[quote=\"FQW\"]Talking about saving water, I've this dehumidifier at home in one of the rooms. In a week I can collect cold water the size of one full pail which I'll then use to splash on the toilet floor.


So to save water [it's free, it's from the air], buy a lot of these dehumidifiers can liao.

In our case, we have humidifier in our rooms, not dehumidifier...

I have a dehumnifier too. Not sure if the water in the tank is clean? Feel like using it to water plants, but scare that my husband's plants will die... :rotflmao: In the end I use it for pouring into sink.[/quote]My wife uses detergent-tainted water to water our orchids - last I saw, they were blooming. I'm not making this up.

Ok basic question here.


Does the electricity tariff differ depending on the type of property one stays? I’m not talking about utility rebates from the govt; those I know depends on property owned.

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?

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

Vk2010, Busymum, php, Happy Mama? Anyone?

Alamak! Suddenly saw my name here.
My 'swimming pool' is only fit for fishes to swim, not human. :rotflmao:

then your pond need to instal UV filter to kill the algae

mine has no algae, water crystal clear, can see to the bottom, has not changed water for 7 years

Fish will get skin cancer or not :evil:

Got water got light, sure got algae..

Unless there is something in the water that feeds on algae which will help to control the growth.. like catfish, snails etc..

or.. you can use vk's method...... :evil:
