In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Use brushes, cleaners, and debris catching devices to remove surface dirt and excessive amounts of leaves or branches. This is the level at which your pool operates best. A pool skimmer is a device that attracts the surface water of the pool. It pulls in small debris, like leaves and other things that might have fallen into the pool. A few inconvenient, and potentially damaging, things can happen if the water level is too high or too low for the skimmer. If the water level is too high, the water moves too slowly into the skimmer. This can result in debris bypassing the skimmer and accumulating in the pool. If the water level is too low, the skimmer is left with little to suck in and it can bottom out. It will suck in air instead, potentially burning your pool's motor pump. The action of vacuuming causes the water level to decrease, which is why you need to add water beforehand. There are three basic filtration types: Sand filters: these filters are made of metal, fiberglass, or concrete and they contain a solid bed of specific sand. The sand does the job of trapping debris. Change the sand in the filter every five years. Cartridge filters: these filters allow water to seep through a fine filtrating surface. This filter keeps the impurities it catches until you clean it. An advantage of cartridge filters over sand ones, is that they have a greater surface area, which results in fewer clogs and easy maintenance. Replace them every 3-5 years. Diatomaceous earth filters: these filters contain porous bone material, which easily filters debris. Installing a DE filter is quite simple, as you place it directly into the skimmer. Backwashing and replacement/addition of a new DE has to be done once or twice a year. Your pool filters are some of the most important tools for your pool, and need to stay very clean. So make sure to remember them in your pool care routine.
Summary: Manually clean your pool daily, if possible. Keep your pool's water between 1/3 and 1/2 way up the opening of the pool skimmer. Pour in water before backwashing and vacuuming. Be aware of different filtration systems. Remember to maintain your filters.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Once your potatoes are shredded, put them in a mixing bowl filled with water. There should be enough water to completely submerge the shredded potatoes. This will remove some of the starch from the potatoes and maintain good color in the browns. Use your clean hands to fish the potatoes out of the water. Squeeze the shreds lightly to remove water from them without destroying their shape. Pile the shreds in the center of a clean dish towel. Wring the towel to remove any remaining moisture from the potatoes. But first, set the heat to high and coat the skillet's bottom with butter. When the skillet is coated, turn the heat down to medium-high, and spread the shredded potatoes in the skillet in an even layer. Wait until the shredded potatoes are golden brown on the bottom. Lift the potatoes with your spatula periodically to check their progress. When ready, flip the potatoes and cook the other side in the same fashion. Sprinkle a little salt and pepper onto the hash browns or serve them plain. Hash browns make an excellent side for most breakfast foods, including eggs, pancakes and omelets.
Summary: Soak shredded potatoes in water. Squeeze out the shredded potatoes. Cook the potatoes at medium-high heat. Flip the potatoes to brown them on both sides. Season the hash browns and enjoy.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: No one likes to kiss an ash tray or a mouth full of onion and garlic flavor. Pop a breath mint in before you go in to kiss her. It also wouldn't hurt to do a quick check-up in a mirror first, if possible, to make sure you don't have anything in your teeth. If no mirror is available, run your tongue around your teeth to make sure they're clean. Rough lips are a turn off. If your lips are all cracked and gross, she's probably not going to want to kiss you. Try using lip balm regularly, and don't be afraid to put a bit on leading up to the kiss. You can discreetly put some lip gloss on by going to the bathroom or by looking away for a moment. Don't put too much on, as you don't want to create an oil slick for kissing. Try to pick a romantic spot. For instance, in a park by a river is nice, much better than, say, the back alley behind a restaurant. Also, try to choose a place where there aren't too many people around. If people are milling around, it can kill the romance. Try to pick a place she feels comfortable. If she's not comfortable, the kiss won't be enjoyable for her. If you haven't quite got up the nerve, even though you've asked, you can stall a bit by touching her face. You can also gentle tilt her head towards you so you can kiss her more easily. Always be looking for signs of nonverbal communication. For instance, if you reach out to touch her and she pulls away, you should stop. Once you've stopped and picked the perfect spot plus got her consent, it's time to go in for the kiss. Lean in closer, puckering lips a bit as you go. You want to make sure they have some definition to them for kissing, so your girlfriend has something to kiss. If she pulls away, let her. When you're ready, pull back again. If this relationship is still new, you may be a little nervous. If you are, don't worry, the hard part is over. Just relax and enjoy the kiss. Focus on enjoying the moment. Try not to think about whether you're doing it right or what's going to happen in a few minutes. This tip is to help you out, not because of who's standing around. That is, a little tongue is okay, but no one likes to be attacked by a tongue like a dog. Keep it tasteful. For instance, you can try lightly licking across her lips, but try not to lap her whole face.
Summary:
Make sure you're fresh. Take care of your lips. Pick a good place. Cradle or touch her face. Lean in for the kiss. Relax into the kiss. Keep your tongue under control.
