This is a ten cup watering pitcher that filters water where you'll always have cleaner, pure tasting water on hand with this space saving filter pitcher in your fridge. The included, free water quality meter lets you test your water, so you never have to wonder about its quality. Once that meter gets to 006 it's time to change out the filter.



The company claims is a 5 stage water filtration system (cannister) and supposedly unlike many water filters & pitchers, Zero Water filters use 5 stages of filtration, to bring you cleaner, better tasting water. Instead of carbon filtering only. Not sure exactly what this means but they claim that their filters use Ion exchange technology to reduce contaminants.



The company's verbiage claims that the Zero Water brand filters filter water in 5 stages, are NSF certified to reduce lead and other heavy metals. Zero Water removes 99. 6% of total dissolved solids, 2x more than the leading brand (tested by independent lab). Not sure how much of this I believe but I guess I have to take their word for it.



This company boasts that their filters help in getting the lead out of your water. ZeroWater filters are the only pour-through filters NSF Certified to remove chromium & lead. Their pitchers, tumblers, & dispensers remove virtually all solids for the purest tasting water.



Zero water claims that you can get more out of your water by removing more impurities from your water with Zero Water unique, 5 stage filter system. with a variety of options (if you buy different models), you can have cleaner water anywhere, from pitchers, bottle filtration systems, or portable on-the-go cup filters.

DIY Self Closing Door Hinge Installation and Operation Instructional Tut...

No need to try to shut the door behind you while you have your arms full anymore. Watch this DIY Self Closing Door Hinge Installation and Operation Instructional Tutorial and put one in yourself. It's easy. I'll post a link to some below. Simply remove the middle existing hinge on the door (leaving the upper and lower one in place) and install the self closing door hinge in it's place. It's easiest if you use a cordless drill for the hinge fasteners but not mandatory. You could do this with a regular handheld manual screwdriver. You will need the correct size Allen (hex head) wrench for the internal set screw to set the tension on the hinge. Some of the hinges will come with the correct size Allen wrench to use. You tighten the Allen screw inside the hinge to set the tension of the hinge on desired self-closing strength. You can always adjust it later if you find you don't like your settings.

How to Unclog a Kitchen Sink Drain in Singapore | No P-trap Under Sink

The Singapore under sink plumbing set up is different than what I've seen in the states for the most part. This set up is pretty nice in many ways but also seems to clog up more frequently than most of the standard US p-traps I'm used to dealing with. This is really nice in the sense that when it does clog up you just put your water catch basin under the sink and unscrew the receptacle, dump it out, and screw it back on. Really a great set up if you ask me. The problem I saw was that it leaked no matter how tight I tightened it by hand once it was full of food waste debris.



Here's some good plumbing/unclogging tools to have:

DIY Lockdown Fix-it Project | How to Fix Schwinn Brand Bike Basket | Bel...

My Schwinn Brand Bicycle front mounted basket has gotten a ton of use and has had the weight limit put to the test many times. It's been a good basket, hauled many things, survived and accident, been left in the rain and left in the glaring sun. It got abused so much so that it rusted a little and broke.
I couldn't see tossing it out over some normal aging, so it seemed like a good idea just to repair it. I used some Belzona, which is a two part epoxy to patch it up. I gave it overnight to dry and then painted it the next day.

