Brian talks with Mark Dorsey, P.E. about his unexpected path into the pool industry and how engineering-driven problem solving led him to create Primology, a system designed to keep pool equipment elevated, protected, and code-compliant. Mark breaks down the real-world challenges of hydraulics, flooding, and pump priming, especially in hurricane- and flood-prone areas, and shares why smarter equipment placement can save money and prevent damage. The conversation blends technical insight with practical takeaways for builders and designers looking to create more resilient, efficient pool systems.

Brian is joined by Denise Canchola de Tournillon, Vice President of River Flow Pools for a wide-ranging conversation on the powerful intersection of water, wellness, and pool design. Drawing from her background in marine biology, psychology, and two decades with River Flow, Denise explores how moving water, from lazy rivers and swim-in-place systems to residential wellness features, supports both physical exercise and mental health. Together, Brian and Denise highlight how thoughtful pool design can transform aquatic spaces into true wellness environments, reflecting an industry shift toward health-centered, experience-driven design.

Brian sits down with Matthew Ryther, Service Manager at Aqua Pura Pool Service Inc. in California, to explore his 25-year journey in the industry and his recent achievement as a GENESIS® Master CBP. Matt discusses best practices in variable-speed pump selection, energy code compliance, and water-saving strategies such as frequent testing and effective use of pool covers. He highlights the value of continued learning through the newly launched PHTA Center of Excellence, while also offering practical guidance on hiring, hands-on technician training, and elevating service professionalism through manufacturer education and design-informed problem-solving.
