Hello, my name is Bob and this is my bush regeneration blog. Until a couple of years ago, I didn't know a thing about bush regeneration. All that changed when I purchased some land located near Alice Springs. I moved my family out to our new house and started work on the place to turn it into our dream home. Once I had fixed up the house itself, I turned my attention to the surrounding land. I called in an environmental consultant who gave me plenty of advice about how I could regenerate the bush land which surrounded my home. I hope you like my blog.

Popular Options for Keeping Your Home's Swimming Pool Water Warm
Evelyn Horton
Keeping your home's swimming pool water warm is vital for your comfort, even in summertime. Rarely does the outside temperature or direct sunlight work to keep all the water off even a small pool warm enough for swimming, and this is especially true if your yard has lots of shade trees, or if the pool is often exposed to cooling winds. To keep your swimming pool water warm, note a few choices and options you have, so you can choose the best one for your property.
Heater, heat pump
Heaters and heat pumps are two very obvious ways of keeping a swimming pool's water warm, but many homeowners don't understand the difference between these choices. A heater uses propane or gas to heat water as it's circulated from the pool's filter and then back into the pool itself. A heat pump collects air around it, passes that air over a condensed refrigerant to warm it, and then exposes the pool water to this heated air as it circulates through the filter.
A standard heater is more costly to operate, as you need to supply that gas or propane, but a heat pump won't work once temperatures drop to a certain level. If you only use your pool in summertime, a heat pump may be sufficient; otherwise, stick with a standard heater.
Liquid solar blanket A liquid solar blanket is actually a liquid that is added to the pool water and which then floats along the top, collecting warmth from the sunlight and holding it in the water. This "blanket" is only a few molecules thick, and not typically noticeable when you're in the water.
Solar sun rings
Solar sun rings float on top of the water, collecting heat from the sun and then holding it against the water. These sun rings have magnets on the sides, so you can place them next to each other and create a full blanket over the pool, and then remove as many as needed to open up an area of the pool for swimming.
Wind blocks
If your pool's water is exposed to wind, it will consistently lose heat, just like blowing on a bowl of hot soup will cool it. Wind blocks can cut off that wind and allow your pool's water to hold heat; this might include glass or vinyl fence panels, or even walls of bamboo stalks around the pool, or at least in the area that will cut off the most wind.
