Get cheaper heating oil

Yes, it is posible, you can get cheaper heating oil. And no, you do not have to find a supply of oil in your back garden in order to do this.

So if you use oil based heating (and there are over a million homes in the UK that do) all you hav to do is get involved with a heating oil buying group.

Easier said then done you might say?

Well, you could not be further from the truth - There is a website that is committed to getting buyers of heating oil cheaper prices, but I’d be suprised if you had heard of it.

Well let me introduce you to the world of BoilerJuice (quite a catchy name). So how will BoilerJuice save you money? Easy, you work together in buying groups.

The bigger your sepecific buying group, the bette the discount you will receive from the oil supplier. Buying from BoilerJuice will get  as your own little co-operative.

The image to the left shows how the buying group works - Where you may have four households all buying oil seperately they are incurring extra costs. By combining the power of the four households you have a buying community, and more essentially, cheaper heating oil prices.

Nice Thinking
So how do you get mucked-in with a buying group? The system BoilerJuice have built lets others in your area know there are other people looking to buy heating oil - hey presto - a buying group can be formed. With heating oil buying groups it really is the more the merrier!

There is quite a lot of feedback about BoilerJuice on MoneySavingExpert, plus you can also find more information from the main BoilerJuice - UK site and BoilerJuice - Ireland site.

Swimming Pool Green Algae - Friend or Foe?

Have you got green algae in your swimming pool? Here are four top tips to prevent this pesty algae from happening.

Green Algae Prevention - Tip 1
Chlorine levels must be kept to an acceptable level. For prevention it is always better to be on the high side of the normal PH range to prevent green algae.

Green Algae Prevention - Tip 2
Give your swimming pool the schock treatment! Use highly concentrated chemicals for this task. You can use simple baking soda if you ever run out of chemicals for the pool. Baking soda is an inexpensive alternative and handy solution that many households would naturally have.

Green Algae Prevention - Tip 3
Save money and place a solar cover on your pool every night. Ensuring your swimming pool is covered properly will prevent rubbish from getting into the water, making it easier to keep the swimming pool clean.

Green Algae Prevention - Tip 4
Test thoroughly! When testing water go down at least 12 inches when testing the chlorine levels. Testing surface water is not as accurate. Always ensure you follow the instructions on the chlorine test kit you have purchased.
