Warm up your Pool with Solar Water Heating Systems

If you are a person that loves to swim, and if you own a swimming pool, then your family knows just how much fun they have during the warm seasons. Wouldn’t it be more fun if you could open the pool up earlier than usual, and the kids could stay in the pool a little later in the evening, or maybe you could leave the pool open a little longer in the early fall.

I found a product that can help you do so. It’s called – Solar Pool Heater, this kind is made for above ground pools, there is also another kind that is made for In-Ground pools. This one in the picture is for above ground pools and you can lay it beside the pool or mount it on a slant frame, preferable were ever it is convenient, and out of the way, but you should consider positioning it were it will lay in the sun all day. That way you will get more benefit from using the Solar Pool Heater as it will absorb the most of the sun rays against the black surface.

The Solar Pool Heater Systems for the In-Ground pool uses a different approach, with that system it is installed up on the roof, and collects the sun rays up there were it stays HOT! It installs easily in line with your exiting pump and equipment. The pool water circulates through solar channels and returns to the pool nice and warm.

Both of these Solar Water Heating Systems uses No Electricity at all, just the power of the sun. You should expect 10 to 15 degrees warmer water. That would be very pleasant instead of getting that initial shock you get when you jump in the cold water, at first getting in. Here is a chart to help you decide what size system you may need.

Solar Panels for All

A few years ago, implementing solar technology in your home was only a dream. Sure a few people had their homes outfitted with solar panels, but this was mainly affluent people who lived in areas that received perennial sunshine. Thanks to recent innovations, however, solar energy is making its way into the mainstream.

The internet is littered with sites providing information on how to make your own solar panels. If DIY isn’t for you, there are also a variety of affordable pre-constructed panels now for sale. Solar panels are also being utilized in an assortment of consumer products, such as flashlights and outdoor lighting

Small Bathroom Makeovers with Saving Water Technology Toiletries

Bathroom is one of important rooms inside our home. We have to make over our bathroom although we have small bathroom inside our home. Small bathroom makeovers are must for us that want to get neat and healthy small bathroom. There are some things that we have to pay attention for them while doing small bathroom makeovers. One of them is how to picking out toiletries. Of course we should pick out the best toiletries and the toiletries that suitable with our small bathroom style.

Generally, people think that the bathroom design is the most important thing on small bathroom makeovers. That’s not wrong but nowadays we have to pay attention on the technology of the toiletries too. The technology which is care to environment and water saving. There are three toiletries which we can use for water saving and give care to our environment.


1. Saving Water Toilet Bowl

Make sure that our toilet bowl is belonging to saving water category. The saving water toilet bowl is on 4.5/3 liter flushing.

2. Sink Faucet

Make sure that our sink faucet is not drum water on pressure up to 23 liter per minute. Nowadays, in the sink faucet market, there is a sink faucet that created with Pressure Compensating Aerator (PCA) technology. By this PCA technology, the sink faucet only drums 7 liter water per minute.

3. Shower

Generally, shower drums 23 liter water per minute. This is too much water spending. Now, with shower that uses Pressure Compensating Washer (PCW), we can give care to our environment by saving water. By this PCW technology, the shower only drums 9 liter water per minute without decreasing our bathing comfort.

We can use toiletries like these if we want to take care our environment by saving water. Beside, we find our small bathroom makeovers become good, we also go along with Go Green campaign.
