Kinda accidentally ended up with plans of making over all the builds in Sunset Valley, without using custom content (except RH rugs) nor store items. Once done, I’m planning on having a save file with all of them, in the meantime here is the latest one.

OLD PIER BEACH

Remodeling of Old Pier Beach, main beach in Sunset Valley.

Renovated on patch 1.67 -Originally in Sunset Valley so best placed there (Size: 60x37) -  Lot label = Beach . Bard, barista bar, showers, lifegard chair... There is a seasonal marker so different versions of the beach (mostly changed the activities in the sand area) depending on the season.

Using Items from: 

No CC, No Store item

EPs: WA, Ambitions, Late Night, Generations, Pets, Showtime, Seasons, University Life and Island Paradise.

 SPs: High End Loft, Fast Lane, Outdoor Living, Town Life I also own Diesel, 70s,80s &90s pack and Movie Stuff  but I’m pretty sure I haven’t used anything from these in this lot.

Lifegard: Lots of filter space, decent size, very pretty. BUT total volume is just shy of 10 gallons and the usable area for Fisher is around 7.5 gallons, which is less than he has now. Does not come with a lid :/

JBJ: Less filter space but a brand I know better, more space Fisher can use, longer and shallower (which I prefer for bettas). Don't like that I'll have to add a background to it. Comes with a lid and a light but I don't need the light. More expensive but it's my birthday I can do what I want

Wish I had a photo, but the guard stand at my campus pool has a label on it that just says:

'Lifegard Stend'

And every time I see it I lose my mind.

me at any given time: can we just buckle down and focus on the task at hand please???

Precision Aquaculture Market Exhibits Higher Growth Prospects During 2024-2033

Precision aquaculture is a new approach to fish farming that uses advanced technologies to monitor and optimize conditions in fish tanks or ponds in order to maximize growth and yield. This approach can help farmers to reduce costs and increase profits while also ensuring that fish are raised in a healthy and sustainable manner.

Some of the technologies used in precision aquaculture include sensors that measure water temperature, pH, and dissolved oxygen levels; automated feeders that dispense food at precise intervals; and computerized systems that track and record data on the health and growth of individual fish. This information can be used to adjust conditions in the tanks or ponds in real time, ensuring that the fish are always raised in optimal conditions.

Lifeguard Shortages Remain For Milwaukee, Affect Much Of Nation

Many Milwaukee waterfront destinations will be without lifeguards in 2022, as officials across the nation struggle to staff for the summer.

John Quinnies, Patch Staff

MILWAUKEE, WI — This could be the summer of disappointment for local kids — and adults — as local officials struggle to staff Milwaukee County beaches and pools, but the problem isn't unique to Wisconsin.

Nationally, about a third of pools either won't open or will limit hours due to  lifeguard shortages, American Lifeguard Association Director Bernard J. Fisher II told Newsweek. "Regretfully, it's probably going to be the worst summer," he said. "We have 309,000 public pools in the U.S. but we don't have the youth in the ratio to the population."

The COVID-19 pandemic contributed, as it has regarding labor shortages in other aspects of life.

But with lifeguards, it's more complicated than that. The pandemic meant fewer training opportunities both to become lifeguards and to recertify, Fisher told NPR.And on top of that, the lifeguard shortage existed before the pandemic, driven by an abrupt change in immigration policy, Fisher said.

J-1 and other temporary visas that allowed skilled professionals and managers to work in the United States were suspended in April 2020, which President Donald Trump said at the time was to protect American jobs as COVID-19 restrictions increased unemployment. In June, he extended the pause on J-1 work visas and other temporary visas through the end of the year.

"That was the straw in the camel's back that broke everything down," Fisher said. The ban expired under President Biden but Fisher told NPR the lifeguard shortages will persist at least through next year and likely longer. In the meantime, it's important for kids who are novice swimmers to wear U.S. Coast Guard-approved jackets in the water and for groups to designate a water watcher to keep an eye on kids, Fisher said.

To know what drowning looks like, the Coast Guard's On Scene magazine originally published five tips for recognizing drowning that was shared by Slate.

Billy was in a bad mood. It was the first week of summer which was bad enough with the crowds of people flocking to the pool. But on top of that Adam expected Billy to spend all week training three new lifeguards, one of whom was you, who he knew for a fact needed swimming lessons. 

Billy had his suspicions about why Adam hired you. Within three days of working at the pool you had the same effect on the dads in town he had on the moms. He hadn’t minded working with you at first. At least he knew you. The other two just gawked uselessly at him. You irritatingly asked question after question hoping to get everything right the first time. That’s what he’d liked about you back in highschool when you’d trailed around after Carol Perkins. You were a people pleaser. He liked when people tried to please him. 

If he heard his name again today he felt like he might actually kill someone. Billy stepped under the water of the staff shower, stripping out of his clothes, hoping the movement of the water drilling down on his skin would relax him. The smell of chlorine washed off and Billy sighed, staring up at the shower head. He heard the staff room door open out at the front then the door to the staff shower room opened. 

