Welcome to the Associated Swimming Pool Industries of Florida (ASPI)

The ASPI is a local group of swimming pool builders, service companies, wholesale distributers, manufacturers, and other related professionals. We have been serving the South Florida community for 37 years. ASPI has spearheaded successful efforts to speed up plans processing and the issuing of permits and inspections. This has resulted in a saving of both time and expense to our industry and the consumer. We have also raised awareness of the proliferation of unlicensed, uninsured and unskilled individuals and have lobbied the Miami-Dade County Commission to hire additional enforcement personnel. ASPI holds its monthly meetings on the first Thursday of the month at the Piccadilly Cafeteria located at 8301 W Flagler Street in Miami, during which time all issues and concerns relating to our industry are addressed. These meetings include a free dinner, expert guest speakers, and more. They are open to all members and associates. All licensed pool professionals are invited to attend. ASPI also provides sponsorship of a college scholarship fund to our members and families who qualify. We also offer a binding arbitration clause in our contract which settles disputes without court costs and attorneys fees.

ASPI publishes a monthly newsletter called "The Pipeline". It contains the information on the upcoming meeting, information about the pool industry, columns by our lawyer, CPA, code compliance, pool technology, and photos of our past meeting or event. The July 2008 Pipeline issue is available for download (813 kb).

ASPI also sponsors several social events during the year. In the fall, we have a picnic (560k) for all members, their employees and families. The picnic for 2008 is on Sunday, November 2nd. In March, we have our annual officer installation Banquet and Dinner Dance.
