Leading Pool Expert in the U.S. Announces
1000th Store Opening, Surpasses 50 Million Water
Tests, Delivers List of Pool Facts
PHOENIX, April 11,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Leslie's, Inc. (NASDAQ:
LESL), the largest and most trusted direct-to-consumer brand in the
U.S. pool and spa care industry, is turning 60. In addition to
celebrating six decades of success delivering expert pool and spa
care advice to consumers, the company also announced the opening of
its 1,000th store, surpassing its 50-million water
test milestone, and shares a useful list of pool facts.
Leslie's was founded in 1963 by Phil
Leslie Jr. in a single location in Los Angeles. The retailer has grown to a
1,000-store chain across 37 states, providing pool owners and
professionals with everything they need to keep pools and spas
clean, safe, and beautiful. The company opened its
1,000th store last week in North Port, Florida.
Leslie's has a well-earned reputation for superior customer
service and high-quality products, but its most valuable offering
is expert pool and spa care advice from knowledgeable in-store team
members and professional equipment installation and repair from
more than 200 certified service technicians.
Helping pool owners achieve a clean, safe, and beautiful pool is
Leslie's top priority, and its proprietary AccuBlue®
in-store water test with customized treatment plan is key to the
retailer's success. Leslie's AccuBlue water test is a complimentary
in-store service that takes just 60 seconds to deliver a 10-point
water test, a pool health score, and a corresponding treatment
plan. The AccuBlue technology is a product of Leslie's 60 years of
water test experience and the accumulated data from more than 50
million tests. The AccuBlue water test and treatment plan is the
most comprehensive water testing solution in the industry – and
it's provided for free at all Leslie's stores.
In addition to free water tests, Leslie's also offers:
- Free in-store inspection and repair of pool equipment, such as
pool cleaners. Pool owners simply bring in the non-working or
malfunctioning item to a Leslie's store, and a certified on-staff
expert will assess and fix it. That's free labor; shoppers only pay
for the cost of parts and materials.
- Free Pool Perks Program – members receive 5% in rewards on all
purchases and services, free shipping on lesliespool.com orders,
extended warranties on select equipment, and exclusive offers and
promotions.
- Free expert advice from 3,500-plus knowledgeable associates, as
well as helpful online resources including more than 1,500 how-to
articles and YouTube videos covering everything you need to know to
care for your pool.
Noteworthy Pool Facts
In celebration of its 60 years
of providing expert advice, Leslie's shared the following list of
interesting facts about pool care:
- Water chemistry is different across various regions of the U.S.
and water sources from local municipalities or wells can deliver
hard water, soft water, higher levels of metals, nitrates, and
increased calcium, among other nuances. Local Leslie's in-store
pool experts have regional know-how to help address localized
issues.
- Every pool should cycle its entire volume of water through the
filtration system at least once a day to remove debris, dirt, and
germs. It can take as many as eight or more hours per day to fully
cycle through, but this doesn't have to happen in one continuous
cycling process.
- Pool care can be eco-friendly and there are many modern
solutions to save energy, water, and the use of pool
chemicals.
- Solar covers are a simple way to reduce pool water evaporation
by up to 95% -- saving water and money! This easy solution helps
mitigate the loss of pool water, which can evaporate at one-quarter
inch per day in the summertime heat, more depending on the
region.
- Variable speed pumps use far less energy and are a
cost-effective alternative to single-speed pumps, which are among
the highest energy-consuming appliances for a home – second only to
an air conditioning system. According to the U.S. Department of
Energy, upgrading from a single speed pump to a variable speed pump
can reduce energy use by up to 90%.
- A well-maintained pool and pool water is not only safe, clean,
and beautiful, it can use less water than an irrigated common-sized
lawn.
- Automatic pool cleaners make cleaning a pool a breeze.
Energy-efficient robotic pool cleaners are totally self-contained
units that have their own built-in pump and filter to clean the
pool quickly and efficiently.
- Pets – especially dogs – also enjoy pools. It's important to
test your water after your pets indulge in pool time.
- Leslie's is conveniently located nationwide. There is a
Leslie's pool store within 20 minutes of 80% of the pools in the
continental U.S.
