How to build your own DIY water filter

Fri, 12 Jun 2009 00:00:00 -0400

Many of you, just like me, have been sipping bottle water or even tap water in some cases. For many years I tried to come up with an alternative but I wanted something that didn't cost that much.There was an easy way to my problem and I had to find it. My family and I usually spend about 3000 dollars for bottle water every year. This was huge. We decided to save some money. So this is how I started to research for another way in which to get clean, safe, filtered water at home. At first I know nothing of water filters and I had to do a lot of research. There are also many differences between the filters. But soon I understood that the cheap ones of just 50 dollars aren't worth a damn. They don't filter the water correctly. The parasites and the bacteria were left in the water after the filtration. But there are modern ones, with many features, that cost around or a bit more than 500 dollars. This is not a huge sum. But another idea crossed my mind. **End Summary** Topics: water filter]]> diy water filter]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Click here and learn how to build a do it yourself water filter and drink clean water, keep your family healthy and save money!

DIY Water Filters - How Important is to Drink Pure Water?

Fri, 12 Jun 2009 00:00:00 -0400

Some time ago I have discovered how polluted the tap water is in many developed countries, not just in the States. The water contains many harmful chemicals and toxins, bacteria and parasites.After I saw this, I just couldn't make myself to drink tap water. I had to look for alternatives. The tap water has a high concentration of heavy metals and toxins and they can make you sick really bad. Old people and kids are very susceptible to tap water induced diseases. The bottled water I thought it is the perfect solution. That till I realized how much money I was spending on it. Also, the bottled water has no restrictions on how it has to be filtrated, so you have no guarantees that it is safe. The truth be told, I thought it will be extremely complicated to make a filter that could be as effective as those expensive ones but after I started using it I've realized it's just as good. That as the moment when I decided to use a water filtration system at home. But high quality filters are quite expensive. The price is a few hundred dollars. **End Summary** Topics: water filter]]> diy water filter]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Click here and learn more about do it yourself water filters and drink clean water, keep your family healthy and save money!

How To Raise Hatched Chicks

Thu, 04 Jun 2009 00:00:00 -0400

Chickens can hatch artificially in an incubator. In the moment after the hatching you may want to get them out. That is not a wise thing to do. They must stay in that incubator for at least two or three days.Give time bit of time to adjust to the new environment and realize what is happening to them. Also, the chickens, pheasants and the quails can live for about three whole days without food or water. Another interesting thing about egg hatching is that when the chicken is inside the egg, a few days before he comes out, the yolk gets drawn to the navel. Then it travels through the chickenâ€™s stomach. This yolk will be used by the baby chicken to survive in the first days after hatching. The yolk is nourishment enough for him to gain a bit of strength and even become active. He will want to go and search for water and food. In the first couple of days there will be no gaining weight but only becoming active and ready to explore. Even if you observe that the chicken is interested in the water drops or another chickenâ€™s toes. **End Summary** Topics: chicken]]> chicken coop plans]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Click here now and learn how to build a chicken coop and save money!

Dog Distemper TransmissionThe disease can be spread by coming into contact with the bodily secretions and nasal fluid from an infected animal but most commonly ingestion via airborne particles from infected animals i.e. breathing in the particles. How can it be prevented? All dogs and all breeds are at risk from Canine Distemper with older dogs who have not been vaccinated and particularly puppies being most at risk because their immune systems are still immature. There is no cure for CDV, prevention is the only viable solution and since development of the vaccine in the early 1960's there has been a substantial reduction in the number of fatalities, attributed to this disease. At one time Canine Distemper was the highest reported cause of death in domestic dogs. **End Summary** Topics: canine distemper]]> dogs]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Canine distemper - articles and information on the canine distemper symptoms and canine distemper prevention .
