NEW EQUIPMENT
The Pool Doctor
carries all major brands of pool equipment such as AquaCal, AutoPilot,
Hayward, Pentair, StarRite, Jandy, Goldline, RayPak, Zodiac, FeherGuard
and the Pool Cleaner. We are a warranty station for all the
manufacturers listed above.
Here are some great ways to enjoy your pool more and/or save money:
Heat your pool!
We
recommend heat pumps because of their high efficiency. They look like
an air conditioner, and actually take the heat out of the air and put it
in the pool. Heat pumps work when solar won’t, and don’t require panels
on your roof. Avoid propane heaters due to their very high operating
costs.
Save money when buying a heat pump by considering the following:
- Get the right size for your pool (or spa).
- Get an efficient unit. Refer to ARI efficiency testing figures.
- Consider the composition of the heat exchangers. Some units have
inferior heat exchangers that will fail and cost many hundreds of
dollars to repair.
- Because the warranty term can be as long as 10 years, the right warranty
can end up saving hundreds of dollars.
- Buy from a reputable manufacturer so they will be around to honor the
warranty.
Convert to salt!
Salt chlorine generators make chlorine from salt. They allow a lower
level of chlorine in your pool, and result in water with a soothing,
smooth and silky feel that doesn’t dry your skin out. Salt systems are
catching on rapidly; most new pools are now built with them. We can
update your pool to take advantage of this great new technology.
Why not automate?
Control
your pool and/or spa with a remote control inside your house instead of
going outside and messing with a bunch of valves, breakers, knobs and
switches. You can turn on your pool, spa, lights, blower and adjust the
temperature. Other functions such as fountains and walkway lighting can
be automated as well.
Put a rainbow in
your pool!
The new L.E.D. (light emitting diode) pool lights create an after-dark
wonderland in your backyard. Bath your pool in an ever changing roll
through the spectrum, or stop it on the color that matches your mood.
The effect is dramatic. Create an aquatic paradise!
Blanket your pool.
Pool blankets are made of a heavy duty blue “bubble wrap” material, and
are a real money saver. They heat the pool by capturing sunlight via
“the green house effect”. They keep the heat in the pool during cool
winter nights. Blankets reduce evaporation, lowering your water bill.
A blanketed pool costs about 60% less to heat than an uncovered pool.
Measure your pool before calling our office. Blankets must be
cut to fit the pool, and are much easier to handle if they are installed
on a roller system.
Stop cleaning your
pool!
Let an automatic pool cleaner do it! We have all the major brands for
sale in our retail store.
