Mult-Tork Filter Socket Tools - Overview

I am a big fan of small individual inventors who develop a pool products and bring them to the market. It is a long and difficult process and Tal Millican of Multi-Tork has done just that successfully. In this interview I discuss the various filter sockets and other tools that Multi-Tork has developed to help the pool service professional and homeowner save time on their pool filter cleaning.






The Multi-Tork Filter Sockets are designed to help you get the pool filter clamps on and off the filters very rapidly. You simply attach the specific socket for your filter to a drill and spin the clamp or bolt loose in a matter of seconds. These sockets work on a variety of filters by the three name brand manufacturers - Pentair, Hayward and Jandy as well as some off brand filters. This is a simple way to speed up your day if you are a pool service professional and a great tool for the Do-it-Yourself homeowner.

Time is money out in the field and if you take apart and clean multiple filters on your pool route you will be impressed with the time saved by using the Multi-Tork socket tool. If you visit their website you can see all of the various sockets that they make and also find out where you can order a socket or set of sockets.


If you like ordering off of Amazon.com I have a web page set up with some links to the more popular sockets: https://www.swimmingpoollearning.com/multi-tork

Their most popular product is the MT-301 Socket set. This includes three sockets and these sockets work on the Pentair Clean & Clear Plus, FNS Plus, 4000 Series and 2000 Series filters. They also work on the Jandy filter models as well as on the Hayward Pro Grid Filters. Hayward has a filter that is not compatible with this set, the SwimClear Filter, but you can order the MT-100H to add to these three sockets for that specific Hayward filter. The MT-301 is a perfect pack to get you started and you will be very pleased with the quality and versatility of the sockets.

Another product that Multi-Tork makes is the Button Hook drain plug removal tool. The Button Hook works especially well on the Pentair Clean & Clear Plus and Quad D.E. filters which have the drain plug directly under the inlet and outlet pipes making it very hard to reach with any standard wrench. The curved design of the Button Hook make for easy removal of that drain plug as well as a number of other manufacturer drain plugs. It is very durable and you will find it to be an essential tool for filter cleanings.

The Klorkinator is another unique tool that is designed to help with the removal of pump lids as well as chlorinator lids. This will save you from pulling a muscle while trying to loosen a lid that just won't budge. It is a fast a simple way to remove stuck or stiff lids and you will find this to be an invaluable tool out in the field.

Can I Use Clorox Bleach in my Pool?

Image
Regular Unscented Bleach I started doing pool service when I was 16 years old back in 1988. I took a break from the industry and did some Real Estate Investing and ran a small business for awhile. But I always loved working outdoors and so I decided to do pool service again. So I have about 15 years of practical experience in the field. My specialty has always been water chemistry as I was formally trained by an experts in the field. So I am well versed in most of the chemicals that are on the market today and I have used and tested a lot of different products. So when you hear those in the industry discourage and even slander anyone who uses bleach in their pool, you may think that it is not a product that you should use.

There is a lot of ignorance surrounding household bleach and the use of bleach in a swimming pool. Here is a video I made that goes in more detail on usin...

Mr. Pen Non-contact Voltage Meter - Don't Get Electrocuted!

Image
One of the biggest issues you will run into with anything connected to an AC power is if that device or equipment is receiving power. In the pool service industry, this often is the case when you find that a pool pump won’t turn on. Or if a pool timer doesn't on, is it receiving power? Also for repairs with so many breakers being unmarked, how do you know you turned off the right breaker. Bottom line, a non-contact detector like the Mr. Pen is an easy way to see if power is going to the equipment/device and the line is active. A non-contact voltage detector is just that. You don’t need to make contact with the line like with a Multimeter. Plus you don’t need to adjust any settings or knobs to get a voltage reading. Simply hold the Mr. Pen over a cord or wire whip and if there is AC power a red light will turn on and an audible beep will come out of the device. A very easy way to tell if power or a current is present.  To order: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B092LFYTG5?&_encoding=UT...
