Dyeing Your Pool Green For St. Patrick's Day Can Be an Unlucky Mistake

We’re all about getting into the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day and here at Pool Magazine we have some creative suggestions on how to decorate the backyard for the holiday that we’ll discuss a little later. With that said, we can’t say that we’re very big fans of the social media fad of dyeing your pool water green to celebrate. In fact, according to most pool professionals, dyeing your pool water any color can be a recipe for an unlucky and costly maintenance headache that pool owners definitely will not want to deal with.

Why Do Folks Want To Dye Their Pool Green?

Your first experience with dyeing a large body of water may have come from witnessing what happens in the city of Chicago. The Windy City dyes the Chicago River green in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day every year and has done so since the tradition first began in 1962. Each year a group dumps around 50 pounds of vegetable dye into the river which transforms the color of the water into a shamrock green color.

The Journeymen Plumbers Local Union 130 did the honors this year using 2-3 motorboats to spread the dye. The green color lasts a few days. It only takes around 45 minutes for the entire river to turn bright green. Over 400,000 attendees gather around the river to watch and it’s a lovely event for the city of Chicago.

Dyeing Your Pool Green Isn’t a Smart Idea

To be perfectly clear though, this is not one that we recommend trying to recreate at home in your own backyard and there are some very straightforward reasons why. A few years back a buddy of mine was renting a home with a pool in the East Bay in California. He decided to throw an impromptu pool party for St. Patrick’s day and thought it would be a fun idea to dye the pool green for the party.

Wanting to imitate the look and party vibe that the city of Chicago has going is one thing, but the maintenance chore of cleaning up the pool after the party is one that perhaps he hadn’t anticipated. I seem to recall a prodigious and panicked scrubbing session to remove green dye residue that had discolored the tiles. Probably not the smartest thing to do in a rented home but that’s a whole other headache to discuss which has more to do about protecting your investment by setting some ground rules about how your rental property is used by tenants.

Friends who attended the party remarked how weird it was swimming in a green pool. The water was so cloudy that it was impossible to use the pool even with the lights on once the sun went down. Cleaning the pool proved to be harder than anticipated. My friend’s efforts didn’t pay off nearly as well as he would have liked and his landlord ultimately wound up charging him a fee to have the pool professionally cleaned.

Advice From Professionals – Don’t Dye It

We asked pool professionals what they thought about the practice of dyeing your pool green for Saint Patrick’s day. “If I walked up on a pool that had been dyed green, I’m pretty sure my brain would short-circuit,” said Derrick Todd of Aquanut Academy, “Dyeing the water in a pool causes all sorts of maintenance headaches.”

“For instance, cleaning the filters (can be difficult) as the dye pigments tend to build up there,” explained Todd, “that’s if the filter can even catch them. A cartridge only filters down to about 10 microns. There is always the possibility of staining the pool surface,” said Todd.

Adverse Chemical Reactions

“You also have to be careful with your pool chemistry as the dye can react negatively with harsh chemicals like shock or acid- which means (if you’re having a pool party); you will not be able to treat the pool for heavy bather loads like you normally would,” explained Cole Daasnes of Poseidon Pools, a Roseville Pool Service company located in Northern California.

Daasnes suggested that by attempting to fake dye your pool a green color, you may end up with a really green pool for your trouble. “If you’re dyeing your pool you’ll be limiting the amount of circulation and filtration after application to make sure you get the desired effect and that it actually lasts (and doesn’t just filter out). Consequently, by limiting your circulation, filtration, and chemicals- you may actually end up with a real green pool only it’ll be caused by algae instead of dye.”

Using The Wrong Dye & Water Clarity Concerns

“I would be nervous that if the right dye isn’t used it could turn everything green. Baskets, filter cartridges, etc.,” said Kelli Clancy of Legacy Pool Spa Service in Sacramento, “I would also be concerned about how long the dye is in the water although I know there are some pool water dyes that with chlorine will oxidize off. My other concern obviously is seeing the bottom of the pool clearly which is more to do with drowning prevention.”

