:03,251 --> 00:28:05,571
[rudy]: class. the twoth sessions go ahead.
608
00:28:06,694 --> 00:28:11,174
[lauren_stack]: Uh. Yes, The the two sessions we're offering have to do with uh, pool geometry
609
00:28:11,654 --> 00:28:16,774
[lauren_stack]: and what you can and can't do according to the to the code. Uh, Dave Peterson
610
00:28:16,934 --> 00:28:21,174
[lauren_stack]: likes to press the envelope, not from a safety standpoint point, never from
611
00:28:21,334 --> 00:28:27,574
[lauren_stack]: that standpoint but just to put some fun into our commercial pools. Um, he
612
00:28:27,734 --> 00:28:33,094
[lauren_stack]: thinks you know. It's silly if you have a pool that can have a fun detail that
613
00:28:33,414 --> 00:28:38,294
[lauren_stack]: Um is not going to go against code. Let's put it in there because that's what
614
00:28:38,374 --> 00:28:42,854
[lauren_stack]: people are are used to more and more on the residential side, and then the Um.
615
00:28:43,254 --> 00:28:48,214
[lauren_stack]: chemical storage and equipment, Uh rooms, and and just making sure that those
616
00:28:48,294 --> 00:28:51,974
[lauren_stack]: are up to code and everything is being followed. So those are the two segments
617
00:28:52,054 --> 00:28:54,054
[lauren_stack]: that will be addressing within the Mac track
618
00:28:54,791 --> 00:28:55,791
[rudy]: So
619
00:28:56,671 --> 00:28:57,671
[rudy]: chrs,
620
00:28:57,013 --> 00:28:58,213
[andrea_nannini]: F is, and Fe
621
00:28:57,013 --> 00:28:58,213
[andrea_nannini]: F is, and Fe
622
00:28:58,151 --> 00:28:59,151
[rudy]: you have some
623
00:28:59,171 --> 00:29:01,891
[rudy]: competition out there. There's this other code
624
00:28:59,253 --> 00:29:00,773
[andrea_nannini]: before the Min and
625
00:29:01,993 --> 00:29:02,993
[andrea_nannini]: the
626
00:29:03,251 --> 00:29:07,491
[rudy]: that all the Ph. People would be mad cause I don't remember the name of it because I
627
00:29:07,571 --> 00:29:08,771
[rudy]: like your code. But
628
00:29:10,051 --> 00:29:14,371
[rudy]: how how does that effect? How's that affecting your day today? and what you do? I mean
629
00:29:14,531 --> 00:29:18,211
[rudy]: right now, I mean, I guess is there a battle for market share? What's going on with
630
00:29:18,291 --> 00:29:21,411
[rudy]: that? or would you like to just completely leave this question out
631
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:26,640
[kristie_]: no, no, that's fine. Um, no, I mean you know we. I have a great relationship with
632
00:29:26,340 --> 00:29:27,340
[kristie_]: Ph,
633
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:33,040
[kristie_]: Um, I am. Uh, I've uh, you know, built a a relationship with their executive
634
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:40,240
[kristie_]: director, Saina. uh, Hickman and Um, I mean, you know, they. They use pieces from
635
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:44,640
[kristie_]: our code in their coat, and that's all. that's what the Mac is all about. That is
636
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:50,080
[kristie_]: what. Um. You know, the original vision from the Cbc was all about Was you know,
637
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:54,800
[kristie_]: getting people to use the Max, So, Um, you know, and we have worked really hard.
638
00:29:55,120 --> 00:30:00,400
[kristie_]: Um, it's the international Uh pool in Sp. Cod Is is what you were refer. Um, you
639
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:04,960
[kristie_]: know we've had. We have a committee. Um. It's on pause right now. Uh, waiting, Um.
640
00:30:01,333 --> 00:31:59,653
[andrea_nannini]: Ssssssssssssss.
641
00:30:01,502 --> 00:31:59,822
[juliene_hefter]: Ssssssssssssss.
642
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:09,200
[kristie_]: some updates of the codes, but we have a a harmonizing committee that we work
643
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:14,800
[kristie_]: together to make sure that the codes Um, are as aligned as possible. Um. And they
644
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:19,680
[kristie_]: have a They. You know. they have adopted pieces of the Mac into their code as
645
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,000
[kristie_]: well. So Um, you know our
646
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:27,120
[kristie_]: our from our standpoint. you know to me. I don't know why anyone wouldn't use it
647
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:31,280
[kristie_]: Because it is the standard it comes. You know. it's owned by the C. D. C. It's
648
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:36,480
[kristie_]: based on science. It's free. Um, so our code is free. Um. You know some of the
649
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:42,160
[kristie_]: other codes out there. You have to pay for them. Um, so um y, you know to me it.
