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.

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.

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
