Keith's Top Picks
Keith's Pick PoolRX+ uses copper, zinc, and silver to create a mineral barrier that prevents algae before it starts. EPA registered and NSF certified. I put one of these in every pool I service — it reduces chemical demand and makes my job easier. The 7.5k-20k gallon size covers most residential pools.

Keith's Pick This sits on top of your skimmer basket and does two things: the grate catches large debris before it clogs your pump, and the sacrificial aluminum anode protects your equipment from galvanic corrosion. Cheap insurance for expensive pool equipment.

Keith's Pick This little robot cruises your pool surface all day catching leaves, pollen, and bugs before they sink. Solar powered with battery backup so it works around the clock. The salt chlorine tolerant motors are a must for Austin pools with salt systems.

Keith's Pick The tower-vented design lets water flow even when the basket is packed with leaves. Your stock skimmer basket clogs and starves the pump. This one keeps water flowing and has a built-in handle for easy removal. Simple upgrade that protects your pump.

Keith's Pick TankTrax drive system climbs walls and handles any surface. Dual-stage filtration catches fine debris that other cleaners miss. The active scrubbing brushes clean as it goes — not just vacuuming but actually scrubbing. Handles pools up to 70 feet. This is what I recommend for new installs.

Keith's Pick Cheap inflatable floats pop and deflate. This 70x26 inch closed-cell foam lounger is virtually indestructible, does not absorb water, and does not need inflation. The built-in headrest is comfortable for hours. This is the float I have in my own pool.

Keith's Pick This ball fills with water so you can pass, dribble, and dive for it underwater. It is the single best pool game for kids and adults. Every pool party I have been to where someone brings this, it becomes the main event for hours.
