			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Owning a swimming spa can be fun and exciting. However, keeping up with the swimming spa care and chemicals may seem overwhelming at first. In fact, you may even think about hiring a pool expert to tend to your swimming spa. However, there are many swimming spa supplies and accessories available for you to use when taking your own swimming spa care and chemicals into your own capable hands.</p>
<p>Before you begin, it’s important for you to properly determine what swimming spa cleaning supplies you need. Obviously, you will need to purchase basic supplies like nets (to hand clean the surface of the pool). Stiff bristle brushes and cleansers can easily help you clean the sides of the spa. </p>
<p>Information on what tools are best used on your particular <a href="http://www.swimming-spas.com/" target=_blank >swimming spa</a> often comes to you via the installers at the swimming spa installation. The manufacturer usually gives you a booklet on what types of tools and cleaners you should use on your specific brand of swimming spa. </p>
<p>In addition to cleaning the swimming spa, swimming spa care also includes the use of swimming spa chemicals. Common swimming spa chemical products include sanitizers, algaecide, stabilizers, balancers and shock products. </p>
<p>If even one chemical is imbalanced in your swimming spa, it can harm swimmers or cause damage to your heating, filtering or pumping system. Remember, an ideal pool pH level should be between 7.4 and 7.6. Thus, it’s important for you to research and find out what you need to add to your pool to gain the best pH levels and water clarity.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The newest kid on the block in swimming pools and spa equipment, is the Endless Pool.  You derive the health and fitness benefits without the endless pool care that you associate with home swimming pools.    </p>
<p>The Endless Pool allows you to get the equivalent fitness workout of lap swimming in a very small area pool.  The benefit of the reduced size is that the workload of pool care and expense of pool supplies is greatly reduced, too.  The Endless Pool has a copper/silver water purification system that reduces the chlorine requirements by 80%!  The low-wattage filter keeps the water sparkling clean, and you only need to perform a simple water test once a week.  </p>
<p>Of course, the amount of pool care necessary for your Endless Pool is determined by your local water quality, the use it sustains, the temperature, and the evaporation rate.  But, all in all, you get the benefits of a larger pool without all the work.   Once you get your water balanced, it is just a minor adjustment from week to week that is necessary.</p>
<p>Every year or two, you will need to change your water.  The motor apparatus that operates the wave function needs replacement about every four or five years,  with oil filters replaced as needed. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you want the latest in outdoor home swimming, you should check out the endless pools and swimming spa options. Because many people are barely familiar with the terms &#8216;endless pools&#8217; and &#8216;swimming spas&#8217; they are very curious and eager to understand the technologies involved. With its continuous water flow, endless pools let the swimmer stay in place but swim as if they were going long distances.</p>
<p>An endless pool spa combines both the appeal of a comfortable spa and a high paced water flow. This allows swimmers to swim in place for exercise or relax in leisure. <a href='http://www.swimming-spas.com/category/swimming' target="_blank">Endless pools</a> and swimming spas come in a wide variety of styles, allowing them to fit seamlessly in many yards.</p>
<p>Endless pools and swimming spas options are diverse, allowing homeowners to easily incorporate one into their existing location. Sizes of these pools vary, starting at just over 7 feet long.<br />
The endless pool systems combine the luxury of a jetted spa and the relaxation of having a pool to swim in. They are rather small, allowing them to fit in almost any empty space.</p>
<p>Traditionally, endless pool and swimming spas options include pools made of fiberglass or acrylic surrounds. Standard equipment is the required plumbing as well as the high quality cover making it even more attractive to the eye. Endless pool and swimming spas options are designed with molded seats for users to sit in while relaxing, much like a traditional spa includes.</p>
<p>If you are caught between the idea of buying a swimming pool and a spa, the endless pools and swimming spas options can offer you the best of both worlds. The swimming component can allow you to get great water exercise, while the spa abilities can allow you to relax with friends and family in the same body of water.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Swimming pools can be a great investment for a homeowner and a popular attraction for neighborhood kids and family gatherings.  Unfortunately, <a href="http://www.swimming-spas.com/" target=_blank >swimming pool care</a> can be both time consuming and expensive if you don&#8217;t plan ahead and engage in some simple and inexpensive preventative measures.</p>
<p>The first key to swimming pool care is to monitor the pH and Alkalinity of the pool water on a weekly basis.  Any good pool supply store will sell a very inexpensive testing kit and all it takes is a small amount of water in a plastic measuring device followed by a couple of chemical drops and you can instantly determine if your pool is out of balance.</p>
<p>If you discover that your pool is out of balance, it is very important to immediately visit your pool care supply dealer to purchase chlorine, shocker or acid to bring the pool back into swimming shape.  Failing to do so can result in much bigger problems down the road and can actually promote the growth of harmful microorganisms that can make family members sick if they accidentally swallow the water.</p>
<p>The second key to pool care is to carefully monitor algae growth.  During times of the year when the pool is not being regularly used, algae may start to grow along the walls and on the surface of the pool.  Ultimately, this algae will make the water cloudy and can actually clog your pool filter.  While algae is generally not harmful to humans, it can create unpleasant odors and eye irritation if not treated.</p>
