Inground Liner Rehangs
Not sure if you should get a new liner this year or next? You might want to think about doing it this year. Liner prices will most likely go up about 10-15%, so by buying now you will be saving some pretty good money. As for installs, we can try and install it this year but we could also hold off until next spring if you would like. All that we ask for is a deposit in the amount of the liner. Once it is is ordered it CAN’T be cancelled but we will make sure to hold you a spot this year or next, depending on weather!! Stop in and see one of our great sales staff today and you might find a set of patio furniture or pool table you have been looking for!!
Time Flies!
As I was sitting at a family wedding recently, I started to think back to my wedding and couldn’t believe that Megan and I will be married for 10 years in August. A lot has changed in our lives since then, like moving from a 1 bedroom apartment to a 3 bedroom house in Anderson or probably the best thing that has happened is the birth our son Brady. Nothing better than being a parent!! We have enjoyed every minute of it!! He is now 17 months and walking everywhere. We find ourselves asking where time has gone!! Can the clock please slow down a little bit so he doesn’t grow up to fast?? Is it me or does each year seem to get faster and faster?? Next thing I will be writing about will be he has started school!! Kind of scary but also so much fun!! – Tim

Safety Cover Patches And Parts
Do you have small hole in your safety cover? If so we can help you out. We carry patch kits that will help from making that small hole into a giant one. The patches are made of the same material that your cover is. It is not recommended for patching anything over 3”. They come in Solid blue, green or green mesh. We also carry extra grommets and springs. We also carry the installation bar, which is used to take on and off the springs. Stop in and see us for any of your safety cover parts today. – Tim
Safety Covers
Although it is scorching hot right now, you might want to think about ordering that safety cover you have been putting off. This time of year our manufacturer is slammed, so your order could take up to 4-6 weeks, which if you order right now would put you into the end of August. If you wait another month or so we could be talking about the end of September before we would see it. And for some that may be too long!! So don’t waste anymore time and stop in to see us today!!
Hello Sports Fans!
All the O$U fans OK? If you want to see somebody in a sweater vest again, maybe we can get Max to wear one in the next commercial!!
Bengal fans, at least we can say we were undefeated if they don’t settle the labor issue!!!
And better yet, we won’t have to listen to Mike Brown or Marvin Lewis stumble thru news consferences.
Reds fans are you as frustrated at watching this team as me? Why does Chris Heisey continue to sit? Does Dusty have a crush on Fred Lewis and Johnny Gomes? Anybody else sick of seeing Homer Bailey and Edinson Volquez pitch? Good thing we play in a weak division or we would be 12 games out!!
Bearcat Fans, any chance Butch Jones gets his boys to play better? Brian Kelly sure didn’t leave him much when he left, but I think we are in for a good year. When is the last time 2 players were on a watch list for National Player of the Year??
Xavier fans, not sure what I could talk about with you guys. Do you even have any fall sports teams?
Love to hear from the sports fans, so drop a note!!

It’s Been A Year Already!
Last year around this time my wife and I were expecting our first kid and boy does time fly by!! On April 21st he will be 1 year old. We are enjoying every minute of it and can’t wait for all the joys of parenthood to continue. He got his looks and personality after his mom (thank god)!! As of this writing he has got crawling backward down, but still not going forward, but we think it will come soon. He loves to say Momma and loves Elmo and basketball. Of course daddy likes that a lot!! Before you know it I will be telling you he graduated High School!! Only if we could get time to stand still so I could enjoy being a parent even more!! – Tim
Showroom Changes
Stop in and see the new look to our showroom. We have taken out an island and made it more open for you to look at our spas. I think you will find our changes very refreshing. – Tim
My Favorite Team Not Going To Tournament Again!
I ro
ot really hard for my beloved Bearcats, as do many who work here. But once again it looks like we will be watching them in the NIT and not the Big Dance. I might be wrong but it sure doesn’t look good. The Big East is the best conference year in and year out, and anybody can beat each other on any given day. Lets hope the Cats can make a late season run with some upsets over Uconn, Louisville and Georgetown. Regardless if you like UC or not, at Eastgate Pools and Spas we have all the locals covered. Maybe you are a diehard Xavier fan in search of some barstools your friends can sit in to watch the game. How about that perfect Kentucky pub table that would look great in your UK themed basement. Stop in an purchase your set today and you can show it off for March Madness. – Tim
Fun Facts?
I was reading up on the history of pools and came across some fun facts. While I do not know if they are 100% true, I thought they were pretty interesting. So here are some that I found:
*The Titanic was one of the 1st ocean liners to have a swimming pool
*If your blonde hair turns green from chlorine, put some ketchup in it and it will balance out the pigments in your hair
*It is illegal to swim in Central Park
*Kangroos are excellent swimmers
Do you have some fun or interesting facts or myths?? Drop us a line and maybe you will see yours added to this list.

Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have never been this excited for Christmas. Of course my excitement is easily understood. My wife and I welcomed our first kid, Brady, into the world in April. We have been excited for many things he has done or is doing, but my excitement for his first Christmas is unmatched. Maybe this year won’t be great because he can’t remember a thing, but having him be a part of our family on this great day, will be something I never forget!! Of course with an addition, becomes new traditions. We are still trying to figure out what we will do, but I would love to hear about some of your traditions. Maybe your great tradtions will become ours as well. Hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday. – Tim
Winter Cover Pumps
Just a reminder to all that use an electronic cover pump to bring it in when we get our first freeze or snow of the year. Many people leave them out all year and forget to bring it in. Take the extra time and you could be saving yourself some money by storing it away until the weather breaks. Also, if you are in need of a cover pump, we have a great selection to choose from.