650
00:30:41,860 --> 00:30:42,860
[kristie_]: it's um.
651
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:48,800
[kristie_]: It's all inclusive. It's the only all inclusive Um. model model code, Uh, for
652
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:50,000
[kristie_]: Aquatic. That's out
653
00:30:50,054 --> 00:30:52,934
[lauren_stack]: forw. that there, you know, I said before it,
654
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,760
[kristie_]: there. And as you know, I said before and juene um mentioned as well. It's
655
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:57,520
[kristie_]: it's what's being referenced during Um, the court cases and
656
00:30:53,974 --> 00:30:56,454
[lauren_stack]: mention as well as it, whats being reference.
657
00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:02,800
[kristie_]: lawsuits and things like that. So Um, for us it's just it's the standard and uh,
658
00:30:57,654 --> 00:31:02,054
[lauren_stack]: The por casees and lossuits and things like that, so not for us. it's just
659
00:31:02,294 --> 00:31:07,894
[lauren_stack]: this theer and we're very proud of the kindolor that we found that we work
660
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:08,480
[kristie_]: we're very proud of of the code that we put out. Uh, we work really hard. Um, you
661
00:31:08,134 --> 00:31:13,094
[lauren_stack]: really hard. you know, every three years to get updated with the latest signs
662
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:12,880
[kristie_]: know every three years to get it updated with the latest science. Um, you know,
663
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:17,120
[kristie_]: making sure that it. It makes sense we're working to. Um. try
664
00:31:13,494 --> 00:31:16,054
[lauren_stack]: of you know, making sure that it may be Sa.
665
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:21,200
[kristie_]: to make it a little bit. you know, more user friendly and easier for people. I
666
00:31:17,334 --> 00:31:21,974
[lauren_stack]: to try to make it a little. you know where user friendly and easier for
667
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:26,080
[kristie_]: know. It's it's really large, but it's got everything you need in there, so um,
668
00:31:22,054 --> 00:31:27,494
[lauren_stack]: people. I know it's really large, but it's got everything even there, so we're
669
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:30,880
[kristie_]: we're looking at ways to make it a little bit easier for the user. Um, but yeah,
670
00:31:27,654 --> 00:31:30,374
[lauren_stack]: looking at ways to making a little bit easier for the user.
671
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:35,600
[kristie_]: it's and like I said, it's free. It's it's a. It's a resource out there for
672
00:31:33,894 --> 00:31:39,094
[lauren_stack]: said it free theys. A resource out there for everyone, so we'w out as a
673
00:31:35,300 --> 00:31:36,300
[kristie_]: everyone.
674
00:31:36,771 --> 00:31:42,771
[rudy]: so we don't see that as a competing code at all, Is what you're saying? Now. I know
675
00:31:39,174 --> 00:31:41,894
[lauren_stack]: convenient code of Lo. your sci.
676
00:31:42,271 --> 00:31:43,271
[rudy]: you know that
677
00:31:42,954 --> 00:31:43,954
[lauren_stack]: I don know
678
00:31:43,251 --> 00:31:45,491
[rudy]: I've been. Um. I've been a member of
679
00:31:45,114 --> 00:31:46,114
[lauren_stack]: a
680
00:31:45,571 --> 00:31:48,611
[rudy]: the counsel for the model A. Quite a health code. I
681
00:31:48,234 --> 00:31:49,234
[lauren_stack]: co
682
00:31:48,771 --> 00:31:50,611
[rudy]: think I'm a little behind my does at the
683
00:31:50,614 --> 00:31:52,774
[lauren_stack]: on the Windows of the moment, but no
684
00:31:50,691 --> 00:31:53,251
[rudy]: moment, but you know we can. I can fix that.
685
00:31:54,471 --> 00:31:55,471
[rudy]: but but aside from
686
00:31:55,414 --> 00:32:00,454
[lauren_stack]: be motified from there. Weve want earlier or too. Because one of the Fsm do.
687
00:31:55,491 --> 00:31:59,091
[rudy]: that I, we worked together early in the year too, because one of the things that we
688
00:31:59,251 --> 00:32:05,091
[rudy]: did that did not ist. We created a category for pool professionals specifically right
689
00:32:05,111 --> 00:32:06,111
[rudy]: for
690
00:32:05,300 --> 00:32:06,300
[kristie_]: We,
691
00:32:05,891 --> 00:32:11,571
[rudy]: folks at service pools, and and such to come in to that organization so that they had
692
00:32:11,811 --> 00:32:16,771
[rudy]: a place where they fit where we could represent or the Po. people Po professionals
693
00:32:16,851 --> 00:32:21,251
[rudy]: could represent and share their voices and opinions because they have a lot to add as
694
00:32:21,331 --> 00:32:26,931
[rudy]: well, and I think that's great that everybody is working together so nicely to bring
695
00:32:27,251 --> 00:32:31,811
[rudy]: everyone to the table just for the better of the industry. And I think this
696
00:32:32,051 --> 00:32:34,291
[rudy]: collaboration you guys have here is a
697
00:32:33,913 --> 00:32:34,913
[andrea_nannini]: you
698
00:32:34,531 --> 00:32:35,811
[rudy]: perfect example of that.
