Among the new products from pool and spa distributor SCP are a variable-speed pump and an automatic pool cleaner.

First is the Superpool II VS, a high-efficiency variable-speed pump billed as ideal for both new pool construction and replacement.

Featuring an integrated controller with touch-sensitive buttons for real-time information display, the pump offers three programmable speeds in 10rpm increments for precise adjustment of the pump flow, as well as ideal filtration rate settings with 24-hour circulation.

Meanwhile the PV50S automatic pool cleaner from Hayward operates autonomously without any external power supply to clean the floor and slopes of the pool, thanks to its turbines.

SCP says that the unit’s exclusive guidance system and spiral motion prevent the cleaner from jamming. Advanced ‘pod propulsion’ eliminates the need for wheels and belts, giving consistent performance and long life.

The PV50S is described as ‘quiet’, and is said to be easy to install with no tools required.
