Have You Ever Tasted A Steak Cooked On A Ceramic Grill?

    Swim Clear is proud to bring you our newest addition to our inventory Introducing the Grill Dome Ceramic Cooker.

This brand-new model is constructed with the same legendary methods and materials as the time-tested Grill Dome Large model and is also available in 5 eye-catching colors! The only difference is the XL give you a larger surface area so cooking for a big group is no problem. This is one well-made ceramic grill. It grills, it smokes, it roasts, and does it all while using very little charcoal. The Grill Dome features the thickest ceramic walls of any ceramic grill on the market and uses TERPEX ceramic to seal in both heat and moisture for extra-juicy food. The Grill Dome is the only ceramic grill featuring 304 stainless steel hardware for corrosion resistance. Even the exclusive auto hinge is made from stainless! The competition uses thinner ceramic walls along with painted or coated regular steel hardware. Don't forget to customize your Grill Dome with one of many available accessories including a Grill Cover, a Cart on Wheels, and more.   Now availabe at SWIM CLEAR POOL SUPPLY.COM

Time + Electricity = Money (SAVINGS)

If you have not already done so, now is definitely the time to change your time clocks to run at night (we recommend Midnight to 6 AM.)  This will ensure that when it freezes at night, your pump is NOT running night and day wasting electricity (and Shopping Money!).  This also ensures in the event the freeze guard fails and does not kick on, you have some protection. No frozen pipes or busted equipment this winter means savings in spring. For all you chlorine tablet users, this will reduce chemical usage.

It screws onto the acid bottles eliminating the dangers of spilling chemicals on you, pool decks, or any other pool related items.
The other item is the Polaris TailSweep Pro, which is designed to prevent your pressure-side pool cleaner from spraying water out of the pool and splashing windows, landscaping, and even onto you.  This item fits onto the end of your pool cleaners existing sweep tail diverting much of the water away to still allow the sweep tail to work properly, but also not allowing it to spray out of the pool.

Extend Your Swimming Season.

A swimming pool is an expensive investment, so why not get the most use out of it that you can. how about a relatively inexpensive option that can also save you money. Try a Solar Cover from Swim Clear Pool Supply.

Solar Pool Covers heat by day and insulate at night. If left on when the swimming pool is not in use during the day, the solar pool covers allow the sun's rays to pass through the bubbles to heat the pool water during the day. Leave the solar pool cover on at night and the bubbles act as an insulator minimizing heat loss. Our heavy mil solar pool covers use the sun's energy to give your heater time off and help slash fuel bills. They will raise your existing water temperature by 10 to 15 degrees while reducing evaporation of water and chemical consumption. Easily trim all of our solar pool covers with scissors to fit any pool.

Fall Approaches (Part 1)

Summer, believe it or not is almost here, which means one thing. Get ready for Fall and leaves. The next few posts will give you some great ideas to save you time and head ache this fall season.

In Texas, with the drought that has been going on, leaves are already falling. You might want to use that pool a few more times prior to covering but your skimmers and pump baskets are filling up. Replace those baskets with an Extra Heavy Duty Basket. The normal baskets you buy from the retail outlets are generic cheap baskets that the first time they over load they split sending a potential clog right through the pipes. These extra heavy duty baskets from valpak are designed to keep the leaves where they are caught. Check them out at Swim Clear Pool Supply.com

It's only July and my pool is as hot as a bath tub!

Hot dry weather turning that cool oasis in your back yard into an unconfortable out door bath tub? Swim Clear Pool Supply has the affordable answer.

The Glacier Pool Coolers are the perfect answer to uncomfortably warm swimming pools. Our swimming pool chiller is designed to solve the problem of hot pool water. The Glacier Pool Cooler is a solution that is affordable, easy to install, and inexpensive to operate. Our coolers are electric fan cooling systems that require no Freon or gas to operate.

Residential pools come in all shapes, sizes, and finishes. Glacier Pool Coolers has created a unit to fit your pool’s needs.

The ICE CUBE (GPC-23) is designed for small play pools less than 10,000 gallons.

The ICE BLOCK (GPC-25) will efficiently cool a pool up to 20,000 gallons.

The ICEBERG (GPC-210) can cool larger backyard pools up to 30,000 gallons.

However, if your pool has a pebble finish (any color), quartz, tile, or any dark colored plaster bottom and your pool volume is close to the gallon limits above, you should go up one size when choosing your unit.Not only will your pool be refreshing during those hot summer months but your pool water chemistry will be easier to maintain.A 10 degree drop in water temperature (95' to 85') can result in a savings of 20-25% on chemical consumption.

How your water chemisrty effects your pocket book.

See what happens to you when you do not check your water chemistry!!!

Normally the first thing that comes to mind with improperly balance swimming pool water is algae. And rightfully so, which obviously impacts the pocket book trying to treat the algae.

How much did you spend on the last algae treatment?

Improperly kept water chemistry can affect you another way a you may not even notice. As the heat rises so does the chemical usage but here is a helpful tip, have all the chemical levels tested and balance them. A good example of of how it can cost you is seen most often in salt water pools. Unlike using tablet chlorine which adds a "top off" of cyanuric acid (Stabilizer) with each tablet, in a salt unless you are subsidising with more stabilizer then the level will drop. With a lack of an adequate amount of stabilizer the chlorine in the swimming pool burns out faster thus the more need for chlorine, thus the burning sensation in the pocket book.
