Check to make sure the basket part of your pump is full of water.

If it is an above ground pool an easy way to fill the pump basket and prime the pump is to turn off the pump and set the filter valve to "backwash". Turn pump on and run until water in sightglass runs clear. The pump should have achived primed now. Turn pump off and reset valve to "filter", turn pump on. I do not take off the pump basket lid because the water will come out of it very fast and it is very difficult to replace the lid with all that water gushing up(unless you have shutoff valves or plugs for the lines. I do not have them).

Methods of checking for a block radiator?

If your heating is on but your radiator isn't getting hot, it is most likely blocked. This could be due to air bubbles trapper in the radiator, in which case you will have to 'bleed' it'. If you open up the control and the shield valves, that can help to remove a blockage . Otherwise, you will have to get it taken apart and the blockage cleared by a qaulified professional.

How do you name your garden?

You can name your garden based what is growing in it. For example, a flower garden could be called " Flower Fun". Or a veggie garden could be called " Good Garden of Veggies". If you have a fruit garden you could say " Fantastic Fruit garden" Or if you grow them all or any thing else I mentioned call it " Garden of Goodness". If you want to display your garden name to the public, write or paint it on a sign which can be readable.
