PcPools Rides Wave of Large Increase in Above Ground Pool Demand
PcPools confirms sales increase of 20% in new above ground pool owners.
St. Paul, MN- March 01, 2008 - The above ground pool industry has stayed at a marginal growth rate for several years. In 2007, however, the demand for above ground pools increased nearly 20% compared to 2006. The increase in demand proved highly beneficial for PcPools, as sales increased 25% for its above ground pools.
Marketing Director Ted Robinson had this to say, “Demand is clearly on the upswing in the above ground pool market. As gas prices increase, more homeowners realize that having a pool in their backyard proves cheaper than taking a yearly family vacation or driving to a family cabin every weekend. Rather than spending thousands of dollars taking expensive short trips or hundreds of thousands on a vacation home, more and more families are bringing the “family vacation” to their backyard. In addition, due to the cost savings of an above ground swimming pool versus an in ground swimming pool makes the decision economically easier also. Surprisingly, the cost of an above ground pool is about the same or slightly less than a week long vacation for a family of four. An above ground pool is a great way to provide a terrific family activity at a more affordable price than most in ground swimming pools.” Given the increase in quality of the above ground pool market, continued high gasoline prices and the rise in vacation home prices, Robinson expects the trend to continue for the several years.

PcPools Announces Solar Sun Ring Product Line
PcPOOLS to Sell Solar Sun Ring for In ground and Above Ground Pools
St. Paul/Minneapolis, MN - PcPOOLS is one of America's leading direct marketers of above ground pools and pool supplies for residential and commercial pool owners announces a new "green" product line for Spring 2008. PcPools will be selling a Solar Sun Rings for all style of in ground and above ground pools. These heavy duty Solar Sun Rings will be offered in the spring of 2008. The Solar Sun Ring is a passive solar swimming pool heating device made from two sheets of heavyweight U.V. resistant vinyl. The upper clear layer holds insulating air and focuses sunlight on the blue colored layer. The blue colored layer absorbs about 50% of the sunlight and converts it to heat. The balance of the sunlight is allowed to pass through for deep water heating. In an ongoing test at the National Pool Industry Research Center at California Polytechnic University, during summer months Solar Sun Rings proved a total heat input to the test pools of up to 21,000 BTU's per day for each unit. Structurally, there is no stronger design of solar sun rings on the market today. Solar Sun Rings where designed to do everything that a solar pool cover can do but without the hassle of lugging on and off that big wet solar pool cover. The rings are 5' in diameter and float on top of the pool's surface allowing solar energy to pass through them and into your pool. At night the air bubbles in each solar ring insulate the water keeping your pool warm while they reduce evaporation.
Marketing Director Ted Robinson had this to say about the newest addition to the PcPools inventory, "While we have always strived to maintain the premier selection of above ground pools and swimming pool supplies, additions to PcPools ever expanding product line continue based on the current trends and demands from consumers. Our customers are demanding "green" products that hopefully save money. Solar Sun Rings qualify because:
- They provide solar heating of pool water during the day;
- Thermal blanket effect of retaining heat in the pool water at night;
- Reduce evaporation of pool water; and,
- Reduce evaporation of pool chemicals.
The cost of pool ownership is rising. Pool owners are spending more money heating their pools. We, at PcPools, are working hard to find products that keep pool ownership and maintenance affordable for our customers. With an increase in energy costs more people are switching from traditional heaters to exclusively using solar energy. The Solar Sun Rings are designed to connect with each other so that maximum solar heat is channeled through "free" solar power. Moreover, Solar Sun Rings come with the added benefit of easy break part connectors to help prevent entrapment on an accidental fall into the pool. Solar Sun Rings are manufactured by Solarsunrings.com.

