Hayward TracVac Suction Side Cleaner

The Hayward TracVac is Haywards first new suction side cleaner in several years. I think it is their first new suction side cleaner in decades if you are not counting the fact they purchased the rights to the Hayward Aquanaut and it did not technically come in-house. 




The TracVac is a combination of the Hayward Aquanaut with of course some new patented technology. You will find the gearing and cam similar to the Aquanaut but then things diverge considerably. The tank tracks, turbine, and overall body of the cleaner are all original. 

In testing what I like about this cleaner is how well it scales the walls and main drains in a pool. Set at just 2600 RPM with the side port open to 75% the TracVac has no trouble climbing to the waterline. It is also amazingly balanced so it will scale the walls at different angles and with the hose float set at 20” it rights itself whenever it falls off the wall at an awkward angle. 

If the gearing is anything like that of the Hayward Aquanaut this cleaner should last for years to come. The tracks also look very robust and the feel of this cleaner is very solid. It has an easy-to-open buckle in front so if anything gets jammed in the cleaner you can easily remove it. The turbine itself has large gaps between the vanes which should allow large debris to pass through easily. 

It comes with 12-1 meter hoses so this is ideal for a small, medium, and large pool. 

INGROUND POOL CLEANER: TracVac suction pool cleaner is suitable for inground pools with various finishes, including concrete (gunite), fiberglass, vinyl, and tile.

EASE OF USE:  Easy to assemble and lightweight design features a comfortable handle that makes this pool cleaner suitable for any owner.

POWERFUL PERFORMANCE:  Designed with rugged tracks to effortlessly maneuver over drains, ensuring comprehensive coverage from the floor to the wall and accessing hard-to-reach areas.

POOL SIZE: Guarantees a thorough cleaning experience for pools up to 20 x 40 ft.

INCLUDES: Hayward TracVac Automatic Suction Pool Cleaner, adjustable hose, and essential accessories such as a hose float, regulator valve, hose cone adapter, flow gauge, hose clip, and regulator valve cap.

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
