## About BlueLux

BlueLux was founded by Sam Daoud (Wisam Daoud), a former Amazon executive who saw firsthand how inconsistent the pool service industry was. After moving to Rancho Santa Fe and struggling to find reliable, transparent pool care, he built BlueLux to bring data-driven processes, honest communication, and CPO-certified expertise to pool maintenance in San Diego.

Our technicians are CPO-certified (Certified Pool Operator) through the Pool & Hot Tub Alliance (PHTA), meaning they are trained and tested on water chemistry, equipment operation, and pool safety standards.

We use digital service reporting - after every visit, customers receive a report detailing what was done, chemical readings before and after, and photos of pool condition. We carry $1M in general liability insurance.

**CPO Certification**: Our technicians hold active CPO certifications. Learn more at https://bluelux.com/cpo-certification
