As he walked with dust in his eyes down the long highway that is Route 66, he was confronted with a choice: Should he continue living as a drifter or pursue his calling as a glorified pool boy. Luckily for West Michigan, he chose the latter.

Adam Soehner, Operations Manager
In Adam's early years he was recognized by his peers as a gifted napper and eater. As a young adult, these gifts propelled Adam into the world of competitive eating in which he proudly took 2nd runner up at Cheboygan City Fair eating competition, a record that stands today. With his career at such heights, sadly the politics involved with competitive eating forced Adam to move on to his real passion, science. Unbeknownst to many, even family and friends, Adam was a closeted chemistry fanatic. He could be found in that closet running tests and experiments every night. Eventually he emerged and was recruited by Pools Plus to use his chemistry powers for good, balancing customers pool and spa water. As you have likely heard it said, even though Adam's pH is 14, he is anything but basic.

Faith Potter, South Store Manager
Faith has always been inspired by the little mermaid princess and adored how she could clearly see all the scales on her tail while she swam through the water. One day Faith was flapping her look alike mermaid tail in her cloudy pool. As she was doing a mermaid flip she smashed her head into the side of the pool because she could not see and was rushed to the hospital. She entered into a coma where she dreamed about being under the sea with her mermaid friends. When she awoke from her coma 6 months later she had the realization that everyone needs to have clear water in their pools so they can swim fearlessly. She got a job at Pools Plus where they granted her the dream of clearing cloudy water for all the people of the pool kingdom and now she never has to worry about not being able to see the scales on her mermaid tail ever again.

Ike, Holland Store Manager
Ike... who is he? What can be said about him? ...Except that he spent too many years fighting to right the wrongs of the world as a private detective. Too many close calls... too many nights spent with his nose to the grind stone, up to his neck in mysteries. He found peace poolside... the sound of the water gently lapping at the vinyl pool walls. There was only one mystery that still ate away at him... what was this cloudiness that plagued the water?.... Due to his previous life as a private detective... his identity remains a secret...
