Hur man bekämpar ogräs
De så kallade ogräs representerar ungefär 1% av världens flora och deras okontrollerade tillväxt är ibland mycket skadlig, bland annat för att de avkortar eller hindrar tillväxten av andra specifikt odlade arter , vilket hindrar den senare från att utvecklas under optimala förhållanden. Det räcker med att säga i denna mening att ogräs stjäl ljus och näringsämnen från de önskade grödorna och till och med kan sprida patogener som försämrar deras kvalitet och därför är bekämpning av dem en uppgift som aldrig bör skjutas upp.
Prepare your pool for the winter
At the end of the summer and, with it, the hot season, the time has come to condition your pool for the winter. Whether you decide to conserve the water or not, you must take a series of basic measures to ensure that your pool continues to be in optimum condition next year. There are several questions that should be asked and that we at Pool Fun will clarify for you: Should the pool be covered? Covering the pool during the winter, without emptying its contents, is the best option, since on the one hand it achieves a more stable temperature, which means that the cost of maintenance products is lower, and on the other hand it protects the pool from the fall of earth, leaves and other agents that contribute to the process of water decomposition. Could the pool be left uncovered and treated with special products? It is possible, but it is not the most recommendable option, as it would require continuous maintenance and that the purifier is working for a longer period of time, in addition to requiring a greater quantity of maintenance products, with the consequent accumulation of residues. What is the best way to cover the pool during the winter? The best alternative is that offered by PVC fabric covers, as they are resistant to tearing and traction. These covers have a double purpose: - To protect people and pets from possible falls. - To conserve the water of the swimming pool, containing the leaves that may fall in autumn and, at the same time, preventing the sun from coming into contact with the water and causing the proliferation of organic matter. What tasks are essential in preparing the pool for the winter? The first step is to carry out a thorough cleaning, which includes brushing the walls of the pool, thoroughly cleaning the pool and checking that the pump basket and suction nozzles are free of leaves and debris. It is also necessary to check that the water's pH values are between 7.2 and 7.5. If this is not the case, use pH regulators until these parameters are reached. In order to prepare the swimming pool well for the winter you should also carry out a shock chlorination, treatment that consists of pouring a greater quantity of chlorine into the water than normal. This amount will ultimately depend on the size of your pool, but is usually between two and four times the usual amount. The cleaning of the filters is also fundamental and must be done with properly approved products. Once the appropriate pH values have been established and the correct operation of the filter has been verified, it is time to add the winterising product for water maintenance, using the dosage recommended by the manufacturer. It is important to distribute it well throughout the pool, for which it is necessary for the filter to be working, as this will ensure that the distribution of the product is homogeneous throughout the water. Depending on the weather conditions, it is advisable to proceed with a second application of the winterising product in January or February. Go to Pool Fun and find everything you need for your pool, both greenhouses and chlorine and any other maintenance product. What is the essential running time of the pool purifier in winter? It is recommended that the purification equipment works for about 15 to 30 minutes a day, as this prevents the electronic equipment from having problems with humidity. On the other hand, if there is no cover for the pool, it is necessary to periodically remove any objects that may have fallen into the water, as well as to pass the pool cleaner regularly. Other Pool fun tips If you decide not to empty the water in the pool, it is very important that the temperature of the water is below 15ºC. In the case of particularly cold climates, it is advisable to lower the water level below the skimmers, as well as to place some floating object on the surface of the pool to act as a buffer against possible ice pressure. In temperate climates, it is advisable to operate the filter periodically when possible. If you follow these Pool Fun tips, when the summer season arrives again, your pool will be in perfect working condition. That said, go to Pool Fun and find everything you need for your pool.