“Billy? Are you in here?” You asked no doubt sent by the others to appease him as he’d already screamed at one of the new lifeguards today. He could hear you running. Six times today he’d told you not to run. Billy shut off the water as he grabbed his towel and grumbled under his breath. Before he could wrap the towel around himself you hurried past and slipped. Billy’s arm shot out and his hand grabbed at your arm to lessen the blow of your fall. 

“How many times do I need to tell you not to fucking run.” Billy said slowly. His voice was harsh and he watched as you looked up at him with wide eyes. For a moment he wondered if perhaps he hadn’t caught you as well as he thought and you’d smacked your head as you looked doe eyed and startled. Looking down at himself he realised it was most likely the fact that he was stark naked and you landed pretty much in eye level with his dick.  “You look confused. Is this the first time you’ve seen someone naked?” 

“No. no.” You stuttered. Billy smirked a little. That was definitely a yes. 

“What do you want?” He asked. He still had a firm grip on your arm but you made no effort to move. He watched your eyes stray down his body a few times but he could see you desperately trying to look anywhere else but his dick. You looked up at him dumbly and he sighed. “You came running in here for something.” 

“I don’t remember.” You said quietly and looked quite embarrassed. Billy smiled to himself realising he was the one who had dazed you. “Oh. Adam said he wanted you.”

“What the fuck does he want now.” Billy’s words made you look more startled as he forced you up to your feet and let you go, wrapping his towel around himself. “Well?”

“He. wants you to show the new lifegard how to lock up the pool floats.” You answered quietly. He glared at you as you opened your mouth to add to the list but he held up his finger.

“Tell that motherfucker that I have been here training you morons since six am. He’s lucky I’ve stayed fifteen minutes after closing and not quit on him like everyone else.” Billy snapped. He looked down at the towel for a moment, securing it and reaching for his trunks that lay in a wet heap at the bottom of the shower. He swore when he looked up and you were gone. 

As he went to his locker he heard the staff doors opening. He glanced at the shower doors expecting Adam to come in and yell at him. You burst through instead, still running. You slipped again skidding and keeping your balance but almost colluding face first into Billy’s chest because he refused to move and you were a good foot and half shorter than him.

“No running.” You said sheepishly before Billy could open his mouth to say it. He rolled his eyes and opened his locker. “What did he say?” 

“Um. He. He said, ``You have to stay?” You stuttered it in a way that made Billy glare down at you. He leaned in, looking you in the eye with a face of thunder. His finger wrapped around your wrist to stop you fleeing. “Is that really what he said?” Billy asked. He could tell that you were lying. You were easy to read. Your eyes were wide and you stood in his grip like a caught baby rabbit. Nodding slowly he mimicked you, nodding his head with a fiery look in his eyes. Slowly, through gritted teeth he said. “What. Exactly did he say to you?”

“He. He said that he was going home and you had to finish up and he doesn’t give a. Sh. shit that you have been her all day. If everything on his list doesn’t get done he’ll dock your pay for the whole week.” You stuttered out, shrinking under Billy’s glare. It made Billy smile a little when you stuttered and almost whispered the word shit as if it was the first time you’d sworn. The smile didn’t last long though as he stormed towards the exit still in just a towel. “But we almost locked up the snack bar and got the pool floats away and we…” You were babbling on as you hurried after Billy. Running yet again to keep pace with him. He turned so suddenly you yelped audibly as he glared at you.

“Stay there.” He snapped at you and walked to the shower room doors. He could hear you plodding after him so he turned. “I said stay. Fucking. There!”  He snapped and pointed to a spot on the floor, pulling you to stand on it. He gestured with a pointed finger that you should stay. Doing what he asked, seeing as he looked furious you waited. You could hear him yelling and screaming at people outside the doors. He was gone so long that your feet started to ache. You hopped from one foot to the other wondering if Billy was serious about you staying put. Just as you decided that maybe you could leave and ask to not be on the same shift as Billy for a while he burst back into the room. 

“At least one of you can fucking listen.” He grumbled as he passed you. Pausing to grab your face in his hands, squishing your cheeks a little. “Good girl.” His words made your body tingle pleasantly. 

“Can I go now?” You asked. He sighed, yanking his stuff out of his locker and stomping towards the doors.

“No. You go home when I do.” He said. As he passed you by he paused and sighed. “You can follow me now.”

“Have you worked here long? Adam did my interview. I was supposed to work at the front desk but he said I was too cute to not wear a lifeguard uniform…” You spoke quickly and about nothing that interested Billy. Though he did see the appeal of you in a uniform. You were cute. Not in a bend me over and fuck me kind of way but in a way that made Billy want to see if he could shove his entire dick down your throat to shut you up and see how wide your pretty eyes could go. In all honesty he wanted nothing more than to shove you in the pool and leave you there as your constant chattering and questions irritated him more than he could admit even to himself. When he heard a squeal and splash Billy stopped. Looked at his outstretched hand and then at you, flailing in the pool as you sank down in the water.

“Fuck.” He said. He honestly hadn’t actually meant to or even intended to shove you in but there you were. Dropping his towel on the side of the pool he jumped in, wrapping his arms around you and lifting you up. You spluttered and flailed, smacking him in the face which was when he pinched at your nose. “Breathe through your mouth and cough that shit up you’ll get sick.” Billy instructed. You did and he felt you calm, before you processed, what happened and tried to wriggle out of arms despite the fact that if he let you go, you would sink again.

