Western Pool & Spa Show 2023 Highlights

The 45th Annual Western Pool & Spa Show featured some familiar vendors and some new ones as well. The big three also showcased new products and I cover some of those in this video tour for you.



FullFloXF C620:
Pentair has a new 620 sq ft cartridge filter and I am excited to say that the drain plug is no longer under the inlet and outlet of the pump! It has two drain plugs which are overkill but I won’t complain too much about that. 

SpeedSet:
Jandy has a new SpeedSet controller for their stand-alone VS pumps that is a direct replacement for the JEP-R controller that no one liked. It took them forever to come out with a replacement but the SpeedSet seems to be easy to use and set up. Unlike the JEP-R. It is also backward compatible with all Jandy VS pumps that were using the JEP-R. A real win for pool owners and pool service pros. 

TracVac:
Hayward has a new suction cleaner and it looks like a good cross between the Aquanaut and a tank. It looks like the same internal parts and gearing with a new fixed turbine and in beta testing the TracVac did not get hung up on the Anti-Vortex main drains and it climbed the walls to the waterline. 

There were a lot of familiar products at the show, many that I have reviewed. To watch a video on one of those products you can find them with these links below.

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
