I told my neighbor Charles that the Almaschool pickup location was no longer an option when I placed an online order. Charles took the time to pick it up for me (25mi further) and even dropped it off at my backyard. Thanks Charles I appreciate it very much!

FAQ
Our expert staff answers customer's most asked questions.
What is better for my pool and my body: Salt Chlorinator or Chlorine Chemicals?
Opting for a salt chlorinator is a superior choice for both your pool and skin. In addition to cost savings on chemicals, it requires minimal maintenance with a 5-7 year replacement cycle on salt cells. Most salt cells have an operating life of 10,000 hours. Proper maintenance will help extend the life cycle of salt cells. Refer to your owner's manual for cleaning instructions and tips on cleaning Pentair salt cells and products that help keep all salt cells cleaner. Explore our recommended models, Gentle Chlor and IC-40, by following this link.
Can upgrading my pool pump to a Variable Speed (VS) pump save on my electricity bill?
Yes, installing a Variable Speed (VS) pump is a wise decision that promises substantial long-term savings on your electric bill. All VS pumps adhere to Department of Energy (DOE) compliance standards and operate much quieter than single or dual-speed pumps. Experience up to 90% energy savings, and consider our suggested VS pump, the Pentair 013075 IntelliPro3 3 HP VS Pump. Learn more about this product by clicking here.
How many BTUs does my heater need to heat a pool or spa?
The ideal BTU rating for your heater depends on your desired heating speed. A 200 BTU or 250 BTU heater is suitable for a spa or pool, while a 400 BTU heater will heat your pool and spa more rapidly.
