Introduction
It’s all about hydrogen ions and water. Hydrogen, you remember, the most abundant molecule on earth, is in the upper right-hand corner of the periodic table of elements. It is just one proton and one electron. Two hydrogen molecules combine with one oxygen molecule to form water. The hydrogen ion (H+) in water has a positive charge; the mirror image chemical is the hydroxyl ion (OH-) that has a negative charge. These two ions are like a teeter-totter. When one is up, the other is down. An acid has a high concentration of hydrogen ions and a low concentration of hydroxyl ions. A base is just the opposite. Put an acid and a base together carefully because they react with vigor to make water and release a lot of energy.
To understand pH, buffers, total alkalinity, and chlorine in any body of water like a pool, spa, pond or drinking water, you have to understand hydrogen ions. [Read more…]

Cover up –
covers prevent both water & chemical loss from evaporation
Reuse the water –
use drained pool/spa water to irrigate your lawn (just remember don’t add any chemicals 3 days prior to draining)
Go solar-
by going large scale (direct solar panels) or small scale (accent lights) the devices will pay off when it comes time to pay the electric bill
Make it recycled-
Thinking of revamping the backyard? Look into recycled products: cabinets, patio furniture, and fencing are just a few of the products you can get from recycled material. They are low maintenance and made to last for a while
Lower temperature, more saving –
by lowering the temperature of your spa 3 degrees while it not being used can save you 5-10% of your spa heating cost
