WEK & Associates

What a week at the International Pool, Spa and Patio Expo in Dallas. It's so impressive to see how many innovative products and inspiring people are driving our industry forward. We saw so many old friends, made some new ones, and had many fantastic conversations about what the next year and beyond holds for all of our manufacturing partners, distributors, and dealers.

Just because it's the weekend doesn't mean we're resting on our laurels. DFW and West Texas Regional Sales Manager Rick Vomberg was on hand with Poolside Tech and Raypak at the Pool Nation Conference, done in conjunction with the International Pool & Spa Expo where we will all be starting tomorrow. What a great day of being with our customers and proactively teaching about both Automation and Pool Heating/Cooling - with experts from both of these amazing brands. What a big week ahead but this was a great way to kick it off!

"Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these WEK reps from the swift completion of their appointed rounds." You may be used to us talking about sun and heat waves here, but for Robin Hoch in Denver, an early November "flurry" is just another day at the office - and nothing gets in her way of getting out and helping customers. She's at Sun Country Distributing, a Heritage Pool Supply Group, Inc. branch today making sure customers know the latest about our great lines in Colorado, including Global Pool Products, Solenis, Taylor Technologies, Slick Rock, Westlake Pipe & Fittings, and more. If you're in Colorado or New Mexico and want to learn about the great products we have there, or better yet would like to schedule a training, demo, or tabletop - let us know!

Global Pool Products are totally Bad Axe! Based in Bad Axe, Michigan, the world-class team at Global is growing by building the highest-quality pool accessory equipment - and the market is taking notice. Take their rails for example, which have multiple options (including water-cooled) and can be custom-made in a better lead time than you will find anywhere else. While their rails, loungers, slides, lifts, tables, and more are winning dealers across the country, it's their commitment to top customer service that our customers love. While your customers are thinking about how to enhance their backyard experience, either now or next pool season, make sure you're showing them the high-quality products from Global. Reach out to connect with your WEK rep or one of the top sales managers at Global. Brant Rydberg Laura Coward James Preece Peter Basso Marcia Gyles

WEK would not be the same place without the timeless classic that is Jamie DeWitt, and it gives us so much joy to wish him a very happy birthday! There are way too many things at WEK that only happen because of your efforts, and we’re grateful for all that you do. We hope you had a great day and please join us in celebrating Jamie!

Our absolute favorite way to do business - out in the field helping customers up their game. Our Northeast Florida rockstar SAM HOUGH was out bright and early this morning with Picture Perfect Pools out of Tavares, Florida on an impressive install with Poolside Tech, including a CO2 feeder from Blue-White Industries. Full automation, including chem control, at its finest. One of the many reasons we love what we do here at WEK!

We love to get out and meet customers. It's just what we do! Whether we're riding in our territories with our valued manufacturing partners or out educating customers in our distribution branches or at industry events, meeting and connecting with our customers is what gives us energy. See below for some of our team out in the field in the past week. ?? Corey Osmers with PMM - Premix Marbletite Mfg. Co. at Aquabella Tile Houston on October 15 ??Rick Vomberg with Regal Rexnord/Century Motors sales leader Ryan White at SCP Distributors/ Superior Pool Products Arlington on October 14 ??SAM HOUGH with the Raypak Elevation Tour Van at Gorman Longwood Today! ??Chris Coburn discussing many of our lines, including Basecrete Technologies, Taylor Technologies, Global Pool Products and Poolside Tech at SCP Fort Myers Keep an eye out for the WEK at a branch or event near you!

We always look forward to attending the International Pool & Spa Expo as it's a chance to see how companies are leading in various parts of our industry. Education is so important, and this show is a great place to learn about trends, new products, and best practices. Take Basecrete Technologies - who will be hosting an interactive, hands-on workshop where you'll learn the ins and outs of applying top-tier waterproofing solutions. If you're in Dallas and have any upcoming new builds or remodels with tile lines, negative edges, or work where you're thinking about waterproofing, you should absolutely be in attendance for this. Waterproofing is not the industry standard today, but we believe that needs to change and it's easy to see why. Basecrete is a brand that stands behind it's products, so you can stand behind yours. If you want to know more about Basecrete ahead of the show, reach out and we will be happy to show you more.
