Pur Water Filter product review

PUR® water filters product review.

I have been handyman for 30 years. I also do product reviews of products I use and recommend. Today’s review is about the PUR water filters.

The short story is that they are cheap, effective and easy to install and maintain. Still under $20.00. Best water filter I have ever owned.

Here is a link to the PUR® Water Filter.

This is one of the best water filters for home use. For me it is better then a water filter pitcher.

First I have used one of the PUR® water filters myself and have for years. I have also recommended them and installed them in projects I have done. It is the little things that count. Simple and effective is what I like and the pur water filter does it.

The filter installs on the faucet with little effort and this model can be removed as effortlessly as a push button. This would get it out of the way for that big pot

A flip of the filter switch will filter water and a flip back for pass through without filtering. There is no need to remove the water filter for regular daily operation.

I use mine for my coffee water and drinking water. I also use mine for bottled water which I freeze for use for my cooler and then I have ice cold filtered water on the road.

I keep a quart in the fridge as well for baking. So there is never a short supply. Most of the PUR® Water filter models gives upwards of 100 gallons of water before the filter needs to be changed.

Replacing the filter is simple. Unscrew the filter cap replace the old filter with a new one and screw the cap back on and you’re ready to go again.

The new models have a green LED that tells you the filter is ok. The older models had a gauge. For the 2 of us and our 5 cats, yes they get fresh clean water as well, will last a few months, and filters can be bought online at http://myonering.com/pur/ or at almost any grocery or hardware store.

There are no batteries or power required for this water filter and it just operates properly. The LED glows Green for Good, Yellow for need a replace filter soon, and red for replace filter.

I live in a small town and sometimes the water can be nasty. OK honestly it is normally either smelly or tastes “off” or both so it is pretty much undrinkable without a filter.

Just for the record the 2 stage models can use a 3stage filter. The difference is chemical filtration. 2 stage filtration is for sediment and taste. I don’t have any test gear for any of the filtration it does except that I can’t see anything in the water and it tastes fine.

If you do experience any trouble with the unit there is a1 800 number to call for assistance if needed.

The first PUR® water filter I bought was about 12 years ago and I will continue to buy them. I left them on the faucet when we moved. I have had the previous filter for 6 years. We just moved a year ago and bought new again.

Overall? A great value for the money. http://myonering.com/pur/

Internet scams and internet marketing are not the same

Posted on July 26, 2011 by admin

Internet scams and internet marketing are not the same.

Internet Scams

Know nothing do nothing scam. I do hope you realize that this one is so ridiculous. Here take that 47.00 dollars and spend on lottery tickets. Or better yet send it to me and I will tell if you won or not. Guess what? You didn’t win. Red Flag

Then there is the We’ll do the work for you and submit your site to hundreds of websites.
Come on. There are 3 maybe 4 search engines that you really need to focus on and make your top priority. Move on when you see this one. Red Flag

Then there is You don’t even need a computer. This one doesn’t even warrant a response but does get a mention. Red Flag

Get Number 1 page on Google for a set price Again can’t happen. Take that set price and buy lottery tickets or send it to me. Again you didn’t win! Red Flag

Then we have the Send an email to 10 thousand opt in subscribers. This one can actually buy you jail time here in America. So be careful. Across the ocean in some other countries not so much. Make sure the country you are in does not have FCC CRTC or a trade commission of some type if you plan to use this one. Red Flag

Then there are the send us $7.00 or $47.00 or $470.00, or 4700.00 or 47000,00 or any other amount and we will make you an internet marketer. OK this one is so old and so riddled with scum sucking scam red flags. We have the hurry, do it now, and only 1 spot left, that is normally associated with these. Red flag Red Flag.

I like the sexy girl in a rented car one as well just cause I am a guy. Or the Hoodie guy in front of a black hat thingie. (See. I have seen them and investigated them.) I also like the hacker guy that was hiding from the law in the basement and we met in the bar as he was muttering something obscene . Yup this is how I get my most valuable information in the bar from a guy dressed in a hoodie. NAUGHT. Red Flag

Hacker, hiding and law should be a BIG red flags. But it would make a good movie.

Here is the truth, if you think Internet marketing might be something for you. You are going to have to learn some stuff about Internet marketing. Or hire some one that already is in that business. That is your 2 options.

