Water filter, reading report
(first posted at plumbing but no replies yet)
We are doing a kitchen renovation, adding a prep sink and moving things around. The GC has suggested putting a water filter on the cold water line which would serve the 2 sinks and icemaker. I'm not sure I'm reading the water report correctly, but our water seems to be "safe" and I want to filter to make it more safe (less chlorine, better taste, less lead and arsenic).
Can anyone recommend such a filter system, or any reason I should just use 2 under-sink systems? The fridge has a cartridge for the ice maker. I'd rather not have a separate faucet for drinking water, I want each sink to have filtered water if practical.
There are two aspects to your question I can address: First, filtering; second, number of faucets. I'll address the second first.
You will need a heroic filter system if it is to handle the total flow of cold water from a normal kitchen sink, or a prep sink, or both. The amount of water used for drinking and cooking is only a portion of the total amount used, even if the dishwasher water supply is tapped off before the filter. It is more practical in terms of filter lifetime and inconvenience of filter changing to use a separate faucet. Further, to achieve the flow rate expected from the faucet and particularly two faucets that may be in use at the same time, either standard filters will need to be used in parallel, or larger units used to minimize restriction.
Sediment and charcoal filters will remove particles and odor from the water, and in particular will remove chlorine and chlorimine that can affect beverage taste and water taste. Generally they will not remove lead or other dissolved metals and metal compounds, or bacteria. Filtering of PCBs, benzine, etc. may be poor.
For filtering these contaminants reverse osmosis (RO) filtering is used. For a full house system, these can be somewhat complex (relative to a simple filter). Some research is called for on your part before we address any details. There are also threads on this forum on reverse osmosis that may provide some insights.
I should note that I use RO throughout my house. The system I have assembled supplies RO water to two separate pressurized tanks for supply to:
Main sink auxiliary faucet
Prep sink pot filler
Freezer ice maker
Bar sink auxiliary faucet
Centrifugal humidifier (in winter)
Hose for orchid watering
A line is in place for use on my unfinished deck
Here is a link that might be useful: Key parts of my RO equipment are sourced from Spectra Pure
Looking at your water report, the only problem is chloramines which are added by your water utility as a disinfectant. The copper level is a bit high, and I have no idea how to deal with that. I hope someone on the plumbing forum will respond.
To filter chloramines, you can install a granulated activated carbon (GAC) filter which is probably what your GC has in mind. This is a fraction of the cost of RO, wastes no water and will produce water without the taste of chlorine. We went through the same process as you are now doing and concluded that all we needed were GAC filters on the lines going to our kitchen faucet and fridge ice maker. We will bypass the dishwasher and all other water lines.
You can go to considerable cost and trouble to filter out the lead and arsenic and other scary-sounding chemicals, but nothing in the report causes alarm. Everything is well below MCLs. Even the chloramines are below MCL, but you may be able to taste it. We can smell and taste chlorine at times when bacterial content at the water treatment plant is presumably high.
Thank you Kas and Cheryl!
I think my new plan is to use the GAC for the ice supply line and cleanup sink, and then put an RO unit with aux faucet at the island sink. I would've preferred to avoid the aux faucet, but there doesn't seem to be a practical way to do that with RO. I think that given the way we'll use the RO faucet, waste won't be a big concern and so we'll use the costco unit that does not recycle, vs the one which does.
Anyone have input on a specific RO unit - like this one from costco? http://www.costco.com/Premier-WP4-V-Reverse-Osmosis-System-with-Monitoring-Faucet.product.11257320.html
I agree with the posting by kaseki. And I would suggest going with reverse osmosis, as the quality of water produced by these systems is unsurpassed. Although the link to the system he is using is quite expensive compared to the system I have, and my filter replacements are cheaper as well.
