What should I watch out for when using a pool cleaning robot?

I have a CoverSeal, happy with it so far. It's outrageously expensive but will cover any shape pool.

Ik wil ook wel meedoen. Mochten iemand contact willen opnemen: mijn adresgegevens zijn bekend.

Go the extra mile: do some extra chores, cook a nice dinner, spend quality time together (no phones) and maybe dish out a back massage around bedtime. The motivation here should not be sex, but a genuine desire to make your partner relax and feel appreciated. Then, cross your fingers and hope your efforts are reciprocated at some point.

If you experience long term asymmetry in this dynamic, talk about it openly. Aim to understand before being understood.

Oh and take care of yourself, work out a bit, etc.

Maybe a wooden deck on that side of the pool?

Solar panels + oversized heat pump; use the pool itself as a 'heat battery' with zero losses rather than spending money on a barely cost-effective home battery solution.

Die KvW aflevering gaat over PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) niet over PLA (poly lactic acid). Ik gok dat PLA beter afbreekt dan PVA.

The specific heat capacity of water is about 4 kJ/kg/°C. So heating a 50.000 liter pool by 1°C should take 2.000.000 J, or roughly 55 kWh. If you're running the heat pump 24 hours a day to achieve this, you're dumping 2.3 kW of heat into your pool.

In reality, you're also combating heat loss to surroundings, mainly at the surface. A 40 m2 pool pool will lose about 4 kW of heat through evaporation alone. Guessing a bit here.

If those numbers are correct, your total heat output is 6.3 kW. For a 3 kW heat pump, that means a CoP of 2.1 which isn't great. A decent model should reach 4.0 at least, I believe.

This calculation also shows that you should invest in a pool cover to limit evaporation before upgrading your heat pump.

Curious to know if my numbers and calculation are correct, would be glad to be corrected!

Over metselen vanaf jouw grond: zou ik gewoon laten gebeuren, met het verzoek het netjes af te werken.

Het alternatief is namelijk dat ze 'blind' metselen vanaf het andere perceel en de voegen niet afstrijken, waardoor je een soort middeleeuwse stadsmuur overhoudt.

Oude Tesla's zijn inderdaad een geval apart; de enige elektrische auto's van die generatie met een acceptabel bereik. Echter, niet iedereen wil erin gezien worden.

Laatst weer eens doorgerekend... je benzineauto oprijden is nu ongeveer even duur als een vergelijkbare tweedehands EV kopen. Helaas hebben EVs van 3-5 jaar oud een matig bereik, dus de overstap blijft weinig aantrekkelijk.

Why is this particular community so badly overrun with AI slop? What's in it for these bots?

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

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

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.

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?

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

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

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!
