| Pool and spa
ownership is on the rise in the United States, and with it comes the
opportunity to own and operate your own professional pool and spa
maintenance business. According to the Association of Pool & Spa
Professionals, in 2005 alone, 176,500 additional in-ground pools were sold
and installed, bringing the total number of in-ground pools in the U.S. to
4.7 million. This represents an almost 10% increase in total pools since
2002. And this growth is continuing. |
