Malins Pool & Patio Supplies, Inc.

Has your pump stopped working?? It could be just the capacitor. We see many capacitors fail with the extreme heat. There are different sizes of capacitors. The numbers were are looking for are the mfd/uf number. The most common are 25, 30 and 50. We have all the sizes in stock.

Please keep Larry in your thoughts today. He broke his wrist on Saturday and is just about to go in for surgery to repair it.

Thank you!!

Good morning! We are open today 8am to 1pm!

Monthly Check in! Is your filter clean? If it hasn't been cleaned within last 3 months... Schedule a time to clean it. Proper filtration is essential for clear water. If you have had a major algae problem you may have to clean it more often.

Who can relate???

New items and a restock! I hadn't seen frog thermometers in a long time so I had to get them. We have gotten lots of requests for measuring cups. These will measure in ounces or cups.

August is here!! So it's time to bring out all the Fall and Halloween items!! We have a bunch of flags and other decor. We got all the flags out today and will bring everything else out shortly.

Just saw this post by Edison on ways to reduce your pool's electricity usage.

The part in blue is a little concerning. I had not heard of this new law for next year. I'll be consulting my Pentair rep on what will be required.

We just got an upgraded propane cage!!

Picked up a whole bunch of toys today!! Was only able to snap a few pictures before we left. It's going to be a hot weekend leading up to the 4th! Any fun plans coming up this week??

New items just arrived. We have some adorable thermometers and fine mesh skimmers. This skimmer net is great for getting pollen and tiny bugs off the surface of the water. AND the 360 brush is back in stock!!

It's the longest day of the year! It's supposed to be HOT this weekend. Do you have plans to spend some time at the pool?

FYI... Frontier is here working on our phone lines. There may be moments this morning with no phone or Internet. If you call and it doesn't connect you to us, just give it a few minutes and try again. Or you can always message us here.

Ducks. We've been hearing about ducks in pools a lot more this year than normal. There are several ideas out there to try. It really depends on the ducks if it works! This is a new one we are trying. Inflatable snakes in the pool.

We are open Monday May 27th from 8 am to 1 pm.

Corner brushes are very helpful for algae that builds up on the corners of steps and seats. The 360 brush has been so popular that we brought in the 12" version. But we do have other options for corner brushes as well.

A couple new items have arrived! We have a Pool Sentry water level control. These are great for maintaining the water level in the pool.

We now have a couple choices of battery operated vacuums with the Volt Fx-2 and Fx-8 cleaners. These work great for aboveground pools and spas.

A few new toys have made their way in!! Any toy you are looking for this summer??

New motor time. There are options for motor replacements! We can no longer sell single speed motors in the state of California. Everything now has to be variable speed. This is one of 2 motor options. 3rd option is to replace the whole pump.

Donuts!! We received a wonderful 5⭐ review the other day. So the staff got a treat! Thank you!!

Does your swimming pool equipment need some attention before the summer gets here? Let us know if you need any help! We offer free estimates for new equipment. Many times you can just send us photos of your equipment and we can get you estimate same day!

Here are a few before and after photos of some of our recent jobs.

The next generation of pool lights. This is the new Pentair Architectural series of lights. They have a high performing diffusive lens to minimize hot spots and dark corners. It is a simple retrofit of existing incandescent lights.

Color changing pool and spa bulbs are now in stock!

Want to know why your pool is messed up? It's the rain. We've had a theory and decided to test that theory.

Our rain is on the acidic side.

pH and alkalinity are the measurements for how much acid is in the water. A neutral pH should be 7.4-7.6 and alkalinity should be 80-120. Any number lower than that is acidic.

The numbers we have recorded are not good for the pool. If the health department were to test a commercial pool with these numbers, it would be closed until the acid was neutralized.

Even if you have a pool service, please check your water. You can use a home test or bring us in a sample. pH and alkalinity can be confusing and many don't understand it. We have been seeing lots of pools with a low alkalinity and it's an easy fix.

We want your pool water to be safe!

Before and after! We did a tile cleaning and tile repair.

FYI... Our Internet has been down all afternoon and now the phone lines went down. Major outage with Frontier. Feel free to message or comment here if you need anything.

Little repair on this Lil Rebel. The shaft on the turbine was completely worn off. Replaced the turbine and tires makes this Lil guy ready to go!

Easter Flags! Can't believe it's already Easter on Sunday. We still have some really cute flags available.