“It seems to go against everything we stand for. After all, we’ve made an entire career out of keeping pools from going green,” said Rudy Stankowitz of Talking Pools, “A little bit of pigment and a surfactant as a spreading agent and voilà; you too can have a swimming pool that looks like you haven’t touched it in weeks just in time for St. Paddy’s Day. Not only that, overuse of color additive can run the risk of the plaster hanging on to that color longer than you had planned.”

Cleaning Up The Mess

Some folks opt to take things a step further than dye and use green paint. Cleaning the pool the day after St. Patrick’s day is when the real chore starts if green paint was used said Stankowitz, “It’s all Éirinn go Brách until the color doesn’t fade, that’s when the 911 calls on the 18th begin,” explained Stankowitz, “By the luck of the Irish, it doesn’t take a pot of gold to fix – the remedy involves the same steps one would follow in any case of vandalism involving paint. Add 40 oz of Pool First aid (the only enzyme product I know of rated for treatment of vandalized water). Filter, backwash, and repeat every 48 hours until the pool water is again clear.”

Throwing a St. Patrick’s Day Themed Pool Party The Right Way

When you use dyes or chemicals in your pool water, you can inadvertently cause damage to the filter and other components. It’s also very easy to cause hard to remove stains. After the party, you must scrub clean the tiles and deck to remove any remaining residue from the dye.

It is a time-consuming and labor-intensive activity that is more trouble than it’s worth. Therefore, unless you love a good “I told you so”, avoid dyeing your pool green for a St. Patrick’s Day pool party.

Tips For Throwing A St. Patrick’s Day Themed Pool Party

Due to the fact that chemical dyes are not healthy for your pool, it’s a smart idea to consider other methods of hosting a St. Patrick’s day themed pool party. Green is the appropriate color, however it’s better to achieve the look with green LED lights to illuminate the pool and spa without using dye.

Bright LED lights will produce a green hue without the maintenance headache. To be clear, there is absolutely no reason why your pool water should ever be dyed to fit any type of party theme.

All it takes is some smart preparation and the right party accessories to create a St. Patricks holiday theme in your backyard. To create the right vibe for St. Patrick’s day, choose green-toned party décor, lighting, and other elements. To get into party mode, you can prepare green-themed food and offer green beverages in green glasses.

Additionally, decorate your pool with green pool accessories such as balloons, floats, floating lights, and floating hats. Whatever you choose, keep it consistent with the theme for the best results.

NJ Municipal Workers Accused of Stealing Pool Chemicals For Their Own Business

Four New Jersey municipal workers are accused of stealing pool chemicals and overbilling for certifications.

NJ Municipal Workers Accused of Stealing Pool Chemicals For Their Own Business

In a case that’s sending shockwaves through both municipal government and the pool service world, four employees from the Secaucus Recreation Department are facing serious charges for allegedly stealing thousands of dollars in pool chemicals from a public facility to support their private pool maintenance operation.

Four Accused of Stealing Pool Chemicals For Their Own Pool Service Business

According to Secaucus police, the group—comprised of John T. Schwartz, 61; Joseph Ferrara, 27; Frank N. Flanagan, 32; and Megan R. Wofsy-Flanagan, 31—used their town positions to boost their side business, Crystal Clear Pool and Spa Management, at the expense of local taxpayers.

Authorities allege that the four were routinely stealing pool chemicals from the Secaucus Swim Center during and after their scheduled shifts. The materials, intended to maintain public pools, were instead redirected to private customer accounts across Hudson, Bergen, Morris, and Somerset counties. In many cases, Crystal Clear billed its clients for the stolen chemicals, turning a profit while drawing down town inventory. Investigators also revealed that town-owned vehicles were sometimes used to make service calls, further blurring the line between public duty and private enterprise.

But the alleged scheme didn’t stop at chemical theft.

Four municipal workers are accused of stealing thousands of dollars in pool chemicals and double-billing for lifeguard certification fees.

Accusations of Double Billing For Certification Fees

Crystal Clear also operated lifeguard certification courses—a business that overlapped with the employees’ municipal duties. As part of their town roles, some of the suspects were responsible for certifying lifeguards at the Secaucus Swim Center. Investigators allege that Crystal Clear charged trainees a fee for the classes while simultaneously billing the town for the same certifications. Instructors, who were already on the town payroll, were sometimes double-dipping—getting paid by the town while Crystal collected course fees from the participants.

