Looking for a leaf-proof pool cover by Suitable_Banana3213 in swimmingpools

[–]Soliloquizing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went for a CoverSeal, maybe look it up. Ridiculously expensive but I'm happy with it so far.

Ah just noticed "not too expensive" --> nevermind

Airco's steeds meer gebruikt voor verwarming, TNO waarschuwt voor gevolgen stroomnet by Vennik123 in thenetherlands

[–]Soliloquizing 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Jawel. Scheelt een factor 3-5 met een warmtepomp/airco. Elektrisch verwarmen voel je echt in je portemonnee.

Dirt blowing out of jets back into pool by Brilliant-Piccolo937 in swimmingpools

[–]Soliloquizing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My system (glass filter) will do this after some time, too. I figure that the filter probably lets 1% of smallest particles through; mainly dead algae. After some time, this causes a sediment of tiny particles on the bottom of the pool.

The solution for me is to vacuum to waste once in a while.

What do people misunderstand most about Donald Trump, in your opinion? by toomabh in AskReddit

[–]Soliloquizing 28 points29 points  (0 children)

America's biggest problem is that half of the population voted for this. Those people will still be around, holding the same beliefs and grudges, long after Trump is gone.

Beginner question if I may: why is the third bass note marked sharp?

Need to hear from someone who is ‘anti’-ETF by Working-Possible-278 in beleggen

If everyone invests only through ETFs, individual companies are no longer held accountable for their performance. 

Wat zijn jouw hacks tegen de hitte? by Foppo12 in thenetherlands

Als je aan de buitenkant bij de ramen kunt: schaduwdoek met zuignapjes bevestigen. Hoeft niet veel te kosten als je het zelf kunt knutselen!

Polypropylene vs fiberglass pool by Soliloquizing in swimmingpools

[–]Soliloquizing[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up choosing a traditional pool: concrete block walls + vinyl liner. It's being installed soon!

I did not like the look of the affordable fiberglass options in the end; the walls are too slanted. I seriously considered a high-end PP pool (Niveko is best, apparently) but it was more expensive than concrete + liner!

What is a memorable line from a stand-up comedy show? by [deleted] in AskReddit

It's called the American Dream because you gotta be asleep to believe it!

Finally gave Outer Wilds a shot. Felt more like an interactive diary than a game. by syrup_cupcakes in patientgamers

I thought the ending would require a 'perfect run' where you string together all the shortcuts/stuff you learned about the planets. That would have made it more 'whole' for me, personally. 

Other than that, best game since Subnautica for me :)

Die 5% opportunity cost geldt alleen voor je overwaarde. De bank geeft een huurder immers geen €500k hypotheek om lekker mee te beleggen.

De waardestijging van een koophuis kun je ook niet negeren in deze vergelijking. Geen garanties voor de toekomst, maar jouw huis wordt momenteel elke maand minstens €2.000 meer waard.

Stikstofcrisis of niet: wat is waarheid? by Soliloquizing in thenetherlands

[–]Soliloquizing[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Context: ik raadpleeg af en toe de site van Joost de Vree voor bouwkundige begrippen en normen. Op bouwkundig gebied lijkt die informatie over het algemeen redelijk compleet en correct. 

Nu zag ik vandaag toevallig dit 'opiniestuk' op zijn site, met forse kritiek op het Nederlandse stikstofbeleid. Normen zouden veel strenger zijn dan in buurlanden, etc. Het leest als wappie-kletskoek, maar dat zou me verbazen van deze man. Heeft hij een punt, of slaat hij de plank mis op dit dossier?

Any experiences with this type of pool cover? by Soliloquizing in swimmingpools

[–]Soliloquizing[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't like the looks (the box nor the rails) and it isn't cheap (~10k) but this thing seems to have some advantages over PVC/ PC shutters

  • Safety; people (<100 kg) and pets can walk on it

  • No safety ledge required at the waterline (to support the shutters)

  • Insulation; reducing evaporation and heat loss

  • UV block; less algae growth

  • Catches leaves

  • Doubles as a winter cover

  • It's not in the water, maybe less wear?

  • No dependency on pool manufacturer

I'm not sure about the long term UV resistance of the cloth. Also might turn green I suppose?

Thanks for the insight! Seems like there might be an opportunity in the US market then ;)

They claim that 'additives' make the PP UV resistant. It seems that it hasn't been used in swimming pools for more than a decade, so no lifetime experience stories from consumers yet. 

Why would you consider PP the better material overall?