<p>The third and most critical pool care tip is to frequently skim the pool surface with a net to collect dead leaves and other debris.  Collecting these items before they break apart and sink below the surface is critical as they may also lead to cloudy water or chemical imbalances as natural material begins to decay in the pool.  If the pool allows for the use of a vacuum attachment through the filtering system, it is important to regularly clean the bottom of the pool to collect any natural material which may have begun to sink and which can quickly lead to the other problems described earlier.</p>
<p>Finally, depending on the lining surface of your pool and tile work, calcium deposits may start to form which will eventually take on a rust color.  To prevent this unsightly problem, it is important to regularly use an approved tool to scrape off the calcium, followed by a chemical treatment during off-seasons to assure that calcium and rust stains do not return.</p>
<p>Owning a pool is an incredibly rewarding experience and by following these few simple tips, it can become an investment that your family can enjoy for many years to come.  Pool care may take a little bit of thought and planning, but ultimately, the rewards will be well worth it.   </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you purchase a swimming spa, you are in for a great time.  Maintaining the swimming spa and dealing with the chemicals can seem like a huge chore in the beginning. In fact, you may even think about hiring a pool expert to tend to your swimming spa. </p>
<p>However, there are many swimming spa supplies and accessories available for you to use when taking your own swimming spa care and chemicals into your own capable hands.</p>
<p>Before starting, make sure you determine what swimming spa cleaning supplies you&#8217;ll need. You will, of course, need to buy basic supplies including nets to hand clean the pool&#8217;s surface. A hard brush with the appropriate cleaning agent type will enable you to properly clean all areas of the spa. </p>
<p>Installers at the swimming spa installation can provide you with information on which tools to use for your swimming spa. A car guide provided by the manufacturer will tell you want you need in order to maintain and clean your new spa.</p>
<p>Besides just cleaning the swimming spa, you must also use chemicals to maintain it. Common <a href='http://www.swimming-spas.com/store?mfg_id=&amp;category=4' target="_blank">swimming spa chemical</a> products include sanitizers, algaecide, stabilizers, balancers and shock products. </p>
<p>You must take care of your swimming spa because there can be many ill effects to swimmers or the heating, filtering, or pumping systems if any of the chemicals are imbalanced. Thus, itâs important for you to research and find out what you need to add to your pool to gain the best pH levels and water clarity.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It’s important to prime swimming pool pumps and filters, which is a term used to purge the air from the pool water pump, ensuring the filter pump is moving pool water adequately. These simple <a href="http://www.swimming-spas.com/store/?mfg_id=&#038;category=3" target=_blank >swimming pool pumps and filters</a> tips can help you ensure your pump is primed.</p>
<p>1. Turn off your pump. </p>
<p>2. Close all valves on the suction side of your swimming pool pump (main drain, skimmer, vacuum lines). </p>
<p>3. Open the strainer lid to the pump, slowly.</p>
<p>4. Look at the strainer basket for debris and clean it out if needed. Also be sure the basket is in good condition.</p>
<p>5. Look at the gasket or O-Ring for the strainer top. Be sure it can create a good seal and is clean.</p>
<p>6. Replace it and fill the strainer with water. You can do this using a bucket or garden hose.</p>
<p>7. Put the strainer lid back on and make sure that it forms a good seal.</p>
<p>8. If there are knobs to tighten, tighten them evenly using only your hands. Do not use a wrench or other tool because it may cause you to over-tighten them, causing distortion or breaking.</p>
<p>9. Turn on the pump.</p>
<p>10. Slowly open one side of the suction valve, only.</p>
<p>11. Wait for the pump to prime and start flowing the water.</p>
<p>12. When the water is flowing, open the other valve on the suction side.</p>
<p>Priming <a href="http://www.swimming-spas.com/store/" target=_blank >swimming pool pumps and filters</a> is important for proper functioning of your pool. So, be sure you know how to prime your pump and keep the water flowing freely.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you want the latest in outdoor home swimming, you should check out the <a href='http://www.swimming-spas.com/store/spas-and-portable-hot-tubs' target="_blank">endless pools</a> and swimming spa options. Many homeowners are curious to know more about endless pools and swimming spas options because they know very little about them. With its continuous water flow, endless pools let the swimmer stay in place but swim as if they were going long distances.</p>
<p>The endless pool spa has the striking features of a comfortable spa and speedy water flow, rolled in one. Swimmers can exercise by swimming in place or can simply rest in luxury. Endless pools and swimming spas come in a wide variety of styles, allowing them to fit seamlessly in many yards.</p>
<p>Endless pools and swimming spas options are diverse, allowing homeowners to easily incorporate one into their existing location. Sizes of these pools vary, starting at just over 7 feet long. The endless pool systems combine the luxury of a jetted spa and the relaxation of having a pool to swim in. They are rather small, allowing them to fit in almost any empty space.</p>
<p>Usually, endless pool and swimming spa options include fiberglass or acrylic surrounds. Standard equipment is the required plumbing as well as the high quality cover making it even more attractive to the eye. Endless pool and swimming spa options are made with molded seats for optimal relaxation like a traditional spa.</p>
<p>If you are caught between the idea of buying a swimming pool and a spa, the endless pools and swimming spas options can offer you the best of both worlds. The swimming component can allow you to get great water exercise, while the spa abilities can allow you to relax with friends and family in the same body of water.</p>