Be honest with yourself. And remember this. (No I do not have a horse in this race) I am not selling you anything. OK let me correct that I will be honest with you. I provide some links and some marketing links to Amazon from this site so that is how I monetize this website. Use those links if you would like. Do they make money they certainly do. Did I pay for any of them, NO. I learned some things about internet marketing.

The Chris Farrell link is where you can learn more about internet marketing. I mean everything from facebook to Ebay, to why where and when and much much more. It is an affiliate link so I do make some money off it. But only if you stay after the 7 days. This will give you an idea if this is what you really want to do Internet marketing. just take it for a test drive and see if you like it.v

The thing I like about it is every single one of his pages has opt out link in a big red circle of arrows. Meaning. At any time you can cancel and it is simple to do. You can try it out for 10 days for less then $10.00.

This is what I tell the rest of the folks that ask. IF you don’t like the way Chris teaches internet marketing or you don’t like the presentation method then MOVE On for petes sake. If it doesn’t excite you enough to keep at it, it just isn’t going to happen this way for you. give it an honest try and see if it is for you.

Just the fact that you are reading this post may be an indication that you need to read and learn some more. I am not saying you are dumb or anything like that. On the contrary it means you are thinking and are serious. I am telling you to be honest with yourself. We do need more doers and less scam artists.

There is lots of room in this Internet marketing game for new comers and guys who want to do Internet marketing. The secret, it is going to take a fair amount of work and also learn some new things. if anyone tries to tell you different run and run fast.

Guys using there real names like Bill Learning, or Chris Farrell or any number of guys or gals is a good sign. The other thing is, sending cousin quido over to give them a piece of your mind is a lot easier if you know their real name.

Have a great day and may the best of everything be yours.

He said he disliked facebook! I said get over it!

Posted on July 7, 2011 by admin

He said he disliked facebook! I said get over it!

A buddy of mine and I were talking. He was saying”you are marketing on Facebook” “Is it really worth it?” “It seems that action isn’t very effective.”

I said to him “facebook gets indexed every other minute, so if we can get the site link up there it will get indexed quicker.”

He said he disliked facebook! and I said “I don’t care, get over it.”

Here is what I said to him. “Let me fix this misconception for you and them.”

Today 750 million folks go to the facebook page every other day. If I could get ½% of ½% of ½% (93,750 folks) percent to send me $1 buck. We could be sitting on a beach sipping cold drinks, somewhere talking about this rather then in the location we are in now.

Use the send me a buck donation link here to test this theory JIC

Now if my dollar value goes up to $600.00 per sale. That would now mean I only need 156 sales and that is in a year to make the $93,000.00 , so that would mean I would only have to make a sale every 3 days. It turns a whole different light on the importance of Facebook and how that sales avenue works.

Lets’ do it another way. Let’s say that the commissions paid is $100 per sale, Then to have my $93,000.00 I would have to sell 930 units or 3 units a day. That make it more realistic as to what I need to be doing. it pinpoint focuses how I can set my goal, what my focus should be and then prioritize actions for me.

So now it becomes a situation where I need to engage a couple of folks everyday. That is a realistic expectation. SO facebook now becomes a realistic expectation.

So all you marketers and business owners that don’t like Facebook Get over it

Home Based Business! shyster, huckster, con and scam.

Posted on July 4, 2011 by admin

“Home based business.”

“Home based business.” The name itself either leaves you with a squeamish feeling that has its roots in words like shyster, huckster and con or it has you thinking you may have found the answer to financial difficulties you may be facing.

Many home based job opportunities are simple investment opportunities. The primary difference is a job isn’t really a job unless you are paid. Most home-based ‘jobs’ require an investment on your part to participate. This doesn’t mean the opportunity isn’t worth looking into, but it’s incorrect to refer to it as a job in the traditional sense of the word.

“Me a skeptic? I hope you have proof” work from home opportunity.

It is understandable that many individuals are hopeful that there is a simple answer waiting for them. They will search for information on home based businesses and cling to the hope of something life altering will happen when they stumble across ‘opportunities’ that offer hundreds of dollars per hour from home.

