THE PACE OF LIFE TODAY IS FASTER THAN EVER BEFORE.

Simply put, people are traveling less and spending more time at home. And as we all know, the more we find enjoyment through staying home, the more money we save on the natural expenses that come with any type of travel.

That being said, I've come up with a list here of the top ways swimming pool ownership can improve one's happiness, health, and family. Although many pool shoppers may be aware of most of these benefits, I think it's important that each is considered and recognized as an incredible benefit to such a worthy investment. So here goes:

Family Time: I can personally attest to this benefit of pool ownership maybe more than any other. With all the new technology of the information age, families are being constantly pulled apart by a mountain of activities and ‘distractions'. Whether it's TV, computers, cell phones, etc.; it can be tough for a family to truly share quality time. Such is the beauty of swimming pool ownership-no distractions. Only smiles, games, and the sound of laughter. I can definitively say that my family has a stronger relationship because our swimming pool brings us together.

 Fitness: Although many adults buy swimming pools for the fitness component, most don't realize that their children will likely benefit much, much more in this area. Every summer, the children undergo a physical transformation from the end of spring to the end of summer. This is because they've usually gained a little bit of extra weight due to being inside so much during the winter and then they find themselves playing in the pool 3-5 hours a day once the summer is in full effect. Instead of being bored and looking for a snack in the pantry, they instead turn their focus to creating new and exciting games and activities in the pool. And the beauty is that EVERY activity they do in the pool involves exercise of some shape or form.

Stress relief: When customers debate over whether or not a pool will be a good investment, they need look no further than the fact that being in and around a pool is easily one of the most natural stress relievers in the world. There have been many times when people been under pressure from the typical stresses of daily life has shed away as I relax and enjoy the family as they splash into the water.

Aquatic Therapy: Similar to fitness, aquatic therapy can be a major benefit of pool ownership. In fact, swimming pools have blessed the lives of many with such issues as fibromyalgia, cerebral palsy, as well as other illnesses to mention only a few.

Home Improvement Value: The National Association of Realtors recently came out with an article discussing the fact that inground fiberglass and concrete pools increase the value of homes on average 5%. In other words, on a $500,000 home, a swimming pool will typically add about $25,000 worth of value. I mention this because some people think that pools will deter from the value of a home. Although this can be true in some cases, it is generally not the case.

FAQs

Q.       
Why is my water cloudy?

A:       
In 90% of cases this is caused by a lack of sanitizer or disinfectant. Once you
can get your sanitizer level at the 3-5ppm range, and maintain this level for a
couple of days, it will clear up.

Q:       
Why does my water foam when I turn on the jets?

A.       
Foaming is caused by a lack of sanitizer or disinfectant. Test your chlorine or
bromine levels and be sure it is in the proper 3-5ppm.

Q.       
Why does my water have a funny, musty smell?

This odor is normally caused because
the water needs to be disinfected, or the pH level is off. First, try
‘shocking’ the water with 2-3 tablespoons of disinfectant. If that does not
work, test your pH level to be sure it is in the proper range of 7.2-7.8. If
your pH level is not within this range, adjust your levels as recommended
by the Rintoul's professional.

Q.       
Why are there white flakes/particles floating in my water?

A.       
These flakes are ‘biofilm’ that has grown in your water due to lack of
sanitizer or disinfectant. Start by adding 3-4 tablespoons of sanitizer and
remove your existing filter. If the problem persists please bring a water
sample into the store.

Q:       
Why does my pH seem to always drop? Is there an easier way to keep it in the
recommended range?

A.       
The reason your pH is constantly dropping is that the products you are
putting in your hot tub are low in ph. The best way to keep it in line is to be
sure your total alkalinity level stays between 100 and 120 ppm to hold
the pH in its proper range. See your Rintoul's professional for exact
amounts of chemical to add.

Q:       
My sanitizer level is too high, how can I bring it down to the proper level?

A.       
There is more than one way to bring your sanitizer level down. First, try adding
fresh water to dilute the sanitizer. If this does not work, bring in a
water sample to Rintoul's Pools & Hot tubs for analysis and advice.