699
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:38,080
[kristie_]: Yes, and I mean, that's
700
00:32:38,074 --> 00:32:39,074
[lauren_stack]: I would like to.
701
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,360
[kristie_]: exactly what we're all trying to do. Uh, you know, and just bring everybody
702
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:45,840
[kristie_]: together in one room. It's hard to travel. It's hard to go, you know, to a bunch
703
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:50,800
[kristie_]: of different conferences and our goal was to get everybody, Um together in one in
704
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:56,960
[kristie_]: one place, and Uh, Julian has done a great job, Um, bringing in you know, like she
705
00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:01,200
[kristie_]: said, Their expos fantastic, You know, there's just so much there for everybody.
706
00:33:01,300 --> 00:33:02,300
[kristie_]: All their
707
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:06,160
[kristie_]: preconference events either post conference events, The partnerships that she has
708
00:33:02,082 --> 00:33:03,082
[juliene_hefter]: you, I
709
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:07,840
[kristie_]: with with people in
710
00:33:07,442 --> 00:33:08,442
[juliene_hefter]: Fe,
711
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:09,040
[kristie_]: the industry is just is
712
00:33:08,962 --> 00:33:09,962
[juliene_hefter]: sees.
713
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:12,080
[kristie_]: phenomenal. So and I'm sorry, Lorn, I didn't need to interrupt you.
714
00:33:14,454 --> 00:33:19,654
[lauren_stack]: Yeah, um, I just wanted to to add. You know what we at Water Shape University
715
00:33:20,054 --> 00:33:24,614
[lauren_stack]: like about the Mac code in particular, And and it's the product and also the
716
00:33:24,694 --> 00:33:29,974
[lauren_stack]: process of from the products standpoint, Um. The fact that it is a consensus
717
00:33:30,134 --> 00:33:34,374
[lauren_stack]: of all segments of the industry where you take input, and, and it's an open Uh
718
00:33:34,614 --> 00:33:40,534
[lauren_stack]: forum for people to submit change orders, Um. it just it's an inclusive in
719
00:33:40,694 --> 00:33:45,174
[lauren_stack]: inclusive Uh code. And so that that we like and and from the process
720
00:33:45,654 --> 00:33:48,374
[lauren_stack]: standpoint it's also very deliberate. You know, you have
721
00:33:49,574 --> 00:33:54,294
[lauren_stack]: a a three year cycle. It, you submit change orders That goes to committee. The
722
00:33:54,374 --> 00:33:57,974
[lauren_stack]: research is done. it's deliberated, it's brought before the whole committee
723
00:33:58,054 --> 00:34:00,214
[lauren_stack]: for a vote. I mean it's It's a very,
724
00:34:01,254 --> 00:34:07,414
[lauren_stack]: um, you know, understood process on how things flow and repeatable, and so
725
00:34:01,333 --> 00:35:59,653
[andrea_nannini]: ssssssssssssss.
726
00:34:07,894 --> 00:34:13,254
[lauren_stack]: that to us is is just what makes a code reputable and and why it should become
727
00:34:13,654 --> 00:34:18,054
[lauren_stack]: the bible for the industry and the resource that it has become and is becoming
728
00:34:18,214 --> 00:34:20,134
[lauren_stack]: from any more as we move along,
729
00:34:19,971 --> 00:34:23,651
[rudy]: I couldn't agree more. I do have to ask this question. Ju. because just because
730
00:34:23,971 --> 00:34:29,251
[rudy]: everything that is going on in the world, I know you guys are all aware that yesterday
731
00:34:29,891 --> 00:34:35,811
[rudy]: the World Aquatic Health Conference pull the plug on their live face to face Um
732
00:34:36,691 --> 00:34:42,051
[rudy]: conference that was being. And what is your backup? Do you have a backup plan or we
733
00:34:42,131 --> 00:34:46,211
[rudy]: going to go forward no matter what or where we at? With that? What are your thoughts
734
00:34:45,911 --> 00:34:46,911
[rudy]: there?
735
00:34:47,662 --> 00:34:50,862
[juliene_hefter]: Sure, Well, we always have a backup. You know, we're aquatic professional.