There are a multitude of home based opportunities that rely on reselling, network or pyramid plans. These ‘opportunities’ could result in an income, but it is unlikely the income will be neither easily acquired as advertised nor is it likely the income will be available long-term.

Many of the actual home based businesses are ones in which telecommuting is allowed. In these positions you are typically allowed to remain at home while managing the affairs of an office and or business from the comfort of home.

These positions could be data entry, account management or other clerical type work. These positions could also include freelance creative work that may include writing, graphic design or other forms of media. Check out http://freelance.com The Internet has allowed the growth of telecommuting positions and many individuals are successfully working from home.

“This year, A number of entrepreneurs are making money on line by becoming an affiliate or associate promoter. Don’t let the word promoter (liking to a Pimp) get to you.

There are a ton of products that need promotion. With this you agree to market the product for a sales commission. It is pretty straight forward and is relatively easy. Caution remember that where there is money there normally are shysters very close by. However this can be a great way to add an extra income source.

This form of home-based business relies on an entrepreneurial spirit that allows you to custom design your own business with either a personal choice in product or the reselling of product from other sources.

The role of skeptic is a positive role considering the many less than honest home based business opportunities that are available. Always ask questions, ask for credentials, ask for references and if possible ask questions of those who are either currently involved in the business or have been in the past. If the company is reluctant to provide this information you may have saved yourself a headache by walking away.

A couple of straight up choices are AMAZON Associate and Chris Farrell Membership Site.

In prior posts in this blog I go into great detail on both of these work from home opportunities, with step by step guides. AS well if you need help with either of these Just shoot me an email.

Have a great Independence day

Enough is enough already, Random Thoughts

Posted on July 2, 2011 by admin

Random Thoughts

I was listening to an old man the other day,

When I bought my Blackberry, I thought about the 30-year business I ran with 1800 employees, all without a cell phone that plays music, takes videos, pictures and communicates with Facebook and Twitter. I signed up under duress for Twitter and Facebook, so my seven kids, their spouses, 13 grandkids and 2 great grand kids could communicate with me in the modern way. I figured I could handle something as simple as Twitter with only 140 characters of space.

That was before one of my grandkids hooked me up for Tweeter, Tweetree, Twhirl, Twitterfon, Tweetie and Twittererific Tweetdeck, Twitpix and something that sends every message to my cell phone and every other program within the texting world.

My phone was beeping every three minutes with the details of everything except the bowel movements of the entire next generation. I am not ready to live like this. I keep my cell phone in the garage in my golf bag.

The kids bought me a GPS for my last birthday because they say I get lost every now and then going over to the grocery store or library. I keep that in a box under my tool bench with the Blue tooth [it's red] phone I am supposed to use when I drive. I wore it once and was standing in line at Barnes and Noble talking to my wife and everyone in the nearest 50 yards was glaring at me. I had to take my hearing aid out to use it, and I got a little loud.

I mean the GPS looked pretty smart on my dash board, but the lady inside that gadget was the most annoying, rudest person I had run into in a long time. Every 10 minutes, she would sarcastically say, “Re-calc-u-lating.” You would think that she could be nicer. It was like she could barely tolerate me. She would let go with a deep sigh and then tell me to make a U-turn at the next light. Then if I made a right turn instead. Well, it was not a good relationship.
When I get really lost now, I call my wife and tell her the name of the cross streets and while she is starting to develop the same tone as Gypsy, the GPS lady, at least she loves me.

To be perfectly frank, I am still trying to learn how to use the cordless phones in our house. We have had them for 4 years, but I still haven’t figured out how I can lose three phones all at once and have run around digging under chair cushions and checking bathrooms and the dirty laundry baskets when the phone rings.

The world is just getting too complex for me. They even mess me up every time I go to the grocery store. You would think they could settle on something themselves but this sudden “Paper or Plastic?” every time I check out just knocks me for a loop. I bought some of those cloth reusable bags to avoid looking confused, but I never remember to take them in with me.

Now I toss it back to them. When they ask me, “Paper or Plastic?” I just say, “Doesn’t matter to me. I am bi-sacksual.” Then it’s their turn to stare at me with a blank look. I was recently asked if I tweet. I answered, No, but I do toot a lot.”

