Six months ago, I installed our own Reverse Osmosis filtration system (the Whirlpool WHER25) to deal with the reports of lead in municipal water. We love the water, and this weekend replaced our pre and post filters (cost around $40 after tax from Lowe’s). Recommendations suggest changing these pre and post filters every 6 months, but state that the RO Membrane filter should be good for 1-3 years depending on water pH. Should be due in six months from today at the earliest (3/3/17).
Have gotten only half an inch of rain in the past week, so will need to water the vegetable garden. Tomatoes are still producing, but fruit is small (I think due to lack of water), and blossom-end rot is observed on one plant.
Also worked with my wife to make 3 dog bed covers, hopefully chew proof from our newest puppy. Very easy, just folded a yard of fabric in half to make a pillow case and tucked inside after placing an older dog bed in it. Will hopefully keep out the pesky pup.
