        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.

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:
