Why is the RecSupply company mascot the Otter?

Why did we choose the otter as our mascot? Well, one of the reasons is that they know how to have fun in the water! Pardon the ad...

Drain Cover Safety Recall

According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), several VGB-Approved drain covers are being recalled because they were incorrectly rated for protection against body entrapment by independent third party laboratories. Not all covers or applications are affected, but the CPSC has identified several covers by manufacturer and model number. Please bookmark this link and refer to it for the most up to date information regarding the recall:

http://www.poolsafely.gov/news-resources/recalls/

To determine if your pool or in-ground spa drain cover is subject to the recall, call the Drain Cover Recall Hotline toll free at 866-478-3521 or contact the drain cover manufacturer directly.

Customers will not incur costs for reasonable replacement/retrofit of recalled drain covers that are installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Pool Owners must register with the manufacturer of the recalled drain cover and, where applicable, have the service performed by the manufacturer's authorized service provider, in order to avoid incurring costs for the replacement or retrofit of recalled covers.

Of the covers that we distribute, some (but not all) covers manufactured by AquaStar, Hayward Pool Products, Pentair, Waterway Plastics, and Lawson Aquatics are subject to the recall. None of the Eureka Manufacturing VGB stainless steel covers or fiberglass grates are subject to the recall. If you have any questions about whether or not your covers are subject to the recall, please review the list at the website linked above or contact the manufacturer directly. If you need help determining the manufacturer and model number of a cover you purchased from us, please call us toll free at 800-437-8072 or email us.

Paragon Starting Blocks

We have finally added Paragon starting blocks to our website. While we have offered them for sale through our catalog for as long as I can remember, they do require extra details when ordering, so we are unlikely to sell the items on our website. However, photos and product information for many of the most popular Paragon starting blocks are now available to help assist you in your starting platform shopping. Of course, we can provide any Paragon starting blocks and equipment. If you can't find it on our website, please give us a call toll free at 1-800-437-8072 or drop us an email.
