4 p.m. Class is the Sahara Room: Metals and Metal Staining: How Do I Prevent Them? How Do I Remove Them? by Dr. Joseph Laurino

This presentation will detail how the three different ways pool water chemistry is maintained – industry specific ranges, pool specific target values, and balance indices – impact the major sources of metal contaminants in pools and spas. It will address the common causes of metal staining and the compatibility of various disinfection and oxidation methods with metal-ionizer systems. Methods to prevent metal stains on fiberglass, membrane, plaster, and pebble pool surfaces will be presented, with an emphasis on finding and correcting the source of metal contamination. This presentation will use case studies to present the various methods to successfully remove metal stains from all pool surfaces. Common problems associated with surface remediations will be addressed along with useful troubleshooting techniques.

During his career, he has held positions in both industry and academia, and has authored numerous scientific publications.

6 p.m. Class in the Sahara Room: Financial Planning for Business Owners by Clarity Financial

Brief synopsis of key long term financial planning tenants that business owners should have to ensure their financial independence. Most people go into business in pursuit of independence but then end up so enveloped in their business that they fail to set up proper fail safes and diversification strategies to protect themselves and their families in retirement or worse, if they get hurt. There are a number of planning strategies available to make sure your most valuable financial assets are protected and working for you, especially when you aren't able or willing to keep working for them.
