Pool Cleaning Equipment List: the Equipment I Prefer

 I recently hosted a pool cleaning equipment webinar on Skype for the group members. Here is the edited webinar with slides and video clips for you. Glen, the creator of the Bottom Feeder dropped in and spent some time talking about the Bottom Feeder and future updates! I cover everything from your leaf rake to vacuum systems in this talk.



 I am in a unique position where I started doing weekly pool service back in 1988 and from this point have used various pool nets, poles, and cleaning equipment so I have become a default expert in what I consider to be the best equipment.

 Here is a summary of the cleaning equipment I like. You can find most of these at your local pool store or wholesale supplier but here are some links to them and manufacturer websites for quick reference.

Aiper Seagull 3000 Cordless Type Robotic Pool Cleaner

About a year ago I tested and filmed two Aiper cleaners, one very similar to this one but with a traditional cord. The other Aiper cleaner was a compact battery-operated unit which I think lacked cleaning time and didn’t have great programming. The Aiper Seagull 3000 is like a combination of these two cleaners and I think this time around Aiper got it right. The Seagull 3000 is a cordless type cleaner since it has a floating battery and an 8ft cord attached to that so technically it is not entirely cordless.

The floating battery gives this cleaner plenty of power and a 2 hour cleaning time so it is a good compromise in my opinion. Note that the battery cord is only 8 feet 2” in length to the maximum depth of a pool you can use this in is 8 ft. So it is designed for a small to the medium pool and with the 2 hour run time you couldn’t effectively use it in a large pool anyway.  




The Seagull 3000 utilizes a built-in, rechargeable, 7800mAh Battery so the 2-hour run time is accurate in my testing. So far I have run the cleaner in two different pools several times and it is performing very well. The cleaning time is good enough for a 14,000-gallon pool or less. 

There is an app that you can download and connect the cleaner with and I must say although the app is simple it connects via Bluetooth quite quickly and holds the signal surprisingly well. I suspect because the controller floats in the pool allowing for an easy connection. In the app, you can see the remaining battery life, a very nice feature and you can fine-tune the cleaning cycle. You can set it to do a combination of floor and wall cleaning modes giving you more cleaning flexibility. 

I think the coolest and a useful feature in the app is the ability to take manual control of the cleaner and in manual mode, you can make the cleaner go forward, backward, left, and right allowing you to spot clean your pool if needed. Having a way to control the cleaner is a very nice feature and one that can come in handy for sure. All in all the app works well and it is simple enough. 

The cleaner is a top-loading type which is convenient and the debris chambers are quite large. I don’t know the micron rating of the canisters but I will assume ut is around 100 microns as very fine dust will not be trapped by the cleaner. I wonder if Aiper will have a finer debris canister soon, but so far I don’t see one listed on their site.


If you read the reviews most of the one-star reviews on their previous models were about the drive belt breaking issue. So you may want to purchase a few extra from the link above if you decide to go with the Aiper cleaner. That seems to be the one part the wears out on these cleaners. For the price point of the cleaner that is to be expected. I believe it is a warranty part but I am not sure of what the 24-month warranty will cover. 

For the entry price point, the Aiper Seagull 3000 has a lot to offer and it is worth looking at if you are in the market for a mid-range priced cleaner.

The Hayward pHin is Dead

The pHin started in 2014 as a concept when these smart pool monitors were first coming online. They were a $7 million start-up and the pHin began to dominate the market. This caused ripples in the industry and many pool pros were worried that these smart pool monitors would replace them one day. Fast forward to Dec 20th, 2021, and the pHin is now discontinued and in all intents and purposes a paperweight now.


Here is the email from Hayward about the shutdown of pHin:

Dear David,

Unfortunately, we have made the difficult decision to end the pHin service on December 20, 2021, and close the pHin business. We are grateful to the customers who were so supportive of pHin. We understand this news is abrupt and would like to help provide answers to your questions.

Please note that your subscription to pHin has expired and is completed and you will not be charged for a renewal or any further charges from pHin.  

Will I still be able to use my pHin?

No, the service will no longer be available once it is shut down on December 20, 2021. Your pHin monitor will no longer be actively measuring your pool chemistry. The pHin app will no longer be active but will have information on the end of monitoring services.

What about my subscription?

Your annual subscription was fulfilled and not renewed, so no further action is necessary. 

What should I do with my pHin?

We recommend recycling your floating pHin monitor. Best Buy stores accept most electronic devices or you can search for a local drop off location at Recycle Nation www.recyclenation.com/find

Again, thank you for your support. Please contact customer care with any questions.  

