Custom Double Undercounter Water Filter Purifier with Doulton Ceramic
  • 12,000 Gallons Removes Chlorine, Lead, Chemicals, Heavy Metals.
  • Remove harmful bacteria, such as E. Coli, Fecal coliform, Samonella, Streptococcus, cysts.
  • Leaves beneficial minerals, such as calcium and magnesium, intact
  • Convenient - quality water right at your tap.
  • Quick-connect fittings make installation a snap!

Received order before the estimated time of arrival. Actually wasn''t able to put filter in place until after I got back from vacation --was expecting it to be delivered while I was out.

The installation of the filter was difficult but not becase of the filter. I do not have much space under the sink so I put it in the basement right below the sink counter. As such the tubing was too short so I did have to get new tubing from the hardware store. That was not a problem and I expected that as I changed the "normal set-up design" location. The only real problem that I had in installation (and it was difficult because of this not the filter) was trying to tighten up the faucet to the sink countertop. Not because of the filter but because of the location of the faucet. Could hardly get to it. What is really great about the filter is the "quick connects"! If it weren''t for them I would still be trying to "tighten up" the tubing to the faucet as there just wasn''t any room under the sink to get a wrench in for tightening it. They are great!!

The reason I am writing this review however is not for the above but rather for this. The filter did have a slight leak in the connection between the filter chambers. Not really too bad but still a leak and it shouldn''t have been there. I called the Technical help number at Crystal Clear Supply, Inc and was expecting the normal run around that one usually gets when you call in with a problem about an order. I was able to talk with a "person" within a matter of a minute and the issue was resolved in another minute or so. When I described the problem I was told that it was one of two things. 1) If the filter is rough handled in delivery sometimes the plastic coupling can develop a minute crack in it and it would give a slow leak or 2) It may just not have been tightened enough when it was put together in the first place. In any event he said he would get a new coupling out to me asap just in case it was cracked. He then told me how to tighten the coupling etc. He couldn''t have been more helpful. As it turned out the coupling was just a little loose and with a little tightening the leak disappeared. (I did, at his suggestion, use some plumbers teflon tape also). The plastic coupling came in the mail two days later, but I didn''t need it. The filter is working as it should and my wife is loving it as the water before filtering had the "funny" chlorine taste to it and now it doesn''t. (I did the behind your back taste test four times with her and she was able to pick the filtered water every time.) What she doesn''t know is that I know the other "crap" in the water is also out because of these filters.

Couldn''t be happier with the filters and especially with the Customer/Technical service from Crystal Clear.

So far, it is everything as advertised. Was delivered quickly, and installed easily. The water is clear and taste good. The main reason I purchased this item, was that it was advertised to remove bacteria as well as many other contaminants. I am confident it is doing what it is designed for, however, have not tested for this, as of yet. At this point, I highly recommend.

As far as I know it works great. I haven''t tested our water so I can''t be certain. I was irritated that I had to have it shipped to Ohio to my daughter who then shipped it to me as they won''t deliver to Alaska. (Last time I looked, Alaska is part of the United States!) After it cost me double the shipping, there were no instructions. My husband, who isn''t exactly the handy-ist of all people, was able to install it after a discussion as to which filter should be filtering first. He still has one leak but I think it may be because a water line wasn''t cut perfectly straight (?). It fits nicely under our sink and attaches to the side of the cabinet. The water flow is good.

Cuisinart DCC-1000BK Filter Brew 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker Save 50% Off

Cuisinart DCC-1000BK Filter Brew 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker, BlackI just purchased this unit for about 60 bucks to replace a white Kitchenaid unit that burned out.Since the white unit developed a lot of permanent stains I got a black one,problem solved. O.K. here is what is good about this coffeemaker.IT MAKES GREAT FULL BODIED COFFEE.Programing the features was easy for me, a guy that can''t navigate the menu of my phones.I like the fact that I can program my own shutoff duration.The coffee comes out very hot but not scalding. It also stays hot without tasting bitter.This is the first coffeemaker I have owned that the brew interupt feature works without dripping.This is due to a very strong spring on the basket but more on this later. It is also the first unit I have had that does not get coffee spooge all over the water spout and other parts.But in truth I rarely make more than 8 cups at a time. Lastly the carafe does not drip when you pour. Now for my complaints. Due to the afore mentioned spring you need two hands to remove and replace the carafe. Big deal. The reservoir is a little hard to fill due to a small opening.Also to get the last ounce of water out of the carafe you must turn it almost compleatly over.Dropping the basket in the unit is a little confusing the first few times. This unit is not for people with certain handicaps.Please keep in mind that this unit is only a week old as of this writing. However at this time I will say that this is the best coffeemaker I have ever owned.I expect that the brew interupt will fail eventualy,But I hardly ever use it so no prob.for me. The over all construction appears to be very solid so maybe this one will last more than the usual 2-1/2 years of it predecessors.

