Your swimming pool equipment is broken and it’s time to hit the world wide web in search of a solution. A quick search will yield tons of results; pool companies are a dime a dozen. How do you decide who to bring into your backyard? Keep in mind this person will be working with electricity, gas, water, or all of the above.

As certified pool industry professionals, we have put together what we believe to be the top 5 things that consumers should be looking for when hiring a professional pool repair company.

As summer comes to an end, heater season is fast approaching, have you tested your heater lately?

Let’s play out a common scenario that we see every year. The party is tomorrow but it’s gonna be a little cooler. Just fire up the pool heater early in the morning to heat the pool right? Not always. Too often we get that urgent call about a pool heater.

Cleaning your filter is necessary for the proper care of your swimming pool & spa. This service should be performed at least two times a year, sometimes more depending on your geographical location and overall maintenance. Check out this week’s video from The Pool Boys for a quick walk through on cleaning and replacing your filter cartridges. The screenshots below also give you quite a bit of information on how to get the task done without any issues.

The Pool Boys are offering a full set of DE Filter Grids at a 10% savings. That’s right, when you purchase a full set of 7 Full and 1 Partial DE Filter Grids, we’ll take 10% off the price at the register.

DE Filter Grids are universal for almost all models of filters. There are a few exceptions on really old models, but these are few and far between. From Hayward ProGrid to Jandy DEV and Pentair FNS Plus, they all pretty much interchange. What makes the biggest difference is the size of the filter, measured in Square Feet (sq. ft.).

It is awesome to watch the pool industry finally start to make big advances in the technology world.

Pentair’s new Intellivalve Actuator now makes it possible for pool owners and pool professionals to adjust the actuators without having to disassemble the unit and mechanically adjust the valve cams; saving frustration and time.

One word – amazing. Easy Care’s Algatec is one of the easiest to use algaecides that we have ever used. It works fast and it works well.
