Household Filters for Cleaner Drinking Water
Written by: Quintin Bentley Crevling
Water is the single most important resource for all life on earth. The human body consists of 60% water, and is designed to expel roughly 2.5 liters of water each day. For this reason, humans need to drink 2-3 liters of fresh water each day to avoid dehydration which can lead to headaches, fainting, and other psychological maladies. To remedy these potentially fatal conditions our society has installed clean running water in all homes. For some communities this water is not as clean as advertised, or may have a strong taste of chemicals used in the water treatment process. Many homeowners opt to install water filtration systems to avoid these potential hazards. There are two types of water filters: point of use and point of entry (also known as whole house). The most common filters are whole house filtration, under sink filtration, and countertop filtration systems.

If you are considering a water filtration system for your home, visit aquafil.com.au for more information.
Whole house water filtrations systems are installed at the point the water enters the home. These filters typically have a four stage filtration system that is designed to remove debris larger than five microns in size, remove chlorine, charcoal filter to improve taste, and lastly the water may undergo some form of reverse osmosis, or another stage of contaminant removal. Since these filters are attached at the point of entry they will provide filtered water for all of your needs including showers, and watering plants. These points of entry systems can filter as much as one million liters of water before they need to be replaced. These systems vary greatly in quality and price ($50-1,500) so be sure to do your homework before purchasing.
Under the sink water filtration systems are a common alternative to whole house filters. Many people don’t care if they shower or water their plants with water that has some contaminants, but most people want clean water to drink and cook with. Under the sink filters use a reverse osmosis system which removes more contaminants than any other type of filters. This form of filtration is so effective that it is how major water bottle companies treat their water. These filters are typically $200-300 dollars and will last about six months. If you are someone who constantly buys water bottles, this could save you hundreds of dollars by providing the same quality of water straight from your faucet.
A less expensive alternative to an under the sink filter is the countertop filtration system. A countertop system rests on the sink’s ledge and has a hose with a diversion valve that connects to the aerator on the faucet. You will be able to choose when your water will be filtered with a diversion valve. All you have to do is turn the valve and water will be diverted to the filter and will pour out of a faucet that’s attached to the filter.

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
Description: The first book in  The Reading Game  learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender.  It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long.  It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words.  These are broken down into six sets of five words.  The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game.  Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory.  Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not).  Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
  Writing a will should, by all means, be a simple thing. You want to make sure that your assets are being left to your loved ones and that your final wishes are being fulfilled. Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. It’s important to follow the witnessing procedures exactly as outlined in your jurisdiction to ensure the will is legally enforceable. Chan...
