How to plan for your new pool

Getting a new pool can be extremely exciting. It is a very nostalgic piece of the backyard for many of us, that we want our own kids to grow up with too. But pool design has evolved significantly since the time we were children. In the past 10-15 years the options available have exploded tremendously. With so many unique elements which you can incorporated it is easy to feel like a kid in a candy store, trying to take a bit of everything. Yet it is important for us to show restraint.

Cleaning your solar panels

After acquiring a set of solar panels, there is just one thing you need to keep doing to make sure the electricity bill stays low over time, and that is to clean your solar panels. Due to the nature of dust-gathering over time and the occasional bird-poop droppings, your solar panels are destined to decrease in performance over time. The upside of this is that you can prevent any serious decrease in performance with an occasional wash. Of course, this is not something that you need to do every week but rather something that needs to be done every 4-8 months, to ensure maximum efficiency and bang for your buck.
