How to save electricity?

[peapot]

Oh! After reading thru the posts then I remembered I have a fish pond too. I never gave it much thought. Does the pump consume alot of electricity?

[quote=\"Busymom\"] Ours are about 6 years old and apparently, the chemical washing that we did from time to time had damaged certain parts of the aircons and they won't last that many more times of chemical washing... may need to have them changed by next year or so. :moneyflies:

Does that mean chemical washing is not good???

Yes, and we just found out. It will cause certain parts to rust :sad:[/quote]chemical washing is necessary for certain condition of aircon.. esp when it is very dirty.

If it rusts due to chemical wash, means the washing is not done properly. The tech is supposed to remove all traces of the chemicals after washing..

You can check the power rating ( like 500W, 1000W etc... ) or ask your hubby to check.. then we tell you it has big appetite or not....

yes the pumps and the UV runs 24/365, plus the under water lights .... all guzzles quite a bit ......

I read this and I'm tempted to ask: \"Anyone here has a swimming pool at home and forgot about it as well?\"
