| Pleatco names Perfect Pool Guy and Gal |
Catrini Del Secco Photos courtesy Pleatco After receiving more than 300 entries by industry professionals in 37 different states, and over 1,000 votes, Pleatco, a manufacturer of filter cartridges in Glen Cove, N.Y., has named the winners of its 2009 Perfect Pool Guy and Gal contest. Gene Catrini of Lasting Impressions Pool and Spa in Royal Palm Beach, Fla., won the 2009 Perfect Pool Guy Award, while Pamela Del Secco of Diamond Pool Service in San Carlos, Calif., received this year's Perfect Pool Gal Award. Both winners received a trip for two to the Las Vegas Mandalay Bay Resort to attend the International Pool, Spa and Patio Expo next week, where they will receive their awards and be guests of honour at the Pleatco booth. In addition, each winner receives $1,000 in Pleatco Premium filter cartridges and will be featured in the company's nationwide followup ad campaign. The contest has grown considerably since its 2008 launch, prompting Pleatco to begin accepting entries for the 2010 contest early in the new year. Contestants can either enter themselves or be nominated. Entries should include a photograph, 50-word testimonial or two-minute 'imaginative' video showing why the nominee is worthy of the award.
