You could say our team was pleasantly surprised when they looked into the surge tank at the Paola Family Pool.

Sitting just above the newly installed submersible heat exchangers, is a 16" Sentry Pool Valve from when the original pool was constructed by Carrothers Construction CO LLC, circa 1996-97.

This one was fabricated with two custom, bottom mounted floats due to the size and elevation in the tank. All parts are original, and it is still modulating the main drain and pool water level 28 years later!

We recently installed and commissioned our high efficiency SPH-1600, Sentry Pool Heater, for the City of Paola KS at their outdoor pool.

While working on the roof exhaust vent, our team snapped a quick photo of the pool. It looks like the kiddos now have a fun multi-lane family waterslide added to their existing tower!

Thank you to Royal Construction Services, Water Technology, Inc. and the City of Paola, Kansas for putting our system to use on a great community pool!

Hopefully everyone had a great time at the Iowa Parks and Recreation Conference Exhibitor Social. We enjoyed making new connections as well as catching up with so many great people.

If you weren't able to stop by our booth, or our sister company, Pleva Mechanical Inc's booth, please reach out to see how we can help in every aspect of your Iowa aquatic facility!

📸 - Photo cred goes to last year's booth at the IA Parks and Recreation Conference because the service elevator broke down and we couldn't show the heater display😵

🌴NEW PROJECT UPDATE🌴- After over 25 years of operation, the Atlantis Paradise Island Resort in the Bahamas needed a new system they could trust to heat their signature pool, The Royal Bath. That trusted system would turn out to be our very own Sentry Pool Heater.

Along with the SPH-1600 Sentry Heater, the system was outfitted with our 16" touchscreen Sentry Controls to easily add future heater racks as well as automate any aspect of the mechanical space equipment.

Thank you to the leadership at Atlantis Bahamas and H2O for trusting our team to optimize such an iconic pool and resort!

WORLD'S GREATEST SWIM SCHOOL - Powered by Sentry Aquatic Innovations

Check out this recent episode of the World's Greatest TV about what makes the Natavi Swim School in Grimes, IA the world's greatest swim school!

You can see Natavi's segment starting at the 19:40 mark where they interviewed the owner, Ariel Pleva, as well as Sentry's very own, Andrew Pleva, about what makes the swim school the best in the world. Natavi's approach to health and wellness goes above and beyond just swimming lessons and brings tremendous value to the community.

More than just a pool heating company.

Earlier this year, the existing pool heaters at the Bolivar Recreation and Aquatic Center in Bolivar, MO were needing to be replaced. After visiting multiple facilities in Missouri and Kansas, the city ultimately decided to go with the Sentry Pool Heater.

Like many other facilities with our pool heaters, we don't leave until we've reviewed other aspects of the facility operation to make sure the facility is running optimally. We discovered the 11 year old facility was operating at a much higher air temperature and very low humidity level causing their bills to skyrocket. So much so that they would close down during the winter months!

We are currently working with the facility to help remedy the situation with the most cost effective options and expect to reduce their operating expenses by a significant amount.

- Sentry Pool Heater Gas/Propane Savings of $12K+ / year ✅
- Adding Sentry Smart Controller to remotely monitor mechanical room systems ✅
- Purchasing a Sentry Heater hoping to resolve pool heater headaches and reduce propane expense, but now may potentially save $2mil+ every 10 years 💲PRICELESS💲

Please share this post or let us know of any facilities that are struggling with high operating expenses. Who knows how many more facilities we can help that are struggling with a similar situation.

Another successful start up for a 1.2mil BTU Sentry Pool Heater!

The pools at McKinley Park in Creston, IA had the opportunity to upgrade their facility to be heated and chose to go with headache free, perfect water temps from day 1.

Thanks for trusting our team and choosing the best pool heater in the industry!
