Thera Shower - Chrome Review

Went from a country life, and using a spring fed well, to the city with all the trappings, including chlorine in the showers. Chlorine will dry out your skin, and hair, and smells so bleachy. Like I have been swimming in a pool. I saw ads for this, and decided to give it a try. The perfumy stuff they stick inside is STRONG! I didnt want an aroma shower, I just wanted a shower that didnt smell of chlorine. I threw away the perfumed sponge, and the aroma cartridge that came with it. Spun the Charcol filter on it, and ta da! The pressure on the shower head is amazing! its like in the old days before water regulators stepped in and made your energizing shower a dribble. Has great settings, and you can even turn the unit off without having to reset your whole shower.

My hair is softer, my skin is less dry, and the soaps and shampoos rinse cleaner, and more thoroughly off my skin. Hard water can make shampoos and soaps stick to the skin, and not break down well. This shower head really has helped that.

I gave it 4 out of 5 stars because while the product itself is very good, and I would buy another, the stinky aroma stuff was just powerful, and made me wonder why anyone would want to smell like that. WOO! its preferable to the wet ashtray smell, or the stinky I havent bathed in a week smell, but if you are showering, I cant imagine picking those scents on purpose. They wouldnt be awful if they were toned down by 95%.

Many shops here on Amazon have it for far less than the as seen on TV style places, but be sure to read the reviews before you chose that retailer.

If anything happens to this shower head, I WILL buy another. Im hooked.

Keurig B31 Coffee Maker, Mini Brewer Review

We love this brewer. The best benefit is a fresh, just-brewed cup of coffee every time. The k-cups are more expensive than buying bulk coffee but we were throwing away partially brewed pots of coffee every day with our old brewer. Plus, the savings in time not having to clean the carafe and dump the filter of grounds and then cleaning that is well worth it. Also, you can purchase a reusable filter for it if you want to continue to use non-kcup coffee. Believe me, it is still WAY less expensive than what you pay in the popular coffee houses and the coffee is just as good, or better.

It won't accommodate a tall cup but it is simple to brew into a glass measuring cup and then pour that into your tall cup or travel mug.

Helpful tip: We did have a clogging problem at first. The manual doesn't tell you that there is a "top needle" that can get clogged. Just remove the gasket and take a straightened paper clip to unclog it. If you use your own coffee, use a coarser grind to avoid that problem. HOWEVER, we were leaving the k-cup closed up in there and the grounds were getting cold and stayed stuck in the needle. We found that if you remove the k-cup right after brewing, it doesn't get clogged EVER. Have not had it happen since we discovered that. By the way, Keurig's customer/technical service is absolutely top notch!They stand behind their product and more than make up for any inconvenience you may have experienced.

For those of you who are confused about the amount of water to pour in, we just take the cup we are brewing it in, fill it with water and pour it in. We never worry about seeing where the water level is.

I have a 100 gallon tank and I paid 500.00 for a wet/dry system that everyone swore would be my last and best filter.Well after a year of loud draining noises and yellow water I ditched it and put on 2 of the XP2's.All I can say is WOW!!!!After only 9 hours my water is crystal clear!I was so used to the yellow tinge in the water I forgot what clear water looked like!My wet dry was rated for a 200 gallon tank and I changed the media religously!It pales in comparison to the XP2's!And the XP2's along with a year supply of filter media cost less than half of the Wet/Dry system!I am sold on the XP2!They are virtually noiseless too!

Both pH and iron content are very hard to read.Far too much room for error.I do not recommend this test kit.For about $30 you can get a lab to do the test with an assurance of accuracy.It is worth it to use the lab.