The issues I have with the Costco system, is that it doesn't have a final polishing filter or charcoal filter after the RO membrane, and will leave your water tasting flat. This is a larger company (Premier) so they probably cheap out on the pre filters, by this meaning they probably use the same filter for the 2nd and 3rd stage. And lastly, without a DI stage after the RO membrane, the water is acidic, which can be hard on the body.
Do some research first, I just checked reviews on Amazon, and this system has a 2 star rating. I would suggest the 6-stage system I have from a company called Aquasafe Systems. The system is under $200, has the polishing filter, provides alkaline water, and produces 100 gallons per day, and the system from Costco probably only does 50, maybe 25.
Here is a link that might be useful: Aquasafe Systems
I concur with MichaelsAd that for cases where higher pressure supply is not needed, such as a single faucet, a quality non-pumped system is appropriate.
My link should only be used to get to the Spectrapure website. The particular page that appears seems to change with whatever is being promoted. My system is not at all like any on the page I just viewed. I think it is only shown in a particular application note buried somewhere on their site. In any case, my system is not appropriate to a modest requirement.
It is always possible, if a basement with space is available, to mount the assembly to a wall or to the joists and plumb its output to the sink base area using polyethylene tubing. (See Portage Supply's web site for applicable components such as tubing and John Guest fittings.) Changing filters where one can stand up is vastly more comfortable and more efficient than trying to change them by reaching under a sink. And spills will be less problematic.
Location will depend somewhat on your options for transporting the waste (brine) to a drain. Of course, it too could be plumbed back to the area under the sink where the device's directions might suggest it go, but that is only a option, not a requirement.
No basements in Florida, but I'm hoping we can mount a unit in the garage and then run one cold water line which splits in the kitchen to serve 2 dispensers and the ice maker. That would be the ideal physical solution, but I'm worried about the expense of the water line. The second choice will be to just put the RO unit at one sink, and rely on GAC for the ice maker. Minimizing the damage of spills and leaks is important, I've experienced ruined wood floors and hope not to do so again.
I need to purchase a RO system. We have municipal water that tastes bad. I have a sediment and carbon whole house filter and currently have the Watts Premier Pure 4-stage RO system. I've had it for almost 2 years with a few leaks, but the water is great and I'm happy with it.
We're moving and I need a new RO system. I'd buy the Watts system again, but I've been reading the reviews on Amazon, and they are very uneven. It sounds like you need to be lucky with the Watts Premier system or you'll get leaks and rubbery taste (I'm half-lucky, since I've had leaks, but no rubbery taste).
The Aquapure system looks OK, but how difficult is it to change the filters? And are they proprietary filters like the Watts filters (which are incredibly easy to change), or can you buy them at big box stores? Any experience with rubbery taste with the Aquapure system?
Please help me choose: The Watts Premier 4-stage system or the Aquapure Maxiumus II 6-stage system. Both fit my budget. There are no reviews of the Aquapure on Amazon, but there are 18 5-star reviews on the Aquapure website, which makes me very suspicious!! They must edit their reviews!!
If you have either of these systems, please tell me how you like it. TIA.
All the RO cartridges that I've seen (excluding extra large ones) are the same size and take standard RO membrane assemblies. However, the standard is in shape, not necessarily in performance. I wouldn't buy them at a big box store unless their filtration efficiency is listed and you trust the source; RO system suppliers will specify the actual performance of the membranes they sell.
RO filters should probably be changed after around 1.5 years, but this obviously varies with how good the pre-filtration is, the quality of the water, and the amount used.
To change membranes one needs a bit of strength because the cartridge cover screws on over an o-ring and the plastic-on-plastic threads tend to bind a bit. I use a pair of strap wrenches (Rigid is one manufacturer) to loosen mine.
Turn off the feed water first, then relieve the pressure.