PcPools Announces 10 Steps to Get Children Swimming
PcPools releases 10 Steps to get children swimming for new and current pool owners
St. Paul/Minneapolis, MN - PcPOOLS one of America's leading direct marketers of above ground pools and pool supplies for residential and commercial pool owners announces a 10 step list to get children swimming. PcPools takes swimming pool safety very seriously and having children become good swimmers is a one way to improve pool safety.
Marketing Director Ted Robinson had this to say, "Few activities provide more summertime enjoyment than swimming in a back yard pool. There is no better way to cool down on a hot summer day than a cool dip in a swimming pool. However, we also recognize that playing around any body of water can be dangerous especially for younger non-swimmers. Studies have shown that the earlier in life kids begin the easier it is to teach them to swim. Three to five years of age is the best time to begin swimming lessons. With summer around the corner, PcPools would like to encourage parents to teach their children to swim with these 10 tips.
- Take lessons from certified swimming instructors. Do not teach the child yourself. Get lessons at the YMCA or a city pool or community recreation center.
- Choose the right teacher. You can rely on most certified swimming instructors to be competent but it never hurts to interview them. Ask them where they were trained, how long they have been teaching and their approach. Try and choose an instructor that best fits their child's personality. Make sure that all kids above the age of 4 attend a certified swimming class or at least learn basic flotation techniques.
- Start Early. The sooner the child starts the more comfortable they will be in an around the water. Many YMCAs and recreational city pools offer parent-tot classes beginning as early as 6 months of age. Individual lessons generally start around age 3.
- Make sure the child is well rested. Studies demonstrate that children who are well rested are more apt to learn than if they are tired and stressed. Make sure your child behaves appropriately. What they learn in swimming class may very well save their life.
- Expose children to water early. Obviously under strict supervision, expose your child to pools, beaches, lakes and let them enjoy themselves around the water. The more experience they have with water the more comfortable they will become.
- Practice swimming year around. Just like everything else, children's skill levels drop when they are not doing the activity. Try and find a pool open in the winter to polish their swimming skills they learned. The more they swim the better they become.
- Be a good role model. Be a safe swimmer yourself. If parents are fearful or careless around water their children will pick up on those traits. If you are not a strong swimmer yourself, enroll in swimming lessons along side your child.
- Explain the benefits of swimming. Tell your child why learning to swim is important. Swimming is good physical exercise, it can be a lifesaver and it is a whole lot of fun.
- Be knowledgeable to help with common mistakes. A parent should strive to know enough about swimming to gently point out common mistakes that young swimmers make. You do not want to have bad habits reinforced away from the watchful eye of a swimming instructor.
- Reward success. Find a reward system that works for you child when they achieve certain swimming goals.
Robinson further points out that "learning to swim is never a substitute for watching what your kids are up to in and around the pool and always supervise their pool activities. Never leave them alone around the pool even for one second."

PcPools Announces New Aluminum Above Ground Pools
PcPOOLS to Sell 100% Aluminum Bermuda Above Ground Pools
St. Paul/Minneapolis, MN - PcPOOLS is one of America's leading direct marketers of above ground pools and pool supplies for residential and commercial pool owners announces a new above ground pool product line for Spring 2008. PcPools will now be selling 100% aluminum above ground pools. These high quality aluminum above ground pools will be sold under the Bermuda model name in 24' and 28' round and 15' X 30' and 18 X 33' oval models with 54" wall heights and are manufactured by Sharkline Pools of Long Island, NY.
Marketing Director Ted Robinson had this to say about the newest addition to the PcPools above ground pools, "More and more new or existing pool owners are looking for an upgrade from the traditional steel or resin above ground pool. When considering material choices for an above ground pool, 100% extruded aluminum is the clear winner. Above ground swimming pools made of extruded aluminum are the best choice for value, strength, and long-lasting enjoyment. First and foremost, aluminum is 100% resistant to corrosion, the worst enemy of any above ground pool. The combination of soil, minerals, water, and pool chemicals can be hard on other pool construction materials. Because of its chemical composition, aluminum stands up to these tough conditions. The pool industry is not the only industry utilizing aluminum's superior qualities. For years, the airline, automotive, and construction industries all turn to aluminum when they need a safe, long lasting material that can withstand the elements. The above ground pool industry has now fallen in line."
Each of PcPools Bermuda aluminum above ground pools come complete with a 25 gauge pool liner and pool skimmer. Additional pool equipment such as pool pumps, pool filters, pool heaters and pool covers are purchased separately and can all be found at Pcpools.com