DIY Home Brew: Northern Brewer | Dead Ringer India Pale Ale Kit

I ordered this awesome beer kit from amazon. In this DIY Home Brew: Northern Brewer | Dead Ringer India Pale Ale Kit video, I take you step by step through unboxing, brewing and taste testing. This was ready to drink in just over a month. The first thing I did was heat approx 2.5 gallons of filtered water to 155F or approx 68F. Then take the provided grains, pour them into the grain bag, tie off the grain bag and place it into the water once it reaches temp. Maintain that temperature, no higher and no lower (plus or minus a couple degrees), and let it steep for 20 to 30 minutes. Once 20 to 30 minutes has elapsed, pull out the grain bag and let drain over the newly created wort. Don't squeeze it. Then it's time to bring the wort to a slow rolling boil. Total boiling time will be 60 minutes. Once boiling add the liquid malt extract. and stir in well. While it's boiling I added cool filtered water to the fermenter. I then added hops at 10 minutes time intervals and stirred them in. Once 60 minutes in complete I transferred the wort immediately to an ice bath. Once completely cooled I transferred (siphoned) the wort to the fermenter and topped it off with some additional filtered water. I then added the yeast and shook it around a little. Then I installed the air lock and let the brew sit for a couple weeks in a dark area. After a couple weeks I transferred it to a separate fermenter that was actually only used as a bottle filler and then mixed and added some hops and the priming sugar solution to give the brew carbonation. I then bottled it and let it sit for a couple weeks before sampling.

Burger King Siem Reap Cambodia

This BK was cleaner than any BK I've seen in either other SE Asian Countries or the US. The price was reasonable and the food was tasty. We were hungry from traveling and site seeing all day to this really hit the spot for us. Friendly and professional workers there. They even had a parking lot attendant outside who keeps everyone's scooters and vehicles in order as well as their helmets. On one occasion I saw him covering up some scooters with piece of cardboard and turning over helmets so as they wouldn't fill up with rain. I gave him a small tip for his efforts. Great operation here.

How to install window screens on house windows

Step by step tutorial in the basics of installing a window screen. The side with the thin metal springy clips attached to it goes in first. The plastic tabs go inward as it makes it ever so slightly tougher to remove from the outside. The trick to getting all four corners inserted is to get three corners in first leaving one slightly out, then the fourth and final corner will barely slip in. In this example I put the right two corners in first because they had the metal spring tabs on them, followed by the upper left corner, then finally the bottom left corner.

How to DIY Fence Post Replacement Repair 4 X 4 X 8 Cedar Treated

Sometimes you may have to replace one of your fence posts that are in line with your fence run. This can pose a little bit of a problem if the post was cemented in the ground. You'll need to remove this on order to start with a fresh hole in the ground to place the new treated 4 X 4 post. I recommend digging the existing cement post cement "block" in the ground as much as possible then pull it out using mechanical means. I decided to use a truck and chain to pull it out. This can be very dangerous so use extreme caution if choosing to do this. If you dig it out enough so that it wiggles and rocks a little so you know it's loose, then it's safe to say it's ready to be yanked out.

Slime Brand Fix a Flat- Wheelbarrow Tire Repair

Slime brand tire sealant did the trick. No more pumping up the wheelbarrow tire every damn time you want to use it. It's available on amazon at the links above or at war mart and automotive stores.
Once you've followed the directions on the slime bottle be sure to rotate the tire around after filling it with air so as not to let the slime settle in one area of the tire. It's really quick and simple to use. Glad I did it. My only regret is waiting so long to use it.

DIY How to Install iPhone XR Screen Protector-Basic Step by Step Tutorial

A good idea to protect your investment is to install a screen protector. Up above is a step by step tutorial on installing one. It's a good idea to install these before you install your iPhone case. One of the major keys to success in this task is to make sure your screen is completely clean. By clean, I mean really clean. The kit comes with a wipe and adhesive strips in order to accomplish this so at a minimum use those. If you fail to completely clean the screen it will show up once you apply the screen protector itself. 

After completely cleaning the screen, it's now time to apply the screen protector. There is typically an alignment template that comes with the kit so place this on the phone if you have it. Remove the outer plastic from the screen protector without touching it or letting it touch anything. Place it (adhesive side down) on the phone. Press your index finger in the center and work out any air pocket from the center towards the edges until all are removed. Remove alignment template and you are all set.

How to Replace Dead Doorbell Batteries For Dummies

The batteries on this model of doorbell can be located by gently prying out the upper top little panel section. It's a small battery drawer-like slide piece that comes out. I used a flathead screwdriver. You can see that there is a test button on the front of the doorbell. As can be heard in the video, when the button is pushed before the battery change out, there is a barely audible sound. Once  the batteries are changed out it is obvious that the doorbell is functioning as it should when the test button is depressed again.
