NC Brands announced the winners of its Amazing Pool Cleanup Contest, a contest that encourages pool professionals to submit their most compelling and creative pool-cleaning experiences, either in photos or a video submission, when using the company's Green to Clean or Yellow Out cleaner along with its Chitosan Clarifier for cleanup.
Tony Lawrence, owner of TLC Pools in La Mesa, Calif., was awarded first place — a cash prize of $5,000 — for his treatment of a 21,000 gallon swimming pool (see video below). The pool was finished in just three days. Additionally, the Superior Pool Products branch in El Cajon, Calif., was awarded an additional $1,000 credit for supplying the product used in the winning submission.
“We received so many incredible transformation pictures and videos during this contest. It was a true testament to the power of the recommended cleanup process,” says Jamie Novak, brand manager of NC Brands. “Tony used the products as directed and documented his results in an impressive and creative video testimonial.”
The Amazing Pool Cleanup Contest also presented a check to the second place winner: Matt Naser of Brothers Pools in Wallingford, Conn. Naser was awarded $2,000. In his testimony, he writes:
“Using Green to Clean along with Chitosan Clarifier, I was able to accomplish the best pool recovery in my two years as a pool cleaning technician. I loved using these chemicals due to the fact that the directions are clear, the product is easy to use and the results are not at all delayed. Within a week of my first visit to the house this pool looked beyond spectacular.”
The third place winner, Gerald Hice of Hice Pools in Tullahoma, Tenn., received a $500 check for his submission. He completed his award-winning cleanup in just 48 hours.
“The contest was so successful that we are going to run it again next year, beginning in spring of 2019,” says Novak.
The second version of the content (it celebrates consumers’ own cleanups) have yet to be announced.
