Water Tech Leaf Vac Recharge!

 The Water Tech Volt Leaf Vac Recharge is something that a lot of pool owners have been waiting for. This is a Leaf Vac that now features a built-in Lithium Ion battery and it can be easily recharged by plugging it in. In a nutshell, this is a cordless, rechargeable leaf vac and now you can vacuum out leaves without using a garden hose or worrying about using an endless supply of AA batteries.




Who is this designed for? The pool owner with a pool with a lot of leaf debris and the pool pro looking for an effective way to vacuum up leaves from a pool. You can also lock the handle and use the Leaf Vac to skim leaves off of the surface and it is surprisingly effective. This is primarily designed to replace the standard leaf vac that uses a garden hose connected to a water source to “power it.” 

Here is more about the Volt Recharge:
Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery
Automatic On/Off Water Sensor
Up to 3 Hour Run Time
(2) reusable all-purpose filter bag
Flip Leaf Vac upside down to skim the pool surface
SKU# 11A0060LS

The updated features that make this Water Tech Leaf Vac different from their other models is the internal Lithium Ion battery vs a battery chamber that would hold 8-AA batteries. This means the unit will remain sealed and water will not be able to get into the unit due to user error. 

The on/off switch has also been removed and the Volt Recharge has a sensor on top of the motor that will turn on the machine once it is in the water. It will turn off when it is out of the water. I believe this feature will make this unit longer lasting as the on/off electronic component is now removed. 

The 3-hour run time matches their battery-operated units and this is a pretty amazing run time for a portable vacuum. If you are a service pro that means you can use it all day on your route and as a homeowner you will not be charging it very often which will give this product a very long lifespan. It comes with a 2-year limited warranty with the first year being a full warranty.

Can I Use Clorox Bleach in my Pool?

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
