Pool Lounge Chairs Offer Best Summer Relaxation

Comment

What could be more relaxing than sitting by the pool side on a warm summer day?  Sitting in the pool on a warm summer day.  Pool lounge chairs combine the comforts of a standard lounge chair with a traditional pool float.  You can soak up the sun, read a good book, or have a cozy conversation as you float gently in your pool.   Most pool lounge chairs come equipped with built-in cup holders, and many have adjustable backs so you can find the most comfortable position.  Some pool lounge chairs even feature a removable canopy so you can decrease the amount of sun exposure while you still enjoy the pool.

A Better Inflatable Swimming Pool

Comment

 

How many times have you purchased a cheap, inflatable pool for the kids only to have it punctured or otherwise damaged half way into the hot summer months?  In my family, it was the dog who decided to take a bite out of the pool’s poor quality plastic wall, and no amount of duct tape or other “quick fix” idea worked for very long.

We, as parents, begin each summer with that ever-renewing feeling of hope — the one that tells us that this year will be the year that the pool survives the whole summer.  So, we proceed to buy the inflatable pool.  Our hopes are often dashed, though, within a few short weeks, and we exclaim that “never again” will we buy a cheap inflatable pool.

What we really need is an inflatable pool that is good quality but inexpensive, and that will last more than one single summer.  I’m happy to report that there is such an animal.  It’s called the Fast Set Inflatable Swimming Pool.

Fast Set Inflatable Swimming Pools make it easy to set up a quality “temporary” pool in your backyard or driveway.  Simply lay out the swimming pool on a flat surface, inflate the collar with air, and add water. The self adjusting collar floats its way to the top of the pool, pulling the rugged walls along with it. Constructed of heavy duty marine grade vinyl, this inflatable pool is built to last more than one season.  It even comes equipped with its own pump and filter, as well as a 30-day warranty.

Add a Dazzling New Pool Light

Pool Light

Adding a new and exciting pool light can make your swimming experience even more enjoyable. Underwater Light Shows project colorful, dancing underwater lights onto your pool bottom and sides, creating a beautiful display. Many also come with a fountain. With this combination, you get entertainment both under and on top of the water. Other lights look like floating pieces of art. The Ocean Art Jellies are beautiful floating jellyfish-like lights. Super bright LED lights illuminate the jellyfish cap and spread soft light down into the tentacles. They float gracefully across the water’s surface, creating a beautiful effect. For a more eco-friendly choice in pool lights, there is the Solar Floating Pool Light. Solar cells store sunlight during the day to illuminate nights at your pool. They are offered in a rainbow of changing colors and stay illuminated for up to 12 hours. They even turn off automatically at dawn.

Salt Chlorine Generators

Salt Chlorine Generator

Salt water swimming pools may create images in your head of salty tasting water and high prices. However, you might be surprised! A salt water swimming pool is not a pool that tastes like the ocean and lacks chlorine. It is simply a pool that enjoys the benefits of a salt chlorine generator. These chlorine generators automatically convert small amounts of ordinary non-iodized table salt or water softener grades of salt into chlorine, keeping your swimming pool sanitized and free from algae. A teaspoon of salt per gallon of pool water is all you need. The salt never leaves your pool and is used over and over by the system to generate chlorine that purifies your water and leaves the pool crystal clear. Chlorine generators are totally automatic and are perfect for plaster, vinyl, or fiberglass residential pools up to 40,000 gallons.

The salt cannot be tasted because the salt solution in your pool is at a much lower level than that which is found in a human tear. You will no longer have to deal with harsh, smelly chlorine products.  The silky smooth water will no make your skin dry or your hair brittle. In fact, you skin and hair often feel softer after leaving the pool. Salt water pool are also much easier on your eyes than regular pools. You will be able to open your eyes underwater without the itch and burn of traditional chlorine. Installation is easy, as illustrated below, and you will save hundreds of dollars on pool chemicals! These systems are perfect for anyone who has little ones or sensitive skin, but also for anyone who is looking for a softer, gentler alternative to traditional chlorine.
