Corrosive materials “acids”, can attack and destroy body tissues on contact as well as damaging metal. The degree of damage depends on it’s concentration on the specific corrosive chemical. A corrosive chemical begins to cause damage as soon as it comes into contact with the metal or, in the case of body: the eyes, skin, mouth, throat, stomach, or respiratory tract.

If you are looking into Maricopa AZ Homes with Pools, you should read the (MSDS) material safety data sheet, or product label for the chemicals that you will be needing and using on a regular basis. You should understand the specific effects of that chemical on tissues or metals and what precautions to take, what procedures to follow in case of a spill, and first aid in the event of contact with body.

First let’s discuss the temperature. In the warmer months the warmest part of the water is closest to the surface due to the sun and temperature of the air. During the cooler months the warmest water sinks deeper to more than 10 feet so the coldest water is closer to the surface. The bass like the cooler water. So in warmer months the bass will be near structures in deeper water and in cool months they will want to be at around a depth of 10 feet or shallower.

Second we’ll talk about their metabolism. Their metabolism slows down during winter when the temperature of the water gets colder. This forces them to eat much less and basically only go after only what slowly floats by. So when it’s warmer try to fish in water that’s deeper than 10 feet using small plastic lures with split shot or a jig setup. In the cooler months, fish at around 10 feet or shallower using the same lures and setup, and always use a slow retrieve!

1. Do an audit of energy use - A good place to start -reveal where you are using the most energy and where you are wasting it. The average US home uses these percentages on energy consumption: 12% on cooling, 12% on water heating 31% on heating, 12% on cooling, 12% on heating water, and 29% on appliances, lighting, and electronics.

2. Insulation – 43% of the energy used in our homes goes towards heating and cooling. This is a great place to start in going green. Insulation of your outside walls, attic and basement walls is key.  Blown in insulation have made it easier to insulate these previously difficult areas. Seek professional advice before taking on a project such as this yourself.

3. Doors and Windows, Seal them - One of the worst areas of engery loss are doors and windows. Do a throughough check around your doors, windows, ceilings, switches, electrical outlets and plumbing fixtures. Cracks and holes around thesse areas can leak energy in our out of your home.

4. Less useage of hot water – Turn the water heater temperature down a bit. Consider a blanket for the water heater. Consider replacing some appliances with Energy Star appliances (a tax credit may be available) see engerystar.gov. Instead of using hot water for washing clothes, use warm water. Take shorter showers, and don’t run the hot water while shaving or washing. Dishwasher useage should only be when it is full.

5. Turn off those appliances  – When appliances and lights are not being used, they should be turned off. Many appliances even use electricy even when they are plugged in so if you aren’t using them, unplug them.  Use the energy saving features on your computer to shut down when not in use. 

6. Lighting -  This is a great area for significant savings, since about 11% of the average home’s energy usage goes to lighting. Changing to CFL bulbs will save anywhere from 50 to 75% per bulb. And again making sure lights not in use are turned off.