736
00:34:51,022 --> 00:34:55,102
[juliene_hefter]: So we're always ready to react in. you know, before emergencies happen, we
737
00:34:55,262 --> 00:34:59,662
[juliene_hefter]: plan appropriately, Um, what we are doing. Our a number of things, Um, we
738
00:34:59,822 --> 00:35:03,182
[juliene_hefter]: are. first of all, there iss going to be at any given time. There's going to
739
00:35:03,182 --> 00:35:08,222
[juliene_hefter]: be a virtual option that. Um, anybody that is not able to attend in person.
740
00:35:08,622 --> 00:35:10,222
[juliene_hefter]: Um, they will be able to sign up for
741
00:35:09,860 --> 00:35:10,860
[kristie_]: I, I,
742
00:35:10,302 --> 00:35:12,062
[juliene_hefter]: a virtual option and they
743
00:35:11,620 --> 00:35:12,620

00:37:30,240 --> 00:37:41,760
[kristie_]: is, and
806
00:37:34,782 --> 00:37:39,342
[juliene_hefter]: we'll have a a good mix of everything because you know how it is. Everybody

837
00:38:51,742 --> 00:38:55,742
[juliene_hefter]: again. I, I'm excited because we probably have the bus line up we ever have
838
00:38:55,822 --> 00:38:59,422
[juliene_hefter]: had, and I think we've always had a great one. We have a lot of great new
839
00:38:59,742 --> 00:39:04,542
[juliene_hefter]: presenters, new speakers. A lot of that is from Lauren. A lot, is it that is
840
00:39:04,702 --> 00:39:08,382
[juliene_hefter]: from Christie and I just think that people are going to look at this program
841
00:39:08,682 --> 00:39:09,682
[juliene_hefter]: and be like Wow.
842
00:39:10,702 --> 00:39:14,462
[juliene_hefter]: I can't miss this. it. It is. really, and we talk about all that you know.
843
00:39:14,322 --> 00:39:15,322
[juliene_hefter]: Our different
844
00:39:16,062 --> 00:39:19,262
[juliene_hefter]: conferences that have gone on in the past. we've been approached by other
845
00:39:19,422 --> 00:39:23,582
[juliene_hefter]: ones as. well. Uh, that will be coming on board and we will be doing some
846
00:39:23,742 --> 00:39:28,702
[juliene_hefter]: collaborations and holding additional conferences in the fun future in
847
00:39:28,862 --> 00:39:33,262
[juliene_hefter]: conjunction with ours, because people can over only travel. maybe once. now.
848
00:39:33,742 --> 00:39:38,382
[juliene_hefter]: Uh, the the cost of the flights, the cost of the hotel room, So if we can,
849
00:39:38,542 --> 00:39:43,022
[juliene_hefter]: the more we can do. all at once, people can just have options, And that's
850
00:39:43,102 --> 00:39:44,702
[juliene_hefter]: what we're trying to do for 'em. so
851
00:39:44,771 --> 00:39:51,091
[rudy]: I think that's great and people do want to get back to normal, or at least back to the
852
00:39:51,091 --> 00:39:54,931
[rudy]: way we we were. And they want to go to conferences. They want to get out and see
853
00:39:55,171 --> 00:39:58,451
[rudy]: people personally. I want one of the go away bracelets that make
854
00:39:58,100 --> 00:39:59,100
[kristie_]: Yes,
855
00:39:58,611 --> 00:40:03,411
[rudy]: people go away from you, and I may wear that well beyond the pandemic, but
856
00:40:04,531 --> 00:40:06,131
[rudy]: that's just me. Uh,
857
00:40:07,731 --> 00:40:13,731
[rudy]: so I can't think of a better person to run the beyond Aquatics sessions than Christi.
858
00:40:14,051 --> 00:40:18,211
[rudy]: She' done amazing and she's made that leap beyond thequatics. I mean it's still
859
00:40:18,211 --> 00:40:23,091
[rudy]: aquatics related, but you're in a completely different role and have been as far as I
860
00:40:23,171 --> 00:40:27,891
[rudy]: can tell, doing a bang upp job at it. Um, I mean y, you haven't burned anything down
861
00:40:28,051 --> 00:40:31,811
[rudy]: yet, so that's always a good thing, but uh that programs um,
862
00:40:33,011 --> 00:40:37,971
[rudy]: come very far. Lauren and I have talked a a little bit about Um things that they have
863
00:40:38,131 --> 00:40:41,731
[rudy]: going on on over there, so I, I'm I'm very familiar with everybody here and it's just
864
00:40:41,891 --> 00:40:46,211
[rudy]: again, it's still amazing to me. Um, one thing I want to know, though, of the three li
865
00:40:44,774 --> 00:40:49,254
[lauren_stack]: One way I want to of the Fra Wd of you that with about
