From https://www.swimmingpoolsteve.com/pages/bd-review.html - With Hayward, Pentair and Jandy (Fluidra) dominating the swimming pool equipment supply industry it is definitely a notable event when a new brand comes to market with a competing product. In this case Black + Decker, through Blue Torrent, has a new line of variable speed pool pumps for sale this year. These pumps are very competitively priced and come with a longer than standard warranty period. With variable speed pumps in general, being such a hot topic right now due to their energy (and cost) savings benefits as well as shortages in equipment from the major brands, Black + Decker is poised to take some serious market share this year. These pumps are available in 1.5, 2 and 3 horsepower models (as well as a 1hp above ground pool model) and they are available through online retailers. Something that Black + Decker did right with their new line of pumps is that they made them compatible with the most popular existing line of pool pumps which are the Hayward Super Pumps and Pentair Superflo pumps. This means that the Black + Decker pump fits into the same plumbing configuration. Black + Decker also included unions for both 1.5" and 2" pipe connections which is very convenient. Finally and most importantly, the three inground pool models of Black + Decker pumps come with 5 years of warranty coverage which is longer than the vast majority of pumps sold by Pentair, Hayward and Jandy. #SwimmingPoolSteve #poolpump #poolpumpreview ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVyHPyHo_XY

From https://www.swimmingpoolsteve.com/pages/closing-mistakes2.html - Learn if you need to remove your swimming pool diving board for the winter or not. It is not a piece of pool equipment that necessarily requires removal for the winter season and can be left attached if desired. If it is left attached, it could be wrapped in a tarp for the off-season and cleaned with a pressure wash when the pool is reopened. #swimmingpoolsteve #poolclosing #winterize ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mgSXJZqIuM
