      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:

                      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:
