‘Staycations’ are here to stay….

Monday, August 23rd, 2010

- plan yours today with BonaVista LeisureScapes.

‘Staycation’ is now a word in the Oxford English Dictionary.

Staycation: a holiday spent in one’s home country rather than abroad, or one spent at home and involving day trips to local attractions. The term has just been released as one of Oxford English Dictionary’s new entries, affirming that ‘staycationing’ is no longer a trend, but a reality of today’s lifestyle.

BonaVista LeisureScapes, located in Toronto, specializes in staycations, offering customers everything they need to create a staycation in their own backyard, without ever leaving home!

“Our clients love the concept of a staycation, and with people wanting to fit in a summer holiday before the cool weather arrives, we have everything to warm-up your backyard space,” says Jennifer Gannon, Proprietor. “We’ve got patio heaters and fire features to make your end of summer party perfect.”

Even just a visit to BonaVista LeisureScape’s Toronto store provides customers with a virtual staycation. The store experience is the ultimate backyard oasis – essentially it is the virtual backyard, indoors! It has everything in the store from hot tubs, to BBQs, natural gas fire features (tables, pits and places), saunas, Kettal patio furniture and much more.

If a staycation is still on the agenda for this later summer or fall, BonaVista has everything you need to get started or to move your backyard from summer to fall. From lighting and décor to entertaining and fun for the whole family, BonaVista offers products and services to help your family achieve the ultimate staycation!

Pool & Hot Tub Water Chemistry

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

Tips for Getting Maximum Benefit from Your Dazzle™ Sanitizing Program:

  • - Maintain 1.0–3.0 ppm of chlorine or bromine.
  • - For your sanitizer to be most effective, your pH needs to be properly balanced!
  • - Bring a water sample to the store for expert analysis and recommendations.


Timing is Everything:

  • - Make sure you have adequate sanitizer levels on the weekends when people are most likely to be swimming!


Hot Tips on Water Temperature:

  • - For every 6°C rise in pool water temperature, you require 50% more sanitizer by weight.
  • - For example: As your pool water temperature goes from 10°C in the spring to 28°C mid-summer, you will likely need to add 4-6 sticks, instead of 2 chlorine sticks.
  • - Increase the number of sticks you place in your skimmer basket or chlorinator or turn up the dial on your automatic chlorinator.


The Secret to Getting Consistent Chlorine or Bromine Readings:

  • - When applying chlorine sticks through the skimmer, apply fewer sticks, more often.
  • - For example, adding 2 sticks twice a week is more effective than adding 4 sticks all at once.
  • - More consistent release of chlorine into the pool. Less wasteful.
  • - Use a visual reminder – replace chlorine when it is gone (this usually represents 2 additions per week).


Some Final Tips:

  • - Test your chlorine level often!
  • - Dazzle™ Amaze is a non-chlorine based shock treatment – it will not increase the chlorine residual in the pool water. If required re-establish the chlorine residual with Dazzle™ Ultra Shock, Amaze Plus, Energy or Lithium Pro Shock.
  • -Try to keep the application of chlorine-based shock treatments to a minimum to avoid a build-up of undesirable chlorinated by-products and liner fading.
  • - When the sanitizer residual is continuously kept at an acceptable level, Dazzle™ Amaze and UltraCleanse will do a great job of keeping the water healthy and clear?without having to add unnecessary levels of chemicals.

Deep Clean your Filter

Thursday, July 1st, 2010

Your filter not only picks up small particulate, it also collects oils, suntan lotions, calcium and metals. These clog your filter, reducing efficiency, affecting chemical  and electrical costs.

Deep clean your pool filter once a year and after an algae problem. Try Dazzle™ Filter Cleanse, an environmentally-friendly filter cleaning product (and the first pool care product to achieve EcoLogo certification!). Dazzle™ Filter Cleanse features a non-toxic, readily biodegradable formula that cleans your filter and digests the waste, leaving a clean solution to dispose of. This will bring your filter back to high performance – for greater efficiency, lower costs and clearer water.
