Water Storage for Emergency Preparedness

waterprepared white storage tank 150 gallon - verticalby Brett Thomas

We all learned it pretty young. “Be prepared” is the Boy Scout motto, and a good bit of advice. The people who know what to do in emergency situations are the ones who have taken the time to think in advance in preparation for these unwanted events in our lives.

It’s a tough question to answer if you don’t have anything on reserve.

Rain Bird 075 ASVF Review

rain bird 075 asvf reviewby Brett Thomas

If you are looking for an anti-siphon valve for your sprinkler system, this Rain Bird 075 ASVF review will help you understand this is a great option. This unique valve comes with many great features. It’s 3/4-inch and a combination of an electric control valve and atmospheric backflow preventer. If you are looking for an anti-siphon valve, this one is worth checking out.

What is a Rain Bird 075 Anti-Siphon Valve with Filter?

Almost every home has a water supply that can trace its source to a city water line. It then enters a cross-connection. One connection goes into your house for drinking and bath water, and the other line remains outside for irrigation water. Just after this connection, the anti-siphon valve goes to the end of the pipe. The anti-siphon valve serves two functions. It’s an electric remote control valve for your sprinkler system and a backflow preventer. The backflow preventer keeps bad irrigation water from entering the drinking water that goes into your home. The other function of the anti-siphon valve is to hold water under pressure for your sprinkler lines. It opens and releases water to your lines when your control center for the sprinkler system tells it to. The Rain Bird 075 ASVF offers another feature: it has a filter designed to keep your lines clean of dirt and debris.

Power Drill Life Hack – Easy Shower Cleaning

power drill modified to clean showerby Brett Thomas

With good reason, people these days are all about finding clever ways to make their lives easier.  In the age of the internet, these methods have come to be known as “life hacks”.  Yesterday I was browsing one of my favorite social media sites and came across this awesome idea.  Caution: I would only use this method to clean real tile.  Most other materials probably aren’t equipped to withstand the harsh friction.  Maybe try a “magic eraser”.

Steel wool + power drill = no elbow grease required.  Honestly, cleaning a shower is a difficult task, particularly if it’s been a long time.  Not only will this save you a lot of effort, but I imagine that it makes the project go a lot quicker.  You could even take the Tom Sawyer approach and trick your kids into thinking this is fun and get them to do it for you (or at least get them to clean their own bathroom).

Delta Touch2O.xt Review

Delta 751T-RB-DST Dryden Venetian Bronze
Delta 751T-RB-DST Dryden Venetian Bronze

by Cliff Kimber

The Delta Faucet Company has a new product on the market that exemplifies everything you could want in a faucet. Unlike traditional faucets that limit you to a simple handle or two for turning on and off water flow, Delta’s Touch2O.xt faucets give you three different options to start and stop the water flow. The original Touch2O faucets Delta introduced in 2008 utilize technology similar to that found on smartphones. This feature efficiently delivers precise, responsive control with a touch to the spout or handle.

Delta was the first on the market to bring this type of faucet to the home, and they have been leading the way in research and design of touch and hands-free faucets ever since. These Touch2O Faucets continue to grow in popularity because they make working around the sink so much more convenient. Keeping faucets clean even when hands are dirty is just one of those improvements.
