E-248 Pool Nation Podcast. Your pools don’t have to turn green—and your profit shouldn’t disappear down the drain. In this powerhouse episode of the Pool Nation Podcast, Edgar De Jesus, John “JJ Flawless” and Zac Nicholas sit down with Adam Beech (Founder & CEO, Pool Brain) and Kevin Embree (CRO, Pool Brain) to reveal how today’s smartest service companies are harnessing AI, automated workflows, and real-time inventory to cut chemical costs up to 40 %, end customer churn, and unlock stress-free scaling.
You’ll learn:
The cringe-worthy day that pushed Adam to build his own software (and why seven other “route apps” couldn’t fix the problem).
How guided workflows, live alerts, and automated chemical dosing virtually eliminate green pools.
NEW features dropping this year—credit-card surcharge automation, full inventory with truck-level tracking, Heritage Pool Supply price syncing, and tab-dosing driven by AI weather modeling.
Why remote monitoring + Pool Brain will let you guarantee “green-pool immunity” (and charge more for it).
Proven tactics to turn hidden chemical waste and billing leaks into pure profit.
Whether you run 20 pools or 20 trucks, this episode is packed with real numbers, step-by-step advice, and a vision for the tech-powered future of pool service. Hit play and dive in!
