New Spa Covers Improve Energy Efficiency

 

If you Spa cover has deteriorated over time your hot tub is losing heat and costing you money!  If your old cover has become too heavy, this could indicate that it is water-logged.  Deteriorated, water-logged or ripped spa covers are using TOO MUCH energy, costing you extra money to heat the water.

Your Spa cover should be a vacuum heat seal to trap the heat and prevent it from leaving the hot tub.  A high quality replacement spa cover will not only save energy, it will also last longer, be more resistant to water absorption, and improve the beauty of your spa.

Give Suntek Pools and Spas today and we'll be glad to help you find the perfectly sized and fitted spa cover! Remember to connect with us on Facebook, Linked Here, for pool and spa tips, products and yes, some fun stuff too!

Is It Safe to Open Your Eyes Underwater?

Anyone who has been in the pool or hot tub will tell you that at one time or another they've opened their eyes underwater.  But this brings up a bigger question - is it safe to open your eyes underwater?

Many believe that he chlorine in the water causes eye redness, but the water's pH level is actually the cause!  The pH level measures how acidic the water is, if the pH is above or below the correct range they your eyes get irritated.

According to studies, your eyes won't experience any long term harm due to pH levels if you open them underwater (Unless the water's pH or other chemicals extremely out of balance).  Although, water with levels of infectious bacteria may be something to worry about.  Exposure to infectious bacteria can lead to an eye infection.  We recommend wearing Google if you are swimming in a public pool, unknown pool or other unknown water.

The Best Pool Games for Kids' Parties!

 

There's no better way to end a school year than a pool party!!  It's a great way for the kids (and the parents) to enjoy the sun and outdoors.  That's why we've put together a list of some of the BEST pool party games out there!  Don't forget, all of these games require the watchful presence of an adult to ensure water safety.

Sharks and Minnows
One player is the Shark, while the rest of the group are the minnows.  While starting at different ends of the pools, the minnows have to try and get to the sharks side without getting heard.  If the shark hears even the smalls splash, they're unleashed into the water to tag the closest minnow.  The kid that gets tagged becomes the shark in the next round.

Marco Polo
One of the most popular pool games ever! One player is blindfolded and yells "Marco" and the rest of the group shouts back "Polo". The blindfolded player tries to listen for the polo and attempt to tag them.  The kid that is tagged becomes marco in the next round.

Musical Pool
Similar to Musical Chairs, you use rafts, floats or tubes.  All players start inside the pool swimming to music, with one less floatation device than the number of kids. Once the music stops kids need to grab a float to stay in! Kids are eliminated one by one.