The Cuisinart DCC-1000 bears the brand name of Cuisinart which is supposed to instill confidence in the quality of the product. Unfortunately, this particular Cuisinart product is middle-of-the-road at best. Why? See the strengths and weaknesses below.

Strengths:

1) Auto shut-off Very convenient for those of us who can never bring themselves to shut the coffeemaker off. For the reviewer who had difficulty trying to enable the auto-off feature, set the dial to "Auto-Off" and then set the allotted time using the "hr" and "min" buttons.

2) Programmable Very handy for having fresh brewed coffee to greet you at work or home.

3) Taste The coffeemaker plus the charcoal filter produces a fine tasting cup of joe.

Weaknesses:

1) Filling the coffemaker THIS is a big deficiency. The mechanics for filling the coffeemaker using the carafe (as opposed to using a sink-based vegetable sprayer for example) are poor. The placement of the lid combined with the narrowness of the water resevoir makes for a difficult pour. Many times, I will end up with water either still in the carafe, in the cone or else, spilled on the floor.

2) The use of cone filters Generally, it''s personal preference whether one likes cone filters or basket filters for the automatic drip coffeemaker and my stated preference is for the basket filter. However, even with that bias revealed, the Cuisinart still presents difficulty. Sometimes, the cone filter will bend under the pressure of the sprayed water blocking filitration to the coffee grinds and what you will end up with is filtered water. This proves exceedingly annoying.

Make no mistakes, even with the cone filter, this product could have achieved a 5 star rating if it were not for the clumsy designs of the water resevoir and the difficulties in filling it. If you have a vegetable sprayer or are a proficient master at pouring from the resevoir, then I recommend buying this Cuisinart. If you are like me and either have this coffemaker at work or if you are at home with no vegetable sprayer and are not proficient in the carafe pour, then I would suggest another product.

Buy Cuisinart DCC-1000BK Filter Brew 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker Now

I purchased this Cuisinart coffemaker in Oct. 2001 to replace a KitchenAid (which lasted just over a year before it died) and haven''t had the problems that some of the reviewers have noted such as difficulty pouring water in the tank, the pause feature dripping (which I seldom use, anyway because taking a cup out before the entire pot brews makes the remaining coffee more weak), or difficulty with removing & returning the carafe to the hot plate. Sounds like a totally different product! The coffee temperature is adequately hot and coffee is full-bodied (I like my coffee strong & robust, but not bitter). I got the black color which looks great and doesn''t show stains--I avoid white because I''ve had several brands which all yellowed and looked bad after several usings in that color. Overall, this has been a good coffeemaker for me!

I''ve had this coffee maker for about 9 months. It makes coffee just fine for the first several weeks. The problem is the water reservoir and the drip/filter/basket assembly are not separated. This is a problem with all the Cuisinart coffee makers sharing this basic design. I grind my own beans or use Starbucks pre-ground or similar fine-ground coffees. Coffee grounds and dust get into the water reservoir, and coffee scum builds up in the reservoir and all around the drip mechanism and area under the lift-up top. There are lots of small crevices and corners where the scum accumulates, and it is not possible to take the unit apart and clean thoroughly. Rag wiping just seems to push coffee grounds back into holes in the drip mechanism. Coffee maker cleaners like Dip-It can be used to clean the water path, but the machine is still visibly dirty inside...really dirty. I''ve had Braun, Krupps and Starbucks Barista Aroma Grande machines. Never see one with this much of a coffee dirt problem. I think eventually coffee residue of any kind in the reservoir builds up on the heating element, taints the flavor of coffee, slows the brew process and eventually gums up and ruins the heating element. Don''t buy this coffee maker.

