Pool Blaster Hydro 500: Amazing Suction and Performance!


I must say that I am impressed by the New Hydro 500 cordless battery-operated cleaner by Water Tech. I have used and tested many Water Tech devices and the Hydro 500 was surprisingly powerful! The large debris chamber makes the old internal bag cleaners seem small in comparison. Here are some of the features of the Hydro 500 from Water Tech.



The unit will run up to 45 minutes on a full charge. Featuring a reusable Xtreme Multi-Layer Filter and large debris chamber, the Hydro 500 vacuums all types of debris including leaves, twigs, sand, and dead algae. 

The Hydro 500 comes complete with a 10.50-inch vacuum head and a smart charger which turns from red to green when the unit is fully charged. Simply attach the unit to a pool pole, turn the unit on and you are ready to vacuum.

I really like the power of this unit. The suction is pretty amazing, and it picks up dirt and leaves very well. The soft flex vacuum head is much like the one on their Pool Blaster Max unit and it does great in corner areas and has a very wide cleaning path. The new design with the large debris chamber and filter cone allow for continuous use without the cleaner losing suction. This allows you to use the Hydro 500 for longer vacuuming times without having to stop and empty a debris bag. I find that the cleaner also picks up dirt very well. The filter cone will trap most of the dirt and allow you to use the cleaner to pick up sand and dirt as well as leaf debris.

The Hydro 500 is shipped with 4 small plastic pole sections that you can assemble to make a short 5 ft pole. The included pole sections will allow you to vacuum your above ground fiberglass spa with ease and you don’t need a separate pool pole. But you can also use your standard pool pole with the Hydro 500 so it can be used to vacuum regular in-ground pools as well as spas and above ground pools. The pole easily attaches to the handle on top making vacuuming very easy to use.

The game-changer for me is that the Hydro 500 is completely water-sealed. There is no need to open up a battery compartment to charge the cleaner. Simply plug in the included adapter to the prongs on back, and it will charge the internal battery completely in less than 4 hours. No more worrying about O-rings or the seal failing on the cleaner. The average run time of the cleaner is 45 minutes which is a very good amount of vacuuming time for any rechargeable device.

If you are looking for a compact and powerful battery-operated vacuum, the Hydro 500 would be a great choice.

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. In fact as you read this article you will find that using bleach and only bleach is a safe and smart choice. 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...