Q.       
How often should I be changing my water and replacing my filter?

A.       
We recommend changing your water every 6 months with regular hot tub usage (3-4
times per week). If you have two filters and you are cleaning them monthly they
should be replaced every 18-24 months. If the band in the middle of the filter
comes detached, it needs to be replaced.

Q.       
What is the difference between the water care products at Rintoul's Pools
& Hot Tubs and the Big Box Stores?

A.       
Most big box chemicals contain high percentages of fillers and binders to keep
the price down. You have to use much more of their products to get the desired
results – plus you end up adding unwanted by-products into your hot tub which
can lead to other issues in your water and mechanical equipment.

Entertaining poolside is always enjoyable, but there is a special appreciation for the quiet conversation with good friends and great wine.

Few things are more intimate than a warm summer evening gathered around your pool with the perfect balance of friends and food. Backyard entertaining can be simple and elegant. But you don't have to stress over the preparations. Remember, you should be able to enjoy the evening as well. Here are a few tips to make your backyard entertaining extra special.

Adding some white linen to your everyday decor adds elegance without a lot of fuss.

Cover a few tables with white pressed linen tablecloths. Add some tall vases with limes or pears for added greenery and place a candle in each for subdued lighting.

Melamine is back in fashion with colours to match any decor, but white is always a winner. Let your food be the inspiration for the infusion of summer fresh yellows, vibrant reds and luscious pinks. And if you plan your menu right, cutlery is unnecessary.

Fruit, always in season and ready to serve.

Watermelon and apple, pear or melon cut into rectangles sprinkled with sweet toasted coconut and chopped pistachios and drizzled with a really good balsamic vinegar blended with a bit of honey make for a very tasty and elegant fruit salad that you can eat without a fork.

A shot of red velvet

Cupcakes - easy to make and everyone loves them. Here is an elegant twist that makes guests think you had a private caterer. Use a red velvet cake mix and bake the cake on 2 deep sided cookie sheets so it doesn’t over flow and that the final baked layer is about 1 inch thick. It will bake faster, about half the time, so toothpick tests it often. Once cooled remove from pan onto parchment paper and put a layer of frosting over the entire surface of one. Trim the second layer so its even thickness and place the second cake layer, bottom side up, on top of the frosting. Take s shot glass size cutter and cut your cake into individual servings, add small dot of frosting to the top to complete your dessert. Serve on a paper doily for bite size elegance; add shaved chocolate on top for added brilliance.

Water cooler chicken

You can never go wrong with chicken being a party favorite and it's an easy dish to make but it can be cumbersome to eat on a stick. Prepare your favorite chicken dish, just cut into cubes rather than long strips and serve it in paper water cooler cups for easy finger food.

Meatloaf has never been more sophisticated

Using a pound of extra lean ground pork and a box of stove top stuffing, rolled to a fine crumb, mix together and add finely chopped baby spinach. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 -40 minutes in a shallow pan with meatloaf no deeper than 2 inch depth. Cut in 1 inch round shapes with a cookie cutter and served on a bed of baby spinach leaf with a slice of cherry tomato. Arrange on white platter and sprinkle with fresh basil for colour and aroma.

Don't forget the simplicity of a cutting board. Use it as your serving platter for cheese, vegetables and cured meats. It will look great and keep you moving among guests.

Design and custom installation of an in ground pool.

I am asked this question time and time again and there is no real answer.

The size of the project, the expertise needed for each step within the project, and of course

the weather all play a role in the  timeframe to complete your new pool.

Most professional pool builders will have a starting package which includes the basics needed

with a list of options that can fulfill your needs.

On small to midsize residential backyards most timelines would be aprox. 2 weeks for

installation then allow time for sodding or landscaping to green things up.

Larger projects can include designs from landscape architects with great detail on elevations

drainage, deck space, gazebos, pool cabanas, fencing and retaining walls.  This really helps 

the homeowner see how the finished product will look in there back yard.  These projects are 

usually 4 - 8 weeks depending on product availability and good old mother nature.

Take the time to find a reputable builder that has experience and lots of pictures and referrals

to help guide and educate you on this process.  The lowest price might make you feel good off

the start but the price is soon forgotten when things dont go as you planned.  Remember life 

is not perfect and when things go wrong you want a contractor that will recognize the issues 

 and make it right.