Rena Filstar Canister Power Filter, 175 gallon Review

Rena Filstar Canister Power Filter, 175 gallon
Average Reviews:

Searched long to find the right filter. These Bio filters with multiple chambers for media is the way to go with turtles. We have a female red ear slider about 7 inches front to back of shell (she was about the size of a silver dollar when we got her two years ago). She is very messy andthe in tank filter was just not handling it. This filter with fresh water and a good shell scrubbing of our baby has worked fine. We used to have to clean her tank and change water every week to keep her water from getting too filthy. This filter in a forty gallon aquarium has been set up for three months now and other than adding water as it evaporates and cleaning her rocks we haven't had to do anything else except feed her. We did clean out the filter once because she made a mess of some fresh aquatic plants we bought for her. She chewed up fifteen dollars worth of plants in just two days. She probably ate some but most of them were chewed and left floating. The filter clogged from all the plant material. But I can't blame the filter for that. The water is always crystal clear. She seems to love her environment now.

There is a couple of things to keep in mind when using the filter for turtles. The intake tubing inside the tank comes in sections that have to be pushed together. They tend to loose prime at the connections because turtle tanks are only about half full and some of the connections are above the water level. I had to glue them together to keep the prime. The filter has to absolutely be at least 16 inches below the tank bottom. I set ours on the floor and the tank on the top of a 29 inch high credenza. When priming remember to fill the tube with water with the filter hose valve in the off position (the instructions will explain). Make sure there are no air leaks and screw on the cap tightly on the prime hole when you are done priming. With no air leaks in the intake hose, the tank about half full or more and the top of the filter about 16 inches below the bottom of the tank when you lock the hoses in place which opens the valves the weight of the water in the intake hose should pull water through the intake tube to fill the filter and you should at this point have a prime. This should now let you turn the filter on without loosing prime and your tank should stay clean like ours for months. This filter has three cannisters and each cannister has two chambers. We are using the foam layers as they came with the filter, two large pore followed by two small pore foams filters in the first cannister (this is from the bottom of the filter to the top). The water moves around the cannisters to the bottom of the filter and is pulled up to the top. So the set up is from the bottom up. The second cannister we used for the biomass. We used the round pellets in the first (bottom) chamber with a mesh top (included), followed by the star biomass media in the second chamber (top). In the third cannister we used nitrate/nitrite (white amonia media) in the first chamber followed by a mesh and then charcoal media in the second chamber with a micron filter on top followed by another mesh. Then we placed the top on that and closed it. After about a month and a half we had the plant incident and had to clean the filter. I just rinsed everything out real good except for the biomass media which I lightly rinsed (you want to keep the bacteria that collects on the media because this helps eat the chemicals in the water and solids). I then replaced everything again and it has been working great since. They recommend changing the carbon every month but we haven't yet. They also recommend changing the nitrate/nitrite media every ten months, so we have a while to go. The micron filter needs to be changed also after a few months. I wouldn't change the foam unless it is clogged to the point were I can't get it cleaned out. It is only to collect solids and retain them till they decompose and are absorbed by the bacteria.

I think any multiple chamber filter would work as well. I am skeptical about anything below three chambers for turtles. One large turtle I think is the equivalent of a thousand fish in feces and pee (that's just my guess). This filter is rated for a much bigger tank but I think a smaller filter would not have worked for a turtle as large as ours. Turtles do grow fast and keep growing. They also live for forty years so get a large filter that will handle larger tanks. If you can afford it I would go for the XP4 which is bigger and rated for larger aquariums. For turtles I think multiple chambers are really important because they do not need oxygen in the water since they do not have gills but they do need clean water to stay healthy and they are super, super, mega super messy.

The biggest complaints I have read from turtle owners about filters is getting a prime. Remember, you can not have any air leaks in the intake tube or hosing. We are going to look for a solid tube that we can cut to use for our intake so we do not have connections above the water.

Cons: Only the tubing, It should be a solid piece that you cut to size instead of multiple small pieces you connect together. But then again this setup works fine for fish tanks since the level of the water would always be above the connections. For turtle tanks which are only filled a little above half way you need to glue the connections above the water or find a solid tube to use instead.
