Located in Western Pennsylvania (and situated on the Eastern Ohio border), PA Pool Service offers equipment sales and service, maintenance contracts, bulk and specialty chemical delivery, and instructional seminars for public and private engagements. We generally serve a 100-mile radius of Sharon, PA, but will gladly travel much further for customers in need of our services. We've been in the pool industry over 20 years and have the knowledge, resources, and credentials that can't be found with any other swimming pool company. Fully insured, employing a staff of technicians certified by the National Swimming Pool Foundation, licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture as Commercial Pesticide Applicators (reciprocated in Ohio), and licensed by the State of Ohio for Boiler Installations, we offer quality in service that cannot be matched. Service is our number one priority. Our clients never compete for our time as is common with pool installation companies, cleaning supply firms, and organizations who are stretching to be involved in too many markets.

Since CPSC Chairwoman Inez Tennenbaum's widely publicized statement on a national morning television show where she confirmed that CPSC would be stepping up inspection and enforcement of the Virginia Graeme Baker pool and spa safety act, word has come in from APSP members, public health officials and other stakeholders that that inspections have indeed begun.
APSP has learned that CPSC compliance staff and contracted inspectors have been in the field in Georgia, Michigan, Florida and other states inspecting pools with mixed results.
"We support the provisions of the VGB, particularly in that they align with ANSI/APSP-7 Standard for Suction Entrapment Avoidance" said Carvin DiGiovanni, APSP senior director, technical and standards. "APSP has provided CPSC with our VGB Checklist/Field verification forms to ensure that pools are accurately and efficiently inspected."
So that APSP can represent your members' interests and address this problem with CPSC directly, APSP asks that members who have had pools inspected by CPSC or its representatives to let us know about any problems with the inspection.
Please note the inspector's name and forward any materials (check lists, reports, etc.) that you received to Carvin DiGiovanni, Senior Director Technical and Standards, at CDiGiovanni@APSP.org or 703/838-0083, ext. 149, fax: 703/549-0493.
APSP has developed a number of resources to help public pool operators achieve and verify compliance, including a field checklist and a drain safety kit. These tools and services are available through PA Pool Service, LLC. You can set up an appointment for compliance verification by calling (724) 347-2868.
