Hayward Filter Pump

The Hayward Super Pump offers the best of all worlds in a pump.  It is one of the quietest pumps in the industry, provides plenty of power for any size pool, and is easily maintained.  The clear plastic trap lid makes it easy to see if the basket needs to be cleaned, and the design allows for easy unclogging of the impeller should any debris (needles are the worst) make it through.

Raypak Heater
The Raypak RP Digital Propane or Natural Gas Heater provides adequate heating for all sizes of inground pools and spas. The digital display allows you to set an exact temperature for the water, as opposed to a random knob setting. Also, the display will self-diagnose any problems within the heater, giving us a head's up as to what is wrong or allowing you to diagnose and repair the problem yourself, without the need for a service call. The Raypak name also makes this a reliable choice for heating your pool.
Aquamatic Cover

Protect your children, lower your heating costs, and minimize your maintenance necessities with the Aquamatic Hydramatic Autocover.  With the simple turn of a key, you can attractively cover your pool, keeping leaves and children out, while insulating the water beneath.  The problem-free Hydramatic design as well as the industry-best 20-year limited warranty makes this an excellent long-term investment for your pool.  Choose from eleven different fabric colors.


Remote Controls

Control every aspect of your swimming pool from the comfort of your home or anywhere in your backyard with the Jandy Aqualink One-Touch and Wireless remote systems.  Adjust your filter and automatic cleaner's operation times; turn on your spa and adjust the pool temperature; or turn on pool and patio lights, plus more, all from one simple remote.  Installations can be done on all existing pools, so why continue walking over to your equipment?  


Polaris Cleaner

When searching for an automatic pool cleaner, there is no better name out there than Polaris.  The Polaris 380 is the best pressure-side cleaner available as far as quality, durability and ease in maintenance.  Combined with the PB4 booster pump and a time clock, you can have the Polaris keep your pool debris-free throughout the Summer.  For those not equipped for a pressure-side cleaner, the Polaris 340 suction side cleaner can be attached to any skimmer or vacuum port.


Caribbean Clear Water Treatment
NASA-based technology was used in creating the Caribbean Clear Water Treatment System as an alternative to Chlorine in swimming pools.  The Caribbean Clear introduces Copper and Silver ions into the water to kill algae and bacteria.  Copper is known as the best algaecide, keeping pools algae-free even during the hottest of months.  The system is completely automated, running when the filter pump is operating and controlled by a simple turn of a knob.  The advantages of the system are softer, more enjoyable water; lower chemical costs, as chlorine sticks and algaecide are no longer needed; and easier maintenance of the pool.  Pooltek is the exclusive distributor of the Caribbean Clear System, so please call if you have further questions. 
Salt-Chlorine Generators
Chlorine generators are a rapidly growing alternative to standard chlorination for your swimming pool.  Originally made popular in Australia, over 40% of the new in-ground pools built in the US now use this technology.  With chlorine generators, such as the Goldline Aqua Rite, standard table salt (Sodium Chloride) is converted into free chlorine to sanitize your pool water.  During the sanitation process, the chlorine kills bacteria and then reverts back to Sodium Chloride, thus restarting the whole cycle, eliminating your need for chlorine sticks, and considerably lowering your chemical costs.  In addition, the chlorine level is maintained automatically so you never need to worry about returning to a green pool after an extended vacation. 
Loop-Loc Winter Cover

With a Loop-Loc mesh safety cover, you won't have to worry about your pool all Winter.  The mesh material allows water to pass through to the pool beneath, so you no longer need to fuss with cover pumps and raking the muck from the top of a cover.  The spring tight design of the cover makes it safe for children and pets to walk over...so safe, even an elephant can walk on it.  Loop-Loc is an industry leader and a name you can count on.
