Rusco Spin Down Separator Sand / Sediment Water Filter 20 GPM - PWFSS10

Rusco Spin Down Separator Sand / Sediment Water Filter 20 GPM - PWFSS10I'm on well water that has a lot of manganese in it. I put two of these "sediment" filters upstream of a Big Blue 20" DGD-2501 filter and they extend the filter element life two of three times. I do use the flushing feature fairly regularly (once a week or more in the rainy season)

At first I had 100 and 250 mesh screens in these housings, but have stepped it up to 140 and 500 screens to see if I can extend the filter life even more. I great product that does exactly what I wanted. Running the washing machine is where I really see what's going on.

However, if I had to do it over again, I'd get the bigger housing (1.5" inlet & outlet, vice 1") to see if it would increase flow when the screens were getting plugged.

this filter has really helped with sand issues in our well. besides keeping in line filters and water softener cleaner it has mainly helped our sprinkler heads to operate clog free.

Buy Rusco Spin Down Separator Sand / Sediment Water Filter 20 GPM - PWFSS10 Now

Concept good, but requires manual clearing. Spinning throws heavy contaminants outward where they sink to the bottom. Lighter material clings to the screen and clogs pores. One I bought had its cartridge screwed on too tight--could not remove to clean except with extreme force of pipe wrench & hammer(light tapping on wrench).

If impurities at low enough level that could be handled by a disposable cartridge, this device could extend cartridge life, but if impurities are high then the frequent manual flushes and cleaning can be impractical. A backwashable filter would be preferable in those cases. Will clog with light silt and or fine sand requiring periodic disassembly and cleaning. If particles are coarse sand or larger, this is fine. Otherwise too much manual cleaning and pressure loss.

Maytag Maxima 4.3 Cu. Ft. White Front Load Washer - MHW7000XW

Maytag Maxima 4.3 Cu. Ft. White Front Load Washer - MHW7000XW
  • IntelliTemp Automatic Temperature Control
  • 16 Hour Fresh Hold With Dynamic Venting Technology
  • MaxExtract Extended Spin Option
  • Dimensions: (WHD) 27 X 38

I bought this washer 2 weeks ago after my old top loader stopped spinning. This is my first front loader and I'm so impressed with how clean the clothes are. The cycles times are longer (but the time shown remaining is just an estimate) and I'm not sure about the "sensing" phase which happens in both the wash and rinse cycles-sometimes it's quick and sometimes it seems to take forever but the clothes come out much dryer than my old machine. My favorite part is the fresh hold-it keeps my clothes fresh if I can't take them out right away-especially useful down in my damp basement in this hot and humid weather. The machine itself is quiet even when it's spinning so fast and almost like a jet engine! When the drum light is on it almost looks like a space ship in my basement. I also can do huge loads which saves a lot of time and I can't wait to wash my bedspread using the bedding cycle. I actually look forward now to doing my laundry!!

11/15/11 update: While I'm still very happy with how noticeably clean and fresh my clothes are there have been a few glitches. A few weeks ago the washer would not open and an error message was flashing. It took one week for the repairman to come (with my clothes locked in the washer as no one could tell me how to unlock the washer to get my clothes out!!) When the repairman finally came he said I needed a new motherboard which has been an issue for these washers. I then had to wait another week for the part to be delivered and repaired. (Thankfully by then my clothes were out out of the washer!) It has since been working as usual.

Another issue has been at times the load does not spin as the sensor seems to find the load unbalanced. The clothes are soaked when you go to take them out so you have to make sure you put in an extra towel or something to balance things out and run the rinse/spin cycle. Annoying!!! For the money I expected better especially with a new machine. It kind of makes me nervous about how long this washer will last. I am now rating it a tenative 4 stars down from 5!

Buy Maytag Maxima 4.3 Cu. Ft. White Front Load Washer - MHW7000XW Now

We were replacing our 14 year old Maytag Neptune washer which finally died. After talking with a few appliance repair men, they all said to stick with Whirlpool or Maytag and avoid LG, Samsung, and Kenmore (made by LG.) Maytag is owned by whirlpool and the comparable models between the brands are basically identical except for small subtle feature differences, otherwise there is basically no difference as far as parts, engineering, and manufacturing.

Comparing this Maytag model to the whirlpool WFW95HEXW (same washer) we chose the Maytag for purely preferential reasons.

First impressions were:

1) 4.3 cu. ft. capacity is wonderful. We're used to a much older front load washer which had maybe 1/2-2/3 this capacity. It holds a lot and when we put in what used to be stuffed full load, this machine isn't full at all.

2) The Allergen cycle got out pet odors on "dog blankets" that we were never able to get out with our old washer. Just one cycle on allergen and there is no trace of the pet odors. Partially this is due to this washer just being a lot better at cleaning than the old one, but the allergen cycle and "sanitize" options are great for my allergies and for getting out musty mildew odors from towels.