Adding to the concerns, the certification classes were often held inside the Secaucus Recreation Center, but Crystal Clear reportedly never paid for use of the facility. Police say most of the lifeguard classes were led by Megan Wofsy-Flanagan, who also happened to serve as the town’s head lifeguard.

Each of the four suspects held key roles in the department: Schwartz was the manager of recreation facilities; Flanagan oversaw special events and pool maintenance; Ferrara worked as the assistant manager of the town pool; and Wofsy-Flanagan led lifeguard operations. Their intertwined municipal and business responsibilities gave them access—and, allegedly, a cover—for what investigators describe as a wide-ranging scheme to misuse town resources.

Investigators Were Tipped Off

The investigation began back in March when a concerned resident tipped off police about irregularities in supply usage at the town pool. A series of search warrants—served Tuesday at the Secaucus Recreation Center and the Flanagans’ home—led to the arrests of all four individuals.

Each has been charged with theft, conspiracy to commit theft, and theft of services.

In a public statement, Town Administrator Gary Jeffas said, “The Town of Secaucus is very disheartened by the alleged actions of the employees who have been charged. That being said, we have taken swift action and can ensure the public that any violation of their trust by a town employee, or anyone else, will not be tolerated.”

As of press time, attorneys for Schwartz and the Flanagans were not listed in court records. All four individuals are expected to face legal proceedings in the coming weeks.

The case has drawn attention not just for the dollar amount involved, but for how easily the lines between public service and private enterprise can become blurred when oversight falls short. With municipal and private pool operations often relying on the same skilled personnel, the story raises real questions about internal controls, access to materials, and the responsibilities that come with dual roles

Latham Pools: Driving Innovation as They Approach a Platinum Milestone

Published

on

As Latham Pools prepares to celebrate its 70th anniversary next year, the company shows no signs of slowing down. On the contrary, CEO Scott Rajeski says the company is leaning harder than ever into what made them a leader in the first place — innovation, execution, and an unwavering focus on the customer experience.

Reflecting after connecting at this year’s Pool & Spa Show in Atlantic City, Rajeski observed a noticeable resurgence of energy in the pool sector. “The excitement, the enthusiasm at the show — it was probably one of the better shows in many years,” he shared. “Traffic was great, attendance was up, and, you know, a lot of buzz back in the industry, which is great for all of us.”

Meeting the Moment: The Rise of Plunge Pools

One of Latham’s most talked-about recent developments is their expanded plunge pool collection — a timely response to changing consumer demands as lot sizes continue to shrink across North America.

“The response has been phenomenal,” Rajeski said. “People are using their pool in the backyard as an entertainment feature these days. You know, the Milan has really resonated, and we’ve just launched the vinyl liner package pool Calypso series in four configurations. Starting with a very simple pool, but then one that becomes more and more feature-rich over time, with benches and ledges that are in there.”

Latham’s plunge pools are designed not just for smaller spaces, but for faster, easier installation — a major advantage in today’s tight labor market. Their new Calypso series was recognized at the International Pool | Spa | Patio Expo for its innovation in installation time, energy efficiency, and ease of maintenance.

“It’s a very simple design. It’s a really easy install for a pool builder,” Rajeski explained. “More importantly, it’s a much faster install, so the consumer’s able to get into their backyard and get into their pool and enjoy it much quicker.”

Turning Challenges Into Opportunities

Amid recent reports of widespread issues with concrete pool deterioration — sometimes called “concrete cancer” (ASR) — Latham sees an opportunity to educate consumers about alternatives like fiberglass.

“It’s unfortunate for all the homeowners who bought one of those pools and are experiencing going through these issues and concerns,” Rajeski said. But the shift in consumer awareness aligns perfectly with Latham’s long-standing messaging.

