Did you ever wish that your temperature measurements could be made a little easier, in clear digits with a better accuracy or even over a wider range without worrying about breakage or condensation? If so, Checktemp might be just what you have been looking for!

Checktemp gives you a temperature readout from -50 to 150°C or -58 to 302°F in seconds on a large LCD with ±0.3°C or ±0.5°F accuracy. NO breakage, NO waste, NO injuries, NO difficulty in reading. Not even a parallax error by taking the wrong measurement due to the angle of view!

Checktemp is provided with the unique Calibration Check function; simply activate the proper switch and the instrument will simulate 0.0°C (32°F) signal that has to be read on the LCD within a range of ±0.3°C (±0.5°F). This system guarantees the accuracy of your measurement at any time!

Zeobest will turn your sand filter into a super filter

Sand has a basically flat surface. Consequently, sand filters by trapping particulates between the grains of sand. The grains of filter sand in your filter create many small voids between the grains that allow the water and smaller particulates to flow down through your filter to be pumped back into your pool.

A grain of Zeobest has thousands of times more surface area than a similar sized grain of sand.

Use 100% natural zeolite minerals in your sand filter to provide excellent water clarity and quality. With nearly 9,800 times more square footage than sand, it can filter small particles ten times smaller. Zeobest removes ammonia produced from dead organic material to reduce red eye irritation and odor.

Using Zeobest also cuts down on chemical demand and backwashing. Use one pound of Zeobest for every two pounds of sand your filter requires.
