COVID-19/CORONAVIRUS BUSINESS CONTINUITY AND SAFETY PLAN
​
1-888-POOLS-RX and our team have been and will continue to follow the development of the COVID-19 health concern. Our team is also keeping up with, and implementing recommendations of the Public Health Agency of Canada and the World Health Organization. We will continue monitoring and implementing evolving recommendations until the situation subsides. We intend to proceed with providing our services this year, with the following considerations in mind.
FROM THE CANADIAN POOL AND HOT TUB COUNCIL OF CANADA:
​
“Can the COVID-19 virus spread through pools and hot tubs?"
There is no evidence that COVID-19 can be spread to humans through the use of pools and hot tubs. Proper operation, maintenance, and disinfection(eg. with chlorine or bromine) of pools and hot tubs should remove or inactivate the virus that causes COVID-19.
Pool Service Technicians are defenders of public health; performing essential maintenance to open bodies of water, and prevent stagnant water to reduce the transmission of dangerous and deadly diseases through pests like mosquitos.
We strive in these tough and unpredictable times to create confidence in our relationships with all our customers that we can continue to provide our essential services in a safe and health-conscious manner. With a focus on the health and well-being of our employees, customers and suppliers we will be continuing to provide our maintenance repair services. We have put the following proactive measures in place to help protect the health and well-being of all of our customers, employees and suppliers.
PROACTIVE MEASURES AND POLICIES
​
The following measures will be put in place until further notice, in an attempt to safely provide services to all of our clients.
