			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><P>Jandy is one of the reputed names in the industry of swimming pool accessories. It is an impressing fact that the actual inventor of automatic swimming pool cleaner Andrew Pansini started Jandy industries in the 1950&#8242;s. This company uses state-of-the art technology to make its swimming accessories. Their range of related products includes automatic filters, heat pumps, controls, heaters, and pumps.</P><br />
<P>Jandy today has reached the zenith of success by supplying high quality and high performance jandy pool pumps. While this brand has patented many new technologies in cleaning processes, there are loads of other features that you will find in Jandy pool pumps.</P><br />
<P>Here are some of the features that you&#8217;d find with these pumps:</P><br />
<P>1. Jandy has patented the &#8220;Quiet Technology&#8221;, which ensures less noise than other pumps. This feature makes it popular in the market as this technology makes the sound of the pumps tolerable and reduces noise pollution.</P><br />
<P>2. The Jandy pool pumps come with a large trap basket (actually one of the largest in the industry). This allows a large amount of debris to get filtered out of the water. Having large baskets require low maintenance and requires less frequent cleaning of the filters.</P><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><P>During this especially hot summer, people with pools are enjoying them more than ever as a way to cool off and have fun. However, with many areas seeing hotter temperatures than usual this year, bringing a new problem to the attention of pool owners and those who just love to enjoy someone else&#8217;s pool: how do you lower the temperature of a pool when it has become so warm that it is no longer refreshing?</P><br />
<P><STRONG>Try these ideas to cool off</STRONG></P><br />
<P>To get your pool feeling more like a swimming pool and less like a bathtub, there are two things that will definitely help: running your solar panels at night and installing a fountain or two. Although they may not seem like they would be certain ways to drop the temperature a few degrees, these are proven solutions to a too-hot pool.</P><br />
<P>-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Solar panels. Although most people probably associate solar panels with raising the temperature of a pool, running them at night instead of during the day can actually accomplish the opposite effect. Since the panels cool off at night, running the water through them lowers the temperature of that water, allowing it to return to the pool cooler than when it left. Just remember to turn the panels off during the day, or you can end up hotter than when you started!</P><br />
<P>-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Fountains. Not only do they make your pool area more attractive, but the spray of water leads to evaporation, which lowers the temperature by expending energy. You will get a more significant cooling effect by running them at night, and you will need to add water to the pool to compensate for the water that evaporates.</P><br />
<P><STRONG>These ideas won&#8217;t help</STRONG></P><br />
<P>During a hot summer, you might be tempted to try just about anything to cool off your pool. Before you waste your time and/or money, skip these ideas:</P><br />
<P>-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Pool covers. Despite what they may advertise, in hot climates, a pool cover won&#8217;t help with cooling. Instead, they stop evaporation, making it harder for the temperature of the water in your pool to drop.</P><br />
<P>-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Adding ice. It works in a glass, so why not in a pool? Think again &#8211; the amount of water in a pool is simply too large to be affected unless you added an enormous amount of ice, and even then the effect would wear off quickly.</P><P sizcache="2" sizset="67">If you are looking for advice about pools and <A href="http://www.pleasurepoolsno.com/swimming-pool-maintenance/" target=_new jQuery1285865930970="14">pool maintenance</A> in and around metro New Orleans, contact Pleasure Pools.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><P>There&#8217;s so many reasons to own a pool, but here&#8217;s just a few to get your curiosity tingled. Owning a pool is a great quality of life experience, and the pool can even improve your health!</P><br />
<P>1. Relaxation.</P><br />
<P>There are few places you can relax, even in your own home, better than in the weightless wonder of a swimming pool. The pool environment literally counteracts gravity. This is &#8220;relaxation&#8221; in a way only water can provide. It takes stress off muscles, and literally lets them rest.</P><br />
<P>&#8220;Pool therapy&#8221; is even used for older people to take the weight off tired and sometimes sore muscles and rejuvenate vitality. Heated pools are like super baths, promoting good circulation. They&#8217;re also good for the all-important mental relaxation, giving a feeling of peace and tranquility.</P><br />
<P>2. Quality family time.</P><br />
<P>There&#8217;s no better place to spend time with your children. The pool is a good family environment, a fun place for the kids, and a great area for games and generally enjoying life.The pool is a very good place for getting away from the &#8220;busy&#8221; mode which takes up so much of people&#8217;s lives. That&#8217;s a great form of relaxation, and for families trying to catch up on their quality time, the pool&#8217;s the perfect place.</P><br />
