Card on Guard
Card On Guard is a flat, lightweight, unplugged solar cell that keeps water clear and helps users cut down on chemicals by a minimum of 50 percent. This is accomplished through light conversion technology, by which Card On Guard captures, retains and reemits light energy in the form of photons. That energy is magnified to split water molecules, which form low levels of free radicals that weaken and inhibit reproduction of bacteria and fungi.

Eco Pool Drain
The patent-pending Eco Pool Drain provides an environmentally friendly, economical, easy-to-install way to lower a pool's water level and dispose of backwash water. With the EPC, excess water is sprayed into the air, like a fountain, which is then gently absorbed into the soil without erosion or penetrating waterways. The device then self-drains as to avoid attracting insects or rodents. The Eco Pool Drain is tough, time-tested and tranquil to watch, the company says. Visit the website to see it in action.