Missing from this email is any real explanation of why the pHin devices will be turned off and why Hayward couldn’t at least continue to allow users to monitor their device readings. Hayward must have been bleeding money with the pHin to abandon the users so abruptly. 

Some things that went wrong here are obvious. Hayward is an equipment company and the pHin although it was kind of a piece of equipment the whole concept of the device was to sell chemicals to the user. After taking the pH and ORP reading the pHin would recommend chemicals for you to purchase linked to a local pool store. In the beginning, it was set up as a mail-order device and you would get your chemicals delivered. The pHin was truly out there in left field for Hayward and not part of their core business which was manufacturing pool equipment.

Hayward also tried to sell the pHin as a replacement for your pool service company. A bad move in many ways as a big part of their equipment sales was to pool pros. So Hayward was talking out of both sides of their mouth here. Trying to get the homeowner to fire their pool guy and at the same time wanting their pool guy to buy their products. Bad marketing for sure.

Last, the pHin was limited for the price of $299 and the $100 annual subscription fee. It only read pH, ORP, and the water temperature. There are other important water test factors like Alkalinity, Calcium Hardness, and Cyanuric Acid levels. And let's not forget the most important, Free Chlorine. Yes, they tried to incorporate a test strip that could be scanned for these other readings but this required user interface of a level of actual physical weekly water testing. Which the pHin was designed to eliminate. It would be like creating a word processing software with a spell checker that only looked for errors in capitalization and punctuation and for checking the spelling you had to use a dictionary yourself. 

The final nail in the coffin was that the pHin relied on ORP to determine if the pool water was safe or not. So many, many users got the “Unsafe” red warning on their home screens when the ORP dipped below a certain level. But to keep the ORP in the safe zone the homeowner would need to keep the pH below 7.4 and the Chlorine level at 5 ppm. Unrealistic in both regards. 

My advice to Hayward if I was invited into the board room meeting about the pHin in 2018, stay in your lane. Keep making great pool equipment and stop dabbling in things that are not your core business.

SUTRO Pro and SUTRO Accuracy Test - is the SUTRO Smart Monitor Accurate?

Sutro recently came out with their Pro app and a program for builders and pool service professionals to link multiple Sutro devices into the app so you can monitor your customer’s accounts with the Sutro Smart Monitor. This app allows you to install a Sutro at a customer’s pool and monitor Free Chlorine, pH and Alkalinity, and water temperature via Wifi or LTE over the internet and allows you to see these readings anywhere where you have an internet connection.




The applications of this are that if you do startups the Sutro will take 3 readings per day for you and this will help with any warranty requirements from the builder. Since the Sutro will take the FC, pH, and ALK (and Temperature) – four test factors of the Saturation Index, if you are computing the LSI at this pool all you will need is the Calcium Hardness reading and CYA at the initial fill and the Sutro will monitor the rest for you as long as it remains in the pool. 

If you are a builder you can offer the Sutro to your customers for some time. Three months, 6 months, or 1 year, and the Sutro will monitor the water chemistry for the client making the transition from non-pool owner to a pool owner that much smoother.

As a pool pro, you can also install the Sutro at your premium accounts and monitor these test factors 3 times a day all month long. For the pool store, you can hand a customer the Sutro and Hub and then monitor their pool for them to help troubleshoot their chemistry issues. There are of course other applications with the Sutro Pro app for your service business. 

The device is also backward compatible for test factors that will be added later like Cyanuric Acid (CYA). They are also working on an LSI Calculator for the app for a future release. Here is the cost breakdown for you.

The pricing of the Sutro Pro is still being worked out and you can email Sutro directly to learn more about the price point for multiple devices.

Phone Support (USA): 1-415-480-3663
M-F 9:00am to 5:00pm PST
Email Support (USA): support@mysutro.com
M-S 9:00am to 9:00pm PST

I thought since I had the 3 Sutro units I would do an accuracy test. I also have one of the most accurate reagent photometers by LaMotte the ColorQ 2X Pro 9 which has NSF-approved reagents (they have been independently verified to be accurate). 

So I put all 3 Sutro units in my pool and then linked them into the Sutro Pro app. The results were what I expected as all the devices read similar test factors within the margin of error. I don’t think it is possible by the laws of physics to get 4 different tests to line up exactly but they were pretty darn close to each other. You can see the results in the video and I also made sure to do all the testing within 30 minutes of each other to ensure at least time was a limiting factor. 

Rest assured that when you install a Sutro at your client's home it will give you accurate readings. If you are a consumer and are interested in a Sutro you can order one here:

Which Taylor Test Kit is Best?