<P>3. Exercise.</P><br />
<P>Swimming is one of the best exercises there is for total body fitness. It&#8217;s used for everything from football training to physiotherapy for people recovering from serious injuries. Swimming exercises every muscle in the body systematically, and in coordinated muscle groups.</P><br />
<P>There are many different types of pool exercise. The most important point is that these exercises are excellent for a range of specific health purposes:</P><br />
<P>Stamina Breathing Muscle development Weight management Fitness levels Pool exercises allow you to do all these things in one place, in easy routines. Every top professional athlete does pool training regularly. That&#8217;s exactly how good your pool can be for your health.</P><br />
<P>4. Party time! Pool parties will make your house the place to be in summer.</P><br />
<P>Pool parties are legendary for their fun factor. Great food, great friends, and great fun are a winning combination in anyone&#8217;s language. You can stay cool and make the most of the summer with a beautiful pool. Just stay stocked up on your pool supplies, and you and your friends can practically live in the pool in summer.</P><br />
<P>Pools are designed to be enjoyed, so let your imagination run wild finding fun things for your pool party. Water polo and other games are fantastic fun, and if you&#8217;ve got kids, you won&#8217;t need to go looking for them, because you know where they&#8217;ll be.</P><br />
<P>5. House value.</P><br />
<P>You can increase the value of your house phenomenally by having a pool. Nothing looks as good as a well landscaped pool, and many people underestimate or forget about the appeal to buyers. A well-maintained swimming pool with an elegant layout and amenities is an extremely valuable asset. Whatever you spend on your pool, it&#8217;ll be making you money if you decide to sell.</P><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><P>If you want to relax, you can opt for places like the gym and spa. These places are also on the A-list when you talk about looking good. Men and women these days are very much into keeping themselves fit through these venues mentioned. That&#8217;s why the increasing number of gyms and spas mushrooming all over the place is not even surprising.</P><br />
<P>However, it might be hard for some people to include it in their routine especially if they are busy professionals or full-time parents. Going to the gym or spa can be an ordeal considering the distance and time constraints.</P><br />
<P>The good news is that you can achieve both the fitness benefits of the gym and the relaxing experience in the spa &#8211; at the convenience of your very own home. Well, I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ve heard about portable saunas.</P><br />
<P>Portable saunas can provide the detoxification that you body needs after being exposed to today&#8217;s stressful and polluted environment. And since it&#8217;s portable, you don&#8217;t have to leave your home. This alone is already a very big advantage because you can do a lot more important things.</P><br />
<P>Quality doesn&#8217;t get compromised either. The portable sauna offers the same safe way of having your body get rid of everyday impurities. Infrared saunas emit temperature ranging from a hundred to a hundred and fifty degrees in Fahrenheit. Despite this, it&#8217;s not risky at all because you have full control of the temperature you want it to provide. So even if your skin is sensitive to heat, you can make adjustments by starting with a mild temperature.</P><br />
<P>Portable saunas, given its lightweight features and easy-to-carry design, can be brought anywhere. You can have it with you during your out of town trips since it will fit in your luggage.</P><P sizcache="1" sizset="53">Written by Joyce Perez.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><P>On hot summer days, playing with your kids can be enjoyable for the whole family and can create a tighter family relationship. And what can be more enjoyable than having your own backyard water slide? Beating the summer heat in a swimming pool is cool if you have one, but if you don&#8217;t, the water slide can be the best alternative. It can also be the best practical option than going to public beaches because food is readily available and you can also avoid the overwhelming beach crowd. It can be a great fun for your kids playing in the backyard and they can even invite their friends to have more fun.</P><br />
<P>But choosing the right backyard water slide can be rather demanding. You have to know the specific needs, the preference of your kids, their likes and dislikes or fears. You have to decide which particular slide can bring plenty of fun to the kids. While fun is your ultimate desire, consideration on safety cannot be overlooked. Even a small amount of water can be hazardous to small kids because it makes things slippery. The design must be with lesser obstacles that make the kids trip and fall. The electricity used to inflate should be carefully checked to avoid danger of electrocution. The design of the backyard slide should fit the age level of your kids. Those that are too steep may not be ideal for smaller ones.</P><br />
<P>There are large assortments of safe and handy waterslides available in the market. You can choose those that are of the highest quality because these usually come with warranty and priced higher. There are also those competitively priced but these backyard water slides that are affordable that are safe and beautiful too.</P><br />
