It’s all about using electricity to power the movement of water. As electricity becomes more costly in dollars, it also is becomes more costly in pollution.
Did you know that each kWh produced by coal-burning power plants contributes 1.9 pounds of pollutants to our atmosphere!
For Example: A 230 volt – 1.5hp pool pump will use about 640KWH per month – about $83.20 per month. That 640KWH/Month X 1.9lbs = 1216 lbs per month X 12 = 14,592 lbs per year!
This means a single solar pool pump installation can prevent that 14,592 pounds of pollutants from entering our atmosphere each year and run the Solar Pool Pump for FREE!
Solar Pool Pumps are quiet, cool, efficient and long-lasting. These D/C pumps bring solar power to your pool allowing it to run pollution free while reducing your monthly electric bill.
Other benefits include:
1. Completely eliminates the 2nd highest energy usage on your electric bill
2. A 30% Federal Tax Credit Off the Purchase & Installation
3. Florida Sales tax exemption of up to 7.5% more (varies by county)
4. Virtually maintenance-free for residential & commercial use
5. Can power the solar pool pump with existing pool heaters and automatic pool cleaners
6. Up to $16,000 in added home value
7. One-day installation (after permits are secured)
8. Power Your Solar Pool Motor for Free and Save on your electric bill
9. If you live in the islands – like the Bahamas or the Caribbean – this is a perfect solution for moving water, operating pools or agricultural projects.
10. The Solar Powered Pool Pump System has a very long life span
- 20-5 years for the solar panels
- 8-12 years for the motor

With the new announcement from Google about an upcoming OS in 2010, the issue of which operating system to use keeps coming back. Apple has been constant with the Mac and the stellar applications to keep their users happy. Microsoft’s introduction of Vista two years ago has created a riff amoung Windows users over software issues as well as the treats of dropping XP (which many users decided was more stable for their needs) has created an opportunity for a more competition.
We have seen many articles, posts, forums and debates over operating systems – Windows, Unix, Linux and Apple. Now Google will add their Chrome product to the mix.
I think everything comes down to how each person needs to handle their computing needs. The applications we need to use to get our work or play accomplished is the foundation of why we need a computer. Some applications will work on many Operating Systems, but some are very specific.
The basic Internet user wants to surf the net, read e-mail, tweet and dive into the social networking side of life – will be happy with most any OS products. The power users, software developers and higher end applications will more targeted in their needs.
Take your time and think about your needs before diving in.

These are but a few of the OS’s out there.
Applications first, then how is the support, finally decide on what platform.
