Graco 4 Gallon Cool Mist Humidifier Review

Graco 4 Gallon Cool Mist Humidifier

I purchased this product from Babies RUS on promotion with a 20% discount and gift cards.However, to date, I've spent the purchase price on this unit on filters (albeit cheaper at amazon with amex wishlist discount).

PROS:
This unit is quiet (on quietmist setting), does humidify a large space, and has a convenient humidity setting/readout, not to mention a large 4gallon tank.So yes, it does its job as it's supposed to.

CONS:
and this is a big CON job.Have you ever wondered why this 4-gallon humidifier is ~$70 when 1-2 gallon quiet mist tanks are going for around the same price? THIS IS WHY:The filters cost about $10 and you'll know it's time to change it when you smell a dead rat every two weeks - you can't cop out and pretend it's not there b/c whatever that filter does soaking in water, it really puts out some foul smell when it's "time to change".Say you'll need a humidifier to operate for 4 months in the winter (most likely way longer), that's 8 x $10 = $80 just to keep this thing going. Moreover, if you read the description of this item, it recommends you clean it EVERY DAY - sorry dudes, I've got a job, wife and kids, i don't need to add a humidifier to the family feeding and cleaning schedule.

I've "downgraded" to a 1-gallon humidifier that lasts the night in a 400sq foot room - that's ALL you need people.Forget the 4-gallon filter-guzzler.

This test was easy to use and gives a quick answer to if you have Arsenic in your water. We have well water so it is important to check from time to time. You feel kind of like a scientist as you follow the easy to understand instructions. It is a really good product and I would also use other tests they sell to check for other contaminants in my water supply.

Watersafe WS425W Well Water Test Kit Review

We have well water which we had tested by a local lab a year or two ago.I like to have the water tested regularly, mainly for bacteria, but the local lab charges $100 (if we want lead testing included, it's $200).I ordered this test kit thinking that I'd compare it to the results we got from the lab when we last had our water tested.If anything looked weird or came back abnormal, we'd pay the local lab to test the water.

The tests that I've done so far have given results that are in line with what we were expecting.The local lab gives some directions that I followed when pulling my water samples.They include the following:

1) Use cold water only.
2) For the bacteria test: let your water run for 5 minutes before you take a sample.Don't take a sample from a swivel faucet (commonly found in kitchens).They told me that it's best to take the water sample from the bathroom faucet or tub.
3) For the lead test: Take your sample at a point where the water has been sitting in the pipes for at least 6 hours.They recommended first thing in the morning, before flushing the toilets, etc.

The instructions included with the test kit were fine, but I would have appreciated something a bit more in depth, like those provided by our local lab.Still, this test is a fraction of what the local lab charges, and at least from what I can see, it appears to be fairly accurate.