“You pushed me in! Into the deep end too! I can’t even touch the bottom.” You sounded so pitiful and your stupid pretty eyes were looking so big and teary eyed that something in Billy twinged. 

“I didn’t mean to.” He admitted. Not willing to apologise. You were snuffling like you might cry and your eyes welled with tears. “I’ll get you out.” He swam awkwardly with you clinging to him and pried you off so he could sit you on the side of the pool. He heaved himself out, rolling his eyes when you squeaked, seeing he’d jumped in naked. He snatched up his towel and threw it down on one of the sunbeds. Laying down he looked over at you. He was no longer in a rush to go home. His roommate would be leaving in an hour to start their night shift so if he waited another thirty minutes, he wouldn’t even see them until the next evening.

“I want to go home now. Everyone else has gone.” You said quietly. He should let you go. 

“You leave when I leave.” He snapped. Closing his eyes he scolded himself. All week you’d done in his head and he wanted nothing more than to get rid of you. “Go into the front office and get the blue key.” 

You hurried off, relieved to be away from Billy for a moment. Returning with it he sent you to a cupboard which, when you turned the key, did something to the pool. He didn’t tell you what. Then he sent you to fetch a yellow key to turn all the lights off and lastly a green key to lock up all the doors. “Good.” Billy said to you as he got up. He carried his bag and towel to the front desk and dumped it down, fishing in the bag for his boxers. Billy headed into the back pulling them on as he slumped down in the office chair to change the pool cameras from manual to auto overnight. You followed him in and watched curiously. He motioned you over and explained that during the day someone watches the cameras but during the night they move on their own but they have to swapped over and it took a few minutes. Before you could ask him a million questions Billy yanked you to sit between his legs and showed you what he was doing.

“Would you like a lift home?” Billy asked casually. You looked over your shoulder at him.

“If I say yes will you push me in front of your car?” You asked. He narrowed his eyes at you.

“I might if you keep talking to me like that. I’m sorry I pushed you in the pool. I was having a bad day.” Billy grumbled. He saw you smile and you twisted between his legs to face him better.

“So if. I had a bad day. I can push you in the pool?” You asked. Billy chuckled.

“Unlike you I wouldn’t sink. I doubt you could push me in anyway. You’re not very big.” Billy pinched a little at your arm which you pulled away from his fingers. The computer beeped and Billy lifted you out of his lap so he could shut everything else down. Then he grabbed his things and headed out to the carpark. He turned to see you following him. You had grabbed your bag on the way out, a pink backpack on with flowers all over it, of all things. He rolled his eyes but smiled a little. It suited you. 

“Where to?” He asked as he pulled out of the car park. 

“On the corner next to the Hideaway pub.” You answered. Billy nodded, needing no more direction than that. 

“I pass by here on my way to work. I could pick you up.” Billy offered. For the next month Billy pulled up outside, slammed on the horn and made you run out to the car or he’d leave you. He’d drop you home too. He even gave you a few hours of swimming lessons though he refused to let you sit in the lifeguard chair as he deemed you ‘shiter at swimming than a dead fish’. The only thing you really hadn’t managed to get to grips with was Adam. He cornered you at every opportunity, giving you tasks that meant you’d have to hang around with him. 

“(Y/N). Good job.” Adam said. You’d finished the paperwork he’d given you, keeping you in the office with him all morning, organising it meticulously. He dumped it on his desk and as you turned to leave to get on with your next job you felt his hand slap down on your ass. You felt yourself heat up with anger. The last time he did that you’d turned around and told him not to but he simply seemed amused. Storming off you rounded the pool, angry tears pricking your eyes as you tried to move onto your next task without bursting into tears. Seeing Billy by the pool edge talking with another lifeguard you suddenly understood why he’d shoved you. So you made the terribly smart decision of shoving Billy into the pool. In front of everyone. Billy stumbled, not expecting to be shoved and fell in with a large splash while you hurried to the back store room.

Billy stormed in after you, his face furious, water dripping from him, pooling on the floor around his feet. He stopped when he saw you had tears on your cheeks and your chest heaving as you clenched your fists. 

“Is that what you look like angry because it’s pathetic.” Billy snapped. You turned away from him and he rolled his eyes, spotting something on your leg. “What happened?” “Adam won't leave me alone.” You mumbled and pulled at your swimming costume. Billy’s calloused fingers stroked gently over the skin that Adam had slapped so harshly, it had come up in a slight hand shaped lump. “I tried to find somewhere else to work but no one is hiring.” You said trying not to burst into tears. Billy didn’t say anything for a while as you stayed in the store room and sniffled. He did however suddenly put a hand out, slamming the door on whoever tried to get in and giving you more privacy. 

“Are you done crying? If he sees you it’ll just make him do it more.” Billy warned. You frowned at him.

“Why?” You asked in a still shaky voice. Billy sighed. He wasn’t quite sure how to break it to you that your big eyes and pretty lips made you the exact kind of girl that men wanted choking down on their dicks with tears in your eyes so crying in front of Adam would have the exact opposite effect if you wanted him to stay away.