3) It's very quiet. When washing the only sound you hear is the actual clothes tumbling, the motor is silent. When spinning it hums along quietly. It's in our garage but even if it were in the house I would consider it quiet enough.

Bottom line we love this washer so far. We have had no problem and clothes are coming out cleaner than ever.

I recommend you actually read the manual so you understand how to operate it properly. I see a lot of negative reviews different places on the internet because it appears these people aren't using it properly. Just 10 minutes with the manual and make sure you use the right cycles as explained in the manual.

Bought this washer based on rating in CR. It started operating strangely within a week of receiving it. The factory service tech came and said there was nothing wrong. Two months later, it completely died. The service tech came again (after a week wait) and said it had a bad motherboard. That took two more weeks to arrive (the service company said Maytag frequently takes a long time to deliver parts and that waiting a couple weeks was not unusual). Then another week wait for the factory service technician, who didn't arrive within the FIVE HOUR appointment window (A&E Service rep: "When we say the technician will be there between 1 and 5, we really mean that is just an estimate"). So now it's almost four weeks without a working washer.

Bought this set over a year ago. Since then I have had the front seal to the washer replaced twice. Water is always in there and lots of mold builds up.

i LOVE this washing machine! It's VERY quiet and clothes come out smelling fresh and clean.

I believe in Maytag quality.

i've had it for a year now with no performance problems at all!

The bad news was the washer was not working. Worse -the blogs on the 'net said get rid of the machine! This pump arrived 4-5 days after ordered and was a perfect fit. Easy to install and superior in design to the OEM pump. Our Whirlpool is good to go for another 10 years.

I was not happy about replacing the pump and motor together, but the combo was easy to install and the washer worked immediately after it was installed. It took about 10 minutes to replace and the instruction were easy to find on the internet.

Koolatron Vending Fridge

Koolatron Vending Fridge, BLUEOne day I looked at my "Man Cave Command Center" and I asked myself, "How can I revamp my creation to look even more appealing?"

As I searched online, I found this little machine. There are three colors: RED, BLUE, and SILVER. I chose blue since it's my favorite color. The Red and Blue only vary in color, but the function of it is still the same. As for the Silver Edition version, it has a coin operated slot where you can either add coins or use the special tokens that come with it. That, to me, comes in handy if you work in a place where people try to leech off your sodas! Ha!

The Koolatron Mini-Vending machine wows many friends of mine when they come into my room. You'll be amazed at how this little machine doesn't consume much space. In fact, it only stands about 18 1/2 inches with a length of little over 12 inches. I enjoy sitting at my computer station and when I get thirsty, all I have to do is press the button. The temperature of the drinks are perfect.

I don't mind the small sound that is emitted from the vending machine since I have my music blaring in the background. This is an awesome creation! I love it!

OMG! This vending machine is perfect if you want a cold drink. I Love it so much. It has a a little slot where you can hide/store stuff. The drinks get REALLY cold. You would be amazed. I have to warn you about two things though: at night the Vending Machine has a light that isn't too bright but it it is sort of like a night-light, and also every few days this tray inside fills up with water and you have to dump it out. Thats really it and it's so great otherwise. It can hold 4 cans of a soda on each side (8 total). It is an awesome gift. The best place to put is in an office or kitchen, though mine is in my bedroom. My friends always want to come over to look at it. Get one!

I bought this for my 7 year old and he loves it. It operates great, just like a real vending machine. I originally got this because I thought it was a good way for him to put money in a bank, but you don't need to put coins in it. I highly recommend this. It's so cute.

Swift Green Filters SGF-M10 Refrigerator Water Filter

Swift Green Filters SGF-M10 Refrigerator Water FilterQuick Delivery Seems to be working perfectly fine. It took a little struggle to get it installed. Once installed it took alot of water to clear the filter almost 1 a gallon before it ran clear.

The water in our town is notoriously full of minerals and tastes just awful. When the old filter in our fridge gave out I decided to give this one a shot. It's been great, no issues at all. You don't realize how much you miss good-tasting water until it's gone!

I was hesitant to purchase this due to one of the other reviews, but I must say that I am very satisfied. It was easy to install, just like the original filter I bought from Sears. Just like the Sears filter, the box tells you to run water through it for about 3 minutes to clear out the loose carbon particles. I filled two large pitchers, and had some noticeable carbon residue in the first pitcher, but the second pitcher was crystal clear.

The water tastes just fine, and is certainly an improvement in taste compared to our tap water.

I would definitely purchase this filter again when the time comes to replace it.

Bummer, we wanted to be green friendly but this made our water taste worse. It tasted like water from a hose...very "plastic" and dirty. Our tap water from the sink tastes better unfortunately. I hope they figure out what went wrong so we can try again. I applaud a company trying to save our environment.

