			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-203" title="freeform_swimming_pool.89182803_std" src="http://www.dantobb.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/freeform_swimming_pool.89182803_std-300x218.jpg" alt="freeform_swimming_pool.89182803_std" width="300" height="218" />This is not possible to keep your pool from contaminants such as mucus brown, cloudy water and algae, etc. Over time, large amounts of pollutants to the surface of the pool to keep you and look bad and the ugly. A good cleaning is needed to keep your pool looking clean and full of life. Dealing with certain substances and mushrooms, you need the help of certain chemicals such as pond algae to monitor water clarified to keep, and chlorine and shock the pool. Keeping your pool clean and gives you all the sound economic environment. But the dirty pond can not just look bad shape, but you do not feel comfortable when swimming in the IT and the skin may occur a number of problems.</p>

- Pool Filters<br />
- Pool hose<br />
- Swimming pool pumps<br />
- Shock Pool<br />
- Swimming pool skimmer<br />
Pool test strips -<br />
- Water clarified</p>
<p><strong>Direction</strong></p>
<p>1. If you close the pool, remove it carefully.</p>
<p>2. Take the pool skimmer and remove all dirt and debris visible from the surface of the pond. This will ensure that your pool filter will be blocked. First shave all waste from the top, then foam bottom.</p>
<p>3. Use of swimming pool filter, rinse with clean water. Use a garden hose and spray water on the filter to clean the debris. Place the filter with water.</p>
<p>4. Install the filter in the socket of the swimming pool at the pump right. Link swimming pool pumps and filters and switched to the pool filter pump flow.</p>
<p>5. Better for the bottom of the pool on the net. This will help you to work on the entire bottom of the pool. brush the pool and the hose is the best option for the pond. You can find several brands of hard to remove, but some may be permanent.<br />
6. Supervise the pool filter, or by cleaning your session. You may want to clean the filter 2-3 times while cleaning the pool when it becomes filled with water and dirt.</p>
<p><em>Each time you remove the filter completely with water. Then reinstall and easy to continue your work.</em></p>
<p>7. After cleaning is finished, now is the time to monitor the algae, shock the pool water to clear and add to your pond clean and free from algae and bacteria for a longer period.</p>
<p>8. Take powdered shock and put the amount needed by the pool. If necessary, mix it with the help brush the pool to splash in the water evenly.</p>

<p>10. Take guard algae and add it in the same way as you do powder shock and water clear. Research some time ensuring that all three mixed with pond water and there is no settled at the bottom.</p>
<p>11. Allow the pump to operate the pool. Grab the hose and brush from the pool and cover-ups (solar blanket or something that fits) the pool surface to keep it free from pollution.</p>
<p>12. The next morning take the hedge from the surface of the pond. Take a chemical test strip and place it in the pond water and kept it there for some time immovable. Soon you will see a color change strip. Compare the color with the color levels are given on the packaging of chemical test strips.</p>
<p>These colors will help you to find out if you need more amount of chemicals in the pool or not. If you need more chemicals, add them to add. chemical levels in the pond must be stable and in equilibrium with the pH and alkalinity levels.</p>
<p>13. Every day you should start with Step 12. Return to Step 6. You should end up with a Step 11. This process continues until your pool water clear and hygienic. This process will go for several days, depending on the condition of your pool.</p>
<p>14. You need a test strip every day to monitor and ensure that chemical levels must remain stable and in accordance with the recommended specifications.</p>
<p>15. In the end you have a chlorine dispenser in the pool fixed. Keep full of chlorine and this will provide the level of chlorine needed to keep the pool clean. Double the amount of chlorine in the summer and high usage session.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-200" title="9-8-08amyhouse1" src="http://www.dantobb.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/9-8-08amyhouse1-300x225.jpg" alt="9-8-08amyhouse1" width="300" height="225" />Each person feels the need to rein in spending this summer, but most people do not often think about how to keep their homes cool can affect their savings. There are quite a few ways to keep your home cool this summer while helping you save money in your wallet.</p>
<p>1. Open Windows<br />
Once the outside air to cool the air inside your home, immediately open the window. A breeze blew in your home is the perfect accompaniment to a summer evening. During the day, keep windows and curtains closed to keep the coolness of the night before. Keeping the windows and curtains closed will also work to reflect back the sun shone bright and warm up your home.</p>
<p>2. Use Fans<br />
Ceiling fans work by moving air around your room. Make sure that the fan was blowing in the right direction. You can tell this by looking at the knife, if the leading higher than the back end of a knife and then the fan pushes air downwards. the fan should blow down in the summer and upward in winter. If you do not already have one, install attic fan. As the fan moves the air around and draw in cool air from outside at the same time. Make sure that you open a window on the first night, before turning on the attic fan.</p>
