Two pool products that need to be mentioned in the same sentence are the Jandy e-Pump and Jandy Aqualink. Individually they are excellent units for people serious about their pool and other water features. Together they link up harmoniously managing the swimming pools needs efficiently, quietly and cost effectively. The Jandy e-Pump is one of the very best pumps on the market and when it comes to controlling the water flow and all other aspects of electric pool function then the Jandy Aqualink is an absolute must. The e-Pump and the Aqualink work in tandem with one another and will help keep the pool in perfect condition.
Zodiac Jandy ePumpThe Jandy e-Pump’s state of the art design allows it to pump water using its eight variable speeds to customise water flow. It has plenty of power available but when plenty isn’t needed, energy does not have to be wasted because the power can be easily reduced by decreasing the e-Pumps speed. Money can be saved on electricity using the Jandy e-Pump and its multiple speeds. The e-Pump is user friendly with features such as the largest trap basket available, giving you more time enjoying the pool then tending to it.
Zodiac Jandy ePumpThe best way to control the e-Pump is by using the Jandy aqualink; and you even get the choice of a portable, hand-held control or an inside, mounted control. Just think, it is possible to control the e-Pump, and all other electric aspects of the pool from inside the house with the Aqualink RS One Touch. It is the perfect indoor control panel and can control – would you believe – up to 32 pool functions. The hand-held Aqualink RS PDA can control up to eight different functions and it is water proof and floats. So you can be lazing, playing or swimming and not have to leave the pool to turn something on or off. Why not just control it while still in the pool.
For superior pool products Jandy have the range covered. Both the e-Pump and aqualink are ergonomic and practical in design and will last and last; the aqualink controlling the e-Pump for maximum efficiency and giving the pool an irresistible sparkle for maximum pleasure.

FloPro ePumpDelivering superior pool products time and time again, Zodiac have done it again with the Jandy FloPro ePump. State of the art in design and technology, the Zodiac FloPro ePump will help keep the pool clean and sparkling like no other pump on the market and at the same time will save you money on operating costs. The pool needs a pump for maintenance and the general health and safety of the pool and its users, so when purchasing an FloPro ePump you can be assured that you have bought the best. After all, it FloPro ePump does has a long life, variable speed motor built specifically to handle any water feature using less energy than its competitors.
The Jandy FloPro ePump comes packed with user friendly features such as:

  • easy to read indicators,
  • ergonomic handles
  • and it has the largest trap basket of all pool pumps and will therefore save you plenty of time in maintenance.

But these are just some of the more basic features that the Zodiac Jandy FloPro ePump offers to its user.
More importantly the Jandy FloPro ePump produces great power and comes in 1.5 and 2.0 H/P models. But not only is the FloPro ePump powerful for all domestic pool pumping needs, it is also highly efficient with its revolutionary eight variable speeds which customises water flow to all water features, and will use up to 70% less energy than the more common single speed pumps. Using the Jandy FloPro ePump could easily save you well over $1000 per year which are huge savings in anyone’s language.
These variable speeds and highly efficient motor helps lend to the FloPro ePump’s credence in ‘stealth’ operation. Don’t be annoyed every time the pool pump is running because it is too noisy, with the FloPro ePump and its highly efficient motor quieter operation is assured and also this advance motor that is fan cooled will not run as hot as others and will last much longer, all the while being able to pump water at a RPM range of 600-3450.
The Jandy FloPro ePump is totally programmable and can be customised with different control system options. The FloPro ePump will work with the Aqualink RS control systems and the optional FloPro ePump Controller.
So for a pump that operates with different speeds, for a pump that will save you money, for a pump that will run quietly and outlast most others, for a pump that will respond to different control systems and a pump made with advanced technology then the Jandy FloPro ePump is clearly the right choice!

