Picture this. A hot, sunny day. A perfectly clear swimming pool. A drink with an umbrella in your hand. Does it get any better than that? Well, maybe it does.

We've known for decades that diatomaceous earth (DE) swim pool filter powder produces the clearest, sparkling clean pools. But that powdery DE has also been known for being messy and hard to handle. That can put a damper on pool care. Who wants to clean up powdery white stuff around your beautiful swimming pool? Well, we took that problem to heart, and guess what? Problem solved! Our R&D team put on their super smart innovation hats and, voila - EP Minerals now has a patent-pending LOW DUST diatomaceous earth filter powder - CelaPool!

In the EP Minerals R&D Lab

In an average day, you probably come in contact with over 100 products that have been manufactured or processed using industrial minerals. Industrial minerals are defined as non-metallic minerals produced from natural sources. Science and technology are playing an ever increasing role in new product innovation in the world of industrial minerals.

Here at EP Minerals, we mine and manufacture products from diatomaceous earth (DE), perlite, and clays. These incredibly high-quality minerals are used in an extremely broad range of applications in every day life. Without these minerals, a vast range of products would simply not exist. Surprised?

Flynn, the Bichon Frise, won Best of Show at Westminster (Photo: MarketWatch)

A cute little cotton ball won the Best in Show award at the 142nd Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show yesterday. Flynn, the little white powder puff pup, also known as aka GCHP CH Belle Creek's All I Care About Is Love, was picked over six other champs including a popular pug named Biggie and Ty the giant schnauzer. We also had a Carson City, NV canine celebrity do well this year. Adele, a Spinone Italiano owned by Carson City Deputy Director of Emergency Management Stacey Belt, won best dog out of 12 in her breed. Yay Adele!

Adele, the Spinone Italiano from Carson City, NV won the Best of Breed class.

Now that Flynn the puff ball is a celebrity, he has a busy schedule. Today includes visits to the morning TV news shows, a steak lunch at Sardi's, a trip to the top of the Empire State Building, and he's been invited for a walk-on part at a Broadway hit "Kinky Boots." I tell you. The life of a dog. Flynn's next plan is to retire, so he can just be a dog. He loves belly rubs and rolling in the snow. He's probably allowed to jump on the bed. My guess is he doesn’t have fleas. But if he did, I’m sure his owner would want an organic insecticide that's really effective on fleas. Hey, we have a product like that!

Believe it or not, it's swim pool season! Maybe not in your backyard or neighborhood pool, but it's prime time for companies that have anything to do with the swim pool industry. And that means us! EP Minerals' Celatom diatomaceous earth (DE) swim pool filter powder and CelaPool low dust DE swim pool filter media are the "go to" filtration products for swimming pools. We're out on the road talking it up with our swim pool industry friends.

This week it's the Everything Under The Sun Expo in Orlando. Then it's on to the Western Pool Show in Long Beach. Farmers Almanac is predicting a drier, warmer summer this year, so it sounds like folks need to stock up early on diatomaceous earth swim pool filter powder. That and blowup floaties and sunscreen!

Punxsutawney Phil, Official Rodent Meteorologist

Dateline: Gobbler's Knob, PA. Everyone's holding their breath to see what the world's most famous groundhog predicts. Will he see his shadow? Will we really have six more weeks of winter? It's been a pretty crazy year for weather everywhere, so you just don't know. What do you think Phil is hoping for? Alfalfa and berries are his favorite foods. And we've heard that he's looking for more diatomaceous earth (DE) to help control fleas. Lots of nasty bugs in those burrows. Phil's looking for an organic DE insecticide that kills fleas. Hey, we have a product like that!

Got beer? How ‘bout wings? For most Americans that enjoy the Super Bowl, the season’s biggest game is much more than just a sports event. In many ways, Super Bowl Sunday has become a true American holiday. And like with most holidays, food and drinks both play an important role in our national celebration. With millions of viewers expected to watch Super Bowl LII, many will gather with friends and family to watch the Patriots and Eagles, and that means they’re be digging in to a host of traditional game day favorites like chips, Buffalo wings, and beer. But are wine, vodka and whiskey overtaking beer?

Okay, it's winter. It's cold. And who wants to think about baseball? Well who doesn't? Warm days, green grass, red dirt, the crack of the bat. Sounds great. And I know there are thousands of groundskeepers out there right now that are planning for next spring and can't wait til opening day. And what do they want? New infield conditioner, drying agent and mound clay. Preferably BallGame Changer premium infield conditioner and Play Ball! infield conditioner, mound clay and drying agent. Check out what people are saying:

“Thank you for introducing us to Ballgame Changer infield conditioner-I think it is most appropriately named. We found that during the hottest part of our season that we spent less time watering our infield on a daily basis, and our water retention was vastly improved. I will also tell you that we played the last three game of the playoffs her under cloudy, cool and rainy conditions and we never missed a beat. The field was phenomenal and according to feedback from umpires and opposing coaches our playing surface was the best in the league at seasons end! Thanks again for all your help and please keep the game changer coming!!"
-Monty Sowell, Midland Texas RockHounds (Double A affiliate for the Oakland A’s)
