Check the lighting deck boxes. In the US, I believe the code is to keep the ground and bond separate. In Canada, I believe they should be together.

I am in agreement that somewhere grounding conductor and the grounded conductor are bonded, but I'd be damned if it was in an obvious place. I will conduct some more testing in the morning but I wanted some feedback.

If you have ever cleaned a cartridge filter you know how time consuming and messy it can be.
There are many ways we have heard of on how to clean them and several products in the market that claim to clean them better than the next guy. All of them are made of typical plastic and usually last a year or two before they break or leak. Except One!

Filter Flosser Is the Best TOOL on the Market Today for Cleaning Cartridge Filters....

* It is made from 100% aluminum
* Creates an air & water agitation that gets deeper into the pleats than all other products.
* Saves 50% of the labor & water needed to do the job, so it saves money.
* Maintenance & Services technicians use and recommend Filter Flosser & Power Pic
* Recommended by cartridge filter manufacturers for cleaning their filters

Now Filter Flosser has introduced a companion product to clean system-3 systems and all 2-stage systems. It is called the Power Pic!

Added to the line up as a interchangeable nozzle to help keep unit cost down, the Power Pic goes where no cleaner has gone before.

Check out Filter Flosser on their webpage at; filterflosser.com and see for yourself how effective this tool is and judge for yourself. Also, look on line for filter flosser reviews and see what others are saying about this great tool....

I am curious as to what types of mobile devices are typically carried by people in the pool industry.

I saw a number of people carrying BlackBerrys and iPhones at the recent trade show in Niagara. Android devices were harder to spot.

Do you use your phone for any apps or it is mostly just for phone calls? Anyone carry a tablet with them?

Pool Boy Pro, my new iPhone App for Pool owners and professionals has just been approved by Apple. It will be available on Tuesday August 30th and the light version Tuesday the 6th of September. You can view more info on it here http://www.alliatek.com/mobile/poolboy/ It works on both iPhone and iPad.

It does water parameter logging, note taking, graphing, and you can setup many alerts to remind you to do all those tasks. It also has a calculator which you can edit to adjust for your specific product.

Public service message:

Do not cover your pool. It could blow away. This includes those with automatic covers. Unless your pool and it's equipment are on your homeowners, the repair is on you.

Boost your chlorine level to 10X the proper level shortly before it hits. 6% Bleach like Clorox or Great Value is best.

Turn off the system at the main panel's breaker to the sub-panel outside. before power goes out or you get a spike when another area goes off line, This will preserve your pumps and automation systems until power is reliable again.

Secure patio sets. Those with gunite pools might be able to pull the cushions off and set the chairs in the pool. They won't go anywhere. Obviously, don't do this with wrought iron type furniture. :-/

Turn tables upside down. They won't catch much wind that way.

Secure the shed.

Don't put things where they can fly. 100 MPH winds are no joke!

If anyone catches something I missed, please add it.

Being in the industry, I felt compelled to make these suggestions.
