I have just started using the Hybernite Rainout Control System Hose and I found a "Lighted Foot Switch" at Wal Mart that is working well. You plug your hose power plug into this switch and the switch into the wall. I have all of my cord's and power boxes hid under my night stand so I leave just the lighted step on button of the Foot Switch exposed and I step on it to turn my hose on. When I get up in the morning I simply step on it again to turn it off. Cost $8.97 and has been well worth it.

That is a great idea; we bought a floor switch in lovely green and red several years ago--right after the holidays.

Chunky,

That is exactly what I am talking about. The idea for this step on floor button I am quite sure was taken from the Christmas Trees that had the step on, on and off button so you didn't have to reach down and plug them in every time you wanted them lit. I give whoever created it credit though it certainly has been a back saver for me. Highly recommend.

Another one of these 8 year old polls that someone activated. Not a lot of interest 8 years ago...only 26 responses with 1700 views. Many of these Polls are a waste of time.
