Protect Your Pets and Other Critters From Accidental Drowning

 

Protecting your children in your family pool is a given! Every parent knows the importance of protecting your loved ones, but have you considered protecting small creatures that may wander into your pool? Small animals such as cats, dogs, frogs, squirrels, and rodents can often find their way into your pool water. In the U.S. alone, over 50,000 family pets drown needlessly in swimming pools and walled lakes each year . This number does not even include non-pet drownings. There are tools available to help prevent this sad occurrence. In addition to the humane act of sparing the small animals’ lives, you minimize bacteria from animal waste because they will be safe and sound on your pool deck instead of being trapped in your pool skimmer. The Pool Critter Escape Ramp is a floating ramp with a weighted pillow that sits on your pool deck. When small animals fall into your water, they will instinctively swim to the sides of the pool looking for a way out. When they encounter the escape ramp, they can crawl out on their own. The Skamper-Ramp works in a similar way. It is constructed of blowmolded polyethylene that is both light and sturdy. It is also chemical and weather resistant to offer protection over many seasons! Both choices are affordable and almost effortless to install!

Ergonomic Chair Takes Pain Out of Poolside Lounging

Ergo Lounger Spa Chair

Enjoying a warm and relaxing afternoon lounging by the pool is impossible if you can’t get comfortable.  Unfortunately, not all lounge chairs are created equal.  Reclining fully on a typical lounge chair is uncomfortable, and even downright painful, for many people — especially when positioned face down.  Back pain and neck pain are the result of a lounge chair’s poor body support.

The Ergo Lounger Spa is a therapeutic lounge chair that can be enjoyed poolside or in any outdoor livingFace Pillow area.  The Ergo Lounger offers neck and back support so that your body is supported in any position, whether sitting straight up or fully reclined.  The comfortable head support doubles as a face pillow when you wish to lie face down.  The face pillow has a hole in the center, similar to that on a massage table, so you can enjoy reading or dozing without straining your neck.

The point of a lounge chair is to offer relaxation, but most lounge chairs aren’t designed to properly support the body.  As a result, they don’t provide adequate comfort and can actually exacerbate existing aches and pains.  Finding true relaxation in a lounge chair means finding the right lounge chair.  For many people, the Ergo Lounger Spa chair offers the ideal solution.
