Inexpensive Swimming Pool Toys & Accessories for Fun Summer Vacations
Have you thought about summer vacation and what you are going to do with the kids? Most families are experiencing tighter than normal times with the economy the way it is so how can you still enjoy summer vacation with your kids? Imagine the cost of gas to just drive to a fairly close vacation spot. Crazy isn't it? One of the best ways I can think of for a fun summer vacation is to turn your backyard into this year's choice vacation spot.
Use your vacation week and the money you would have spent driving or flying to your vacation spot to create a fun backyard space for the whole family and save money along the way. There are several inexpensive Swimming Pools on the market today many under $300 that are easy to assemble quickly in your backyard. You just need to decide where the most level place is to put your swimming pool up.
Once you decide where to put your swimming pool, it's time to fill it up. When I was a kid living in Ohio, it didn't matter that the water was only 60 degrees we just wanted to swim! That's the same way it will be for your kids also. Just keep an eye on those blue lips.
Adding some fun swimming pool toys and floats will make your backyard oasis feel even more like a vacation. There are great floats that also double as snow tubes in the winter time so if you choose carefully, you'll get double the fun. Snow tubes are manufactured of durable vinyl with hand grips guaranteeing a great time summer or winter. Pool floats are great for the adults too. There are several pool floats available today that will hold 2 adults along with their drinks. Or try a fun island to float around the pool with your kids.
Some pool toys are battery operated and others are kid powered. Super Subbies available in animal shapes such as Squiddy and Manty or as Magical Mermaids use 2 AA batteries for hours of fun. These little guys have random motion technology so you never know where they'll go next. Dive N Rise Torpedo Sharks and Dolphins are kid powered. Your child tosses them into the pool and they surface just like a shark or dolphin. The Glow in the Dark Shark is great for day or night play. All of these pool toys retail less than $10 which is very important to guarantee fun while not breaking the bank. These toys are great dog toys too!
New for 2008 is Scoobarang which is the world's only underwater boomerang. How cool is this toy? This pool toy is made of soft vinyl for safety and boomerangs back to the thrower. It can also be used to skip on top of the water or as part of a game to see who can catch the boomerang the most.
Once you have gotten the kids set up with their fun stuff, how about some great accessories to make life easy for you? An awesome must-have backyard accessory is the 5 Piece Table Set that you place in your pool. This allows you to create your own swim-up bar just like those expensive all-inclusive resorts. Enjoy a cold drink while relaxing in your pool.
Windy day? Use Boca Clips to keep those towels on the chairs. Crafted in adorable animal shapes, these towel clips hold the towel on the back of the chair so you won't have to chase your towels anymore. Tired of picking up towels? Pool And Spa towel holder to the rescue. Simply place this adjustable towel holder near your back door and your kids will automatically hang up their towels as they're heading in. Accessory tray can also hold goggles, sun block, and more in one easy to find place and it retails less than $50.
You really don't have to spend several thousand dollars to enjoy a fun, family vacation. Everything mentioned above can be in your backyard for less than $600. The best part? You'll be able to enjoy your "vacation" all summer long.

I have just set up an easy set pool from intex, I have no clue where to start with chemicals. Please help!?
I'm ready to put the pool up but I want to make sure I have the correct chemicals to put into it. It holds about 3700 gallons of water, 15ft but 48 inches. Also need to know how often to check the water and where to go after this. Any help is much appreciated.
am on my second year with my intex pool. For the most part last year was a horrible experience I could never get the pool to get clear. If it didn't have algae it had a white powder substance on the bottom. I went over the idea of getting a bigger pump. But towards the end of summer a friend of mine passed along her experience and knowledge. You actually do not need a bigger pump. Here are tips for beautiful water in your pool. Use 2 oz per day of instant shock 3 oz when hot. Make sure it is a dissolvable shock. When you put it in the pool it should look like water going in. I can't emphasize enough how it must be completely dissolved. I just put the 2 oz of powder insta shock in a jug add about 1/2 gal hot water let it dissolve and dump it in. Then every 2 days put in 2 oz of liquid Algaecide increase to daily when hot. You will need a bottle of PH minus (you can buy this at walmart and it is powder form that dissolve nicely) on hand for those days when you test your water and the ph is high. (usually when it rains) Get yourself on of those little test kits and test your water daily. NOT test strips. Do not buy your Insta Shock or Algaecide at Wal Mart go to your local pool store. Tell them you need insta shock that will dissolve completely. Never dump any Shock or Algaecide in your pool that are not liquid form or dissolved. You will get a powder substance on the bottom of your pool that will take days to get out. As far as the filter goes, the first week I used 2 filters. I would take one out clean it let it dry then switch them. Now I have used a new filter every 2 weeks. I just take my filter out, hose it off and put it back in. I have had my pool up for a month now and it has been crystal clear! If you do have algae in the pool or notice a white dust cloud when you go to vacuum DO NOT run this through the filter because it will not catch it and it will go right back into the pool. Simply put the vacuum in the pool with the hose emptying onto the ground. This might take a few days to get rid of whatever you may have at the bottom of the pool but it is the only way to get it out completely. I hope this helps. Trust me if you follow this it will make your pool enjoyable and not such a pain. Total cost of chemicals monthly is about $30.00 for me. Oh yea my pool is a 6000 gal. I could email pictures if you want. You will be amazed. I know I am!!
