Go Green
When we started Hamlin Pools as a Rio Grande pool company in 1952, we certainly didn’t expect green to become the color of choice for pools! Today, we work hard to make environmentally green, safe pools, because we know how important it is to you and to the environment.
Whether you are building a new pool or retrofitting your current pool, we use the best and safest products and equipment. Hamlin Pools of Rio Grande offers heat pumps, super-efficient underwater LED color lighting systems, IntelliFlo variable flow and variable speed pumps, salt or ozone sanitation systems.
Here are some of the most popular pumps, lighting systems, and sanitizers that we use.
The world’s most intelligent pumps are a “no brainer”
A breakthrough in energy-efficiency and service life, the IntelliFlo® pump allows programming for 4 different speeds for different pool, spa or water features applications. By dialing in the minimum speed required for a task, the pump works less and uses less energy. Pump speeds are easily adjusted with the push of an up or down arrow button.
The IntelliFlo® VS+SVRS is the revolutionary way to reduce energy costs and meet the desire for the safest pool possible. This “intelligent” pump’s 8 speeds can help cut the pool portion of utility bills 30% to 90% and save you hundreds of dollars per year and thousands of dollars over its life. On the safety front, you install a Safety Vacuum Release System (SVRS) that senses drain blockage and automatically shuts the pump off in seconds to provide an important layer of entrapment protection.
An Eco Select™ Choice: Standard pool pumps can consume as much energy as all other home appliances combined – often costing more than $1,000 per year! IntelliFlo pumps can typically cut energy use by 30% to 90%, generally saving $621 to $1,356 in utility costs annually…more where rates are higher than average.*
*Savings based on comparison pump running between 6 and 12 hours per day at the national average of 15 cents/kilowatt hour in a 20,000 gallon pool.

The brightest and most efficient underwater LED color light available
IntelliBrite® automated color-changing pool and spa lights feature LED technology is the future of energy efficiency, lifetime value, quality of light, and controllability. With IntelliBrite, combinations of individual colored LEDs are mixed and matched to achieve a vibrant spectrum of colors. These combinations are power sequenced to illuminate and cycle through colors at varying speeds, and in different sequences of color. Combined with a custom reflector and unique lens design, the IntelliBrite LEDs offers super efficiency while being the brightest underwater LED light available.
An Eco Select™ Choice: LED (Light Emitting Diode) automated color-changing pool and spa lights are the most energy-efficient pool and spa lighting option available. Plus, they can last 30,000 hours or more, minimizing replacement cost and disposal.
Features
- A superior reflector design assures more light is directed toward the pool bottom to further increase intensity and color effects, while minimizing glare
- Superior lens geometry distributes light in an optimum way to avoid “hot spots” on the pool bottom. Light intensity and color are distributed more uniformly throughout your pool
- IntelliBrite® technology makes use of the brightest LEDs available in an underwater pool and spa light.
- IntelliBrite® pool lights allow a greater number of standard light programs and greater ability to create your personal, magic light shows. The result is a virtually endless range of dramatic underwater lighting effects at your command
- Set one of 5 predetermined fixed colors to match or create the mood for the evening – blue, green, magenta, white, and red
- Select from 7 popular “color shows” that come preprogrammed into IntelliBrite®
- IntelliBrite® was designed to work with IntelliTouch®, the leading control system for pool, spa, and poolscape equipment automation. In effect, you transfer control of IntelliBrite to the IntelliTouch® system which controls all your other backyard and pool features

Clean, healthy water doesn’t have to cost you more
Ozone actively breaks down non-living waste products in pool water which can combine with chlorine to form unhealthy by-products that can irritate skin and have been linked to asthma and other ailments. Use of ozone reduces the demand for pool chemicals by up to 70% and allows the chlorine in the pool to work more effectively as a disinfectant.
The patent pending ClearO3 consists of an extruded aluminum main body with fiber filled PPO resin end caps, so it is engineered to survive in the pool equipment environment. The cylindrical chamber of the Paramount ClearO3 system is optimized for maximum ozone generation and is sealed to minimize ozone leakage making the unit both powerful and safe around swimming pools. Radiant heat ribs dissipate heat to maintain ozone output at peak operating temperatures and the side panel is removable, making maintenance and bulb replacement easy.
Salt Cell
The salt cell is a series of plates with opposite charges in a cell. As the water passes between the plates, electrolysis takes place, releasing the chlorine in the salt.
Chemical Automation
Operating a swimming pool, spa, or water feature without an automated controller is analogous to operating your home heating system without a thermostat. Constantly turning your furnace on and off manually is unthinkable, yet the majority of swimming pool and spa operators control chemistry in exactly this fashion. As a consequence unsafe water conditions, chloramine formation, and excessive organic byproducts are common occurrences.
A conscientious pool operator should monitor a commercial pool hourly depending on swimming loads. A CAT automated controller continuously samples pH and sanitizer activity, constantly adjusting the feeding of chemicals on a basis proportional to the demand. The results include elimination of “human error”, accurate and reliable maintenance of chemical levels twenty-four hours a day, compliance with Health Department chemistry standards, reduced cost of service calls, and a reduction of chemical usage and costs.
