Pool Surface Help, Products to Make Keeping Your Pool Surface Clean!

 Let’s face it, skimming a pool all day with a leaf rake is a waste of time and effort, especially if you can install devices that will do the job for you. Below is a list of some of these. Let me also say that there are a few logical things you can do to reduce a pool’s surface debris which includes running your pool for a proper length of time, running your Variable Speed Pump at a higher RPM, trimming the trees and bushes around the pool and making sure the skimmer weir door is intact and functioning. 




PoolSkim:
This is a very innovative and easy to use device that connects directly to your pool's 1 1/2” threaded return line. If your pool has stub pipe fittings you can purchase inserts for it, but it is designed to thread right into the spot where you remove the 1 1/2” eyeball fitting. The PoolSkim works great as it uses the pool return to create a secondary skimmer and traps all of the surface debris in the large attached bag.

SkimDoctor 2.0:
This is an affordable and very easy way to increase your pool skimmer's efficiency without doing anything except attaching the SkimDoctor 2.0 to your existing skimmer basket. Installation is very easy and once installed it creates a vortex and pulls in surface debris from further away and with much more velocity.

Betta 2.0:
Automatically remove various floating objects on the water surface, such as leaves, dust, pollen and dead insects, etc. 100% of energy power comes from solar energy. There is no cable connection, and a built-in battery provides power for use at night.

The underwater brush-less motor directly drives the thruster, eliminating the shortcomings of the low life of traditional reduction gears.

Unique wireless remote control function, which is convenient for you to easily switch between automatic and remote control. You can use the remote control to operate the robot to perform fast fixed-point clearing or use the remote control to control the robot to dock at any time and anywhere.

The large basket capacity and the unique upper handle solution are suitable for cleaning the basket without removing the machine from the water.

HIGH-GRADE SOLAR PANEL
Up to 21.5% conversion efficiency of the solar panel's surface is covered by a piece of wear-resistant ETFE material. This makes the solar panel more effective and durable, therefore having a longer life.


Leaf Bone: 
The Leaf Bone Leaf Net Skimmer Clip is a simple yet effective product for your in-ground pool with a ladder. One end clips onto your standard leaf rake and the other end clips onto your 1.9” diameter pool ladder. As the water passes by, the leaf net attached to the Leaf Bone catches leaves and debris.

For about $12.00 this is an affordable way to skim your pool surface in a passive way and cut down on the surface debris. For now, the leaf bone only fits an in-ground 1.9” pool ladder rail. An Above Ground pool model may be the next one released if there is enough demand for one.

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
