BWT PK Turbo Large Capacity Rechargeable Leaf Vacuum

 Battery Powered Leaf Vacs have come a long way over the years and the PK Turbo is the latest generation of portable leaf vacs designed for the pool owner. For pools with a lot of leaf debris, the only options on the consumer level were devices like a leaf bagger or leaf master which are powered by water from a garden hose. The PK Turbo gives you a great option for a Havy-Duty large-volume rechargeable pool vacuum. 




It has an amazing 20-inch cleaning path much like a large manual vacuum head. The swivel handle makes turning and maneuvering the PK Turbo a breeze. This is important because if you have ever used a Leaf Master (Leaf Bagger) type device the garden hose as well as the design of the body of the leaf vac hinders your cleaning ability and speed, Not so with the PK Turbo. You can easily whip around a pool and vacuum up leaf debris with ease.

The power rating is 600 and to translate that into simple terms, the PK Turbo is powerful and you will have no issues picking up piles of leaf debris. The power of the garden hose-type leaf vacuums is dependent on the home's water pressure. Not so with the PK Turbo. The Lithium-ion battery provides plenty of power for the motor. It also comes with an impressive 75-minute continuous run-time between charges. 

There is a nice included storage bag and the wings on the PK Turbo need to be removed before storage (it won’t fit in the bag otherwise). You can also use the PK Turbo without the wings in tight spots like an above-ground hot tub. This is a very versatile vacuum for sure. 

It comes with two debris bags which are decent in size. One is a standard 250-micron bag and the other is a 75-micron bag. It also comes with a cartridge filter bag which is rated for 50 microns. I think the cartridge filter bag still needs some refining but the two other bags will be perfect for all of your cleaning needs. They are durable and pick up a good amount of leaves and dirt (75-micron bag).

One thing to note that is not highlighted in the manual is that the PK Turbo will only turn on when it is completely submerged in water. So you will need to turn the unit on and then drop it into the pool or spa. Within 3 seconds the motor and propeller will engage. Just in case you think your unit is defective as it has a water sensor and only again will activate while in water.

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
