Elwood and family's journal of our ss journey

@Lazy Gardener They have really improved the at-sink filter systems. You can even get filters specifically for removing sediment as a pre-filter for a RO system. They you just change the sediment filter more often than the RO filter.
Our system has 3 filters. The first gets changed about every 6 months, the second between 6-8 months and the RO filter itself gets changed every 2 years. Or something like that. I find we are drinking a lot more water now that it is not yellow.

True reverse osmosis is amazing. The submarine i was stationed on had the first ro in the navy. It took seawater and made it to clean to drink. The things they sell at hardware stores is sadly not that. True reverse osmosis takes high pressure. But you dont want water to clean to drink either. I am planning a gravity filter for our drinking water. Easy to make yourself. Several inline filters for your whole house is a good idea if you have crappy water. Yellow water isnt great for laundry either

Well we are living in an apartment while we work on our house. Dw's medical issues being what they are it is better for her. We went out to our property today and i was shocked. Someone has mowed and baled the grass! I dont know what to think.

Uhhhhh…that's odd. Maybe they had an agreement with the previous owner?

So, you hadn't been there for a few days? Assume that as cut/dry time, then bale. Hey, I'd be camping there while DW stay at the apartment and see "who" came to claim the hay. OR is the hay gone????

Strange...

 

[elwood]

Hay is still there. Dw is sick so i am with her.

 

[frustratedearthmother]

Sure hope DW feels better soon!

 

[elwood]