<P>The design of the waterslides should fit the age level of your kids. If you still have toddlers then you can opt to have two designs, one for the smaller ones and other for the older kids. For the smaller kids, the &#8220;run and slide&#8221; type that is laid flat on your backyard can be ideal. For the older kids you can choose those that have activity lagoon with climbing the walls, and even with twist type of water slides. These can even come with water cannons, water sprinklers and even with basketball activity. Those that are easy to inflate and deflate are ideal.</P><br />
<P>With your backyard water slide, spending your summer in your outdoor garden can be more fun. Your neighbors&#8217; kids can also be a part of the fun enjoyed by your kids.</P><P sizcache="1" sizset="65">Find out more about <A href="http://www.backyard-waterslides.com/" target=_new jQuery1276404806548="12">backyard water slides</A>.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><P>The idea that most people have about swimming pools is that they are dug in the ground. However, the good news is that now one can have pool even above the ground. These are better known as above ground pools.</P><br />
<P>There are a number of companies which market and sell them but the most popular retailers dealing in above grounds pools is Rec Warehouse above ground pools. These pools are a big hit with people as there needs no digging to be done and these can be easily installed.</P><br />
<P>These are convenient and also less expensive. Another good thing about these above ground-pools is that they come in different shapes, sizes and depths. These pools can accommodate people of all ages and it&#8217;s recommended that the pool has other accessories with it like the deck, some plants to make the place look more attractive.</P><br />
<P>One should bear in mind some key points while installing an above ground pool. The first and foremost point being that the above ground-pool should be installed by qualified professionals. The pool should be installed on a levelled surface so that it is resistant to tears and is more stable. The filter should be appropriately placed so that it functions well. The hose pipes and wires should be brightly coloured and well placed so that there are no falls and trips.</P><br />
<P>Care should be taken to see that the pool is safe for the use of all, especially children and older people. One may wonder as to why a deck should be used when a simple ladder would suffice. The simple reason is that an above ground-pool or any pool for that matter is not just a swimming pool but a place where people can hang out. And hence it is most important that the above ground pool is not just safe but also equally safe for the use of all.</P><P sizcache="1" sizset="65">Enjoy Your Swimming Pool!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><P>This is a topic very close to my heart, as I nearly lost my youngest son to drowning in a bath tub.</P><br />
<P>It happened like this. My daughter at the time was 5 and had a friend over with her older sister at our house. The girls were getting ready for a school disco, my daughter and her friend had a bath and the older sister had just taken her turn.</P><br />
<P>Unfortunately she had not pulled the plug out of the bath, at the time I was in the kitchen talking to my husband and noticed my daughter in her bedroom with the other girls. A quick head count and call it a mothers instinct but I headed straight to the bathroom and my son was rolling around. As you can imagine my heart stopped but he was ok.</P><br />
<P>After I had calmed down I had to explain the importance to the girls to always pull the plug out of the bath. You would have thought a 1 year would not remember, but they do somehow. It took years for my son to put his head under the shower to wash his hair. Countless years of swimming lessons before he gained confidence in water. He is now 8 and I am blessed not to have lost him.</P><br />
<P>Everyone regardless has a responsibility to ensure all children are safe around water. In New Zealand if you have a Swimming Pool you are governed by the Fencing of Swimming Pools Act 1987 and this Act requires:</P><br />
<P>Where there is a private swimming pool or spa pool it must be fenced unless:</P><br />
<P>* It&#8217;s a maximum depth is 400mm or less; or</P><br />
<P>* Its walls are 1.2 metres or more above the ground or the pool&#8217;s surround. (There must be no permanent means of access or temporary steps must be removed after use) or;</P><br />
<P>* It is indoors.</P><br />
<P>* You must notify your Council if you have a pool or spa or intend to build or install one.</P><br />
<P>* A building consent is required prior to construction/installing a pool or alteration of fencing around a pool.</P><br />
<P>* All pools must be fenced to the standard set out in the Act. If a pool is not fenced to such standard in the Act it must be kept empty.</P><br />
<P>* Anyone renting or leasing a house with a pool must ensure the pool is kept empty if it does not comply with the Act.</P><br />
<P>* The fence must surround the pool and any area around the pool including any area used in association with the pool.</P><br />
<P>* The standard of fencing required is available in the Swimming Pools Act 1987.</P><br />
<P>Again if you are unsure check with your local council.</P><br />
<P>There is no better safe guard then to constantly supervise children around water, and ensure every child can swim. Lets do it for the kids.</P><P sizcache="1" sizset="65">Article by Kim Matheson Principal of Property Conveyancing Services Ltd.