“He’s a fucking ass.” He answered instead. Rolling his tongue over his teeth Billy came to the conclusion that hiding out from Adam in a place so small would be just as bad seeing as it entices him to chase. “Stand here.” Billy barked firmly and pointed to a spot in front of him.

“Why?” You asked, doing exactly as he asked despite questioning him.

“Because I said so. Here.” He reached up and wiped the tears out of your eyes, telling you to look up and count to five. The watery tears in your eyes seemed to vanish and he nodded. “If he does it again, punch him in the dick.” Was all he said before leaving you alone. 

 Billy was supposed to leave before closing. His shift ended hours ago but he stayed put, trying to keep an eye on you. While you were supposed to help Adam lock up you noticed Billy lingering. He eventually managed to get Adam to leave while he sorted the cameras. Once you finished locking up you came to the office and took a seat between Billy’s legs to watch the camera’s change over. It was a habit that the two of you had developed over the last month. You leaned back into his chest and Billy rested his hands on your legs. 

“Billy?” You asked curiously. Billy sighed. He hated that tone of voice. It either ment you were going to ask him something stupid or he was going to have to help you with something. 

“Yes sweetheart.” He said in a condescending voice that made you tingle. 

“Do you think if I had sex with someone else who worked at the pool Adam would get annoyed and leave me alone?” You asked. Billy narrowed his eyes and frowned at you suspiciously. You’d been a little clingy after the whole eyeful of his dick you’d gotten during your first week but it hadn’t come up again since then. His ego had told him you’d try to jump his bones as soon as you could but you never asked. 

“Maybe. If you picked the right person.” Billy muttered honestly. Turning so that your cheek was against his chest and he had to look down to see your face, you pointed across the room.

“What if we did it in front of that camera?” You asked, pointing right at the camera in the corner of the office. There it was, Billy thought. He’d been waiting for you to pull something like this. Admittedly he didn’t think he would ever feel so attached when it happened. “I bet if I gave you a blow job on the camera he'd get really pissed.” 

Billy stared at you as the cogs in his mind whirred. When you looked back up at him he had an odd expression on his face. Manhandling you to face him, making you straddle his thigh so you could kneel on the chair he grinned. 

“You’re a little fuck bunny.” Billy said with amusement. You shook your head slowly and frowned at him. “Yes you fucking are. You look all cute and innocent but you want to fuck more than I do.” 

“No.” You said quietly. Billy smiled and looked at you up and down. His head tilted to one side and a mocking look crossed his face as he shifted you to one side of the chair and he slid his hands into his swimming trunks. You sat back on his thigh and watched his face as he grasped himself in his trunks and started to pump himself. Billy had assumed if he was right your hand would have followed his hand into his shorts but you looked at him with sparkly eyes and a fascination with the way that someone would if they were having their first time with a person they really liked. Billy had seen it enough times when he’d hook up. Maybe you just hadn’t found the right person to wind you up and set you loose yet. He could feel you getting wet through your swimming trunks on his thigh just from the sound of him moaning. 

He kept a large hand on your back keeping you steady as you fidgeted trying to find friction on his thick thigh while watching the way his eyes fluttered with each pump of his hand. Maybe he was wrong. Billy thought to himself. Maybe it was just him that made you horny he thought as he watched the way your eyes scanned over his chest and back to his face, not once down to his hand in his shorts. It frustrated him a little that you wouldn’t want to see him jerk off. Pulling his trunks down awkwardly he shifted in the swivel chair moving so you could lay your head on his shoulder and watch him jerk off.

“Here.” He said almost gently as you continued to squirm, getting wetter at the sight of his dick than he thought you would. Moving his hand from your back guiding your hand to the side of your swimming costume. He pulled at the elastic, one thick finger gently stroking between your folds, finding your clit expertly, stroking over the bundle of nerves a few times as if he couldn’t help himself. You sank against his chest and Billy hummed at the way you caved into him. “Touch yourself.” He said with a firm voice. His fingers stopped and guided your own to replace his. 

He moved so he could watch you, leaning against him and circling the bud of nerves, your face contorting with different expressions as you tried your best to copy the way his practised fingers had touched you. He smiled when he realised you weren’t quite as good as him. When you tried to coax his hand back to touch you he chuckled.

“Please.” You asked with big doe eyes and a pout. He let go of his dick and gripped your arm pulling you flush with his chest and higher on your knees.

“Jerk me off and I’ll touch you. If you stop, I stop. Understand?” He asked with a firm, commanding voice. You nodded against his shoulder as he let you tuck your head under his chin so you could be close to him again. Sliding his hand down your arm he grasped your hand guiding you to wrap your hand around his shaft. He sighed pleasantly when you started to slowly pump him. “Good girl.” 

You tried to focus on the way you pumped Billy, gently squeezing him and twisting your wrist slightly, his hips rocked up to your hand and he made pleasant gasps and moans. As he promised Billy’s fingers returned to your core but this time instead of focusing on your clit he stroked up and down your slit, teasing your hole. The noises that you made in response to each stroke made his cock twitch, precum started to gather at the tip as he got harder. The sight of him so hard made you whimper. 

