Clemco Pool Pal with Remote Controls (SKU #24474)
Portable 1 Cu. Ft. Pool Tile Blast Machine for Fine-Mesh Media
The Clemco Pool Pal with Remote Controls is a compact, field-portable abrasive blast machine designed for pool tile cleaning and other light- to medium-duty blasting applications. Built around the Clemco 1042PP platform, it is intended for contractors who need a mobile blasting system that can remove calcium deposits, mineral buildup, oily residue, mold, algae, and scale from pool tile and surrounding pool-area surfaces.
This model uses a 10-inch diameter pressure vessel with 1 cubic foot media capacity and a maximum 125 psi working pressure. With a 1/8-inch nozzle, air consumption is 17 cfm at 80 psi, and one full load of media provides approximately 30 minutes of nonstop blasting before refill.
The basic Pool Pal includes OSHA-required remote controls, a lightweight fine-mesh media metering valve, and an air filter/moisture separator to help maintain media flow. It is a strong option for buyers who already have compatible blasting accessories or want to build their setup around the base machine.
How It Differs from the Pool Pal Package
The Pool Pal with Remote Controls is the base machine. It includes the machine, remote controls, and air filter/moisture separator, but it does not include the coupled blast hose, CT-2 nozzle, wetblast attachment, screen, or cover that come with the Pool Pal Package.
If you want the more complete ready-to-use configuration, see the Clemco Pool Pal Package.
