Summary

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.