The Central American economy is struggling with the outbreak of coffee rust, also known as roya. The disease is crippling coffee crops in the area, leading to a downturn in jobs and income for countries reliant on this agricultural crop.

Published in Americas
Keywords: Roya, coffee disease, Central America, Caribbean
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - It's rapidly become the worst epidemic in nearly 40 years of coffee leaf rust. The outbreak is being directly linked to global climate change. As a result, coffee production has been cut by hundreds of millions of dollars, leaving countless coffee pickers out of work.
Roya attacks the leaves of coffee plants with rust-colored spore dust. Central American and Caribbean coffee plantations have been drastically affected by the outbreak since the outbreak started in late 2012.
"The loss in coffee production in Central America for this crop year, 2014, is estimated at $250 million," Mauricio Galindo, head of operations at the International Coffee Organization says.
In Panama, 86 percent of coffee plantations are affected by roya, followed by 74 percent in El Salvador and then Costa Rica and Guatemala.
It's a crisis: Two million people, working on small rural farms in both Central America and the Caribbean depend on coffee growing as their main source of income.
Coffee producers have been forced to hire fewer seasonal coffee pickers and paying lower wages, threatening hundreds of thousands of livelihoods and export revenues in some of Latin America's poorest countries.
Growers with reduced crops to sell are missing out on the bounty of skyrocketing coffee prices, which have surged more than 60 percent so far this year.
Higher coffee prices are directly due to the drop in Central American coffee supplies. There are also new fears over drought damage in the world's top coffee grower Brazil have been the main driver of the rally.
Roya first appeared in the region in the 1970s. Climate change is a factor behind the virulent spread of the moisture-loving fungus, scientists say.
"Scientists close to the ICO link the fungus to climate change, which is causing higher temperatures and increased precipitation. Coffee leaf rust thrives in these conditions," Galindo said.
Roya is now reportedly infecting plantations at a higher altitude - above 1,000 to 1,200 meters - whereas in the past it did not tend to flourish above 800 meters.
"Due to changing climatic patterns, the fungus is expanding to higher altitudes where coffee is grown," Galindo said.
"Some farmers may not understand climate change as such, but they see change, they see it rains more and that things on their plantation are not what they used to be and are out of order. They live off their coffee plantations and they know better than anyone the effects of climate change."

I used the self-serve beer machine at Target Field and now I shall tell the tale
Jul 14, 2014, 11:03 AM EDT
MINNEAPOLIS, MN — I spied it from afar:
I approached:
I figured out how much it would cost me:
I followed the rules:
I made my choice. You can see how stressed I was by all of this:
I poured my beer:
That was $5.50 worth of beer. I still have $4.50 left on my $10 card. I am reserving the right to go back later though, truth be told, there is a ridiculous amount of good beer here in Minneapolis so I'm not sure I want to waste any more of my remaining liver/brain cell capacity on Bud than I have to.
[RELATED: All-Star game's continued irrelevance could be saved by this one thing]
Also: look how lame that pour is. Not a professional job by any stretch of the imagination. I figure the twin-draw of this technology for the ballparks is that (a) in the long run they will save money on having to pay people to draw beer for customers; and (b) they figure people will buy more beer thanks to the novelty of it. There are probably some line-shortening/capacity efficiencies at play here too and the fact that lots of people will leave money on the card. I like to think, however, that bartending, even when it's only about slinging American lager to people, is an art form. And part of me doesn't much care for the mechanization of yet another aspect of life. But such is the nature of progress.
All that aside, I will give the people behind DraftServ credit for running a smooth operation. It is well-attended and administered, with someone checking IDs before handing out the cash-loaded cards and someone else in charge of roping off the area where the taps are so as to keep people from sneaking by. Macrobrews at ballparks is a volume business and this is about as efficient as you can get with that.
[RELATED: How to save the Home Run Derby]
Still: seek out the good beer, folks. And have a pro pour it for you. Life is way better that way.

I think it's a good idea. Have you ever had one of these dopes that work there pour your beer? I don't know if they even made it passed the 8th grade and I'm supposed to give them a credit card or cash when I pay? I don't even want to know if they wash their hands before getting back from using the facilities.
On a side note, many years ago whisk I was in high school I found out the hard way one of the gym teachers that I had was a beer vendor at the old spectrum and vet stadium. I looked a little older and usually could get served so I wave one of these vendors over and I got a big suprise( and no beer ) when my gym teacher approached me and told me I'd be running track if he seen me or my friends with ANY beers. A few years later when I turned 21 some buddies took me out for a drink at a local watering hole and who do you think was the bartender? Yup

Ideas Matter: NY Council For The Humanities Asks: What about the Public Humanities?
By Joe Donahue
It seems like everyday there's a new op-ed about the "crisis in the humanities." But most of this talk concerns enrollment on college campuses and job prospects for PhD students. Is there a crisis in the public humanities? And if so, why aren't we talking about it?
For our Ideas Matter series, Mary Rizzo, Public Historian in Residence at the Mid-Atlantic Regional Center for the Humanities at Rutgers University-Camden join us to talk about it.

