$250.00
Used Pentair Tagelus high rate sand filter for sale.
Excellent condition works as it should customer just decided to install a Cartridge filter instead of changing the sand.
I can't believe I have to have to say this but the sand is not included and will require actual pool filter sand not the play sand from Lowes.
Now that that's out of the way professional installation can be arranged within 20 miles of Titusville 32780
I also have a completely rebuilt 1.5 hp pool pump for sale with 1 year warranty. Click on my page and you should be able to see that if you're interested.
Thank you for looking and God bless

Owner of Olympus Pools agrees to dissolve company for good, stay out of the pool business for life 07/08/2023

My 2 cents.
The swimming pool industry like many industries is plagued with people that only operate with greed and incompetence. I started building pools in Massachusetts in 1987 and relocated to Florida at the end of 1997. I started with above ground and vinyl liner inground pools and eventually made it to the super high end luxury market. I've been involved with a couple jobs (that I know of) featured in 2 TV shows , 7 issues of luxury pools magazine and even won an award with my project chosen for opening day ceremonies for street of dreams Orlando 2006, not because we had the most amazing pool but because of all 8 contractors in the competition my pool was the only one that worked when opening day arrived. That was after being given a year to complete the project. I had to retire from building in 2019 because during construction of my last pool I literally went through 5 different guys between forming the pool, digging the hole, preliminary plumbing and installing the rebar. That was the 39th pool in one way or another I've had to complete myself with only subbing the gunite and interior finish. Between laziness, lack of pride in workmanship and sense of entitlement without any investment in time, perfecting your craft and just plain hardwork is unsustainable. People just don't seem to care anymore and look at the trades with disdain. I will be 50 next March and tell my 16 year old son all the time: " learn to do things with your hands because whenever in the future God decides to take me and people like me off this planet, people won't know how to do anything anymore and you'll be able to name your price."
This article isn't an anomaly it's a growing norm if these companies aren't just outright stealing your money they're cutting corners, doing subpar work, and in some cases building things that are outright dangerous yet somehow make it all the way through the inspection process.Since moving full time into service and repair I am coming across these things on a daily basis. I often have to refuse jobs because I'll point out that something was done incorrectly and if I fix whatever but don't address the safety hazard then I'm liable if someone gets hurt yet those same folks will often respond with " it hasn't been a problem before you're just trying to make more money!" Nothing could be further from the truth. In this new world where people will gladly sue you if the wind happens to blow a fart in someone's general direction, the second I put my hands on something and don't correct the danger I become part of the list of people taken to court when the inevitable happens. Even though I was never involved with creating the risk.
Even worse is that paying more doesn't guarantee anything because this is a specialty trade, and so not as many qualified candidates to do the work and most contractors use the same subcontractors. Kind of like clothing and footwear, you can have 2 identical items and 1 costs $50.00 and the other $100.00 but they're both made in the same factory in China they just have different logos and one has better marketing, but you're still getting the same poorly made crap.
All that being said there still are some excellent companies out there but now more than ever you really have to do your due diligence and don't just go by pretty pictures. Find out how long they've been in business, ask to go see a job or 2, ask for references and go on Google and look for complaints.
A swimming pool will only add between $8-12,000 in value to your home for every $20,000 you spend. A poorly built pool will just be a stain on your value.
I know everyone gets excited when they decide to build a pool and you want to be able to enjoy it. That's why the best investment you can make in your swimming pool is taking the time to actually find the most qualified company to do the job. Bad workmanship is one thing but certain things done wrong could literally kill you or someone you love.
Shop wisely.
God Bless

12 Water Safety Vacation Tips for Adults w/ Kids

Are you headed out on a much needed vacation? Considering a local staycation? Traveling with kids is always an adventure and we wanted to share a few tips and reminders to keep you safe and smart around the water before you embark on your trip.

1. Don’t Trust Their Barriers - So often we see gates, doors, fences that are not working (self latching and self closing) or they have been propped open by another guest. Operate under the mindset that their barrier doesn’t worker isn’t there. We see so often in drowning events, that these barriers were trusted to restrict access and something failed.

