pump user interfaces — making it fast and easy to get the pump set up perfectly from the start.

Designed for quick, intuitive use, Jandy’s exclusive FlyWheel ™

Navigation enables you to effortlessly scroll through its robust menu — you just turn the dial and press to select. Within minutes, you can easily program up to 10 schedules and eight additional timed runs.

Additionally, the SpeedSet controller provides tool- free mounting to four different positions for the optimal viewing angle and a large, vibrant, easy-to-read LCD display. Coupled with an easy-toaccess wiring connection point for all Jandy automation systems and local automation bypass control capability, the controller is ideal for simple setup and servicing.

But SpeedSet doesn’t just make programming the pump a breeze, it makes pool maintenance a cinch as well, with a dedicated CLEAN timer, perfect for circulating chemicals or vacuuming the pool, and a one-touch STOP button with on-the-fly TIMED STOP customization.

Jandy Infinite WaterColors

™

Nicheless LED Lights

Jandy Infinite WaterColors Nicheless Lights let users instantly select endless color without having to cycle through, and the options don’t end there.

While your customers can easily choose from 10 preset colors and five light shows, they’re no longer limited to just these preset selections — they now have unbounded access to transform their pool’s hue with a custom color palette generator— so they can turn their pool lights red, blue, green, and anything in-between. Advanced features even allow them to set the intensity of each light with advanced dimming capabilities and group lights into four separate zones that can be illuminated by different colors.

For the ultimate convenience in lighting control, Jandy Infinite WaterColors lights work with Jandy AquaLink RS to make turning on/ off lights and picking a shade simple using an intuitive interface via the iAquaLink app. Your customers can even operate lighting using a native skill for Alexa voice control and simply saying, “Alexa, make the pool light fuchsia,” or “Alexa, turn on the spa light.”

SKiM360 Products SKiM360 Floater

Finally, there is a tool that makes netting the surface of a pool easier, faster, and more efficient. The patented SKiM360 Floater addresses repetitive motion issues head on.

Other than size and shape, little has changed in the manual skimmer/ rake category for decades. Great companies provide quality rakes and skimmers, but none address the effort and strength needed to safely net 1220 pools a day.

Available in 16” and 18” sizes and with standard nylon, fine silt/pollen nylon and polyester leaf nets.

• SKiM360 stays centered at the waterline, skimming the same 16”/18” path regardless of direction of travel.

• Zero weight of the pole and skimmer allows the user to skim in any direction, at any speed, at any moment.

• The central float is easily removed to go below the surface to chase half floating suspended debris.

Pool Service Professionals

• No more throwing the pole out upside down and dragging it back.

• Reduces repetitive motion pain, strain, injury.

• You can provide or sell “SKiM360 Floaters” to customers. Have less debris on the bottom during weekly service stops.

Commercial Use

• Allows staff and lifeguards added reach on pools and water features where edge access is difficult or unsafe.

• Even the strongest staffer has trouble supporting the weight of an extended 12’, 14’, 16’ or even longer pole.

Pool Builders & Remodelers

• Provide a quality tool in their “Start Up Kit” that assists the pool owner in keeping the surface clean.
