Are those instant hot water dispensers, with small faucet installed next to the sink, worth the $2 or $3 extra per month spent on the electrical bill? My water heater is at the opposite end of the house, and it takes a long time...

Thanks for the report back. Lime A-Way and CLR are to products that will take away hard water buildup. However, I’m very careful of what and when to use them. I always try and use vinegar first. I try and take off my faucet...

I mainly drink tap water that I filter with a Brita. For sparkling I really like La Croix. The bubbles are very fine like in a top notch champange. It comes in plain and several flavors. I find the lemon very refreshing...

first post because I have a very large sink that I chose specifically for washing large pots. After too many years of contorting to fit a residential sink, it got to be my turn! A high faucet is also a must.

will be of the highest quality at no additional cost to you. For those of you not familiar with Reverse Osmosis, here are some important facts to consider 1. RO removes far more impurities versus filtered water, most notably...

Same here. No place I’ve lived yet in NYC has had tap water that tasted good enough to drink or came out of the faucet completely clear. I use a Brita filter just to make my tap water palatable. It may be perfectly safe,...

A true RO system in the home is sinificantly more expensive than a Brita filter. You also have theissue of the size of the holding tank. You can not just turn on the RO system and the water is pushed through the membrane and...

that is diverted, which I use for cooking and to keep in a Brita-filtered water pitcher for drinking. The Brita removes the irony taste without adding salt or doing whatever it is that water softeners do. Depending on where you...

Yes, I believe that is essentially correct. Especially if using filtered water (and thus relatively pure water with fewer impurities to ‘seed’ bubbles). And, maviris, I didn’t mean that your advice was bad, in...

, your garbage. What is the best type of faucet. What type of fridge-freezer, do I want a waste disposal unit, where should I move the door for access to the deck. Where do I want the natural gas supply for the BBQ, do I want a...

No. I do use a water filter, though. DH continued to get Fiji water all the time even though we had filtered water at home. I talked about the environmental benefits of drinking filtered water. He soon stopped after I did a blind...

I’m in the San Francisco area, so we have great water (to me anyway), so when I ask for water, I mean water from a faucet (I don’t have high expectations – I never thought of it having to be filtered water), but...

To be honest, I haven’t come across many top-freezer fridges with ice and water. I usually only see them on side-by-sides. For our drinking water, we are currently using one of those filters that attach directly to the...

staggering. The Costco listing has a toll free # for Tersano which I’ll use to ask some questions about filters, etc. Thanks for your reply.

I have this Mr Coffee machine. It isn’t fancy but it brews a good cup of coffee inexpensively. The gold filter basket is $20.00 extra, if that matters to you. http://www.mrcoffee.com/Product.aspx?pid=1015 It’s about...
