ADVANCE IS CLOSING ITS DOORS

I want to thank all of our clientele, employees and vendors over the years. It has been a privilege working with you. Advance Pool Service is closing its doors and I am retiring. Aqua Pools of Northampton is picking up where we left off. The Advance staff will be there. Joanna, Charlie, Brian, and Mark will still be servicing your pools. I have hugely mixed feelings about all this. A weight has been lifted, but that runs with a sadness. I’ve been serving you for so many years and will miss all of you. The gratitude I feel can’t be appropriately expressed. Sam
