Recession Busters

You have the time to clean your pool?  Are you kidding me?

With the extremely busy lives that we all live these days, who has the time to spend hour after hour vacuuming your swimming pool ?  Some people have the money to hire a pool service to vacuum the pool for them, but even if you do it once a week, you know that it looks like crap the day after the vacuuming anyway.

What is a person to do?  Why, oh why, have they not invented something that does the vacuuming for you?  Kind of like some sort of futuristic robot type thing that you simply put in the pool and it does all the work for you. 

Well you are in luck because they have, in fact, invented such a thing....The Aquabot Fully Automatic Pool Vacuum Cleaner !  These things work g-r-e-a-t !  They clean the pool better than you can do yourself and work all the time....keeping you pool floor and walls scrubbed and vacuumed 24/7.  You HAVE to get one of these.

You are thinking....."Oh, those things are way too expensive...they are only for the rich, right?"  Well, actually no.  It is true that any auto vac cleaner will cost from $600 - $1300 bucks, but look at it this way.....the things have a life expectancy of about 10 years.  So let's take a $1000 unit for example...that's only $100 a year.  And just think of all the time you will save by not having to vacuum the pool - or even better - think all the money you will save by not having to pay a pool guy to do it.  They get from $30-$50 a week for vac service in most parts of the country.

So if have a pool guy vac your pool once a week at, let's say $40 per visit...and you have the pool vacuumed 15 times per season, that's $600 bucks in savings right there....in one year

You may say "Yeah, but I just do it myself, so your numbers mean nothing to me?'  Oh really?  Well, certainly your time is worth something.  As much as your spouse may think so, you are not "totally worthless"!  So let's say you went to get a job at MacDonald's and they paid you $10 / hour.  It takes anywhere from 1-2 hours to vac a pool.  So let's say that's $15 worth of your time, and that is assuming your time is only worth a fraction over minimum wage. So if you vac the pool once a week for the same 15 week average pool season, that adds up to $225.  That is still $125 a year more than the Aquabot costs over time.

Now you may feel that the whole money analogy is not for you.  OK, but you are forgetting one other MAIN BENEFIT of the Aquabots.....your pool is always clean - not just on the one day a week you vacuum it...but ALWAYS.  You can keep the Aquabot in the pool most of the time and run it everyday or every other day for a few hours and your pool walls and floor will ALWAYS be clean.  No amount of home vacuuming or pool service guy vacuuming can even come close to that!

Now let's talk green.  The Aquabots are a totally green product.  As a matter of fact they have earned the coveted "Certified Green Product" seal.  They work on low voltage DC current, so as well as being totally safe, they are very, very inexpensive to operate.  They vacuum the pool AND filter the water at the same time, so you save money on running your pool filter. They also do not waste ANY WATER, like the vacuuming and backwashing process usually does.  You do not lose one drop of water when vacuuming with your Aquabot - and in many parts of the country, drought conditions are making water very expensive as well.

So you save money, you save time, and you save the environment with the Aquabot Automatic Pool Vacuum Cleaner - AND your pool walls and floor are ALWAYS clean....not just on your "vacuuming day", but ALL WEEK LONG.

You owe it to your self to check out these wonderful inventions and start enjoying all the benefits of a crystal clean pool without all the work, expense and hassles !

FRED GOES SWIMMING VIDEO TOPS 28 MILLION VIEWS

If you are over 30 years old, you may not know who "Fred" is, or why he has been so instrumental in the continued popularity of YouTube.  If you are under 30, you most likely are familiar with Fred's antics on YouTube and either love him or hate him.

It is hard to explain Fred, other than that he is a comedian.  This particular Fred video, "Fred Goes Swimming", is certainly one of the most viewed YouTube videos, and since it has to do with swimming pools, we felt we should feature it here in our Newsletter.  This video has gotten over 28 million views so far.  Happy viewing....you probably wont understand it, but give it a try and see what "the youth of today" is doing/watching :o)

NEW SWIM SPA BUYER'S GUIDE HELPS TO EDUCATE

So you think you might want a swimming pool, but it costs too much money.  So you thought about getting a hot tub spa instead, but they seem to be just too small.  Don't you wish that someone would invent something that had all the best features of a pool and a spa combined, but at a really reasonable cost ?  Well, your wish has come true because although Swim Spas have actually been around for a few years, they are just now becoming much more popular and much more available throughout most of the USA - and the rest of the world too !