Solar CoverTo own a pool is fantastic.  To have that pool gas heated by Raypac is better than fantastic.  Just think, the pool can then be used all year round, day and night, with controlled heat on demand.  And of course, with a spa or swim spa, you want the water to be heated, and the most effective way is by using a Raypac gas heater.  With Raypac heading the field in gas heating, the pool will never be so welcoming – even during the middle of winter!
The Raypac Residential Gas Heater model range (200mj430mj) is ideal when it comes to temperature controlled heating of the pool and spa.  Designed and manufactured in Australia, the Residential gas heating range can accommodate any size of domestic pool and spa and can be configured to use either propane or natural gas.
It is built from strong, corrosive resistant materials to last and last under any conditions.  The ‘cupronickel’ heat exchangers, polymer headers and ‘Zam’ metal casing gives the Raypac its credibility for its durability and long life.
The Raypac Residential heater is easy to use and can be installed either indoors or outdoors and is easy to operate.  There is even the option available to have a remote control so the heater can be operated from a position of comfort if you so desire.  Importantly, the Raypac Residential comes with digital heater controls that are programmable and there are separate settings for both the pool and spa, maximizing one’s enjoyment of both water areas.
So don’t leave the pool dormant and unused for months on end, waiting for the weather to become hot, to then jump in the pool and still find the water to cold for your liking.  With a Raypac Residential Heater the temperature of the pool and spa are easily controlled by the touch of your fingertips.
For excellence in spa gas heating you need look no further than the Raypac Spartan  131 gas heater.  This brilliantly Australian made unit is made from aluminium, giving the unit all over protection from corrosion and it will operate with propane or natural gas and is configured for outdoor installation.  Again, the Raypac Spartan is easy to use with digital heat controls makeing it so easy to adjust the temperature ideal for the different times of year.  Obviously you will want to turn up the heat come the harshness of an unforgiving winter, and take it down somewhat during the warmer times of year.  The Raypac Spartan 131 also has a remote control added option, to make enjoying the spa that much easier.
To enjoy the pool all year round and to have the spa at your desired temperature then pool and spa gas heating is the right choice.  And the right choice of gas heater is a Raypac gas heater.

Solar CoverFor pool protection and greater efficiency the pool cover is an essential element for proper pool maintenance. A pool cover will not only keep any debris out, it will also help conserve the water and chemicals in it, and can also be a cost effective option for pool heating. Including Above Ground Covers, Maxi Solar Covers and Winter Mesh Pool Covers, be assured that there are plenty of options for choice of pool cover. If the pool is above ground or in ground, large or small, it should have a cover and the right pool cover can be easily found.

For basic above ground pools, there are plenty of cover choices such as round and oval Polytarp Pool Covers, Above Ground Shade Cloth Mesh Covers and Keyhole Above Ground Shade Cloth Mesh Covers. All types will keep the pool free of leaves and help conserve water. They are simple and effective covers that are light weight and easy to set up for long winter periods where the pool isn’t used and easy to lift off once the warmer weather returns. It doesn’t matter what size the above ground pool is, all covers come in different sizes, so as long as you know the dimensions of the pool, you are covered!

If you are serious about your pool and like the water at the nicest of temperatures then the Maxi Solar Blanket is perfect. The Maxi Solar Pool Blanket is designed to use the natural energy of the sun to lift the water’s temperature and to then hold in that heat. Coming in either 400 or 500 micron types, the Maxi Solar Blanket is a very efficient at keeping water evaporation to a minimum and the chemicals in the water will work for longer periods. Using a Maxi Solar Blanket means you save in other areas as well: less electricity because of a decreased running time for a solar heating pump, less time cleaning and having to use the automatic pool cleaner a great advantages.

Specifically designed for heated pools in the cold seasons, the Winter Thermal Pool Cover is ideal and first rate for covering the pool during these long periods. Made of high insulating foam, this particular pool cover floats on the pool surface protecting thWinter Thermal Pool CoverWinter Thermal Pool Cover will last and last, saving costs on heating and maintenance.

Other pool covers to be looked at when selecting the right one for your pool are Winter Reinforced Vinyl Covers which are strong, long lasting and easy to install with user friendly lockdowns and great for keeping the pool clean for long periods when not in use. Also, the Winter Mesh Inground Pool Cover is another fantastic option where it will keep out the debris and junk but allow rainwater through.

Make life even easier for yourself and consider a pool roller system. The Maxi Solar Roller, for example, is easy to operate and makes gathering the cover a breeze, as does the 5 Star Roller with wheels.

There are always going to be times throughout the year where the swimming pool will be unused, particularly in winter. And with the need to be careful with water in this day and age then it makes complete sense to keep the pool covered in times when the pool area is dormant. Pool covers are a must have item if you are serious about pool care and maintenance, and will save water, the chemicals in the water and will prevent any foliage and debris from finking its way into the pool. Get covered!