PcPools Announces Tips for Safe Online Shopping
PcPools advises its customers on ways to limit exposure to on-line fraud.
St. Paul, MN - PcPOOLS is one of America's leading direct marketers of
above ground pools and pool supplies for residential and commercial pool owners announces
tips for its online customers to limit their vulnerability to scams and fake e-commerce sites.
Over the last ten years, online shopping has clearly become significantly safer. However,
some consumers are still missing out on the ease of the internet to hunt for sales, avoid the
crowds and high prices of most retail stores because of a concern about making purchases over
the internet. PcPools encourages the utilization of a few basic tools to give its customers
and potential customers the comfort they need to feel safe with PcPools. Unfortunately,
some disreputable online retailers do use the internet in an attempt to defraud customers
either intentionally or because of poor business practices. Just like in the "brick and mortar"
world some retailers do not provide the same level of customer service. While buying from
reputable internet retailers is safe, consumers do need to stay alert when visiting auction
and classified-ad websites where a lot of fraudulent activity takes place. With a little
research and a few basic tools online shoppers can really limit their exposure to scams,
fake e-commerce sites and on-line retailers who do not employ good customer service practices as a priority.
PcPools Marketing Director Ted Robinson had this to say, "We clearly benefit from the growth
of online sales. Unscrupulous on-line merchants hurt all of the reputable on-line merchants
like PcPools. We value our customers and their complete experience when shopping at PcPools.
Robinson states five simple tips for online customers:
- Protect your own computer. Generally that means having up to date
versions of firewall, anti-virus and anti-spyware software.
- Determine if the on-line store is legitimate. Before buying from
any on-line retailer you have never heard of, find out as much as you can.
Look for a physical business address, telephone number or email address.
If you are unsatisfied call the telephone number listed on the website.
Chances are that alone will tell you about the companies commitment to customer
service and give you comfort knowing there is a customer service agent willing to
help if you run into any difficulty. Or better yet, look for the Better Business
Bureau's Online Seal. The BBB On-Line Reliability Seal assures potential customers
that the online merchant:
- Makes a commitment to high level of ethical business practices and customer satisfaction
- Has been in and maintained ethical business practices for more than 1 year
- Is a member of and has a good record with the Better Business Bureau
- Respects the privacy and email preference of visitors to its site
- Is committed to work with its customers and the BBB to resolve potential disputes.
- Consumers should check to see if the website has third part
certification by on-line security companies. Companies like Verisign,
HackerSafe and Buysafe all provide additional security to online purchasers.
Here at PcPools, these third party certifications are not merely atheistic.
We strive to provide our pool supply customers confidence and security in making an
online purchase with PcPools. Due to some internet horror stories, some consumers
are still reluctant to make an online purchase. PcPools, through its alliances with
Verisign, Hacker Safe, BuySafe, Paypal and Authorize.net demonstrates our commitment
to giving our pool supply customers increased confidence, security and
reliability in dealing with PcPools. It is clear, that our customers comfort
level with PcPools has increased because of our affiliation with these trusted
third-party certification companies. With these third party certifications,
PcPools intends to be considered an even more safe and reliable place to buy above
ground swimming pools and pool supplies.
- Avoid "crazy" low pricing. Remember the old adage... if it is too
good to be true it probably is. Auction and classified ad sites are some of the
riskiest place to shop online. Complaints about general merchandise sites were
the number one grievance received about alleged internet fraud according to the National
Consumers League. Consumers need to shop for price AND seller. If the seller has poor
customer service or a lousy record with the manufacturer the low price is NEVER worth it.
- Never provide your bank account number or credit card number in response to
an email about a transaction. Rather than clicking on the link call the number
on the website to make sure it is coming from the online merchant and not a "phishing" request.

About Jandy®
With dedicated management and support teams and our complete line of products, the Jandy®

cleaner, founded Jandy Industries. Around that same time, Los Angeles-based inventor Avy Miller
revolutionized pool heater design and started a company called Laars. The Teledyne Corporation,
seeking to expand into new markets, purchased Laars in 1966, Jandy Industries in 1996 and Olympic
in 1999, becoming Teledyne Laars Jandy Products. After years of innovation the company has formed
a highly efficient, economically priced heat pump. Running solely on electricity, the Jandy®
Air EnergyTM heat pump is the future of in ground pool heating.

