The Best Energy Efficient Variable Speed Pool Pumps

Finding the best pool pumps to keep electricity bills low

Pentair 011018 IntelliFlo Variable Speed Pump

Did you know a new pool pump could significantly reduce your monthly bills, while keeping your pool comfortable and safe? 


It's true. A variable speed pool pump will allow you to continuously churn the water in your above-ground pool or inground pool. This keeps the chemicals, like chlorine, thoroughly mixed into the water and prevents water from becoming stagnant. Of course, it also prevents dirt and grime from building up in the pool water too.

When you have a pump with a single speed instead of variable it means you can only run it for a few hours a day unless you want to completely blow your electricity budget. Experts recommend you run your pump for at least four hours a day during warm weather to prevent chemicals from settling to the bottom of your pool water, among other things.

During the hottest days of the year, your single-speed pool pump can run for 12 consecutive hours or more. This keeps the water safe and inviting, but it can blow your electricity budget out of the water. Depending on the characteristics of your pump, it can also create a hubub with the neighbors. Older single-speed pool pumps aren't known for their quiet features!

We especially like the Intelliflow and MaxFlow pool pumps featured here.

While it might cost $1200 or more to install a new model, you'll save $60 - $100 or more in electricity every month during the heat of the summer.

Are you looking for a new pool pump which will perform well in the long run and cut your costs? Make sure you check out the latest variable-speed pool pumps.

Dyson Cinetic Big Ball Animal Plus Allergy Vacuum ... RECOMMENDED

 

Dyson Cinetic Big Ball Animal Plus Allergy Vacuum

 Every once in a while, Dysons go on really big sale on Amazon, allowing you to snatch up a brand new (or certified refurbished) unit for less than half or even less than the regular price. The cost of the animal plus allergy unit is $699, so this is a huge savings. 

Are Dysons really worth that kind of money?

Yes. The design of the Dyson vacuum creates a suction that surpasses other models and picks up more of what you don't want (i.e. HAIR) laying around your house, your furniture, etc.

Further, the vacuum has a HEPA filter that traps hair dander and other allergens. This is the only way some of us can live with our pets. I've talked about all of our furbabies before. They're dear to my heart -- just not to my nose!

For people with severe allergies, this is the perfect vacuum for spring in areas with lots of vegetation budding and kicking up pollen.

In addition to the BIG benefits, having tried so many different vacuums to help with our pet's hair, I can say for certain that it's just much, much easier to use. You push a button to empty, for instance. Just very user friendly, and definitely worth those sale prices. Click the photo above to check current pricing.

Young Living Essentials ... NOT Recommended

Young Living Essentials EO Party Plan

Want a Young Living Alternative? Click Here!
This company sells high-quality essential oils and related products at CRAZY ASS prices! You don't have to spend a fortune to access trustworthy essential oils. I'm talking the difference of $70+ a bottle in some cases, so please... RUN.

I'm a big fan of Edens Garden essential oils. They're not a party plan. They fully source their merchandise, and they're on Amazon!

That site has tons of difusers as well, so if you're looking to work EOs into your daily care in a way that doesn't break your budget, check Edens Garden out ... and forget about this party plan company.

Young Living is NOT Recommended!

NuFit Dumbbells ... RECOMMENDED!

NuFit Dumbbells

Want Ripped Arms? CLICK NOW!

Taking care of your body is ultimately the most important thing you can do today for the old you of tomorrow. I took care of my grandparents and of my aging great aunt (who in the end was deaf, blind and am amputee) so trust me when I say, it's worth investing a little more to really prepare your body for old age!

There's been a lot of talk about NuFit Dumbbells, and whether they're a gimmick or not. They were expensive, but Amazon has an easy return system, so I wasn't too worried about it. Basically, all we have to do is drive down to the UPS Store and drop things off, so... I decided to try out the yellow. I believe they're also available in orange and blue/gray, but yellow gets me pumped!

NuFit is a great company with products that allow you to fully work your muscles while protecting your joints. The same is true of the NuFit Dumbbells, and it looks like I'm not the only one who feels that way. The reviews repeat the same idea of, "Wow... so this whole time I've not really be lifting??" You will feel ALL of your muscles after the first few times you use these babies, so take it easy. Don't just jump straight into your routine, because your muscles aren't going to be prepared for this stuff. Cut back a little and take a few days to warm up to the changes.

Use these and your arms will look AWESOME. Recommended!

Owens Corning Acoustic Insulation to Block Noise from Neighbors ... RECOMMENDED

Owens Corning Acoustic Insulation 


Click here!
Our apartment is amazing, but the walls are fairly thin, so we wanted something to block our noise from the rest of the neighbors. These panels work much better than regular acoustic wall cover, but we initially went with them to prevent from damaging the walls. They're insulation boards, you put up and then cover in fabric. There's special acoustic fabric you can use, but I don't believe it's necessary.

Installation took a few days, and it was more expensive than I thought at first. Definitely figure all the costs in before you begin. It's less expensive than traditional acoustic foam wall cover though because you won't have to make major repairs when you move. Our landlord was very concerned when we told him our first idea, and then we realized you have to use a special glue to lay those tiles down to really work.

These are much easier, less messy and they look better on the walls in my opinion. A wonderful option for blocking out noisy neighbors or to contain noise in your own home, whether you're a musician, wookworker, serial killer (haha) or whatever. RECOMMENDED.

Zicam Cold Remedy - Pre Cold and Flu ... RECOMMENDED

Click Here!

ZICAM Cold Remedy

We play D&D twice a week in a small, intimate shop downtown. It's the absolute best setup imaginable, but a lot of the guys are completely clueless when it comes to being considerate of other people. They'll show up hacking and sneezing and expect you to comfortably sit at a table with them for 10+ hours. My boyfriend rolls with it, but I have a very sensitive immune system and get sick very easily. I spent Halloween - my favorite holiday! - home sick and miserable because of these guys, so I was really excited when I saw what was called the "Pre-Cold Medicine."

This stuff works great, and it's so much easier to take than Airbourne. Those products, even the ones specifically for kids, leave me feeling sick. Plus, you have to drink so much to protect yourself that you wind up spending a bundle.

Purchased over Amazon, ZICAM is not as expensive as in the store, and it's so worth it. I went through most of the winter and spring without catching anything, despite spending many late nights with friends who were a few steps away from walking pneumonia.

If you have trouble staying well or if you're often forced to be around people who are ill, try this. You won't regret it!
