A beautiful garden not only makes a home aesthetically pleasing to look at but can also add value to a home. Maintaining a garden can be a chore that deters many, especially having to remember to go out and diligently water each and every corner of the garden to ensure everything gets the vital water it needs. Not only is watering an annoying task but it is often a wasteful task that sees much of the water evaporate or runoff before doing much good for the plants and flowers.

The soaker garden hose is made of recyclable materials and is designed to use 90% less water than hand watering. Although a few customers have questioned the true soaking ability of the Dramm Soaker Garden Hose, most users found it to be among the best soaker hoses on the market with high output that is efficient to boot.

The dog days of summer are often best spent relaxing in the cool, calm waters of a pool or lake. Not everyone has the fortune of living close enough to a lake, and not everyone has the finances to have an in-ground pool in their backyard. But many people can enjoy the refreshing water of an Intex above ground pool in their backyard, helping beat the heat in the summer. Nothing ruins a good day at the pool faster than dirty water though, which is why every pool needs an Intex Water Pump and Intex Filter Cartridges. As you know, clean up and maintenance are a necessary evil for pool owners everywhere.

The wind blows leaves, pollen, and other debris into our pools and can ruin any good swim with dirty water. The Intex Filter Cartridge works on all 500, 530, 800, 1000, and 1500 gallon per hour Intex filter pumps with model numbers 58603E, 56637E, 56637E, and 58623. While some customers have found that their Intex Filter Cartridges only work for a couple of weeks before replacement is need, the majority of customers have found their cartridges indispensable. Many have been able to use the same cartridge for several months with great success in keeping their pools clean and clear.
