You are getting towards the end of the swimming season and you need to start thinking about closing out the pool for the year. You need to gather all of the products that you will need.

The first step is to verify using your test kits what pool chemicals that you will need to get your pool balanced out to have it ready. Your pH level should be at about 7.5.

Once you have it balanced you have three pool chemical products that you will want to add to your pool. You will want to start with a pool chemical to get the rust and lime out of the water. Once you have done this you will want to vacuum out the pool and possible even scrub the walls of the pool down to get the particles out that you have gotten out of the water and off the side of the pool. Then you will want to use an algaecide to protect your pool against algae growth during the winter months. The last pool chemical that you will want to add is a form a shock. You can go with either Chlorine or a non-chlorine base.

Once you have add all the pool chemicals it is important to run the pump for at least 12 hours to make sure that they are mixed well in pool water. During this time you can be removing all the accessories around the pool like the ladder or any other items that do not stay attached all winter.

You can also be cleaning your summer cover for winter storage. You want to clean it with fresh water to make sure you get all the chemicals off of it. Wait till it is dry to put it away. This would also be a good time to get your winter cover out.

When starting the process of putting on the winter pool cover you need to place something in the pool to prevent damage when the water freezes. There are products you can buy or you can just use an old inner tub and tie it to the sides of the pool. Once you have these in you need to tie down the cover tight. You can use cables or clamps. The key is to get it as tight as possible so that nothing gets underneath the pool cover during the winter months.

Next you need to drain your pool so that the water level is six to eight below the skimmer. Once you have done this you need to drain all of the water from the pool filter and pump. One other thing you can do to make sure that your pool pump is safe for the winter is to put some RV anti-freeze in and spin the pump. Putting the anti-freeze in the pool pump will prevent any water left in the pump from freezing and damaging the pump.

I bought an inflatable above ground swimming pool just a few summers ago. It turned out to be a good idea in beating the warm seasons. With a pool heater, swimming with the family has been extended from spring through the early part of fall. Adding an inflatable slide just about doubled the fun especially for children.

Why choose an inflatable pool slide? It is not your conventional pool slide but there are various reasons why an inflatable slide is a smart choice.

There are some concerns about the durability of an inflatable pool slide. These are softer than conventional materials like fiberglass or hard plastic but inflatable slides are designed to last for years. Materials are UV resistant and these have specific load or weight capacity.

Inflatable swimming pool slides may cost up to $400 or even $500 but when compared to other slides made of rigid materials, prices are significantly less.

Inflatable swimming pool slides continue to gain more popularity as awareness on child safety is a major concern. These are soft enough to absorb impact caused by bouncing, jumping and tumbling, thus preventing injuries. Such activities on a fiberglass slide can give you bruises and bumps. While fiberglass and plastic slides can still offer fun and excitement in the pool, there is a totally different feel to an inflatable swimming pool slide.

Setting up an inflatable swimming pool slide is easy. The first step is to fill the slide with air using either a hand pump or electric pump. Some models have tie-downs, making it easier to hold in place while others have anchors that need to be filled up with water. The slide has a water jet that has to be connected to a water line, typically a water hose. Most of the inflatable swimming pool slides are made of polyvinylchloride (PVC) material, a hard plastic that is specially built to withstand extremely warm weather conditions. This guarantees endless summers of fun at home with family and friends.

Some models are anchored to the pool side. Access to this type of inflatable slide is from outside of the pool. The other type of inflatable slide is set in the pool water, no longer requiring you to step out of the pool to climb it.

Who says the fun stops in winter season? Some of these inflatable slides can even be used during winter. Children especially have more fun in the snow with these inflatable slides.

There are available accessories for inflatable swimming pool slides that I would recommend to owners. While some suggest buying an electric pump, I use a hand pump just to allow myself to flex some muscles once in a while to inflate my pool and slide. A vinyl repair kit is also important in case there is a need to patch up holes. Although it rarely happens and it also depends on how careful you are as an owner and user, it does no harm to be always prepared.

Inflatable pools and slides is just the right fit for me. These are portable and can be stored once pool season ends.

The decision to add a spa to your home is an important one. Because of the many health and financial benefits of this addition, making the purchase should be taken seriously. There are some considerations to keep in mind as you comparison shop various home spas.

Make sure you understand the features of the spa and how to properly maintain it. Ask specific questions. If you are concerned, for example, on how loud the pump and jets are, ask those questions. Ask the sales associate to show you how to use the controls. Are all of the features designed to work easily and to your liking? Look at the spas seating configuration. Is there enough room for you, your friends and family to move about with ease?

Ask and consider whether or not the components of the unit are covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. If you have an issue with the spa, who do you contact? Make sure that you get a copy of the spas warranty and ask any questions you may have regarding exclusions or limitations. Inquire as to the cost to operate the spa from month to month. Just because a spa is less expensive upfront doesn’t mean that it wont cost you more long term if it requires more energy to run.

Determine which accessories you will need to maintain your spa. You will want to make sure you have the proper chemicals and cleaning materials to keep your spa running and protect your investment. Make sure that you protect any children or pets from entering the spa unsupervised. You will need to invest in a quality cover to keep your spa clean when not in use and protect children from getting into the spa while unattended.
