What is the big deal of belonging to APSP, and what is APSP?
APSP is short for the Association of Pool and Spa Professionals. It is more important that your pool builder belong to that than the BBB. By belonging to APSP your builder is showing some commitment to the pool industry. It would be good to know whether your builder attends the meetings too. By attending APSP meetings your pool builder will get updates on regulation changes in the industry that help protect consumers. These meetings are important to serious pool builders because many things are discussed about the pool industry as a whole for the good of the pool builders and the consumers. Our company is not only a member, but I also serve as the GRAC representative. The GRAC representative is the person who works with the government on any issues that need to be addressed in the industry. I go to most of the APSP meetings and see that less than half of our members are coming to the meetings. Just belonging to a group does not make you a committed pool builder.