 I have been using the Taylor Test kits almost from day one when I started pool service back in the late 1980s and early '90s. One thing that sets Taylor apart from many other kits is the number of test factors their K-2000 kits can perform. You can do Free Chlorine & Combined Chlorine, Total Alkalinity, pH with acid demand and base demand, Calcium Hardness, and Cyanuric Acid. 



As in the podcast, I suggest one of these three test kits for professional and homeowner use (you can also purchase the version in Spanish and one that does salt or salinity level testing):

K-2005* (Spanish : K-2005S*)
Complete-high (uses DPD): chlorine 1–10 ppm; bromine 2–20
ppm; pH 7.0–8.0; acid & base demand; total alkalinity;
calcium hardness; cyanuric acid; .75 oz. bottles

K-2005-SALT*
Same tests as K-2005, plus a test for sodium chloride.
Available in a case pack of six (K-2005-SALT-6)

K-2006* (Spanish : K-2006S*)
Complete-high (uses FAS-DPD): chlorine 1 drop = 0.2 or 0.5
ppm; pH 7.0–8.0; acid & base demand; total alkalinity;
calcium hardness; cyanuric acid; .75 oz. bottles
Available in a case pack of six (K-2006-6)

K-2006-SALT*
Same tests as K-2006, plus a test for sodium chloride.
Available in a case pack of six (K-2006-SALT-6)

K-1005
9-WAY (DPD)
Free & Total Chlorine .5–5 ppm
Total Bromine 1–10 ppm
pH 6.8–8.2 (with acid & base demand)
Total Alkalinity 1 drop = 10 ppm
Calcium Hardness 1 drop = 10 ppm
Cyanuric Acid 30–100 ppm
(includes I Never Liked Chemistry
booklet)


Recently, Taylor went through the NSF certification process. This involved an extensive plant inspection as well as thorough laboratory testing of test kit procedures.

19 Taylor test kits were granted NSF certification and are listed under NSF/ANSI 50 Equipment for Swimming Pools, Spas, Hot Tubs, and Other Recreational Water Facilities.

NSF International has been monitoring the safety of pool and spa industry products since the 1960s. They evaluate everything from test kits to pool alarms to ensure they meet strict safety standards. They also review product labeling and literature for truth and accuracy. Every product labeled with the NSF certification has met the American National Standards for design, construction, and/or performance.

This certification is not a one-time check, NSF International conducts “annual audits at each authorized production facility and regular re-testing of certified products to confirm that they continue to comply with all requirements of certification.”[1]

This means that 19 of their test kits can be used in Commercial applications like HOA complexes, motels, hotels, apartment complexes, and other public pools inspected by your local health department. NSF certification is a big deal and you can rest assured the test results by an NSF certified Taylor test kit will hold up against the health department testing. 

The main difference is that the K-2006 kit features FASDPD drop tests, which measure free and combined chlorine directly as low as 0.2 ppm and as high as 20 ppm. The reading is made by noting a distinct change in the water sample from vibrant pink to colorless. The K-2005 will only read chlorine p to 10 ppm but is much easier to use in many cases over the FASDPD which uses a powder instead of a dye-based reagent. 

Here are some basic tips:
Makes sure your reagents are not expired. They do not last forever and you should replace them every season if you don't use them all up during the year. The refills are affordable and will ensure accurate test results.

Try to take the water sample from the middle of the pool about elbow deep. Make sure you fill the tubes to the exact mark and do the reagent drop test right away.

Make sure the tubes are clean especially if you service pools for a living, you don't want the last test results to interfere with your current one.

With the swirl, tests try to get a good wrist movement to mix the reagent up properly. If you struggle with this check out this helpful product that does the swirling for you:

Taylor SpeedStir 9265 Magnetic Stirrer: https://youtu.be/IRofeofrlCs

Keep the tubes at eye level and look directly at the color and not down into it. I prefer doing the reading outside in natural light. Remove your sunglasses for a more accurate color match.

If you follow these steps you will get a very accurate reading when you do your water testing. To learn more about the lineup of Taylor Technologies testing products you can visit their website here:

When NOT to Add Salt to Your Pool

Adding salt to your pool seems like an easy task but there are some things you need to know before you dump in a few 40 lbs bags. The first thing of course is does the pool needs salt added. It sounds simple enough but it needs answering first.




