Abstract: A canopy anchoring system comprising a flexible anchoring sleeve of a cylindrical shape having a bore aperture positioned in the approximate center of the cylinder, the sleeve has a top portion and a bottom portion, the top portion of the sleeve contains a first top orifice for filling the sleeve with a liquid, the bottom portion of the sleeve contains a bottom orifice for draining the liquid from the sleeve, the top orifice and the bottom orifice each have a closure device, the sleeve with the bore aperture is constructed to allow a canopy leg to slide completely through, the canopy leg has a foot and a foot capturing puncture protection pad provides protection for the sleeve and securely capture the foot of the canopy leg.

Abstract: An accessory is easily attached to a faucet and is easily manipulated to increase the pressure of water flowing from the faucet. The accessory includes two plates, one of which is movable relative to the other one. Each plate has a plurality of water flow holes through which water from the faucet can flow. In one position, water from the faucet will flow through only one hole, thereby having a high pressure; while in a second position, water can flow through a plurality of holes thereby having a lower pressure. A handle is provided to move one plate with respect to the other plate.