2. Be Mindful of Decorative / Informal Water - Many resorts and hotels have decorative water that kids are naturally drawn towards. Be alert for any fountains, fish ponds, or other water features that are meant to be a decorative feature.

3. BYOL + Mind the Gaps - Bring your own lifejacket. Lifejackets are a great layer of protection especially in vacation type environments. Not all resorts or hotels have lifejackets available, so we always recommend to bring your own. One you know fits your child properly, is comfortable for them, and is tested to keep them in the right position. We also recommend you “mind the gaps” of lifejacket use, meaning be aware and very intentional if it is removed for any reason (eating / using the bathroom), or even if you arrive to the water area and haven’t put the lifejacket on yet. These are all “gaps” in lifejacket usage and can be dangerous times. Put the lifejacket on before your arrive to the pool or water area and don’t take it off until you have left.

4. Be Aware of Access points - Know the access points of your room or house you are staying at. Does the backyard pool have a fence or a dog door? Does the hotel room walk out to a patio and the ocean or pond is quick access. Consider bringing easy to install door and window alarms that can be purchased online if you are concerned about blocking access points.

5. Relax or Supervise - Not Both - Seriously, this is so important. You can’t read a magazine and supervise and be an effective water watcher. Designate specific times for you to be a water watcher and other times for you to relax. My husband and I would rotate responsibilities, so I could feel good about sitting on a lounge chair and reading my book without interruption. You deserve to be able to relax on your vacation and your kids also deserve effective supervision. We call this singularity of purpose in the water safety world. One thing at a time. Also, important to note that while you are supervising children make sure you are in a good frame of mind and positioning to do so. No drugs or alcohol and at the edge of the pool with clear line of sight. I always try to keep a lifejacket near my feet too, in case I need to grab it and enter the water.

6. Clear Transfer of Care - We hear often post event that “mom thought dad was watching” and “dad thought mom was watching” or “grandma assumed mom was with the child” while “mom thought grandma was paying attention”. For safety we need clear transfer of care and responsibility. No questions or assumptions about who is supervising and who is not supervising. It is so easy to assume…and it can get us into lots of trouble.

7. Safety Briefings / Safety Breaks - Have a pre-meeting before you start your water fun. Outline expectations for your kids (lather them up with sunscreen and have them drink water) and discuss where they can play, how they should behave, ask if they see anything unsafe, discuss the depth of the water and anything else that is important. Read the signs, watch the activities taking place, and remind kids of the buddy system and if they “see something, to say something”. They are an important part of water safety too! Designate specific break times for rest (both for you and them) and rehydration.

8. Pack Mindset - We all stick together. If one of us has to use the restroom, we all go to the restroom. If one of us has to go back to the room, we all go back together….a pack mindset. Drownings have a sneaky way of happening during times when we are trying to manage it all. Outline the pack mindset expectation from the beginning and stick to it.

9. Water Clarity + Lighting - Make sure the water has good clarity, meaning you can see the deepest bottom drain grate. If the water is cloudy, or the area is not well lit…don’t go in. This is something we check in our initial safety briefing, but should be constantly monitored as conditions and time of day changes.

10. Bright + Contrasting Swim Wear - Think bright colors for your children’s swim wear. I love the neon pinks, oranges and greens. I want something that is going to pop and stick out underwater and that will contrast with the pool bottom color or against the water coloring. If you have multiple children consider placing them in the same color. Avoid white or light pastel colors as they disappear quickly underwater.

11. Know the Address + How to Get Help - Make sure you have the address to the facility handy and access to call 911 (or the country equivalent) quickly. In an emergency, you will want to make sure there are no delays in getting help to your location.

12. Feet First Entries - Whether you are at a beach or a pool - no diving. Always enter feet first. The ocean and lakes can be dynamic environments with changing depths or newly formed sandbars, and pools can have unmarked slopes or features underwater. Protect your head to avoid head, neck, and spinal injuries by always entering feet first!

If you are blessed to be going on a vacation or a staycation we wish you a safe trip filled with amazing memories!

Stay safe! Stay smart!