<p>Another fan of households to run a fan in your furnace. Most thermostats allow you to switch without running the furnace fan or air conditioner. Furnace fan will cause the air in your house to release complete and therefore will eliminate hot spots or cold. Turning on the furnace fan also helps to catch any allergens that enter your house through open windows. However, you should check regularly and replace the filter in your furnace.</p>
<p>3. Install an Energy-Efficient Thermostat<br />
A programmable thermostat can be your best friend in the summer. You have to program it increased by 5 degrees before you leave for work and have it scheduled to return to its regular temperature before you get home. During the summer months is recommended that you set your thermostat to 78 degrees, especially if you have central air. However, if you really want to accumulate savings, consider increasing the additional degree or two. Each raised above 78 degrees the same as saving almost 6-7%.</p>
<p>4. Close vents<br />
Remember to close the air vents in rooms that are not always used in your home. This helps to force more air out of the holes that exist in commonly used rooms, such as bedrooms or living.</p>
<p>5. Turn Off the Lights<br />
Everyone knows that one of the main aspects to saving energy in your home is to turn off unused lights you. However, turning off lights can actually help reduce the amount of heat inside your home as well. Most every light bulb produces heat as a consequence of the emitting light.</p>
<p>6. Avoid Stoves<br />
Turn on the stove to cook food can greatly increase the amount of heat in your home. So either prepare food in advance and just reheat in the microwave, eating a healthy salad, or have a BBQ on the grill outside. However, if you really need to turn on the oven make sure you do it later in the evening after the window has been opened.</p>
<p>7. Leave Laundry<br />
Although that may sound too good to be true, instead of doing laundry during daytime hours, try to do that later in the evening. A dryer that emits little heat, although outside the discarded, still can leak back in your home. What then is in the evening, cooling will be and the less likely you are drying the excess heat will add warmth to your home.</p>
<p>8. Unplug Electronics<br />
Remember that not only is installed in the electronic still produce electricity, they also changed the same forces that become dangerous heat. So unplug electronic devices you are not currently using and where you are, the protector of the wave.</p>
<p>9. Spent More Time At The Lowest Level Of Your House<br />
This is the simple fact that hot air rises. Try to avoid spending time at the top level of your home during the summer. Rather than turn your basement into the living room and gathered there.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-197" title="marbella-property-lorcrimar1" src="http://www.dantobb.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/marbella-property-lorcrimar1-300x225.jpg" alt="marbella-property-lorcrimar1" width="300" height="225" />The property markets of the world have taken a tumble recently. The recession has hit us all hard and when it comes to buying property, investors have not shown so much interest due to the banks reducing their mortgage lending. Couple this with the property price rises over the last few years in Spain and one can see why things have dried up somewhat.</p>
<p>But it is not all doom and gloom. If you can find a 30% deposit and your fees, Marbella on the Costa del Sol still represents excellent value. <strong><a href=" http://www.ddgworld.com/spa/">Propiedades en venta Costa del Sol</a></strong> as the Spanish refer to them, can still provide investors with the returns that they are looking for.</p>
<p>Firstly we need to mention why Marbella and the Costa del Sol represents such a good return on investment, even during these volatile times that we currently live in.</p>
<p>Marbella has for around 25 years or more, been the home of the rich and famous on the Costa del Sol. It’s sort of like the St Tropez, of Spain. Multi million euro mansions, designer stores and extravagant yachts. But it’s not just about the rich and famous.</p>
<p>Many holidaymakers flock here every year for their holidays. With 320 days of sunshine, great beaches, skiing (yes skiing inland), shopping and golf, it’s easy to see why the Costa del Sol has become so popular.</p>
<p>So as an investor, where’s the return? Well, although the sales market as slumped a little of late, the rental markets both long and short term have remained fairly strong. As many people are not buying at the moment, they have shown a greater interest in long term rentals in the area.</p>
<p>The same applies to the short term holiday rental market. The Costa del Sol and Marbella is still a firm favourite with holidaymakers and although rental occupancies are lower than in recent years, there are still very positive signs. There are many beautiful <a href="http://www.ddgworld.com/Holiday_rentals/Costa_del_Sol/">villa <strong>rentals in Marbella</strong></a> and other parts of the coast that are available.</p>
<p>So, if you are looking for a great return on your property investment. Take a look at Marbella on the Costa del Sol. It still represents great long term capital growth and short term rental income.</p>