“You want me to fuck you (Y/N)?” Billy asked as you grew wetter and squirmed more under his touch. You nodded against his neck. “Ok sweetheart.” Pulling his hand away from your core he gripped one of your legs, moving you so you straddled his waist. He could have used his fingers to stretch you out. He thought to himself as he pulled your swimming costume all the way to the side and lined himself with your entrance. He could have but the thought of your pussy stretching around him was too much to pass up. He gripped your hips, guiding you down onto him slowly. Your nails dug into his shoulders, scratching across his arms and chest. He smiled to himself as he thought about the fact that tomorrow he’d be showing up to work, his only shift you weren’t working together, with your marks all over him. 

“Billy!” You gasped as you clung to him. You pulled away to look at him with wide eyes, panicking a little. “You’re too big.” You said in your sweet voice. Billy hummed pleasantly at those words and shushed you as he smiled, almost flattered by the panic. 

“Don’t worry sweetheart. Just relax.” He said in his nasal tone he used when he was talking down to someone he thought much stupider than him. He started to gently thrust up into you, each time burying his cock deeper until with the last thrust he buried himself fully inside you and you collapsed against his chest with a soft moan. His hand squeezed at your ass cheek and he took a moment to enjoy the feeling of being deep inside you. Your walls clenched and relaxed around his cock while he relaxed, his breath hitching but even you were a little mess in his arms. Stroking up your arms Billy, making sure only your back was visible to the camera, pulled your swimming costume down and pressing you flush against his chest. The feeling of your soft, warm body pressed against him made Billy’s cock twitch and your walls clench around him. He heard the beeping of the camera letting him know that the office camera had now turned off and the security had switched to automatic but Billy didn’t move. 

“Billy?” You mumbled.

“Yeah.” He answered, stomach churning that you might ask to get up.

“The camera’s are done, we can go home.” You were still pressed against him in his arms and made no effort to move an inch. Billy’s hand stroked up and down your back. He wouldn’t admit it to anyone but it had been a while since someone had been this gentle with him.

“I know.” Billy muttered. The two of you stayed clung together until the lights turned off. Billy heard you giggled slightly and decided it would be best to finish what he started. He couldn’t see your face as it was so dark but he felt your forehead pressed against his as he wrapped his arms around your waist, thrusting up into you. Your hands ran up and down his arms, across his chest and over his shoulders as if you needed to touch him desperately. As your walls clenched around him you let out the softest sweetest sigh of his name and drove him to the edge. The coil that had wound tighter and tighter snapped and he came, filling you with hot spurts as he continued to thrust into you, riding his high, hearing you break and crumble as well, your nails bit into his shoulder blades as his grip on you slackened in his haze. Billy's eyes fell shut and he moved to hold you firmly by your hips, keeping them sunk down on his softened dick as he caught his breath. When he was ready he pulled himself from you, pulling his swim trunks up and fixing your costume, secretly rather pleased that his cum mixed with yours was seeping into the fabric. Your legs were too shaky for him to make you stand so once he was done pulling the straps of your costume up back over your arms he picked you up and carried you to his car. He left you there without a word as he went to fetch your things before coming back and put them in the back of the car as he got in and drove to your apartment. He didn’t even bother turning on the radio like he usually did on the ride home. 

“Think you can manage to get inside without me carrying you?” He asked suddenly as he pulled up outside your apartment.

“Yes.” You said quietly. When you looked at him you could make out scratches all over his arms and shoulders in the dim light of the street lamp.

“They’ll be gone in a couple of days. You didn’t maim me too badly.” Billy said. He chuckled when you looked relieved that you hadn’t hurt him.

“I have the day off tomorrow.” You said when you had nothing better to say.

“I know. I could drop by after my shift?” Billy asked. You nodded and let him move closer, leaning over the stick shift as he reached a hand to cup the back of your head and kiss you.

Cùng theo dõi nhé!

Tìm hiểu sơ đồ nguyên lý hệ thống lọc hồ cá koi

Trong sơ đồ nguyên lý bể lọc nước hồ cá koi ta cần lưu ý tạo độ chênh mực nước khi vào ngăn đ��u và ngăn sau lọc nhằm tạo dòng tự chảy.

Hồ xây bằng gạch hoặc beton phải xử lý thấm tốt.

Chọn máy bơm phù hợp với công suất hồ.

Phần lọc thô, bùi nhùi, cát sỏi lọc thường xuyên rửa nên thiết kế dễ thao tác. Tốt nhất nên xây phần này cao hơn.

Nguyên lý hoạt động của hệ thống lọc hồ cá koi

Hệ thống lọc hồ cá Koi phải đảm bảo nước luôn trong, không cặn, không rêu, không có mùi tanh sau thời gian vận hành trên 6 tháng.

Cặn và phân cá trong bể cá koi sẽ được hút qua ống hút đặt dưới đáy bể (hút đáy) các loại chất thải nổi trên mặt nước sẽ được hút qua ống hút mặt (hút mặt) để đến bể lọc.

