After perfecting his craft in Florida, Colin, founder of Caliber Pool Pro, is excited to bring his expertise back to the Jersey Shore. With a deep love for pools and a strong commitment to safety, Caliber Pool Pro is ready to help the coastal communities with top-tier diagnostics, safety audits, and leak detection services. Here’s a look at how the knowledge gained in Florida is set to improve pools along the Shore.

Why the Jersey Shore? A Homecoming with Purpose

For Colin, returning to New Jersey is both a personal journey and a strategic decision. The Jersey Shore, with its blend of historic charm, seasonal challenges, and tight-knit communities, aligns perfectly with Caliber’s mission to provide customized solutions that prioritize both safety and quality.

Many of the area’s older pools—built before modern safety regulations—require special attention. Issues like compromised bonding and electrical systems, outdated drain covers, anchor cups, ladders, handrails, and pool lights are common, and this is where Caliber’s Florida experience comes into play. In Florida, Colin worked on addressing similar challenges, fine-tuning his skills in pool diagnostics and repairs, and now brings that expertise to New Jersey.

Additionally, the Shore’s changing seasons present unique opportunities and challenges. While Florida’s year-round pool use offers different considerations, New Jersey’s cold winters require careful winterization, and spring openings demand extra attention to preserve pools' plaster and equipment.

Services Tailored for Shore Life

Caliber Pool Pro brings a suite of services honed in Florida's competitive pool market, now adapted for New Jersey’s coastal environment:

  1. Comprehensive Inspections: Thorough evaluations of structural integrity, electrical safety (including bonding grids, anchor cups, ladders, handrails), and equipment efficiency—critical for aging Shore pools that require more attention.
  2. Leak Detection Mastery: Using advanced technology like hydrophones and dye testing, Colin can quickly identify leaks in pool shells, plumbing, and skimmers—a common problem in coastal areas with shifting soil.
  3. Energy & Safety Audits: Ensuring pumps, heaters, and other equipment meet modern efficiency standards while addressing safety risks, like entrapment hazards or faulty barriers.
  4. Plaster Startup Care: Critical for new installations or renovations, this service helps ensure the proper curing of plaster during the first 30 days to ensure longevity.
  5. Code Compliance for Commercial Pools: Preparing commercial pools for the season with a focus on code compliance and safety standards, so they’re ready for safe operation all year long.
  6. Pool Opening/Closing Services: Caliber provides full seasonal services to prepare pools for the summer and safely close them for winter, ensuring your pool is properly maintained throughout the year.

Safety First: Protecting Shore Families

Safety is Colin’s top priority, especially when it comes to the pools families rely on at the Jersey Shore. He believes that following safety regulations, such as NEC electrical codes and VGBA drain cover standards, is more than just a professional responsibility—it’s a personal one.

Caliber Pool Pro is dedicated to finding and fixing safety issues, including checking for outdated drain covers, damaged bonding grids, and compromised pool features like anchor cups, ladders, handrails, and pool lights—common issues in older pool setups. With his experience in both Florida and New Jersey, Colin brings fresh ideas and best practices to ensure Shore pools meet the latest safety standards.

From Florida to the Shore: A Seamless Transition

Though relocating a business is always a challenge, Caliber Pool Pro was ready for the transition, thanks to its solid foundation in Florida. Colin points out similarities between Florida and New Jersey: both have coastal saltwater pools, a range of pool designs, and a strong emphasis on energy efficiency. However, New Jersey’s distinct seasonal freezes require careful planning and special attention to winterizing and spring opening.

The Jersey Shore’s suburban feel also suits Caliber’s values. With towns like Spring Lake and Asbury Park blending historical character with modern amenities, Caliber is perfectly positioned to serve the needs of Shore residents.
