20110259835Method for treating pool water containing high levels of isocyanuric acid and biological growth - A method for reducing an isocyanuric acid level concentration in swimming pool water to prevent chlorine lock. The method comprises the steps of adding an effective amount of sodium hydroxide combined with an antimicrobial agent to the pool water and reacting the sodium hydroxide with the isocyanuric acid therein to reduce the isocyanuric acid concentration to a level of between about 30 to 50 PPM. The antimicrobial agent reduces the amount of microorganisms that have accumulated in the pool water until the chlorine is released from its “locked-up” condition.10-27-2011

20080275780Sales Aid For Hot Tubs and Method of Selling - A sales aid for selling hot tubs comprising a full-size pattern of a selected hot tub model which is imaged on a flexible, lightweight carrier sheet or fabric such as a vinyl poly blend which is durable and easily transportable.

This arrangement causes the prospective purchaser to return to the store, at which time the sale is hopefully made, in accordance with the sales aid method of the invention.11-06-2008