Quite simply, a Swim Spa is a machine that allows you to swim continuously against a water current. You never "hit the wall" or have to turn around to continue to swim laps like in a regular pool or a lap pool.  Swim Spas provide the absolute best swimming exercise work out, using the least amount of space in your home or yard. Swim Spas also act as smaller swimming pools in the sense that you can play around in them, or with some of the split-models, you actually have a hot tub spa in one end of it and a swimming area in the other end.

Visit Our Swimming Pool & Swim Spa Buyers Guide & Manufacturer's Links for a complete list of all the major manufacturers of Swim Spas and take a look at our new page, What is a Swim Spa ? to learn more and see many photos of the different types of Swim Spas on the market today.

This is a new section of our Online Newsletter where they let me, Dan Harrison, actually pick some of the products that I think will be the hottest selling items for this season.  These products are ones that I have researched and added to our web site because I feel that they deserve special mention and attention.  Some of these items are for sale through Poolandspa.com, and some you need to contact the manufacturer in order purchase.  Either way, my 30 years experience in the pool and spa industry tells me that these items will be HOT sellers this year and will be products you really should check out for your pool or spa !

Cover Valet Spa Cover Lifter

This is a MUST HAVE for all spa owners.  I have one of these on my personal spa and I could not live without it.  This cover lifter is the highest quality available on the market and is not flimsy, like many of the other ones. We sell these at Poolandspa.com and I would definitely recommend this product !  View the Cover Valet - Product Review and Installation Video


 

Prestige Spa Covers

These Spa Covers are great.  They are my favorite.  We have sold thousands and thousands of their covers since the mid-1980's.  They are very heavy duty and last a long time. Delivery is normally in about 2-3 weeks.  Take a look at this video to see all of the quality features they offer!  View the Prestige Spa Covers - Hot Tub Spa Cover Product Review Video


 

Spa Scenes Cover Murals

These are great full color murals that go on the back of your spa cover.  There is nothing like this available anywhere.  They look awesome - I even put one on my own personal spa! View the SpaScenes Cover Mural - Product Review And Installation Video


 

EZ Pads Spa Pads

This is a really great idea. Placing your spa is sometimes troublesome because you may not have a deck or patio, or you may not be sure where you want to place your spa.  These folks have invented a heavy duty portable spa decking system that allows you to make a spot for your spa - and then move it in the future.  Kind of hard to explain, but go to the link and take a look at the pictures and you will understand.  This product is great for people that are renting houses or who do not want to permanently build a deck or pour a concrete slab to put their spa on.  Check it out !


 

The Covana Automatic Spa Cover

OK, this has to be THE BEST spa product I have ever seen.  I spotted this at a spa convention last November and I was so impressed with this that we are now heavily promoting it.  It is a heavy duty automatic spa cover system that raises up and down by itself.  You have to click on the link to see it in action.  We gave it a Best Of Class Award for new product innovation!

Bug Zapper & Bug Slugger

Don’t you hate it when you have a bug ? Oooh there is a spider on the wall. Who let that fly in here ? Will you look at the size of that thing crawling on the carpet ! WHO IS GONNA GO OVER THERE AND KILL IT ? No one wants to ! Well, these problems are a thing of the past with the brand new Bug Zapper & Bug Slugger.

It is a small tennis-racquet looking swatter that is powered by 2 AA batteries. Comes complete with batteries and features a two button safety control switch to deter use by small children. Makes a great gift.


 

Digital Water Test Strip Reader

This handy Aquachek TruTest test strip reader was developed specifically for the pool and spa owner. Accurately reads Free Chlorine, Bromine, pH, and Total Alkalinity on test strips in 15 seconds without visual color matching. Takes the guesswork out of visually reading test strips – Great if you are colorblind! Lightweight strip reader is handheld, water resistant, and the large LCD screen is easy to read. Comes with Test strips too!
