A5 3 Answers Beauty , Scs Health, University of Lagos(2019)Answered 2h ago A pool is an impressive feature of a home, but it can also be the mostdifficult and expensive to maintain. When it comes time to decide between DIYpool care and using a professional pool cleaning service, consider such tasksas maintaining the filter, surface skimming and chemical testing Does a poolrequire a lot of maintenance? In other words, a $20,000 inground pool would typically cost between$2,000 and $3,000 to maintain each year. ... On the maintenance side,above-ground pool owners can expect to spend within the ballpark of $1,000 and$1,200 on maintenance each year, 2NDANSWER- Kimberly Answered 2h ago Convenient and not that difficult to maintain. (PH balance, muraticacid/ chlorine (unless it's bromine), filters, etc etc.. it's worth it) 3RDANSWER-Dylan, Business guy, scientist and fun lover.Answered 25m ago We have an inground pool and love it. It is not difficult to maintain,but needs to be maintained regularly. It’s very helpful to have features thathelp with maintenance. Some helpful features are: auto-chlorinator, skimmer ateach end, pressure vac/sweep with a dedicated pump that can work the entirebottom, multi-port valve that makes backwashing, excess water draining andother chores easier, and a side port built-in to add water. Sometimes I wish wehad a pool cover to keep debris out, but covers are a hassle and look like crapafter a while. Probably missed a few, but these things make maintain it a loteasier. Another importantthing is to understand pool water chemistry and keep your pool in balance.Letting it seesaw in and out of balance makes things more difficult. Gettingthe hang of this isn’t hard and there are great products to make it easier. My note- In Kerala areas like Vaikkam and Cherhala stillhave open water pools. Many homes earier had 3-4 pools and not used after watertaps provided from well water. They areall now closed. For name sake some homes have pools , now well protected andused only for misc works.

Will thissetting recirculate the air in the room or bring in outside cold air? Will itdamage the unit to run it on a snowy day? A8 Wicida Sarme, former ProAnswered Nov12, 2019 If your window type air conditioner has an available option to closeand/or open a small window opening called “vent”, then you may close it torecirculate the air in the room.. Leaving that small vent window opening will let some fresh cold air tocome into the room and at the same time let out some warm stale air from theroom to escape! Letting the unit to run its fan on a snowy day should not harm nordamage the air conditioning unit.. 2NDANSWER- Paul SmithAnswered Nov 12, 2019 Most window airconditioners don't have a vent. It's all recirculating. You'll only havethat if there is a vent /recirculation switch or lever. Most people shut thewindow units down for the winter as they are a big source of air leaks. 3RD ANSWER- DeanHough, former Electrical Engineer \ Computer ScienceAnswered Nov 12,2019 The way this is worded it sounds like you are in a home. In this case no air is circulatedfrom the outside, ever. Homes almost always have closed systems thatmerely circulate the air within the home and heat it or cool it, depending onthe temp setting. When you turn the fan switch to “on”, it simply turns on thefan to circulate air throughout the home without engaging the AC compressor orturning on the furnace heater. Sometimes it’s beneficial to circulate the airlike this because one room might have stale air, or smoke, or an oder, orwhatever. It won’t damage the unit to run the fan, ever. Snow, wind, rain, sun,drought, anything on earth, won’t hurt the unit to run the fan. It’s a closedsystem and it doesn’t care what’s going on outside. Outside air is notcirculated into the home for 99.99% of all home AC systems. It’s possible that some high-end orexotic systems might support drawing in outside ambient air but this is veryunusual. On the other hand almost always offer this option. You can opt to drawin fresh air from the outside or circulate air within the car. Commercialbuildings will often have more sophisticated temperature control systems thatmight draw in outside air to be mixed with air within the building but this issomewhat unusual. What’s more common is for commercial systems to use “anoptimizer” which will utilize outside air for cooling if the outside ambienttemperature is lower than the indoor temperature. It’s much less expensive touse already cool air from the outside rather than turn the compressor to coolthe air. Side note… runningyour home AC in fan mode only uses less electricity than running the compressorbut it’s still not cheap. A rough estimate is that running the fan only will use about 40% of theelectricity compared to running the compressor in normal auto mode. But thatfan can eat you up alive if you’re not careful. AC cooling systems runintermittently and might be running 30% of the time on a hot day. But if youturn the fan on it’s running 100% of the time because it’s permanently on. That means the fan only modeactually consumes more electricity than your AC would on a hot day. So use the fan modesparingly. Otherwise you will be in for a shock when you get a high electricbill even though you thought you were saving money in fan modealone.

Q10 Do we need bed frames? What’s wrong withhaving a mattress on the floor? A10 Stranger Things Marcy Stehling Oct 19 Thank goodness for bed frames. In my younger days, when the in-laws visited,my husband and I gave up our beds in consideration of the in-laws, and we sleptin the living room on a plain mattress on the floor. It was hard to roll out ofbed and onto my feet even in my 30s. I can’t imagine sleeping on a mattress on the floor at my age. I havesciatica and minor knee problems, and these days if I just sit down on the floor I have to besure to have something close by to grab, in order to heave myself back up. I also normally have to get up in the night to use the restroom. I’mpositive I don’t want to try to get off the mattress and onto my feet in themiddle of the night, when I have to pee. Perish the thought. Yep. Bed frames are for me. I hope I never have to sleep on a mattresson the floor again in my life. Q11 Do horsesreally need horseshoes if they still get regular hoof cleanings? A11 Claire Jordan Degree in biology andfolklore; programmer, shop owner, secretary on newspaper Oct 11 It’s not the cleaningthat’s the issue. It’s how much exercise they get and on what kind of terrain. If they’re livingon soft ground and not being ridden much their hooves will need to be trimmed,and if they’re beingridden on hard roads or packed earth their hooves will need to be protectedfrom wearing down too much. You can do without shoes if they’re gettingplenty of exercise on medium-consistency ground. Q12 In theMiddle Ages and other times throughout history, if someone was too poor to buysalt, how did they survive? A12 Ernest W. AdamsSchool taught me to hatehistory, but now I loveit.Oct 12 You can getenough salt just through ordinary food to survive. You don't need to addit to anything; it just makes it taste better. Medieval peoples used salt for preserving food through the winter, particularly cheese, but Idon't think they were entirely dependent on it. They could always dry or smoke meat and pickle vegetables, and theydidn't need to do anything to preserve wheat, barley, oats and rye. Bread madewithout salt is pretty bland, but it's still nutritious. All the above QA are based on Quora digest to me on 29-10-2021. Quoraanswers need not be 100% correct answers Compiler- R.
