The Tip is 'Don't procrastinate' For years I've been buying ink jet cartridges from a big box office supply store. These cartridges were made overseas and labeled with the well-known brand of a large American printer company. One I remembered a local store that advertised quality cartridges. I had traveled by this local store hundreds of times but never stopped. This time I stopped at the local store. To my surprise I discovered that they carried the cartridge I needed and it was a Made in USA cartridge. Made in Chicago, to be precise, and it was half the price of the imported ones I had been buying for years. The quality is exceptional and they last longer too. Who knew? After that experience, I make a point to stop at every store I can. By doing so, I've been finding more and more Made in America products. Occasionally the clerks don't know the country of origin; this can be discouraging but finding the origin information yourself isn't difficult I've come to realize. Believe it not, there are actually a number of computers made in the US including laptops made in the USA. When the label is not visibly displayed I use the other Made in America buying tips to help me find Made in US. If the store doesn't carry what you are looking for, use Made in America Secrets to find it and tell the manager about your experience at their store. If enough people are asking for Made in America products stores will begin to carry them.

You have immediate feedback on your stroke, speed and efficiency. A unique automatic feedback control system (patent pending) adjusts the speed of the water flow according to your swimming speed, from very slow to Olympic swimmer. Can be used for a number of aquatic therapy exercises (normal water depth is 40 - a deep well is an option). More technical details... A powerful 10hp motor and a unique propulsion system create an even, strong flow of water for a realistic river current effect. Lower operating cost: Because of our intelligent electronics (VSD) the energy used (in Amps) is only as much as instantly needed. Thus, at medium and low speed settings, the operating cost is less than with other systems, even those with smaller electric motors. In addition, large 3-phase motors are more efficient than smaller 3-phase motors and almost all single phase motors, contributing to the lower operating cost at any speed. One switch operation: Switch on and jump in. No remote unit or control knobs required. Laminar flow of the water at the surface, from front to back, assures no dragging down of legs and feet. Standard dimensions (other sizes are available as options): Inside: 8' x 15' x 4', with no encumbrances. Outside: 10' x 20' x 4' including all pumps, filters and gears at one end.