P.S. I know some of you are not over 50.
Us senior citizens don’t need anymore gadgets. The tv remote and the garage door remote are about all we can handle. If I need to get the next door neighbors kid to operate it for me I really am into that.

from Bill Learning

First thing you will notice is that this phone is almost as heavy as some of the legacy phone sets. I will give GS a 10 out 10 here as the previous phones were featherweights and could easily be bumped around the desk and almost needed to be taped down to stay on the desk.

I like the weather and forecast on the screen for the area. I couldn’t find my code until I went http://aspnetresources.com/tools/WeatherIdResolver . These types of features are what the user wants. The stock report was also cool and currency rate I think are over kill but believe it or not Clients think it is cool.

Other buttons that make it nice to use “end call” button, a button that is labeled for what it does instead of release.

Another button labeled correctly is the SEND button. Yes I know that most phones have this button (not labeled send). I am not sure why the label on most phones doesn’t say something about making the call. So simple a concept.

Switch screen (swicthSCR) is an actual labeled button as well. The viewing Screen is large enough to see on this model ( I am not sure how much space was added) but the use of phone real estate up is great. Since a lot of issues were fixed in Version 2 and 3 every thing worked as before, except for the HD sound which turns out to be real HD.

Hand piece still could use some more weight, although it is a lot heavier then previous models. I think some more weight would be nice. But that does not detract from the other enhancements to this phone.

I am one of the few telecom techs that recommend this phone over other phone sets. I am also one of the only ones that have actually done user based tests and Grandstream always comes out on top for user wants and features and simplicity. Although when they first started to check out phones that would say they wanted the expensive one. In service and actually using them they chose The Grandstream GXP2100

On buttons and labels; Many users asked me, why they don’t just label it as “xxxxx” instead of yyyyy. Grandstream gets this and gets thumbs up for understanding this simple concept of updating their terms and labels. They understand KISS.

Only a a couple faults but not biggies, Grandstream has this bad habit (always has) of not stating what version of phone you have. So it is really hard to tell if you have an updated one or an old one. It So you really have to be careful. I remember one of the GPX that completely redid the interior of the phone new boards, new software everything was new, except the chassis so for a while you actually had to ask when buying. Otherwise this phone in my opinion is better then phones costing 3 times the money

Help Me Make Money From Home

Posted on June 11, 2011 by admin

Help me make money from Home

START RIGHT HERE

Reposted by request!

I am going to tell you what to do step by step.

You are going to make some money, AND you are going to have some fun.

No I don’t make any money off you. There is no MLM in this and I will be here because I am doing the same thing as you are because it works. So let’s gets started.

First book mark us or register with me so you can get back to here if you have any questions. This is a simple step but you must be able to get back here.

What Is the Fastest and Cheapest Way to make Money Online in Your Spare Time from home Now legitimately ?

OK fair question and that one questions likely generates the most garbage in scams and the misinformation that you will find.

First you don’t have to buy anything. Is it free? It depends on your definition of free. There will be some work. Work equals not free to me.

7 steps are involved, and you likely have already completed several.

You will need a note pad to write some things down.

If you don’t have any of these steps completed, you can do this in 30 minutes.

The easiest, fastest way to move forward is to do the steps in order.

1) You need an email address if you don’t already have one Gmail or Yahoo will do just fine. Go to http://www.gmail.com. Sign up (write down the user name and password for later.

2) You need a blog or website if you don’t already have one go to http://wordpress.com or other free blog site and sign up for one. (there’s tons of others. We just like this one) please write down the login and password information.

3) Set up a few posts about any product you want to talk about. Take five minutes and list things that interest you. Write a post about one of them – should take about 5 minutes. It doesn’t have to be perfect but does have to be readable.

4) Set up an Amazon affiliate account use your new website and your new email go to https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/ and and pick the your country

5) Get the link for the product we talked about in step 3. When you log in to your amazon affiliate account search out your product just like you would normally (but to the right or left depends which browser you use) there will be GET LINK that is the one we will use

6) Tell your friends about the Amazon affiliate site and your Blog / website which ever way you went.

7) Repeat 5, 6 and 7 for 30 days EVERY DAY

Another step my sisters says we should add but it’s not part of the process. Start a place to keep your logins and password information.

Ok you are done for today, go have a reward .. you did good

Have a great Weekend