Chapter Marks:
00:00 What to Expect In this Video
00:57 Intro in Saltwater pools
2:00 Systems that read Salt Level
2:58 False Salt Reading
4:14 Digital Salinity Meter Test
8:12 Non-functioning unit
9:30 New builds
14:20 Non-salt pool


Here are some reasons why you should add salt:
Digital meter shows salt level under 3000 ppm
Water temperature is over 60 degrees F
The pool surface is over 60 days old (new build or remodel)
The saltwater cell is clean and functioning
You have a saltwater generator on your equipment

Here are some reasons when you should not add salt:
You do not have a saltwater generator attached to your pool equipment
The salt cell is dirty
The system is showing low salt – built-in salinity monitor
The pool plaster is fresh, under 2 months old
The water temperature is below 60 degrees

If you follow this basic rule you will have little issues with adding salt to a pool when it is not needed.

I have gotten a few emails over the years from folks who added salt to their pool to make it a saltwater pool, without having a saltwater generator installed. All this will do is just raise the pool’s TDS to 5000 ppm. This will make the pool hard to maintain so adding salt to a pool to make it a saltwater pool requires a saltwater generator. Pretty cut and dry and you can’t make a pool a saltwater pool by just adding salt.

If the salt cell is dirty the system can give you a false low salt indication. It is because the calcium on the plates reduces the electrical current and the system may think the salinity (salt level) is low, when in fact it is not. Cleaning the salt cell will reset the system in most cases and the proper salinity reading will appear on the display after a few hours or the next day.

Using a digital salinity meter is a must. Get a good one and the more you pay the better quality the meter will be. I have several videos on them and the  LaMotte, Hach, and Oakton models are the top 3 in my book. I trust the digital meter readings over the system reading and will never add salt without first getting my separate independent reading. 

I understand that the pool builder has a two-week close-out when the pool is finished. They are not really in a rush to add salt but since they are handing the pool off they want everything to be done. So many will add salt in the first 2 weeks of the fill. In my experience waiting 30-60 days is a better idea and will eliminate issues with plaster staining and very high uncontrollable pH. As the plaster cures, there is already a high acid demand and with the saltwater generator also raising the pH it will be hard to prevent scale from forming as the plaster cures. Not as bad as a problem in a PebbleTec, Vinyl, or Fiberglass pool but for plaster, I would wait at least 60 days before adding salt.

Some reasons why the salt cell may not be producing chlorine are that it is too small or not rated for that pool size or the CYA level is too low. It may not be a low salt level causing the issue. Also, low water temperature under 60 degrees F in most cases will cause the salt system to stop producing.

Each SWG has different salt cell sizes. For example, the Intellichor 40 and Hayward T-Cell 15 are rated for a pool of up to 40,000 gallons. The Ichlor 30 and Jandy TruClear are rated for pools up to 30,000. The Intellichlor IC20 for a pool up to 20,000-gallons. Your salt cell should be rated for your pool size to be effective. If you put an IC20 in a 25,000-gallon pool it will need to run 24/7 just to be partially effective. An IC40 in a 15,000-gallon pool would be ideal with plenty of margins.

Like any other form of chlorine, the SWG is producing chlorine that needs to be protected from the harsh UV rays of the sun. Ideally, your CYA level should be 30-50 ppm but if you notice the chlorine level is still not holding you can increase the CYA to 80 ppm. If the CYA is below 30 ppm chances are your SWG will be producing chlorine at a rate that is less than the burn off from the UV rays. Check to make sure the CYA is at alt least 30 ppm.

Jacuzzi J-D300 and Splash Seahawk Cleaner Repair

 The Jacuzzi J-D300 and the Splash Seahawk are essentially the same cleaners, just branded for different outlets. The J-D300 is sold exclusively at Leslie’s pool supply and you can find the Seahawk on other sites. The cleaner works surprisingly well and you can keep it running in your pool for several years with part changes here and there.




 There is a one-year warranty on the cleaner and I doubt if any of the parts will wear out or break in that first year of use. The diaphragm is not a warranty part and that will likely wear out in 1 year to 18 months. When that happens you would use the Zodiac Diaphragm listed here.

 Replacement Diaphragm:

Item No. 763276

Manufacturer SKU: WBAPC021 https://lesliespool.com/right-fit-replacement-diaphragm-for-baracuda-g3-g4-pool-cleaners/763276.html

 In my opinion, this is a good cleaner for $200 and it tends to go on sale during the season. As far as changing parts I think they made it over complicated. When I first opened it up the weight fell out and it took me a few minutes to figure out the right placement. The design would have been better it the weight was snapped into the body and not free-floating. The video will show you where the weight goes if it falls out on you as well.

 Again, I think the disassembly could be a bit easier but the parts are very modular which means you can rebuild this cleaner and keep it running in your pool for many years. The parts are also very reasonably priced so for your initial $200 investment and future repairs this cleaner is a very good investment.

The Mat or as others refer to it, the Finned Disk is a part that is easily replaced. Same with the footpad.
