Towel Day

“A towel is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have.”

Towel DaySaturday (May 25th) is Towel Day.  Towel Day pays tribute to Douglas Adams, author of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. After his death, Hitchhiker fans wanted to honor him so Towel Day was created.  In Chapter 3 of his book he talks about the importance of towels…  ”A towel is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have.”  So in honor of Adams, fans from around the world (or universe), carry around towels.

So before, during (well, maybe not during) and after your swim, be sure to keep your towel around ya, to celebrate Towel Day with the rest of the universe!

Here is a great customer testimonial that we received this week!

“Hi Della,

Just want to drop a quick note to say thank you for your suggestion of the Heat Pump.
 
It’s installed, wired, plumbed and now operating after opening the pool this weekend (18X36 in ground)  and it is working wonderfully. It heated the water from 59 to 80 degrees in less than 30 hours, and thats with the ambient outside temperature between 45 and 72 degrees.
 
I expressed concern about the noise level of such a large unit and you were correct, the noise level is quite low. Much lower than I expected.
 
Thanks for actually calling me back after requesting information through your website, and for saving me a lot of money with your suggestions.
 
Thanks again to you and the rest of the office.

Swimming Pool Gifts for Mom!

If you liked this post, say thanks by sharing it.

swimming pool gifts for momSunday is Mother’s Day.  A day to celebrate those women in our lives that selflessly give of their time, their energy, and their hearts for those they love.

Flowers, jewelry, macaroni necklaces, and chocolates are all nice ways to show your love to mom.  BUT let’s be real – what do mom’s really want?

1. An uninterrupted nap!  Sleep – the most cherished gift of all!  Why not purchase her a floating lounge chair for the pool – and give her at least a few uninterpreted hours to enjoy it!

2. Not having to clean for a day!  Maybe its time to buy an automatic pool cleaner, to at least mark off one area of the home that she won’t have to clean…. and of course, clean the house yourself for at least a day  :)

3. A day at the spa!  Quiet, relaxation, tranquility.  Three great words that many women never to get to learn the meaning of.  Of course getting away might not always be feasible, so getting her a pool heat pump to make your pool a soothing & relaxing oasis might be second best.

T-minus 3 days until Mother’s Day!  Be sure to spoil those women in your life!!!  Make it even sweet with swimming pool gifts for mom!