cork sublayment under laminate in basement
I am installing 12ml. laminate with underpad to concrete floor in my basement. I have purchased cork sublayment. Do I need to tape the cork together to form one large piece as a barrier against moisture. Please advise.
I would not recommend this approach at all. Use the standard foam underlayment that also serves as a moisture barrier and tape the seams. Even then, be prepared to kiss your laminate goodbye if the basement is at all damp. Tile or polypropylene carpet is usually a better choice. Have you done a moisture test?
Cork underlayment does not provide any effective moisture retarder properties, unless it has an attached moisture barrier film (and I am unaware of such a product). If your laminate has an attached underpad, you may void the product warranty by adding an additional cushioned layer. However, since most flooring warranties are very limited instruments, I doubt that would be a problem for you anyway.

Does anyone know what the final decision was ? ( Please don't send me to the city website which will give me a 100 page document regarding this - I can never figure out the legal jargon - all I want is a yes or no answer and if yes, the proposal went through - then the timeframe when the construction will start )
Thanks !

Yes, it was approved, but I don't know the timetable for construction. The Palo Verde resident association has that information, I think. Go to groups.yahoo.com and type "Palo Verde" in the search box.

Yes, City Council approced the plans to build 96 condominium units at 3270 West Bayshore on June 19, 2006. The applicant is currently going through the process of having the land legally sub-divided. Construction is not expected to begin until late 2007 at the earliest, as the applicant will still need to obtain the necessary building permits, etc.

Comment: Re:Why not fly into Canada or Ireland first (Score 1) 1040
And get precleared through US immigration while still within a civilised country? No joking: if the Security Theatre misidentifies me as a notorious enemy of Freedemocracy, I'd rather prove my innocence to just about anyone except US "Homeland Security".
I live in Ireland and travel to the US regularly with work. The US Immigration guys in Shannon and Dublin are still complete dicks, although they are admittedly less of a pain in the ass than the immigration in Newark, but those are the only three US immigration I've been through. To be fair though, if you want a tough stance on the people you want to let into your country, complete dicks are just the kind of people to do that job well.

Actually this was my second one . Quality and feel was so good got another one to have as a possible gift for someone . Highly recommend .
I always loved venetian link, and when i saw this i had to buy it. Very nicely priced and fits good. Very shiny as well.. My only complaint is that they should make it longer and the pendant that i had for it could not fit over the links, so i had to just fit it around the clasp and where the chain upside down, but that's not a prob for me.. great chain though..
this is an unusual chain and is very well made. i gave it an overall rating of 4 because it catches on my chest hairs and it is annoying to wear. if i had had no chest hairs, the rating would be 5.
I really like the chain, I do wish it was a little longer, other than that I am pleased with it.
I bought this necklace for my husband, and though it looked like the picture, we just didn't like it in person. It really just depends on what you are looking for. If you wear necklaces often is this is one of many you have in your collection, then it's fine. If you're like my husband and only want to own one nice necklace, then this might not be the right choice. In my opinion, it was way too long for such a thick chain and felt a little like tin. It comes stapled to a piece cardboard, with a made in china sticker on it. Very swapmeet looking, so if it's a gift, be prepared to supply your packaging.
I like this necklace. I am going to shorten it on my own, it looks relatively easy to do.
was surprised at how nice it looked and the size was much bigger then I expected, it was a gift for husband and he loves it
Wonderful for a piece of men's jewelry. It is kind of heavy and thing compared to men's linked chains. If you know about the Venetian style, it will be what you expected. Not at all discrete, but excellent if you know what you are looking for.

Baseball: Lake City ends season with loss to Lourdes
ROCHESTER — The last few weeks saw the season take a turn for the better, as Lake City ripped off seven wins in 10 games, including three of four playoff games.
On Saturday, the Tigers lapsed into the team that lost six straight prior to that run, falling 6-1 to Rochester Lourdes in a Section 1AA elimination game. The loss ends Lake City's season, though the chance to continue was alive well into the game.

Daily "concept builders" emphasize a concept important to the chapter topic through graphic organizers and reading exercises. Students are also encouraged to write in a prayer journal each day, to create vocabulary cards for challenging words, and discuss the week's literary term with parents/educators.