Khi chất thải vào bể lọc thì các chất thải sẽ đi qua hệ thống lọc thô ở đây các chất bẩn sẽ được vật liệu lọc giữ lại và một phần mất động năng lắng xuống đáy ngăn lọc thô.

Sau khi đi qua phần lọc thô các chất bẩn như: phân cá, rác, lá cây, thức ăn thừa… sẽ được giữ lại dòng nước sẽ tiếp tục đi qua.

Ngăn lọc tinh, ở đây sẽ chứa các loại vật liệu lọc có tác dụng lọc tinh như gốm lọc hoặc nham thạch các loại vật liệu lọc này có tác dụng là nơi sinh sống của vi sinh vật có lợi sinh sống và phân hủy các chất hữu cơ loại kích thước quá nhỏ mà phần lọc thô  không giữ lại được phân hủy.

Đồng thời tại đây các chất bẩn dạng nhỏ cũng mất dần động năng và nắng xuống đáy sẽ được hệ thống xả đáy của ngăn lọc tinh xả ra bên ngoài.

Nước sạch sẽ sang ngăn cuối cùng ở đây có chứa than hoạt tính để lọc các chất độc hại trước khi được máy bơm hút trả về bể chính.

Máy bơm sẽ hút nước sạch từ bể lọc trả về bể chính theo 3 đường:

Đẩy đáy  tạo dòng chảy đẩy các chất cặn cá dưới đáy về ống hút sang bể lọc.

Đẩy mặt : đẩy các chất cặn nổi trên mặt nước về vị trí hút mặt.

Đẩy lên thác : Đẩy lên núi đá non bộ tạo thành thác và tao oxy cho bể cá.

Một số mô hình hệ thống lọc hồ cá Koi

Mô hình 1: Máy lọc thùng và bơm đáy

Đây là mô hình phổ biến được áp dụng khá rộng rãi. Mô hình này sử dụng một lọc thùng áp suất bên ngoài hồ và một máy bơm chìm bên dưới đáy hồ.

Mô hình 2: Máy hút mặt kết hợp ống hút đáy

Mô hình này kết hợp hai thiết bị đã được đề cập ở trên là hút mặt và ống hút đáy. Nước dưới đáy được hút đáy đưa vào bể chứa, nước và rác trên mặt cũng được chuyển vào bể chứa nhờ vào máy hút mặt. Rác được thu gom lại giỏ là còn phân cá cùng chất thải rắn được để lóng tại bể, nước sạch hơn theo máy bơm đi vào hệ thống lọc bên trong bể chứa, sau đó nước sạch được đưa trở lại hồ.

Mô hình 3: Máy lọc All-in-One (bộ lọc tất cả trong một)

Hệ thống All-in-One như của Lifegard Aquatics trong hình trên thường là một hệ thống lọc khép kín bên dưới hồ, nó bao gồm bộ lọc thô, lọc vi sinh, đèn UV và máy bơm nằm trong cùng một vị trí.

Mô hình 4: Máy lọc nhiều giai đoạn

Hệ thống lọc này nằm bên ngoài hồ và có thiết kế cực kỳ đơn giản. Bộ lọc này chỉ phù hợp sử dụng cho hồ Koi nhỏ hoặc hồ cá ngoài trời nuôi các loại cá nhỏ khác, không thích hợp cho hồ Koi lớn.

Cuối cùng, để đảm bảo cho hồ cá Koi của nhà bạn luôn đẹp, khỏe mạnh, mang đến giá trị thẩm mỹ cũng như phong thủy tốt nhất, bạn nên nhờ đến những đơn vị chuyên nghiệp, có kinh nghiệm lâu năm giúp bạn tư vấn và hỗ trợ cách làm bộ lọc nước hồ cá Koi đúng chuẩn nhất nhưng vẫn tiết kiệm được tối đa chi phí dành cho gia đình bạn.

Bath time = nap time

Beetlejuice x fem reader

Beetlejuice saves reader from drowning

Then it gets soft

Slight nsft cuz nudity and mention of masturbation

"You seem to be in a mood"

He was right, you just got home from a long shit day at work, customers screamed at you, your boss left early and made you cover the full store alone, again, you were exhausted and more then a little annoyed, hell, you've been holding back tears the whole bus ride home, and sure as fuck you weren't gonna start balling you eyes out infront of beetlejuice, the man had no idea how to deal with emotions and you really didnt want to deal with all that awkwardness.

Walking in the door, Beetlejuice could feel the angry engery you were giving off, hell, he knew exactly how you were when you were angry, after pushing the envelope one too many times and really pissing you off.

When you two make eye contact with each other you sigh.

"Its just- work sucks" you sigh pinching the bridge of your nose, you flop down on the couch next to the ghoul, you felt like you were let the flood gates break and cry at this point.

"Bring me to work with ya sometime dollface, I'll sort 'em out nice and quick for ya" he cackles, you only give a small smile and a sniffle in return, he frowns, you were no fun when you were like this. Your boss and coworkers constantly took advantage of your kind nature and willing to please to the point that it fucked you up emotionally and physically, but more importantly ruining HIS alone time with you.

