Best Pool Safety Products

Find Best Price at Amazon"In a Winter setting, residual water in the hose can freeze up, causing the pump to continuously pump against a wall of ice. This will not only keep your pump from removing water from your cover, but it will eventually burn out your pump. They tell you that it pumps 1800 gallons per hour, but you have to look closer to realize that you need a 1 foot long, 1" OD hose to make that happen and your average garden hose is 3/4" OD."
"Rain, snow, sleet, this thing works without skipping a beat. The only thing I do not like about it is that it does not start automatically when I leave it plug in as the rain accumulate over time on top of my pool safety cover."
"This pump is heavier than I would have expected for something that is going to rest on a vinyl swimming pool cover all winter, but it sure works as advertised."
"I'm using this in my intex pool to help drain the water under the drain plug and it worked great."
"The pool guy let me use his to pump off the water on the cover prior to opening as the Rule pump had died on me after 2 years (second one !"
"We live in Washington state so you can imagine the water that accumulates on my pool cover."
"Its great not having to worry about turning it on."
"It's better quality, pumps quicker and never clogs."

"So I really didn't think this thing would work, but I put it in anyway, apparently the frogs think it's a pool party now and have invited all there friends, so I ordered another!"
"I used rocks in the compartment instead of sand since near the pool."
"I had to try this to save the poor frogs and toads that ended up dead in our pool."
"I added an in-ground pool in the summer of 2012, and a recurring problem was fishing out various creatures. We're in a pretty heavily wooded area, and although the surrounding fence keeps out larger animals, I would regularly fish out salamanders, frogs, and mice."
"Had tired of dead frog removal and free floating items failed to help."
"It was so sad and I felt so bad that I really didn't find any pleasure in swimming in my pool. I bought 3 of them about a month ago, spaced them out around my pool and no more dead chipmunks!"
The cover’s black underside retards algae growth and heat sealed seams means a crystal clear pool next spring. Dirt Defender covers are held secure with a heavy duty cable and winch tightener that is anchored by rip proof metal grommets. Heavy duty cable and winch tightener included.

"I was careful when I covered the pool (it is thin but I throw mine away each year)."
"Cover has a nice weight to it, but I could not get it to tighten well enough around the pool to keep the wind from tearing it off."
"This really does help catch the excess leaves and debris that always seems to gather on top of my pool."
"I used this last year and bought another for this year."
"I can't say anyone really loves a pool cover."
"Better than most of the low end covers."
"You would think it would be a better product and since it is 8 year warranty and it didn't even last 2 complete years that would only be 25% deduction giving us 75% credit!"

Find Best Price at Amazon"The first test was the first night we had it and I simply "stomped" the water with my foot on the far side of the pool and within 10-15 seconds when the ripple reach the alarm, it activated. Unless your pool deck surface is really uneven, I wouldn't bother adding a hole, the little metal brace unscrews easily. It can be hard to sit the alarm into the pool or remove it without it going off and as other reviewers have noted, the instructions aren't clear."
"Great pool alarm."
"Lightening struck pool and it alarmed but is still working."
"After swimming, the water usually takes about 20 minutes to be calm enough to set the alarm back in."
"Works well but each one only seems to last a few years."
"I couldn't get the false alarms to stop."
"The pool guard does a good job."
"Bought this with high hopes of adding an extra layer of protection but it's too sensitive."

"Item is as described and very nice."
"easy to install - no concrete modifications, just use hammer drill into the concrete deck."
"Works great if installed correctly and you buy it a great price."
"I make these comments about improvements and try to remind myself that we're talking about a relatively inexpensive rail to begin with. The upside is, it has allowed my folks to once again use their swimming pool this summer and, for that I am grateful."
"Construction of hand rail seems thin."
"YouTube was a big help in giving the instructions needed to install the rail."
"I was tempted to install using metal anchors rather than the plastic anchors provided, but at the last minute I decided to try those included."

"We wanted to post some basic rules on our pool as we have a guest-house an often have people staying that use our pool without us present."
"Exactly what I needed to post on the privacy fence of our pool and large enough to be seen around the entire pool."
"Seems to be good quality and a durable product, mounted this outside on our shed and it has held up to the weather so far."
"Plastic sign for the pool area, gets the word out."
"Purchased for my pool deck to remind some guests of basic rules but it doesn't say "no peeing" so I'll still need to get another sign."

