Article: This will raise the alkalinity of the water by 10 ppm. Adjust the values to determine how much baking soda you need to add for the volume of your pool. For example, if you want to go from 60 ppm to 80 ppm in a 10,000USgal (38,000L) pool, you would add 2.5 pounds (1,100g) of baking soda. Adding too much baking soda to the water at a time could raise the pH of the water. Let the baking soda settle and mix with the water before adding more. If you need to raise the alkalinity further, wait until the next day to add more baking soda. Use a circular motion as you pour the baking soda. It may cause some cloudiness in the water initially. The baking soda will sink to the bottom of the pool and settle before it begins mixing. To avoid cloudiness in the water, pour the baking soda directly into the skimmer. Your pool water needs to pump and circulate through a full cycle before you retest the water. Check the alkalinity using your test kit. Let the pool run for a full pump cycle, which takes about 10 hours, before swimming. If your alkalinity levels are still off after the first baking soda treatment, add more baking soda to reach the desired ppm.

Add 1.25lb (570g) of baking soda per 10,000USgal (38,000L) of water. Use only 2 pounds (910g) of baking soda per day. Pour the baking soda into the deep end of the pool. Retest the water after 10 hours and make further adjustments if necessary.
Article: To remove stubborn adhesive residue, dip a corner of the microfiber cloth in rubbing alcohol. Once again, use tight, circular motions to scrub off the sticker goo. If glue residue is still sticking around, dip your cloth in alcohol (or vinegar diluted with water) again. Place the cloth onto the sticky area, and let it sit for 2 to 3 minutes. That should dissolve any remaining stubborn gunk. Rubbing alcohol shouldn't discolor or damage the plastic or aluminum used for laptop casings. However, if you want to stay on the safe side, check the area every 30 to 60 seconds. Cut off a 2 to 3in (5.1 to 7.6cm) piece of duct tape (or other sturdy, sticky tape). Fold over a small portion of an end to make a non-sticky handle, then rub the sticky surface of the tape over the adhesive residue. If there's any stickiness left over after using the duct tape, wipe it away with a cloth dipped in hot water or rubbing alcohol. Using light pressure, wipe the sticky spot with a nylon or melamine foam scrub pad, such as a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. Soak it with water first and give it a go. If water alone doesn't remove the gunk, try adding a drop of dish soap or dab the pad with rubbing alcohol. Rub the sticky area with the scrub pad gently. Nylon and melamine foam scrub pads are mildly abrasive, so be careful not to scratch the surface of your laptop. A blow dryer can melt and loosen glue, but it should be one of the last methods you try. Set it to low or medium, and aim it at the gunk for about 30 seconds. Then see if you can get rid of the remaining residue using a cloth, putty knife, or credit card. Even though your computer is off and unplugged, you don't want to risk overheating it or damaging its internal parts. Stick to a low or medium setting, and use it in 30-second intervals to avoid getting your laptop too hot.

Use 90% rubbing alcohol if the damp cloth didn't do the trick. Hold an alcohol-soaked cloth over the area if wiping it didn't work. Slide tape over the stuck-on residue if you didn't have luck with alcohol. Try using a mildly abrasive scrub pad if a cloth didn't work. Use a blow dryer to loosen the gunk if all else fails.
Article: Discard any damaged chilies, since they won't keep well in the freezer. If you have small peppers that you'd like to freeze whole, you can simply put them in a freezer bag. Use a straw to suck out the excess air, then seal and label the bag before placing it in the freezer. Pack the bag as tightly as possible, so there's little extra air in the bag. Air will make the peppers spoil faster. Freeze for several months. When you want to use the peppers, simply leave them out to thaw or blanch them in boiling water for a few seconds. Bigger peppers can be sliced into strips or chunks you can easily use in a recipe later on. Slice them lengthwise or into chunks and remove the seeds. Lay the pieces on a baking sheet and freeze them for an hour. This is called flash freezing. Put the pieces in a storage bag and remove the extra air. Store in the freezer for up to several months.
