Just some key points I saw today:
Hayward was showing a new low end 4 relay, 3 actuator controller. No docs yet. Not built in salt cell transformer but it does have the receiver plug for an Aqua-Rite's controller cable. Can handle Solar and a gas fired heater, but I don't know how they prioritize yet. I will try to get more info tomorrow.
Jandy/Zodiac now has a combined combined chlorinator-Nature 2 devices, both for TriChlor tabs and another with a salt cell. I almost lost it when I heard the booth attendant suggest to a visitor at his booth that by putting one in, you'll get more for your openings because you know he has one and needs a new cartridge! Do it for the revenue and profits, not because it benefits the customer. Nice attitude, not.
Jandy now has a new model single speed pump to replace both the Hayward Super Pump and Pentair Whisper Flow. It comes with a riser for the base to accommodate the higher suction port of the whisper flow. I am not sure how the Whisper Flow and Super Pump's exhaust ports line up.
I like the way the Legacy heater is laid out. Easy to work on things like the high limits, temp sensor, pressure switch and it's feed tube, and control board. I am not sure about getting at the control panel but I like that it flips in and out of site and out of the weather.
Loop-Loc now has Ultra-Loc2 to replace Ultra-Loc. Tougher material and a cover for a 16x32 is one pound heavier than the original Ultra-Loc. It looks like I will be replacing my 10 year old Loc-Solid with Ultra-Loc2 next year. After having had my labs and shepherd race across it like an extension to the yard for so long, it's shot anyway. In all honesty, I was vary, vary leery about replacing my old Loc-Solid with Ultra-Loc. That concern is now gone with the new material being used.
More tomorrow.