Find out why good drainage in the garden is important
Your garden can be a real visual spectacle for family recreation or a sad pond of puddles. This contrast of views is marked by one crucial factor: the drainage system. In this special post from Brycus you will learn how to recognize when a garden has good or bad drainage, the possible problems caused by an inefficient drainage system, how to correct the inconvenience and the advantages of having a healthy garden. Find paper and pencil and let's get started!Your garden's drainage system is failing: Learn to recognize itTo find out if your garden drainage is having problems, implement one of Brycus' three checkpoint systems: rain, water, or hole.The rain check system consists of measuring the amount of time your garden spends drying out after a heavy rainfall. If after 3 to 4 days the soil looks waterlogged or very wet it means your drainage is bad.There is also the watering test. Water your plants with plenty of water. If you have a good drainage system it is assumed that the second or third day after that the soil should be free of puddles. Now, if the days go by and your soil looks saturated with water something is not right.Another effective mechanism you can use is to dig a hole in your garden soil about 60 centimeters deep by 60 centimeters in diameter, and then pour water in as far as it will go. If after a few days there is still liquid at the bottom it is a clear sign that you should improve your drainage system. How serious is it to have a bad drainage system?A poor drainage system can harm the plant life in your garden. If your garden's soil is clay, it will accumulate much more water than a sandy one, and then it will drown the roots of plants that are not adapted to more aquiferous soils. Excess water also quickly reproduces fungi such as Armillaria, Fusarium, Rhizoctonia, Phytophthora and Pythium. Although they all live naturally in the soil, a very humid environment is conducive to infecting and killing plants previously weakened by abundant water. Take into account this detail, as many gardens with poor drainage do not allow the growth and splendor of plants.

Maintenance, charging, changing and checking of sand to the pool filter
Loading the sand filter: Why, when and how to do it? Every pool should have a sand filter, whose function is to retain the dirt in the water. In order for this instrument to always work properly, you must take certain measures. What do we mean? PoolFunStore advice has the answer you are looking for below. Also, visit our pool maintenance section. Why it is important to check the sand in the filter If your filter does not have the right volume of sand, it will not work properly. The most important factor in the calculation of this measure is the water flow, that is, the capacity of the filter to treat the water supplied by the pump. To know the recommended sand load for your filter, you should consult the manufacturer's specifications. You can find them in the manual that comes with the product, on the brand's website or on the label attached to the equipment. You haven't bought the filter yet? You can consult a table where the required sand load is related to the water flow it supports. As the months go by, the sand level decreases. That is why it is so important to check it from time to time. If it is in good condition, then add as much as necessary. Approximately every three years, the condition of the sand in the filter should be checked. This means looking at its appearance and consistency. The sand is worn away by time and, above all, by use. So take a good look at its appearance and consistency. Are the granules sparse? Does it feel doughy to the touch? If the answer is yes, it has lost filtering capacity. It's time to make a total replacement. How do you load sand into your pool filter? When the time comes to load the sand, a series of steps must be taken. PoolFunStore tips tell you what they are. 1. Switch off the pump and close the inlet tap to prevent water from flowing through the filter. 2. Drain all the water left in the filter to make it easier to replace the sand. To do this, you will have to open the exhaust valve. Generally, it is enough to remove a screw to allow the water to escape through the bottom of the filter. 3. Remove the top cover of the filter by removing the screws that hold it in place and turning it counter-clockwise. In this way, you will be able to access the inside of the filter to fill it. However, if the sand needs to be replaced, then you should proceed to the next steps: 4. Remove the water diffuser from the filter. This is a system that is located in the central part, and consists of a tube and a device in its upper part. When removing it, there will be a hole with the shape of the diffuser, which must be covered in order to prevent the sand from falling through it. You could use a plastic bag to do this, making sure that it completely covers the opening. 5. Remove the sand. You can use a small shovel, a plastic bottle cut in half or another tool to make this task easier, although a powerful vacuum cleaner would do a faster and more efficient job. 6. Replace the water diffuser. Remove the plastic bag that covers the hole and put the system where it belongs. 7. Fill the filter with new sand. This is usually sold in 25 kg bags. The capacity of your filter will determine the number of bags you will need to buy. Just try not to empty the sand too hard so as not to damage the filter.
