Chlorine Genie
Chlorine Genie is one of the new pool products that has been getting a lot of attention in 2022. Picture yourself swimming in water that has been treated to be soft, descaled, pH-balanced, and sanitized without the use of any potentially harmful chemicals, toxic additives, corrosive salt water, or dangerous irritants.
Get the Ultimate Water for your pool with the help of the Chlorine Genie. The Chlorine Genie is an independent appliance that interacts with your existing pump, filter, and heater. It’s one of the four must-have items for any swimming pool.
The electrolytic cell in the patented Chlorine Genie is immersed in salty brine softened water, which produces the chlorine your pool requires. A reverse osmosis and water descaling system are integrated into the unit to soften the water. The electrolytic cell separates the ions in salt and water to produce chlorine, sodium, hydrogen, and oxygen. Pure chlorine is produced from the chloride ions, which is then diluted with water and pumped into the pool. To adjust the pool’s pH, sodium combines with the hydrogen and oxygen in the water.

Clearwater pH PURE PH-50
Pool balancing has never been easier than with the PH-50. We all know that maintaining proper pH and alkalinity is as difficult as balancing on a tightrope, but not any longer!
When you add acid or pH Minus to water, CO2 is produced. Injecting CO2 with the PH-50 lowers the pH while maintaining alkalinity. Keeping the pH balanced drastically reduces the amount of chemicals used.
The PH-50 comes standard with a single-cylinder regulator assembly. By selecting Double or Triple Regulator from the drop down box, you can increase your CO2 storage capacity by using larger cylinders or more cylinders.

The slat design eliminates the rope/track/leading edge bar interface found in traditional automatic pool covers, allowing automation to be provided on pools that could not previously accept an automatic pool cover.

Jandy TruDose
The Jandy® TruDose chemical controller will keep your pool water balanced even between service visits. TruDose uses advanced pH and ORP sensing technologies to constantly monitor levels as water flows through the pool’s plumbing, ensuring a clean, safe, and more comfortable swimming pool experience.
TruDose is simple to program and install, with a large LED readout that comes pre-mounted and plugs into a standard GFCI outlet.
TruDose includes an integrated flow switch to ensure that chemicals are only dosed when water is flowing through the system. TruDose stops dosing but continues to monitor pH and ORP levels once they reach their setpoints.
Between service visits, the water chemistry is kept balanced. TruDose detects pH and ORP readings as water flows through the pool’s plumbing and delivers a dose of acid to lower pH and activates the salt chlorinator to generate chlorine as needed to maintain consistent levels for perfectly balanced pool water.
There’s no need to change the chlorine output on your Jandy AquaPure® salt chlorinator because TruDose tells your chlorinator when it needs to produce chlorine and when there’s enough in the pool.

When the temperature of your pool needs to be raised, the VersaTemp can do so in a way that is both environmentally friendly and efficient.
Also, it can be used to remove heat from a pool on extremely hot days. In addition, it has two thermostats, so you can maintain the ideal temperature in both your pool and spa. The LCD control panel on the VersaTemp regulator makes it simple to adjust the temperature, and the iAquaLink® app can be used with any AquaLink pool automation system to make maintaining the pool’s temperature a breeze, no matter where you are.
Do you dislike loud noises? Heat your pool or spa while making much less noise. SoundShieldTM Technology is a specially designed acoustic blanket with a decibel dampening acoustic blanket to help muffle compressor reverberation