<p>There are some swimming pool chemicals that are absolutely essential to upkeeping your swimming pool and keeping it sanitary. Swimming pools are all in good fun, but there is some maintenance that needs to be done in order to ensure that it will be safe for anybody to swimming. Pools can be a breeding ground for bacteria, so you need to be sure that you keep it cleaned when need be.</p>
<p>Various bacteria needs be cleaned out of the pool before you use it, and the pH balance needs to be leveled. There are various chemicals you can use to do this. Most of them you can find some department stores, while others you will have to go to specialty pool supply retailers or websites.</p>
<p>Ensuring that the pH is balanced is the most important part of choosing swimming pool chemicals. To check your pH balance I need to do is pick up a test at any retailers that sell any other pool supplies. Checking your pH balance should be the first thing you do aside from add chlorine. The pH balance affects how hard or soft the water is, as well as how clear it is and whether or not it damages your eyes. For this reason, the pH balance is very important.</p>
<p>The chlorine helps kill any bacteria or pathogens that may be in the water. It is equally as important as the pH balancing, and you should be sure to add chlorine when needed. Having a quality filtration system can help circulate the water, but it cannot keep it within the water permanently. It is crucial that you constantly have the right amount of chlorine in your water in order to ensure that is always safe. If you are too much chlorine, it can be harmful to the eyes of anyone who gets in the water.</p>
<p>Aside from swimming pool chemicals, you should also have filtration system is well as a vacuum. The filtration system helps filter out anything that the chlorine to kill, as well as larger particles that chlorine simply cannot handle. The vacuum and allows you get algae out easily. These pieces of equipment, as well as the chemicals that you need, you can ensure that you will not have to completely replace your water very often.</p>
<p>You should only have to replace your water once every 2 to 3 months, and no more than that. That is why it is important for you keep careful track of your single chemicals and the well-being of your pool. Have people of the clean pool, and a pull cannot clean itself. Take the necessary steps keep it clean and you will minimize problems in the long run.</p>

<p>When it is cold outside, pool owners have to use swimming pool covers in order to keep debris from falling in to the pool. These covers also keep leaves and other debris from falling into the water in the months that you cannot use the pool as well. With that in mind, you need to find covers that will be able to fit the expanse of your pool, as well as survive the elements through the colder months.</p>
<p>There are different types of swimming pool covers for pools that are below the ground or on top of the ground. You know which type of pool this is, because it is fairly obvious. Pools are under the ground or built in, while ones are above the ground are set up. One that is an in ground pool is permanently installed, while those that are not to be taken down at any time.</p>
<p>It should be noted that if you have an above ground pool then you have two options. You can either leave the pool up once it gets cold outside and put a cover on it, or you could simply take it down depending on the type of pool it is. If it is one that does not have anything holding it up (so the sides are inflatable), then you can indeed just take it down for the winter. However, if you had to literally set up it is going to be more difficult to take it down. If you have the latter type of above ground pool that it is a better idea for you to get a cover.</p>
<p>Any in ground pools should have swimming pool covers for the winter. In ground pools tend to be larger than those that are above ground, and you have to keep up with their maintenance for years. It is as much easier to put a cover on them to forget about them for the winter.</p>
<p>Using a pool cover can keep you from having to clean up the bottom of the pool before using it again. This is especially true if you keep water in the pool during the winter months, which can get extremely dirty especially if uncovered. Remember that leaves fall from the trees during the fall, and winter weather can be rough. These reasons are why a pool cover is absolutely essential if you own a pool, whether or not you drain the water from it or not.</p>
<p>You can find swimming pool covers at just about any pool supply retailer. They are a common product, and can be found at reasonable prices. Expect to pay anywhere from $15-$30 for your pool cover.</p>