AquaFresh Repl Filter for Whirlpool 8171413/NL200, 2-Pk

AquaFresh Repl Filter for Whirlpool 8171413/NL200, 2-PkFinally a place to buy replacement water filters for my Whirlpool refrigerator that don't act like they are selling gold by the ounce. They fit great and they work great at a reasonable price.

The brand name filters are outrageously expensive, so I have tried some other filter manufacturers. These are the best that I have found so far. Easy to install and flush.

For the money being saved it's worth it. It took several days before it was completely flushed-since this was the first time I had used I was terrified that I had ruined my refrigerator. But after days of spurting and making terrible noises, it's working fine. Doesn't seem to fit as well as a "name brand"--sits at a slight angle.

1.7 Cu. Ft Compact Superconductor Refrigerator

1.7 Cu. Ft Compact Superconductor Refrigerator
  • ALWAYS FREE SHIPPING WITHIN THE USA

I used this as a replacement for a built-in refrigerator on a boat. The RV/Boat replacement refrigerator was $700. Ok... with the Avanti, no ice. But $500+ price difference buys a lot of ice! The RV/Boat refrigerator did have an transfer switch that allow for automatic AC to DC transfer when the AC was shut off. I don't mind doing it manually for the 10% of the time where I need to use DC. Lastly, the Avanti documentation clearly states that the unit should not be placed in a confined space and proper air flow is required. There seems to be enough space around the unit where I built it in so that the heat is dissipated. Inside temperature seems to be consistently 38 degrees. Highly recommend the Avanti 1.7 Cu. Ft. AC/DC Superconductor Refrigerator.

Frigidaire IM501 Icemaker Installation Kit

Frigidaire IM501 Icemaker Installation KitWe ordered this icemaker kit for our new refrigerator, and we were very pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to install. It seems to be working beautifully so far!

Good ice maker kit. Fits the Professional Series Freezer exactly as planned. Works great. Directions are not correct for solenoid valve installation on back bottom of unit (goes on bottom right, not bottom left, and metal mounting plate is not necessary as it screws directly to frame), but figured it out without too much trouble.

The water inlet valve was too short and had to purchase a longer one. The water valve did not fit my water lines and had to replace it also. It is a good ice maker but do not expect all the parts to fit!

Whirlpool W10189703 Evaporator Motor for Refrigerator

Whirlpool W10189703 Evaporator Motor for RefrigeratorTHis is a replacement motor and it fits and it works. It is NOT however, a Whirlpool motor and is built on a much smaller frame than the original with fewer coil windings and an open armature as opposed to the original motor.It clearly has less torque and quality in general than the OEM ( which was Swiss Made) as opposed to this really cheaply made Chinese product. I bought this because it was $25 rather than $45(from Sears).I thought I was getting an exact OEM replacement I keep forgetting -"You get what you pay for"

I bought this because the one in my Kenmore side by side was bad. The shaft on this one is shorter but still works just fine. I just had to make sure the fan wasn't rubbing when it spun. I tweaked the bracket a touch so it wouldn't and all was good. This replacement one worked for a couple days and then went out too. Or so I thought. Turned out the defrost timer went out after I put the new fan in. I didn't figure that out until I had returned 2 of these for replacement. Turns out it is extremely common for the thermostat, fan and defrost timer go out. If you think your fridge is special because it's a certain brand (which I did), it turns out it's not. Most of these parts are interchangeable. Do some checking and save yourself a lot of money!

So if you think your fan is what's going out make sure your defrost timer and thermostat aren't whats at fault. You can check youtube for how to test the thermostat and defrost timer. It's ridiculously easy. You just need a multi-meter. I had power going to the fan and a good ground and the fan wasn't going so I figured it had to be the fan. If you have the same results still test the thermostat and defrost timer. It will save you a big headache and time. I replaced both of them also and it was under $30 for both with PRIME. Wish I would of done it all in the beginning.

So with that said the seller was great and I was sent replacements with no problem at all. In fact they were sent out the same day I requested them.

Hope this helps some others.

Water Sentinel WSF-1 Refrigerator Replacement Filter

Water Sentinel WSF-1 Refrigerator Replacement FilterThis filter arrived just a day after I ordered it. It fits my fridge perfectly, and delivers clean, fresh water longer than that brand name cartridge ever did! I will definitely purchase this product again when the time comes.

I am so-so with this filter. The problem I have with it is the slight rotten egg/sulfer smell that it leaves in your water. If it wasn't for the slightly bad smell, I would have given it a higher rating.

Buy Water Sentinel WSF-1 Refrigerator Replacement Filter Now

I run a large pre-filter before the fridge. Bearing that in mind im sure the more expensive filters have better things in them, but for the price, if you change them regularly with or without a pre-filter I think these will keep the big stuff out and do just fine.

They fit is the factory filter did.
