Installing a lap pool or endless swimming pool in your home is a long term investment in your health and fitness as much as it is one in the overall value of your house. Lets face it – gyms are smelly, nerve-racking places. Many people are turned off by the constant scrutiny of perfectly built athletes as much as they are by the pounding techno favored by most fitness clubs.

The main question when it comes to lap pool designs is whether you have enough space to fit one in your backyard. The absolute minimum lap pool length is forty feet. A lap pool should also be at least eight feet wide and at least three and a half feet deep. Aside from this, everythings rosy – lap pools need much less water than your average recreational pool, and the linear, elegant look of lap pool design is much less likely to conflict with the style of your existing home.

Another option you might not have seen before is to buy an endless pool. Endless Pools. Inc. have been producing the best of these for years. They utilize a bunch of nozzles to create a current the strength of which you can adjust to simulate the effect of swimming fast, slow or moderately, all without moving an inch. People call it the treadmill for swimmers, though its actually a lot better at simulating the exercise of swimming than treadmills are of simulating running exercise – in fact, studies have shown great improvement in form by athletes who use Endless pools to help them improve their hydrodynamic motion through the water. The company now even produces a movable unit called The Fastlane which can be installed in any pool, for an effect that really gives you the best of both worlds. For those who are most concerned about space, theres no reason your hot tub cant double as an endless pool – it only needs to be about half-again the length of your body.

Endless pools are also hydraulically powered, which keeps their consumption of electricity down so low youll scarcely notice the drain. While theres nothing that beats the freedom of a full-length lap pool design, this option is both a space saver and a great showpiece sure to fascinate guests and reignite your familys interest in physical fitness.

Focusing on colloidal silver meters

   Posted by: Raymond Petros   in Health and Well Being

The unit of measurement used for calculating colloidal silver content is known as Total Dissolved Solids. This is known as TDS in its abbreviated form and it is used to record the concentration of substances that are to be found in the water base.

The fact that colloidal silver is a suspension and not an actual dissolved solid poses problems when it comes to measuring the substance.

Basically a colloid is a particle suspended in a liquid medium. In this specific case the particle being referred to is silver with a liquid medium of water.

The reality of TDS meters

TDS meters are not entirely effective when it comes to giving a precise count of silver colloids present in the substance. Rather they function more accurately in terms of gauging the purity of the water.

The leading TDS meter producers have clearly stated the limited effectiveness of these meters. Yet their use for the purpose of calculating silver colloids continues.

The leading companies concur that TDS meters are not the perfect tools for measuring the colloid count. On the contrary this is a perfect tool for measuring the impurities present in your distilled water.

You will find TDS meters being sold as effective tools for testing colloidal silver ppm when in truth it does not give you a precise reading.

The only way in which you can get a precise reading of colloids present in your colloidal silver is to get your sample to an appropriate laboratory.

Having your CS tested in this manner can be quite expensive. The only alternative left is to make use of TDS meters and get a fairly accurate ppm count.

When using a TDS meter the reading received is written as the number obtained followed by ppm TDS. Although the TDS meter does not give you a completely accurate result in general the results obtained are accurate enough to be used for basic purposes.

TDS meters are good enough to provide you with a fairly good idea of the colloid count. In this respect it is a better choice to rely on these meters rather than your own guess work.

How TDS meters function

The meter works well with DC CS as well as the high voltage AC CS. For example you can make use of a TDS meter with Merlins Super Silver.

You will find the newest in line of TDS meters to be embedded with a built in automatic temperature compensation. With the help of this advanced technology you can easily measure and read the ppm count.

The latest TDS meters are fitted with a snap lid plastic case that is incredibly sturdy. You will also get a jewelers screwdriver in case you have to re-calibrate the meter.

In order to check a TDS meter you need to place it in distilled water up to the maximum level indicated on the device. At this point your meter should display 0 and if it does, it means the device is accurate.

When you discover that your man is cheating, the desperate question pops – why do men cheat? It is common and normal for men to cheat, so do not be surprised and you are not alone. Unfortunately for some men, its like changing shoes. Once the shoes have had enough, they get replaced.

The old saying men will be men, has been turned into an all around cheater slogan. A real man is not a man that cheats on his women because he wants another. A real man is someone who is willing to work out his relationship problems in hopes of saving what he already has waiting for him at home.

Men get bored very easily, be it in a party or with one woman. So they want to try some different and more exciting. So they end up cheating. In some couples, there is no fire between them anymore or the relationship has lost its luster. Sex and bedroom issues are the top reasons for men to look for alternatives. In some cases, they just slip and it happens by accident.

Boredom is another common excuse, but you would have to ask them if they have ever bothered to talk about it with their companion. It is only natural that the initial passion wears down a little bit, but you have every opportunity to liven it back up. It’s a two way street and you can’t blame boredom solely on the woman. Take a look in the mirror before you go chasing after someone else.

A man measures his manhood by what’s in his pants instead of what’s in his head. The reason why so many men do this will never completely be determined and the answer to why do men cheat is a mystery. God gave men two different heads to use in order to navigate life. Many choose to use the one that will get them no where but divorced and alone.
