On the hunt for cool products in Vegas? Here's just some of the new and bestselling products you’ll find on the show floor:
Pleatco
The filtration needs of spas are very specific and fundamentally different in many ways from pools. With that in mind, Pleatco researched, developed and created the first premium performance filter cartridge optimized for spas. Pleatco Advanced SPA Filter Cartridges are made from an exclusive, heavier point-bonded filtration fabric with finer fibers that provide better flow, higher dirt holding capacity and longer performance life that simply outperforms competitive medias, the company says.

Coverstar
With a flip of a switch, a Coverstar automatic safety cover creates a barrier over the pool no child or pet can penetrate. With the recent release of AutoDrain, the pool area can be even safer, the company says. AutoDrain is a unique cover pump that automatically positions itself over the cover while it is closing, eliminating the need to manually place a cover pump on the cover. It will automatically detect and remove dangerous standing water from the top of the cover.

Frank Wall Enterprises
Frank Wall's Pool Wall Board is a patent-pending plastic sheet designed as a protective wall board for vinyl liner pool walls.

The PWB 1.0 density is very close to that of water and will not float when a liner floats, which reduces callbacks.

Beluga Pool Solutions
When a garden hose sits in the sun for even a short time, the water is warm when you turn it on. Beluga Pool Solutions took that logic and created the Beluga Solar Pool Heating Device, which attaches to a pools' filtration system and diverts a small stream of water into a garden hose. This water collects heat and is then returned to the pool 10 to 15 degrees warmer. The Beluga is one of the simplest, least expensive solutions to pool heating on the market, the company says.
