Kind Water Systems E-3000UV review – A Whole House Salt-Free Water Softener and Filter Combo with UV

KWSV 01

REVIEW – SoCal has HARD water. Enough so that we have mineral deposits on the water fixtures and our fridge’s ice maker refuses to function. Every now and then a review opportunity comes along that simply could not be timed better. This was exactly the case with the E-3000UV from Kind Water Systems. My wife

ekster cardholder 3

REVIEW – I have tended to keep wallets for a very long time in fact, in the slightly over half a century that I’ve been on this planet, I have only had 3.  I’ve worn them all out, and they’ve all been the same – a nylon billfold with a velcro closure.  But what I

smallrig s60 9

REVIEW – Many accessories are geared towards creators and casual videographers, but one accessory that many people think should be at the top of your list is a microphone to improve audio capture.

On occasion though I have found the need for a more discrete and gentlemanly folder. The Vosteed Parallel might just fit that gap in my collection. What is it? The Vosteed

Narwal FreoZ Review 27

REVIEW – Robot vacuums are great, but there is often a trade off.  Sure, you get a clean floor – but you have to remember to make sure the robot is ready to go for the next time it needs to clean by emptying it’s dust bin.  Narwal is continuing to improve on their impressive
