Fun Pool Toys to Rock Out the Rest of Summer

I don't know about you, but I'm not ready to let go of summer yet. There are too many fun ways to play in the pool. From beach balls to diving rings, from squirt guns to water shooters, from Marco Polo to cannon ball jumping contests and more, spending hours in the pool is something our family enjoys. One of my favorite games to play in or out of the water is volleyball.

When it's time to cool things down, we love to lounge on floats and read or take turns pushing one another around on air mattresses.

No matter how you like to play or unwind in the pool, your local Pinch A Penny has the supplies for you. From pool toys to floats, from pool sports to diving gear, from water wings to kickboards and more, you'll find what you're looking for. No time to browse the store, then click on over to the Pinch A Penny website and place your order online.

Squeeze all the fun you can out of summer with great recreational pool products from Pinch A Penny.

Energy-efficient Motors and Pumps for Your Pool

As of March 15, 2012, Florida Building Code requires energy-efficient motors and pumps on all new swimming pools. It also requires them for any pools that undergo renovations of 30% or more. By complying with this new Code, you can save energy and money.

You can find variable speed pool pumps and motors at your local Pinch-A-Penny. Variable speed pumps can run at lower speeds while maintaining the same level of cleaning/sanitation. Not only will you reduce your energy consumption, there will be less noise too. Pinch-A-Penny carries a variety of variable speed pumps manufactured by:

Hayward
Jandy
Pentair

You'll also find energy-efficient motors made by Century Motors and Marathon Motors. Check your local store to see what they have available.

Pinch-A-Penny can help you calculate your energy savings. Stop in today to upgrade your pump or motor. Invest to be up to code. Invest to save the planet. Invest to save money.

Solar Powered Outdoor Shower Makes Rinsing Off a Breeze

Our neighbors host tons of pool parties. It's not unusual for there to be 20 people or more hanging out by the pool at these shindigs. Having a large number of people in your pool can lead to cloudy water because of all the residue from sunscreen, lotion, hair care products and makeup.

While clarifiers and enzyme products will help clear up cloudy water, it's best to have guests rinse off before swimming. The G.A.M.E. Outdoor Solar Shower with Base is the perfect solution. Easy to assemble, this eco-friendly shower uses the sun's energy to warm up the water inside the shower cylinder tank. Mount the shower anywhere it is close to a garden hose, hook it up, fill up the tank and let the sun warm up the water.

The G.A.M.E. Outdoor Solar Shower features a swivel shower head and hot and cold temperature adjustment. It mounts to most surfaces and connects to a standard garden hose. Its non-corrosive PVC construction will stand up to the elements.

Your guests will also appreciate rinsing off with the G.A.M.E. Outdoor Solar Shower after taking a dip in your pool. Keep your water clear and your guests smiling with the G.A.M.E. Outdoor Solar Shower.

With technology becoming more affordable, I see tons of people with smartphones and iPhones. And what do they do with them when they want to take a dip?
