Can an Investment in Salt Chlorine Systems Save You Money on Your Pool?

You know that we always say that sometimes you should spend some money in order to save money and time in the long run. Salt chlorine systems can cost hundreds of dollars, but we feel as if they save money in the long run.

• Common Table Salt – Costs 1/6 of the price of normal pool chemicals, and it is much safer to store. If you have young kids, the advantages of table salt over toxic chlorine may be priceless!

If you’re a cheapskate like me, you may have opted for a large vinyl above ground pool instead of an inground pool. I did buy a good one – a Splash Pool – because they are warrantied for 30 years, and not just expected to last a year or two like the cheap ones you buy at a discount store. And yes, I am a frugal person with a pool – but I live in the Shouth, and hey – it gets hot here! OK?

Do You Have One Of Those Toilets?

Well, toilets are one thing we would rather not discuss too much, and I have already posted a quick tip about unclogging a toilet with no commercial product. And while I have had some fairly positive feedback for that tip, apparently it does not do the job 100% of the time. And we really need to aim for success!

OK, so you walk in the the bathroom, and you see that one of your kids, your signifigant other, or of course the mysterious “somebody else”, have left a nasty mess. What do you do?

This is a great tip to unplug a toilet without expensive products. Simply squirt some normal dishwashing detergent in, and that nasty clog should get all greased up. The detergent is made to dissolve organic matter and it also lubricates.

Another benefit is that the pleasant smell of the detergent. It will mask the less pleasant smells that may come from the toilet clog.

Did you try this tip, or do you have another simple way to get a toilet unplugged? Let us know by leaving a comment!
