Structural Crack Repairs Salt Chlorinator for Spa & Swim Spas Pool & Spa Clarifier A Really Useful Tool Auto-Leveler


A variety of different conventional approaches have been attempted, but with little success. For example, epoxy injection although these types of sealants are largely insoluble in water, they cannot be forced deep into cracks.  When Torque Lock™ Staples are combined with epoxy, you can rest assure that the structure has been stabilized and fixed, permanently.  This revolutionary "concrete stitching" technique that is great for repairing structural cracks on any solid cement based surface. Using its patented Cam Lock™ technique, it stabilizes the crack by creating up to 5000 lbs of compression torque for each staple installed and keeps those 1/4" fractures from becoming 1/2" fractures.  Repair it rock solid.

Salt Chlorinator for
Spas and Swim Spas

Salt Chlorine Generator for Spas and Swim Spas.

The Model SM, MINI Spa Sanitation System produces a pure form of chlorine by electrolysis of salt (NaCl) in order to sanitize your spa water. After the salt is converted to chlorine and the bacteria are killed, the chlorine converts back to salt and this process is ongoing. The salt concentration used is very low.  Chlorine output can be adjusted by the timer on the power supply unit.  The chlorine level in your spa can be checked by using a standard chlorine test kit.  One MINI unit can treat up to 600 gallons (2,200L) of spa water (or up to 2000 gallons Swim Spa water).  Includes the salt-cell and controller unit.  The better way to do chlorine!

NanoStick Clarifiers

A Must-Have Gadget.

Removes the skimmer cover, while standing up.  Save your back for the important stuff.  No more reaching in the unknown.  Who knows what surprises lurk inside the dirty skimmer baskets?  Bugs, snakes or critters.  Take water samples, without having to reach into the water.  The Poole Pole is marked to show the recommended 18-inch sampling depth and includes a 4-ounce sampling bottle.  Use it to hook your wayward vacuum or pool cleaner hose.  Spare yourself the bother of chasing after a loose end.   Clip test strips on to the end of the Poole Pole and never get wet.  The Poole Pole can help make maintenance easier!

Maintains Pre-Set Water Level

Pools may lose water for any number of reasons: evaporation due to the Sun and wind, backwashing the filter, splashout and even a minor pool leak.  If the water level drops below the skimmer and causes the pump to run dry, serious damage to the pump motor can occur.  Pool owners must constantly check water levels, turn on the hose to fill the pool and then worry about turning it off before overfilling.  The Pool-Leveler requires no installation. Go away on a vacation and know that the pool will be full and that the pump will not run dry.  Just attach the Pool-Leveler to a good grade garden hose, place the unit at poolside and turn on the water!

Automatic pH Controller
for
Pools up to 60,000 gallons


Automatic pH Contoller, for pools up to 60,000 gallons.

Lowering the pH involves adding muriatic acid or sodium bisulfate.  Otherwise, if the pH gets above 7.8, chlorine becomes less effective and cloudy water and calcium scaling can be the result.  The use of any salt chlorine generator will produce a strongly alkaline chemical (very high pH), as a by product of the chlorine production.  The more chlorine you produce, the more acid will have to be added or else the pH will rise to unacceptable levels.  The pH Controller maintains an optimum pH, allowing chlorine to better perform its sanitizing role.  High pH is a leading contributor to cloudy water problems!