"I'm sorry, I just need to cool down" your voice cracks, trying really hard not to cry

"Alright sugar, I can see you need some alone time, I'll make myself scarce so you can do whatever you need to yeah?"

You give the demon a soft smile, it wasnt often Beetlejuice was considerate to your feelings, but was greatly appreciated when he was.

He tussles your hair "see ya in a few, and you better be better to ACTUALLY hang out" he laughs, and with that he was gone, no smoke, no fan fair, just simple pop, gone.

...

You start your quiet time with a bath, a nice hot bubble bath, it's been awhile since you did that, you were more of a shower person solely for how fast it was, as you waited for the tub to fill you begin to strip down. Unknown to you beetlejuice didnt exactly leave, he just vanished, invisible to your eyes, you stopped at you shirt, the demon groaned at this tease, yes he loved your ass and legs, but he wants the FULL picture.

The demon was banking on his sweet breather blowing off some steam the good old fashioned way, going to town on that cute pussy of yours, but jerking off in the bath? That was new, not that he was complaining, a change of scenery was always nice, keeping things nice and fresh for him? Such a considerate breather you were. hell the ghoul was already buzzing with excitement, electric pink tips already showing in his hair, it's been awhile since he had quite the show, yes he spied on your private times, can you blame him? Hes a demon straight from hell, that may or may not be head over heels for you, his sweet little breather, and watching you take care of business was an excellent way from him to see what you like for future reference~.

Beetlejuice's attention was brought back to reality when he herd the rushing water stop, his gaze leaves your legs and follows the hem of your shirt, drooling at the new exposed skin, when you dropped the bra the ghoul gave you a very lewd motion, an over exaggerated jerk off motion and a wolf whistle, not that you knew it.

Stepping into the tub you let out a soft whine, like always it was boiling hot, the noises you made as you sunk your tired body into the water were practically pornographic, well at least to the ghoul in the room who already had his cock out, just waiting on you to start, but you didnt.

You just layed there in the water, most of your goods covered by bubbles, it felt like an eternity before it clicked with Beej you weren't gonna start playing with yourself.

He huffs, pretty disappointed with the result, floating out of the bathroom and into you bedroom to deal with his sour mood the best way he knew how, digging through your underwear drawer, as occupied as the demon was in this activity, his ears did perk up at the sound of a knock at the front door, tending to his meat would be fun, BUT scaring the piss out of someone would be better.

The ghoul took no time disguising himself as you and quickly making his way to the door. Quickly swinging the door open to reveal the mailman.

"Package for l/n, sign here please"

Beetlejuice took the package eagerly, and scribbling down a mess on the clipboard handed to him, the ghoul responds with a cheerful "thanks" in your voice before grabbing the bottom of his jaw and pulling it down to his chest, as swarm of various bugs fly out, the delivery man screams and makes a quick escape from the premises. Beetlejuice cackles, and returns to his old self, placing the box down he heads to the bathroom where you were to gloat about his recent scare, he adored how your eyes lit up when he bragged about his work to you, a fun little retelling would get you out of your mood and back to being fun.

The ghoul knocks on the bathroom door

"Knock knock" he shouts matching the knock on the door

No response, he knocks again

"Sugar?"

...

"Babes?"

...

"Y/n?" Concerned in your silence, he takes a deep breath and hollers "y/n if you dont respond by the time I count to 3 I'm coming in"

"3!" He shouts phasing his head through the door, what he saw made his hair turn white, a colour that rarely graced him, your legs hung over the sides of the tub, while your head was completely submerged, how long where you like this?!

Beetlejuice quickly lunges into the tub without a second thought, as much as he hated water, it didn't matter now, it didn't matter that his suit was soaked, it didnt matter that you were going to be upset that he was straddling your naked body, what mattered was not letting you drown, the demon quickly pulled your head out of the water.

"Come on sweets, a dead guy cant give ya CPR" he utters trying to gently shake you awake

With a hard cough, spitting out a bit of water you were awake.

Moving the wet hair from your face you rub your eyes, before you could yell at beetlejuice for invading your privacy, you're pulled into a tight wet hug.

The first thing that came to mind was the smell, to the point where you felt dizzy, Your head was spinning on what was going on, you were completely naked and enjoying a nice bath, but here beetlejuice was, fully clothed, in the tub straddling you, and now hugging you, as embarrassment and anger fill your chest, but despite all the confusion was the biggest feeling you had now, but before you could say his name once the ghoul speaks.

"The fuck were you doing?" He utters into your ear

"I-"

"Trying to scare the fuck out of me?" He squeezes you tighter

It clicks

"I fell asleep in the bath again huh" you mumble

Beetlejuice pulls away and stares at you with a quizzical look,

"I used to doze off in the bathtub when I was younger, ya know, it's so warm and peaceful" you trail off while nervously laughing, refusing to meet his eyes

"What am I going to do with you?" Beetlejuice sighs

The two of you remain in the position, sitting in silence for what feels like an eternity.

Finally glancing back to the demon, you realize the position you're in. Naked with a born dead demon, you had more then a little crush on, leaning over you, you couldnt really scream at him after him saving your life huh, but this was a little much.

