THE OUTDOOR GREATROOM COMPANY
The Outdoor GreatRoom Company introduces Crystal Fire Plus technology. Crystal Fire Plus burners will be available individually and outfit all Outdoor GreatRoom Company fire pit tables. They are UL Listed to the ANSI Z21.97-2017/CSA 2.41-2017 standards and include many construction and safety updates, including a taller, brighter and fuller flame for a more natural, realistic appearance with a higher BTU capacity. A new variable-control safety valve provides safety ignition and safety shutdown operations. The valve features a fully adjustable flame height from low to high with a quiet, clean-burning operation. The new drainage system eliminates water drainage through the burner neck for more reliable operation.

CAL FLAME
The Cal Flame Top Gun Convection Grill uses high velocity fans to distribute hot air throughout the entire cavity of the grill when the grill hood is shut. By circulating hot air, the cooking times are enormously reduced and food is cooked steadily. The Convection Grill also offers faster preheat times, reduced gas consumption and increased cooking control. Made of solid 304-stainless steel, the burners emit up to 95,000 BTU with the company's 5-burner grill (75,000 BTU for the 4-burner grill) and have a 10-year warranty.

BDRY TOWEL
The Bdry Towel was created by Mike Townsend out of necessity while living in a corporate apartment with his wife and three daughters. Due to a hectic work schedule on a 6-month project, Mike had little family time and often had to work next to the swimming pool while his daughters swam. He quickly realized problems with his beach towel: it was a hassle to carry, it didn't cover the entire chair and it would slide down the back of the chair. There was also the wet towel problem, and it wasn't fun (after his daughters convinced him to swim) to continue working with a wet backside. After an exhaustive patent search, the Townsends patented a towel that solves these problems, plus the sweaty rear problem. The Bdry Towel has been tested thoroughly and offers portability, no sliding, full coverage and can extend the life of any chair by as much as 5-10 years.

CONTROLOMATIC
ControlOMatic has improved the MiniWarden controller with a new, selectable menu in both Spanish and English. The company says the MiniWarden has many features not found in a lower cost chemical controller including pH, ORP, temperature and optional PPM with TrueDPD. It measures chemical values in water, continuously delivering corrective chemicals as needed — unlike other chemical feed systems (adjustable feed pumps or metered erosion chlorinators), which don't adjust quickly to bather load changes. Made in the U.S.

TECHNIDEA CORPORATION
The ZIPLEVEL PRO-2000 received the "Best Featured Pool Construction Product" at the 2019 International PSP Expo in New Orleans. ZIPLEVEL is a bubble-free altimeter pressurized to prevent continual error inducing bubble formation during storage, stepping on or kinking the cord. Unlike a rotary laser, ZIPLEVEL lets you work alone to quickly level and read elevations directly in unmistakable, clear digits without line-of-sight, distance errors, factory calibration or math. It is fast, proven, affordable and made in the U.S. with a two-year factory warranty.

DECKORATORS
Deckorators introduces ALX Contemporary pre-assembled, aluminum deck railing in welded panels. The pre-assembled system saves deck builders valuable time and effort on railing installation, while the welding maximizes rigidity and strength, the company says. It features a sleek and modern look, with a thick powder-coated finish that resists scratches and corrosion. The panels come in four colors: textured black, textured white, weathered brown and bronze. Brushed titanium is also available in pre-assembled, anodized aluminum panels that are punched instead of welded. ALX Contemporary railing is backed by a lifetime limited warranty on manufacturing defects and powder coating, a 25-year removal-and-replacement warranty and a 10-year saltwater applications warranty.
