The ingredients are usually displayed on the side of and if you are curious about the exact makeup and possible hazards you can always Google the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet). The MSDS will let you know the safety issues presented by the chemical and list the ingredients. Once in a while, you will see an ingredient marked as a “Trade Secret” or as a “Proprietary blend" and then things can become a head-scratcher. Take Clorox Xtra Blue 3” Tablets for example. Here is the chemical make up according to the MSDS: Hazardous components Component / CAS-No. Weight percent Trichloro-s-triazinetrione 87-90-1: 94.05 % Trade secret 002: 3 - 8 % Boron salt less than 2 % From the name Clorox Blue you kinda get the idea that the little blue specs in the tablets are the 3-8% “Trade Secret” ingredient. If you do a little research you will find that the litt

I suggest getting at least 3 bids so you know that you are being quoted correctly. We decided to go with a local family-owned company, All Season Turf. Since having our turf installed 6 of our neighbors have also had All Season Turf install Turf at their houses. https://www.myallseasonturf.com/ We chose Tiger Turf which is made here in the USA and comes with a 15-year warranty (100% lead-free). Here is more of why you should think about installing Artificial Turf (courtesy of All Season Turf): Artificial grass offers many advantages over a traditional lawn Artificial grass offers an excellent landscaping option for just about any residential or commercial property, because: It Always Looks Beautiful: Artificial grass stays lush and green under all weather conditions.

The Department of Energy has mandated new energy rules and almost all of the single-speed pumps will no longer be sold. That leaves only Variable Speed Pumps as an option going forward after July 19th. Below are some of the pumps I recommend. The first option would be to replace the motor with a Century V-Green stand-alone VS motor. They are compatible with most pumps and come with a round or square flange. It is the most affordable option and if the existing pump is less than 5 years old I would suggest going that route. But if you need to replace the entire pump here are some brands to look at. Note that I always suggest going with the brand of your automated system if you have one. So if you have a Hayward Automated system go with a Hayward pump. Pentair was the first with their IntelliFlo VS pump and it is still the benchmark pump because there a

But if you find that it is moving very slowly in your there could be a few things wrong with it, including a bad Timer Valve. It is an easy part to replace and they sell a complete kit – the Hayward TriVac 500 Timer Valve Kit #TVX7500TV For $135.00. Check System First: Because of the nature of how a pressure side cleaner works, check to make sure both the system pump (main pool pump) and the booster pump (cleaner pump) are set to come on at the same time. The main pump if it is a VS pump should be running at a higher speed, around 2200 RPM or greater is acceptable. If the system pump and booster pump are not set to turn on at the same time the TriVac 500 will not move. Check the Quick Disconnect: Make sure the TriVac 500 has enough water going to it. Sometimes the pressure relief valve is open or cracked. Typically, it should be close