"Beej? Can you leave?" You stutter out finally crossing your arms over your exposed chest, not that it mattered, the demon probably got an eyeful already.

"Oh! Sure, but uh, you gonna be okay? Or do you need a lifegard babes?~" his voice drops to that seductive gravel that always made your knees weak, the ghoul leans in close, water sloshing over the side of the tub. "Cant have you stop breathing sugar, I've grown accustomed to that warm body of yours~" he whispers as a hand travels up your thigh.

Beetlejuice was always a handsy guy, you knew that, and didnt mind it, but now, being completely exposed like this? It was a little too much too soon.

"If you get out of the tub, clean up the water you splashed on the floor, and keep your hands to youself, you can stay" you mumble out.

"I'll take it" the ghoul jumps out of the tub, and with the snap of his fingers the bathroom was just as it was before he jumped in the tub with you, and with another snap beej was back to being as dry as his humor.

The ghoul hops up on the sink, his eyes glued to your naked form.

"Oh, almost forgot" the demon snaps his fingers again, the room fills with a harsh green smoke, and once it disperses, beetlejuice was no longer wearing his trademark suit, instead he sported a pair of swim trunks, black and white striped, a whistle around his neck, a pair of sunglasses, and a pair of white flip flops.

"Lifeguard is on duty sweet thing"

You couldnt help but laugh

"I'm CPR certified doll, but you dont gotta be drowning if all you wanted was a smooch~" he cackles you laugh along with him.

Yes it was a little embarrassing finishing you bath routine with an audience, but the unexpected happened, beetlejuice was polite, at least for his standards, no lewd jokes, no gross comments, nothing, and here you were completely naked and consenting to his presence and he was on his best behavior. The odd joke was given, but it was much more tame then what you've grown to know, while you washed your body the ghoul chattered on about scaring the mailman and how he really didnt get why breathers were so eager to stay clean.

With the bubbles finally gone that was a good indication to get out and dry off, your muscles now relaxed and you yourself were in a more better mood, albeit alittle drowsy.

Pulling the plug in the tub was a good signal to the demon to turn away from you, you raised an eyebrow at this

"What are you doing?"

"Babes I am a gentleman, I couldn't possibly gaze-"

"You literally just sat there for like a half an hour watching my naked ass like a hawk" you were quick to interrupt. The ghoul visibly flinches at your words still facing away from you

"Humor me babes" he says with a shrug

You sigh, finally standing up and wrapping a towel around your chest, and another towel around your hair. You continue your routine with the ghoul facing away from you. Reaching for a bottle of lotion, you squirt some out and begin rubbing it into your skin, throughout the process you could see the undead demon visibly shiver and wobble a tad, you try not to think about it.

With the thud of the bottle being put away you raise to your feet and leave the room with beetlejuice trailing behind.

You sit down of your bed removing the towel around your hair, the ghoul sits down next to you, once again dressed in his suit. The two of you make eye contact for a brief moment before you look away, remembering how the born dead demon, moments earlier, on top of your naked body, let alone watched you take a bath, the whole thing finally caught up to you and all you could hear was your heart hammering away, so you didnt hear Beetlejuice the first time he tried to get your attention.

You nearly jump out of your skin when his icy cold hand gripped your shoulder, you turn back to the ghoul, realizing he was a bizzar mix of purple and pink.

"Are you okay?" You mumble out

The ghoul snorts a small laugh "I was about to ask you the same thing doll, you almost died" his gaze was scary serious something you weren't really used to seeing from him.

"I'm fine, dont worry about it-"

You were cut off by beetlejuice pulling you into a tight embrace

"Dont worry about it? Are you stupid or something? Jesus y/n I cant have you dying on me, I need ya, your my-" he stops himself, you push away quirking a brow staring back at the ghoul

"I'm your what?"

"You're my... breather, ya know, cuz I'm haunting ya" he shrugs with a forced laugh

"Right, thanks again for your help" you trail off sounding a tad disappoint with the ghoul's response.

Beetlejuice picks up on your ton and quickly grabs your wrist

"Doll I, no y/n, this isnt easy for me to say okay, but fuck, ya mean alot to me, and I dont want ya to stop breathing before you live your little breather life, and yeah, you're my breather, youre mine, my-" the ghoul's grip looses up on you, you gently grab his hand and give him a soft smile

"Thank you" you whisper before pulling the demon into a hug

It's alright that you're both cowards with how you feel, but this was a nice start

Bonus

This was as close to heaven as beetlejuice was ever gonna get, here you were his favourite little breather, hugging him, out of your own free will wearing nothing but a towel, and right after he tried his damndest to confess to you, yeah it didnt come out clear, but you were happy, he'll try again another time and really spell it out that he loves you

I’ve had it for several months now and I’m still really happy with it! I’ve checked the temperature with different thermometers multiple times to check that this one’s accurate, and it is! It also adjusts really fast, when I pour new water in it will immediately tick down a few tenths of a degree.

Here’s a neat little thermometer I bought from Lifeguard Aquatics! It’s fully submersible, compact, and seems to give a good reliable reading! I love that it’s so small and clean looking, it doesn’t distract from the tank. It also doesn’t flop around or get in the way as much as other thermometers!