“We’ve been trying to market the benefits of fiberglass against concrete pools. I do think this gives us another opening in terms of educating consumers, builders about fiberglass — the opportunity, whether it’s the faster install, the low-cost maintenance… you’re getting a shell built in one of our factories, delivering it right to the backyard, setting that vessel in the ground, and the homeowner never has to worry about anything again.”

Timing has worked in Latham’s favor. Their “Sand State Strategy” — a focused and concerted effort to expand its market penetration launched just as headlines about concrete pool issues became more prominent.

“We’re advertising and marketing all of the benefits of fiberglass pools — the ownership, the faster install, the customization, the cost benefits versus a concrete pool. We’ll continue to drive the awareness of fiberglass ownership.”

Leading the Digital Revolution in Pool Buying

Latham’s innovation isn’t limited to product design — it extends into technology platforms designed to transform the pool-buying experience.

Tools like the Latham Pool Visualizer, which allows consumers to see how a pool would look in their backyard via augmented reality, were born out of real-world frustrations.

“You’re out there spray painting your backyard, moving templates around, trying to get a feel of what it’s going to look like,” Rajeski recalled. “I remember I said, you know, imagine if you could come up with a tool — just like in Christmas Vacation with Clark Griswold when he imagines the pool in his backyard and he can visually see what it’s going to look like.”

Visualizers not only enhances the consumer experience but also accelerate the sales cycle, said Rajeski. “It was all about enabling the pool buying decision for the homeowner, but also generating a lead direct to the dealer to hook the consumer and build their opportunity to close the sale.”

Latham’s tech ecosystem also includes Measure by Latham Pools — an AI-powered device that uses LIDAR and HD cameras to create precise measurements for safety covers and vinyl liners in minutes.

“It all started with a conversation about the disruption caused by measuring a liner in the backyard… very time-consuming, completely manual, and lots of opportunities for mistakes,” Rajeski explained.

Instead of requiring a two- or three-week process with multiple site visits, Measure by Latham Pools can map a pool with one technician in under 30 minutes. “It designs and quotes the liner or cover immediately and sends that quote right back where you can hit the button, create the purchase order, and send all of that design and cut sheets right back to our manufacturing facilities to produce that liner.”

It’s a major efficiency boost for both dealers and homeowners. “Now they’re measuring four or five times more liners in a particular day… It’s a huge profitability play for the builder.”

Importantly, the system’s built-in AI continuously improves with use. “The more measurements we collect, the smarter the device gets — cutting that design time down, hopefully eventually to 10 or 15 minutes.”

Strengthening the Connection Between Consumers and Builders

In tandem with its visualizer and measuring technology, Latham developed the My Latham platform — an all-in-one system that keeps consumers organized and engaged throughout the pool planning process.

“What we’re trying to be is the salesperson out there connecting the person who’s interested in a pool to the pool builder who can install it for that homeowner,” Rajeski said. “We nurture them through that entire buying process… then make that connection of a hot sales lead to one of our best builders in that area or zip code.”

Everything — from educating homeowners about fiberglass vs. concrete, to offering AR visualization, financing options, and finding a local builder — is streamlined through My Latham, making it easier than ever to turn dreams into backyard realities.

The Road Ahead: Innovation at Full Speed

As Latham looks ahead to its Platinum Anniversary in 2026, innovation remains at the heart of its vision for the future.

“We’ve talked a lot about launching many new, innovative models and pools that will resonate in specific geographies,” Rajeski revealed. “Smaller pools with built-in spas and ledges — just beautiful designs that will fit in those smaller backyards.”

Beyond new designs, Latham is also focused on upgrading manufacturing capabilities to produce models faster. “Cycle time, speed to market, the ability to produce more models for builders faster — that’s where we’re headed.”

Rajeski credits the company’s success to its people: “It’s having extremely bright and talented individuals in the organization — from marketing, to engineering, to the hourly folks making the pools in the factory, to the truck driver delivering that pool right to the backyard.”

At the end of the day, he said, it’s about helping families create lifelong memories. “Everyone dreams of having that swimming pool, celebrating life’s memories and moments… it’s not every day you get to wake up, come to work, do something that makes people’s dreams come true.”

As Latham nears its 70th year, that mission remains stronger — and more innovative — than ever.
