The Cold Standard, a dedicated cold plunge service network, is recruiting pool and spa service professionals to keep up with demand for cold plunge repair and maintenance. The company is live in 24 markets across 9 states and is adding technicians to its network nationwide.
Cold plunges have moved from niche to mainstream in homes, gyms and recovery studios. Every one of them has a chiller, a filtration system and water to maintain. Many owners can't find anyone qualified to service them. Founder Alex Golding started The Cold Standard after running into that exact problem at his own San Diego gyms.
Pool and spa pros already have most of the skills. The Cold Standard Certified program covers the rest in eight modules, including chiller mechanics, water chemistry, commercial compliance and brand-specific service. Technicians who join the network get:
- New work without new marketing. The Cold Standard sends repair, maintenance and warranty jobs to network technicians in their area.
- A higher-value specialty. Chiller and plunge work adds a new revenue line to an existing route.
- Fast pay. Through The Cold Standard's partnership with FieldPay, technicians are paid as soon as the same day once a job is approved. They don't send invoices, and they can take early pay when they need cash sooner.
Pool companies are already making the move. Pyramid Pool Service, an IPSSA member in Austin, Texas, took its first cold plunge repair jobs through The Cold Standard in August.
"Cold Standard has given us the exciting opportunity to expand into the growing cold plunge service and repair market in Austin. It's been great working with Alex and their internal tech support for our onsite technician makes completing the jobs seamless and easy." — Pyramid Pool Service
"Every cold plunge has a chiller, a pump and water that has to stay clean, and there aren't enough people who know how to service them. Pool pros already have most of those skills. We give them the training, send them the jobs and get them paid fast. They get a new line of business without having to market for it." — Alex Golding, Founder, The Cold Standard
"The best way to recruit good technicians is to pay them well and pay them fast. When a Cold Standard job is approved, the technician can have the money that day. That's what lets an independent pro say yes to more work." — Flavia de la Fuente, CEO, FieldPay