"Works great fixed holders to take on and off the pool !!"
"About the reviews stating that this is "basically an overpriced piece of bubblewrap" and that "it just covers the water".... What did you expect? Yes, pool solar covers are basically an "overpriced piece of bubblewrap" that "just covers the water"."
"I prefer it to the regular cover because even though our regular cover has drainage holes, it always sank into the pool when the sprinklers ran."
"This was the second pool cover we purchased."
"great product at the right price the quality is better than most solar covers and has a so cloth edging that helps secure naturally to the swim pool sides an amazing job love it thank you Amazon & Intex for making your product stand out and stand out loud and proud, my pool stays at 80° or higher looking forward to a longer guaranteed swim season as always."
"We have a 15' Above ground Octagon/Round pool."
"Had a solar cover for our pool growing up, so after buying a pool for the kids it was the first thing I looked for."

Find Best Price at Amazon"As a Marketing Director for Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Valley Partners, I've shared these with top real estate agents to use with their listing/ sales signs to keep getting attention long after dark! As a Real Estate agent, myself, I will add these to our "settlement gift baskets" for new home owners."
"After doing a lot of research on solar lights I went ahead and purchased 3 sets of these lights which arrived last week to my home."
"We have ordered both the regular white ones and a lot of the color-changing ones to use as decorative accent lighting along our backyard fence and to highlight our trees and bushes, and our pond at night as well."
"Please buy these."
"The other one works fine. The lights work just fine."
"I use the spotlights for a kneeling Marine/Soldier statue that is located in front of my flagpole and the other one for the flag."
"I've ordered 28 of these solar lights over the last year to light my landscaping and am very satisfied with the lighting power, soft white color, and hours of illumination. I brought my lights in, directed them up into my lampshades and made a chandelier over the table."
"I'm only ashamed that I didn't purchase these sooner and wasted money on other cheap lighting."

"Spent time with a multitool, grinding out bits-and-pieces of the old sealant and debris, then filled the gap to 1/4" - 1/2" from the top with pea gravel and sand and tamped it down."
"This worked great - with one caveat - don't apply on a windy day if you have nearby tree cover, we had a few bits from the local cedars get in ours, plus a skink got stuck running thru."
"This was the product used on my pool originally and it needed to be replaced."
"Our first winter, we lost a bunch of tiles due to water freezing in the expansion joint and some online research led me to deck-o-seal. I definitely recommend backer rod if your expansion joint isn't nice and uniform and relatively shallow - I had many large gaps that took a decent amount of backer rod and would have been a huge pain to fill with this sealant. If you're messy like me you'll need a whole lot of them. I cut most of the nozzle off for a bigger hole because the joint I was filling was large. In a lot of spots, the thick sealant gradually flowed around the backer rod, leaving what looked like a backer rod that had been dipped in sealant and placed in the joint. I had to go over many of these spots several times with about 10 minutes in between to get it to look right and set up flush between the deck and coping instead of curved around the backer rod."
"I purchased two kits - mixed them exactly the same."
"Very good product."

"The debris come out of the full basket much easier when they're dry, so I wait a day to dump the full basket."
"My original Hayward basket lasted for many years, when if finally cracked, I went to Leslie Pool and bought one of theirs."
"Ordered based upon product number etched into disintegrating basket."
"Fits the skimmer opening perfectly and does not float up."
"The handle snaps out occasionally and I personally can keep track of it and put the handle back in, but the company that opens and closes the pool lost the brand new handle to the brand new basket that I bought last summer....to replace the basket that had a missing handle."
"The basket I got was blue instead of white but other than that this basket fits in my skimmer perfectly."
"When I picked the old basket out of the skimmer it broke in half LOL."

Bonus for parents - the climb tires kiddos out so bed time is no struggle. There's also plenty of space for parents to relax in the pool area to escape the heat. There's noise but it's not terrible - about as noisy as my neighbor's air conditioning unit."
"We've had it for 6 years now and we've gotten an abundance of summer fun out of it."
"This is a HUGE hit with my son and his friends."
"I picked this up on clearance from a big box store and am so glad we did."

Find Best Price at Amazon"However, here are some items to note: the "delicate" housing unit should be handled with care; better zippers are needed so be careful not to strip them, place a towel on the floor inside as water pools on the floor, very light-weight plastic tubing with easy setup (although some are ill-fitting, need coaxing), foot massager was awful with a heavy sticky resin and some splintered wood, and as noted in other reviews, the chair is too small. For the price, it will certainly get the job done and was a good value for the housing unit and steamer."
"Only thing I don't like is the new plastic smell--I would suggest letting the tent air out if you plan to sit fully inside."
"Very convenient and totally budget friendly!"
"Flimsy structure."
"Very happy with this product."
"Great purchase!"
"it works great.. the chair is trash though.. im only 170 lbs and it broke on me after 1 use."
"Like others have said, the 2 curved bars in the front are too long and the jacket part will not zip up."
