Western Pool & Spa Show Walking Video Tour of the Exhibit Hall!
Description
Here is my video walk-through of the Western Pool & Spa Show which is held every March in Long Beach Ca. Pool Trade shows are a great way to meet the faces behind the companies from whom we purchase thousands of dollars worth of equipment, chemicals, and supplies. I believe the Western Pool & Spa Show is one of the premier events in the swimming pool industry.
Here is the website for the show and the expo hall floor plan for you.

Of course, at every show are the big three. Pentair, Fluidra, and Hayward. Then you have a bunch of smaller players and individual companies as well as companies geared towards the construction end. Let me touch on a few notable companies at the show.
In reverse order as shown in the video are some of the companies, I highlighted at this year's show. Advantage Manufacturing makes great portable filtration systems and service carts. They are a family-owned business, and they have the pool trade professional in mind with everything they do. Here are some videos I filmed for them.

Pool Service Software is a solid choice when it comes to routing software. You can learn more from the podcast I recorded with them last year:

The VacDaddy is an interesting vacuum system. It fits no category currently on the market. It can pull 55 gallons per minute and is a great replacement for system vacuuming.

Skimmer is the premiere pool routing software. It is the “Apple” of the software companies. If you are looking for software to manage your pool route check out Skimmer.

Primate Pool Tools makes the toughest as well as the lightest service pole coming at just over 2.5 lbs. and they are made to last! If you think a light pole is nothing special, try one for a day and see how much it saves on your back and shoulders.

I mentioned Wayne Ivusich was retiring from Taylor this year. I recorded a few podcasts with Wayne over the years and his knowledge in the industry will surely be missed.

On the other end of the table is HASA which is one of the biggest, if not the biggest producers of liquid chlorine in the nation or at least on the West coast. Liquid chlorine has one big advantage over Tri-Chlor tablets and that is it contains no Cyunaric Acid or stabilizer. So you are not raising the pool’s CYA level when you use liquid chlorine. It is also readily available and hopefully this year more so than last year.

There are just too many great companies at the show to detail including Easy Care Products, Purity Pool, SPPA, and many more.
