			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>April 19th 2012 &#8211; Los Angeles<br />
<a href="http://arthurspools.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/odyssenight.jpg"><img src="http://arthurspools.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/odyssenight.jpg" alt="" title="odyssenight" width="381" height="209" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-633" /></a></p>
<p>What before today was an impossibility has become a reality.  This pool company  in the past has made movable portable pools as large as 50ft x 100ft (15.95m x 30.4m) but this is the first time they have broken the one hundred barrier to make an olymic size pool. 82ft x 164ft  (25m x 50m). This pool has already found interest from swim schools and swim teams who are trying to establish a facility for their competitions without putting out a lot of capital and dealing with the many regulations that are involved with and in ground pools. The added benefit that these pools can be moved without damage adds to their allure. Currently the depth limit is 1.32 meters which is slightly shallower than an inground version and while that limites its use for water polo and other activities, swimming is still an option with these pools.</p>
<p>Arthurs Above Ground Pools has proven to be a capable partner for the US swim team, providing warm up pools and promotional pools in the past to the team, now for the first time complete evenst can be held in their pools.  See more at: http://www.arthurspools.com </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><span style="font-size: x-small;">Checklist for Pool Cleaning </span></strong><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small;">Keeping your pool clean can be made easier by following a regular schedule. If you decide to do it yourself, a good checklist to follow for regular pool care is:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small;">1.   Use a small hand-held leaf skimmer to help in cleaning the pool.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small;">2.   Clean the strainer baskets in the skimmer and pump.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small;">3.   Clean  walls; tile is best cleaned with a soft brush  . The clearing of pool walls will depend on your surface: cement, vinyl or fiberglass. Follow manufacturers&#8217; suggested procedures.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small;">4.   Vacuum the pool at least once a week. Or Use an Automatic Pool Cleaner</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small;">5.   Test the water frequently and add chemicals if necessary, follow manufacturers&#8217; directions.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small;">6.   If water turns cloudy, test for chemical balance; if necessary, backwash and service the filter.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: xx-small;">9. DO NOT let your pool go. Bringing a pool back from the pit of neglect is a horrible process. If you are in danger of this happening, invest in an automatic system</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Los Angeles California &#8211; For Immediate Release<br />
Arthur&#8217;s Pools Announces:<br />
<img class="alignleft" src="http://www.arthurspools.com/images/littledogpools.jpg" alt="Little Dog Pools" width="247" height="171" />Above ground pools for little dogs are now available. Exercise and contain-ability of a small dog in a large pool is a concern for many small breed owners,  the people at <a href="http://www.arthurspools.com">Arthur&#8217;s Pools</a> have answered this dilemma by developing a special pool for small breed dogs. As you know the smaller canines are especially favored by their owners who are not above pampering their pets. And a personal sized swimming pool for a Yorkshire terrier or chihuahua may be the answer to how little energetic dogs can  expend unwanted energy.</p>
<p>We have been learning that a lot of dog behavioral problems can be linked to excess energy. and that exercise is the best solution for all that pent up negative energy. Many of the little dogs do not get the exercises they require as they tend to be pampered and their owners are far to busy to take an hour out of their day each day to walk them. &#8220;In a short 15 minutes a dog can expend as much energy exercising  in a pool as an hour long walk&#8221;, according to Dr Cecil Peterson of the Peterson Veterinarian clinic in Orange county.</p>
<p>Above Ground Pools for dogs is a growing trend among many pet owners, and also in dog day cares scattered around the country.  Dog professionals find that the animals enjoy swimming in above ground pools and behavior improves as energy is expended. Dogs, it seems, even the little ones need their exercise and as with humans  swimming is the perfect exercise. Not all dogs take to the water, but the ones that do see an improvement in their life. No with the release of these little dog pools, even the smallest varieties of man&#8217;s best friend can get in their daily swim.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Q. After 15 years I  had little holes appear about a foot off the ground on my steel walled pool</p>
<p>and it is leaking all over the pool at that height. I have a sand base.</p>
<p>A. What Happened?</p>
<p>Here is what happen.  When you originally put sand in the pool.  The light pebbles floated up in the air and landed on the wall.  The wall was not wiped down. The sand pepples over time pierced your liner from the pressure of water against the liner and water flowed out in small amounts and rusted the steel wall right at the small diameter hole.  The pH. in water tilted too low causing acidity  conditions and rusted out your wall. You will need a new liner a new wall and remove the sand and add comfy bottom instead.  That will sure your problem.  This  answer provided by the experts at Arthurs Pools.</p>
<p><div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 702px"><img alt="" src="http://www.arthurspools.com/accessories/hb.jpg" title="Comfy Pad and Cove" width="692" height="528" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Comfy Pad and Cove</p></div><br />
We recommend using comfy bottom to keep this from occuring. Get rid of the sand all together, no more lumps and bumps in the bottom of your above ground pools</p>
<p>Arthur&#8217;s Comfy Bottom Pool Pad Will Protect your liner for years. Made from a special high density polyethylene foam, Arthur&#8217;s Comfy Bottom Pool Pad acts as a  barrier to keep  water away from metal components, reducing rust and corrosion. In addition, by adding a layer of protection between your pool liner and the ground you had puncture protection and heat retention. </p>
<p>Arthur&#8217;s Comfy Bottom Pool Pad is easy to install. First, roll out sections of pad and cut them one foot longer than the (biggest if oval) dimension of the pool. Next, seam enough 4 ft. wide sections together with tape to cover the (smaller if oval) dimension of the pool. Trim off excess pad material after pool has been filled.</p>
