Yes, we all love to jump and play in the pool whether it’s ours, the local pool, our neighbor’s, or even the pool at the gym.
But have you ever actually stopped and thought about what it takes to run a pool?
Chances are, probably not, unless you have had to fork over loads of money to get your pool up and running.
It’s not as though the pool is just there and it automatically starts working by the snap of your fingers without having to ever do anything to it.
Although that would be quite nice, it’s a little unrealistic I do believe.
So we have pool pumps, pool filters, pool cleaners, pool chemicals, pool motors, pool covers, pool lights, and what I find to be very important in my opinion, the
pool heater
.
Why is the pool heater so important?
Well, I don’t know about you but I despise getting into a pool that is cold enough to almost form an ice skating rink with!
On the contrary, some people do like it cold because they feel that it wakes them up or gives them a sudden burst of energy.
For me, no thank you, I rather wake up a different way!
It’s interesting how your pool would not function properly without one of these parts.
What a disappointment that would be if you were planning a pool party with your family and friends when all of a sudden, kerplunk.
You hear this odd noise coming from around the pool area and you send your “pool guy” out to examine it.
The “pool guy” regrets to inform you that you need a new pool heater.
With an hour left until the party you head down to the pool store to get your important part.
Now, I know that when I am out and about running errands, I sometimes get distracted, and I guarantee some of you do too.
So before you get into the store you walk by a sign that reads, “Sign up today for Karate at
Martial Arts Mesa
and get two free classes.”
This is perfect you think to yourself.
I have always wanted to do this and it would be great for the whole family.
So you take a little detour from your destination and sign the family up.
Luckily, you return back home with the part in hand and manage to convince your significant other to replace it just in time for the pool party.
The party, as usual, is a big hit with twenty people that ended up showing up.
Burgers were being flipped on the grill, the kids were having swimming competitions, and your cousin couldn’t stop talking about this
HCG Weight Loss Diet
that she was on and how she has lost all this weight.
It was clear; she had shed some pounds and managed to look amazing in her bathing suite.
“So what exactly is this diet about,” you ask her?
As she begins to go on and on you drown her out with your thoughts of how exhausted you are from this hectic day.
Yes, all this work just to get the pool working properly, but seeing your family and friends splashing around ecstatically makes it worth all the while, now doesn’t it?
