Polaris PB4SQ Pressure Side Cleaner Booster Pump

The Polaris PB4SQ Booster Pump has a lot of great features and if you have a Pressure Side cleaner of any type this would be a great upgrade for your pool. Off of the top, some of the great features of this booster pump is that it is a TEFC motor which means it is completely weather sealed. Since it has a completely sealed fan it also runs much quieter than your traditional booster pumps.




Here is more on the PB4SQ from Polaris:

The PB4SQ is an energy-efficient, multistage booster pump that operates quietly and is easy to install and service. It has been designed to provide optimum power to Polaris pressure cleaners.

The fact that it is a TEFC motor means that this booster pump should be long lasting. Being completely weather-sealed will ensure that the motor will not be ruined by heavy rain or the heat of a hot summer day. The front has also been beefed up with very thick plastic unlike the older models with the very skinny front end which tends to crack and warp. If you were using car analogies this would be the Hummer of booster pumps.

I really like having the wires on top. It can be a struggle to reach the wires on the back of many of these booster pumps, especially if they are installed right against a wall. Having the wires on top makes for very easy installation and the wire configuration is very simple. You can wire either a 230V or 115V breaker so this booster pump will work with any pool set up. Because it is a ¾ hp pump the amps are very low but the power of course is sufficient to power any Pressure Side cleaner.

This booster pump will not only work with all of the Polaris Pressure Cleaners but it will also work with the Pentair and Hayward Pressure Cleaners. So no matter the brand you can easily install the PB4SQ to power your cleaner.

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
