Jacuzzi JVS Variable Speed Pump Line-Up: Overview of All 3 Models

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVyfseY6O0c Jacuzzi has a new line-up of Variable speed pumps and they are now available at your local Leslie’s Pool Supply. These VS pumps have been designed with the new Department of Energy (DOE) regulations in mind and all of them meet the new standards. They also feature a lot of other upgrades and there are currently 3 models to choose from. There are the new Jacuzzi JVS Series pumps: JVS270 is a 2.7 THP VS pump with a DOE rating of 12.9 WEF JVS185 is a 1.85 THP VS pump with a DOE rating of 10.1 WEF JVS165 is a 1.65 THP VS pump with a DOE rating of 10.7 WEF All of these pumps are dual voltage which means they will work with either 115 volts or 230 volts. So if you have an older pool that is wired on a 110 v breaker, you can use any of these three pumps as the voltage is automatically modulated. I would suggest the JVS165 or the JVS185 to utilize the total hp rating of these pumps. The JVS270 will be throttled down to about 1.5 hp when connect

PoolRx Guide For Your Pool Service Accounts: Installation, Sizing and Cautions

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eV_aHSDoJwY PoolRx is an effective way to enhance the chlorine in your customer’s pools but there are some things you need to know before you drop one in the skimmer or pump basket. It is of course not a magic bullet so using it in a pool that is more balanced will get the best results. PoolRx is a Mineral Technology that does two very simple things when used in your pool or spa; it eliminates all algae and will allow you to use less chlorine during the pool season. The active ingredient is Copper Sulphate Pentahydrate (chelated). What Chelated means is that the metals in the PoolRx have been bonded to form two coordinated bonds similar to what Metal Sequestering Agents do.

Make sure that you choose the right size PoolRX unit so that the treatment will b
