00:00 introduction, Frank and Jacque talk about their cruise on Royal Caribbean to eastern Canada. Cape Liberty, Boston, Portland, Saint John NB, and Halifax NB.

11:30 Listener Question: J. J. from Dallas. I bought a house with an older pool last year. The plaster and tile were redone a couple of years ago before we bought it. It has older equipment that works fine. It does have a spa and a waterfall on the back wall that uses a different pump. My pool cleaner is an older Polaris with it’s own pump. I had to put $200 in parts in the cleaner this summer and have the seal replaced. I have 3 teenagers and two golden doodles that use the pool a lot from may through august. We are finishing up a couple upgrades in the house and have a decent budget left over to use on the pool. What are some upgrades you would recommend for my pool?

13:30 Robotic Cleaners are an excellent addition to any swimming pool. Frank highly recommends Polaris Alpha IQ+, Polaris Epic 8640 or Epic 8642. Make sure you get 3 year warranty. Avoid Maytronics until they get their warranty and parts availability improved.

23:40 Borates, for salt or traditional chlorine pools. A low cost product that will continue to give benefits and savings in a pool.

28:00 A variable-speed pump can save you up to $1000 per year in electricity and improve filtration and circulation.

35:45 Automation for your pool. Frank recommends Poolside Tech "The Attendant".

45:50 LED lighting. Frank recommends PAL lighting. Many advantages over other manufacturers.