Few words about me:From very childhood I loved computers, electronics, lasers, sulfuric acid and liquid nitrogen. I always wanted to be making microchips, UAVs and see nuclear explosion.
Now I am doing software engineering and in the spare time - some microelectronics and physics/chemistry experiments.
I live and work in Russia, Moscow.
Requiem for a winter 2015

Solar eclipse 2015Today there was 65% solar eclipse in Moscow. Probably the last time I am taking astronomy photos with Sony 500mm/F8 - my new telescope is already at the post office

AMOLED shenanigans and new microscope lens Olympus LUCPlanFl 20x/0.45Finally managed to break smart phone glass for the first time. FIrst 4 times it was hitting concrete just fine, and now it landed straight face-down: screen was shattered. Bought glass replacement kit on ebay including UV-curing glue. Old glue+glass is removed by heating to ~120-150 °C.
Unfortunately I managed to overheat 1 spot to 220 °C which lead to unexpected effect: black (organic?) contrast-boosting pigment has burned and revealed display internals in more details. Also, the most sensitive, blue subpixels stopped working in this spot. With my "new" (ebay again) microscope lens LUCPlanFl 20x/0.45 with cover glass thickness correction I managed to make photo of AMOLED internals with more details (for comparison see earlier photos):

My precious... ADCReceived few interesting chips from ebay for experiments and decapsulation...
Finally can play with fast ADC (16-bit 10MSPS, 14-bit 190 and 400MSPS), DAC.
It's hard to run ADS5474 at 400MSPS for fun, so it goes straight to acid
But with EPM7128 I made a mistake : I recalled that MAX7000 is the last Altera CPLD with 5V IO. But these specific chips appeared to be 3.3V ones (postfix A-3.3V, B-2.5B. 5V ones has postfix S or none)

Temperature stability of AirSpy SDR receiverRecently I got AirSpy SDR-receiver : it has 20Mhz/12bit ADC comparing to 2.4Mhz/8-bit one in RTL2832-based devices. Capture bandwidth is 9Mhz. Also, it uses TCXO with 1.5ppm frequency error spec. In this article I focus on it's frequency error vs temperature. More detailed review of AirSpy will follow in the nearest days...
BTW, for the first time in human history we have blueberry-cooled electronics:
Here are frequency errors. I was measuring 35-th harmonic of FE-5680A rubidium frequency standard generating 2^23 Hz, i.e. ideal frequency should have been 8192*1024*35=293'601'280 Hz.

High Speed Cheetah Robo-Cat in Developmentposted by Paul Fiddian | 02.03.2011
A high speed military robot design is being developed by Boston Dynamics, with funding supplied by DARPA – the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
Called the Cheetah, the robot resembles its real-life counterpart and is due to be unveiled in late 2012.
The Cheetah robo-cat will reportedly be capable of travelling at a maximum of 30 miles per hour, in the first instance. That's less than half the speed of an actual cheetah, but beyond the capabilities of a battlefield troop weighed down with military equipment, if not most humans.
Cheetah High Speed Robot
The Cheetah high speed robot will also boast an articulated head, a spine that can flex and the ability to rapidly change direction and manoeuvre around corners.
All of this gives it significant battlefield potential but it's envisaged that the design won't enter direct US military service. Rather, according to Boston Dynamics, it will likely be used as a proof of concept platform for future technologies.
While 30 miles per hour is the short-term speed target, the firm's President has hinted that the Cheetah could do even more. "There's no fundamental reason why it can't go as fast as the animals [i.e. 60 to 70 mph], but it will take a while to get there", Marc Raibert was quoted by the Boston Herald as having said.
The design could also have applications beyond pure military use - fire-fighting, hi-tech agriculture and emergency response work could all be within its capabilities.
Cheetah Robo-Cat
The DARPA Cheetah robo-cat funding represents part of the organisation's wider Maximum Mobility and Manipulation Program. This is concerned with advancing and developing new robotic technologies and, alongside the Cheetah, the agency is also financing Boston Dynamics' Atlas project.
Atlas is a human-like robot that will specialise in rugged missions that involve hostile ground, tight spaces and crawling.
Boston Dynamics is well known for its BigDog design, and its other robotic products and collaborations have been covered in previous Armed Forces International News Items. In February last year, we looked at its Legged Squad Support System – a vast military troop support robot design.
Prior to that, we reported on something at the other end of the size-scale – the Precision Urban Hopper.