PcPools Rides Wave of Increase in Above Ground Pool Demand
PcPools confirms demand increased 20% in new above ground pool owners, as "staycations" increase.
St. Paul, MN - PcPOOLS, one of America's leading
direct marketers of above ground pools and pool supplies for residential and commercial
pool owners announces increased above ground pool purchases for early Spring 2008.
With rising gas prices, Americans are taking fewer family vacations than ever before.
One way families are coping with rising gas prices is to bring the family summer vacation home.
Stay-at- home vacations, or "staycations" are becoming more and more popular with families.
With steel, resin and aluminum prices rising, this may be the best time to buy a new
above ground pool.
Accordingly, owning a quality above ground pool has not only become increasingly more affordable for
families, it has now become a financially intelligent decision as well.
The above ground pool industry has enjoyed marginal growth rate for the last several years.
In 2007, however, the demand for above ground pools increased nearly 20% compared to 2006.
The increase in demand proved highly beneficial for PcPools, as sales increased an additional
25% for its above ground pools in 2008.
Marketing Director Ted Robinson had this to say, "Demand is clearly on the upswing in the above
ground pool market. As gas prices increase, more homeowners realize that having an above ground
pool in their backyard proves cheaper than taking a yearly family summer vacation or driving to a
family cabin every weekend. Rather than spending thousands of dollars taking expensive short trips
or hundreds of thousands on a vacation home, more and more families are bringing the "family vacation"
to their backyard with an in ground or above ground pool. The new ‘it' word in American family
economic planning is "staycations". This is the trend of families spending their vacation dollars
on improving their homes, usually their backyards, as a more cost effective way of improving the
quality time with their families. Surprisingly, the cost of an above ground pool is about the same
or slightly less than a week long vacation for a family of four. For the same investment as a one-time
family vacation with a pool in your backyard, you have a wonderful vacation every week all summer long."
Given the increase in the quality of an above ground pool, continued high gas prices and the rise
in vacation home prices, Robinson expects the trend to continue for years to come.

PcPools Announces New Pool Safety Checklist
PcPools releases pool safety checklist for new and current pool owners
St. Paul/Minneapolis, MN - PcPOOLS is one of America's
leading direct marketers of above ground pools and pool supplies for residential and
commercial pool owners announces a new pool safety checklist. PcPools takes swimming
pool safety very seriously, selling a range of pool safety products.
Marketing Director Ted Robinson had this to say about pool safety, "Pool safety is something
that sometimes can be overlooked by many new and current pool owners. However, pool safety
should be taken very seriously. We at PcPools, have put together a checklist for swimming pool
owners to look at prior to enjoying a safe swimming season.
- Never allow your youngster to swim alone without any adult supervision. It is quite common
to develop a cramp underwater, or for accidents like hitting your head while diving for example,
to occur. It is paramount that there should be persons around to help in such situations.
- Do not allow children with no knowledge of swimming in or around the pool. For good pool
safety make sure that all kids above the age of 4 attend a certified swimming class,
or at least learn basic flotation techniques and life saving techniques in
case of accidents. Children should always be accompanied by their parents
in the pool.
- Enclose your pool with high fences,
which can be locked. Do not leave the pool open
and accessible since children can fall inside. Keep your pool safe, and keep your kids
away from the poolside.
- Avoid leaving your kids alone even with small portable pools or water bodies like buckets, fountains,
and barrels. There is always a danger of drowning occurring even in small bodies of water.
- In case of a backyard swimming pool, make sure that the
pool cover is completely lifted off the
pool. Do not partially open the pool. Also make sure that your child does not walk over the pool cover.
- Spas and Hot Tubs must also be avoided, especially in the case of younger children
who are susceptible to overheating.
- For good pool safety,
you can make sure that there is always a life
saving flotation device handy near the pool. Also, every parent should be
knowlegable in basic CPR techniques in case of any accident.
- Last, but not the least, to ensure swimming pool safety, be observant.
Watch what your kids are up to, and supervise their activities. Never leave
them alone even for one second.

PcPools Rides Large "Green" Wave Increase Sales of Solar Pool Products
PcPools confirms 75% sales increase in solar pool products due to escalating gas heating costs
St. Paul, MN - While the pool industry in general has only enjoyed a marginal growth rate the sale of solar pool products has risen dramatically in 2008. Pcpools confirms that the demand for its solar pool products has increased over 75% compared to 2007. The increase in demand for solar pool products has been a bright spot for PcPools, a leading direct marketer of pool supplies.
Marketing Director Ted Robinson had this to say, "Demand is clearly on the upswing for solar pool products. As utility prices continue to increase and more homeowners try to be more environmentally conscious, solar pool products are an obvious solution. With the improvement in the manufacturing and technological advancement, solar pool products have really been a great improvement in pool owners' enjoyment of their backyard swimming pools. PcPools sells solar pool products for both above ground and in ground pools. Consumers are buying solar pool heaters, solar pool covers and reels and solar lights as fast as we can bring them to market. Not only are these pool products saving pool owners in utility costs of owning a pool they are reducing everyone's "carbon foot print". This is really a "win/win" for the pool owner and the environment. In addition, due to the potential cost savings, it is not uncommon for the solar pool products to pay for themselves through decreased utility expenses." Given the likely continued high utility costs, Robinson expects the trend to continue for the foreseeable future.
