My wife is a duckie fanatic but during my first test soak yesterday all the duckies ended up under the filter lid within seconds. �Is there any way to keep them floating within the tub??? �My wifes good nature is on the line here! �

paul,

This is an area we need some entrepeneur to step in with a great idea to resolve the ducky containment issue.

I have a sharky thermometer that has a tether cord you can wrap around something like a diverter valve to keep him in line. Maybe a piece of rope around that little ducky's neck will do the trick.

A 5 pound anchor should do the trick............Seriously, anything floating will follow the flow of the water.

Keep those duckies out of the filter. You could end up with a whole family of duckies before you know it.

Seriously,
We have found a couple of pockets of relatively calm water in our spa (unless the jets are going of course) and the ducks will hang out there for quite awhile before moving. If they head for the filter area, a quick lift of a foot or hand to redirect them works just fine.

I have a customer who has made a duck leash that elastic strap and wraps around the ducks neck and attaches to her finger using a ring set up. She states it provided her extreme enjoyment and fun for her and her family and no longer has to worry about the duck getting lost in the filter compartment.

... I just HAD to have the Moses duck that my dealer had in his store... I commented on it and the dealer gave it to me, so I now have a duck in my tub.

Problem is... the waters keep parting! What's THAT all about? �

Our dealer noticed the chia around my wife's neck and gave her a moses duck too. (unforutnaly, the paint can come off of it in the hot tub. No problem in the trichlor swimmin pool, but the dichlor hot tub, it was flaking off...So it made an exodus from the tub to the pool.

OK, drewster, is that a small foreign car or a clay pot animal with sprouts growing on it? �Interesting jewelry either way....

Oy vey, I'm surrounded by heathens!

A chai (pronouced 'ki" whith a gutteral hebrewesqe throat clearing sound for the K sound.) is a hebrew symbol for life

K, I realize that I may have just about 3.141592653589793 seconds before I get my flippant butt kicked, but that chai looks a lot like PI to me.

It sure does, but chai is from the hebrew for life (the letters chet - yod) and the Pi symbol was first used in 1706 by william jones. I don't know why he chose it, (the first calucations for Pi were done the babyloians, but math historians noted that in the 1st book of kings, verse 7,23 solomon's temple calcualtion employed the ratio of 3:1 (basically P1)...so maybe there is a conection? Perhaps William Jones was up on his hebrew?
