		<description><![CDATA[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 &#8211; 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! How many swimming suits have you bleached out? Is your hair dry from pool chlorine? Do you get rid or itchy eyes or skin? Owners of salt chlorine systems report much better experiences with their pool water. Has keeping your water clean and blue become a big chore which takes up time you could use for other things? Many people report that using a modern salt to chlorine system is much simpler, and lets them enjoy their pool longer with less time spent worrying about pool problems. Now these systems may not be for every swimming pool owner, but most people who have purchased them really enjoy [...]

		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;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 &#8211; a Splash Pool &#8211; 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 &#8211; but I live in the Shouth, and hey &#8211; it gets hot here! OK? Stains Could Be Metals and Not Algae OK, so here&#8217;s the story. After I uncovered my pool for the summer it was a greyish-green horror. I did my best to scoop out gunk, balance the water, and start treating for algae &#8211; which I surely did have! However, even when the water tested within normal parameters, looked clear enough to see the bottom, and had plenty of chlorine, it was still an ugly greenish-gunky looking pond. On the advice of the guy at the pool store, I dumped in more algicide, which was a big mistake. See, algae killers contain copper, and more copper may have been coming into the pool from my old pipes [...]

		<description><![CDATA[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 &#8220;somebody else&#8221;, have left a nasty mess. What do you do? If the bowl is not really full, you try to flush it once, and only once. Try the cold bucket or water. You need to strike a balance between pouring it in quickly, and not overflowing the top. Try a plunger. We find that those larger plungers you can find these days work better than the really small ones. We even named ours&#8230; Big Bob&#8230; like he was part of the family. Make sure that Big Bob covers he hole, and that you are pushing water down, and not just air. If this doesn&#8217;t work, you may have an [...]

		<description><![CDATA[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!