Amana APO77R 7000-BTU Portable Electronic Air Conditioner

Amana APO77R 7000-BTU Portable Electronic Air ConditionerAs a previous poster noted, Amana does not acknowledge the existence of these rebadged Haier units on its site. Unfortunately, Haier also does not seem to acknowledge them, making support put-near impossible. The a/c unit does require a small window (or a large one largely blocked off) which can take some work if your windows are not the right size, but that''s true of any unit like these. It is a very handy unit, without the need to empty buckets. It is also fairly noisy, with odd controls that require the remote. It was great the first year we had it, less so the second despite careful storage. You''d probably do better with a domestic-production (or European, or Japanese) unit if you can find one.

This unit works great. It is really powerfull and pretty quiet. Comes on wheels so it is easy to move around. Keeps our large rooms cool right through the summer. Note this needs to vent out of a window. No problem for me and I''m really happy with it!

Buy Amana APO77R 7000-BTU Portable Electronic Air Conditioner Now

Its great. No buckets of water to empty daily and well worth the cost. I use it to cool a spare bedroom that is usually very hot, and it has made that room cool enough to make it comfortable to sleep in. It does vent out a window, but easily moved into closet during cooler months or as a back up a/c when the whole house air fails. It will only cool one room, but at this price point, () its well worth any short falls. Velcro remote to top of unit so does not get lost is suggested or keeping remote in a nearby draw for safe keeping.

I bought this for my daughter in college. Since she was not able to put anything that would stick out of the window, this seemed like the best alternative. She says that it has worked well and made her top floor room much more bearable. I would recommend this for anyone looking to cool off a small room or for some spot cooling.

It makes allot of noise so put your TV on the opposite side of the room from your air conditioner or your neighbors will be complaining. hahahahaha

Glisten Dishwasher Cleaner It works hard to remove built-up soap scum

Glisten Dishwasher Cleaner It works hard to remove built-up soap scum, food stains and discoloration from iron and other water impuritiesI had read some reviews on this before getting and thought it might do better than an at home remedy to get rid of some bad scum and hard water marks in our previously owned dishwasher. It did a decent job but I still had to run a few cycles through with vinegar and bleach to get stains out. For convience and basic upkeep people would probably like this just to run through their dishwasher once or twice a year, but bleach would probably work just as well.

I have two other reverse osmosis systems in my house but needed one that provided a greater GPD for a more demanding application. The water in my area ( GREAT LAKES ) has many minerals. After processing through the RO filter it comes out tasteless and ( literally) smooth. The only thing that I would have liked as an option would have been a larger storage tank. My stand alone ice maker uses a lot of water. If you have ever had an ice maker you may know what a chore it is to keep clean when you have really (HARD) water. I thought the freight charge was a bit high but this comes in a very large and somewhat heavy box.

The over all product is good. Has nice features and produces some good quality water. Glad I got the clear first cylinder to monitor the condition of the filter. Just after a month of use, the first filter has caught a bunch of small rust and sand particles. It''s crazy to know that this much debris is in my city tap water. The only reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5 is because the installation wasn''t exactly the easiest.

Super fast delivery, quailty construction and great tasting water for half the cost! Clear first stage helps with filter/water condition and viewing. Tubing color helps with system connections. Changing filters is a snap with easy connetions, provided cannister wrenches and drop in filters. Installation is simple if instructions provided are followed. You need toolsto install-drill, mine was a 5/8" metl drill bit for the hole for the faucet since my sink wasn''t set up with the extra hole and small drill bit for the drain line. Other tools included wrenches, pliers, awl (or soemthing to set drill bit location on metal sink), screw drivers and a torpedo level (to mount system level).

Recieved the unit well before time promised. Although it was packed well the input fitting on the first filter housing got broken, probably because the box looked like it was dropped on its side. No problem though as it is a threaded 90 and jambing a 10" flat blade screw driver into it got ot out. If this happens to you make sure to use 3 wraps of pipe tape on the new one. And guess what! You get 2 spares in the package. The instructions did not mention it but the little blue 3/4 ring on the fittings has a raised edge so it may be removed and the spider lock can be released so the tubing can be removed and the fittings reused. You also get 3 spares just in case.

This is only the first day of use and we will have water testing done as we are on a well but I expect good results and will add to this review as necassary.

As far as the supplier goes, Great support! Had to ask a couple of questions and E-mail response was excellent. When I sent an E-mail to make sure the broken fitting was threaded I got a phone call within an hour with an answer.

As of now I highly recommend this unit. If your water pressure is low buy the one with the booster pump.

It has been 5 1/2 months now and I can only rave about this unit. Ice maker doesn''t gunk up and the smell from the ice is gone. The cat fountain stays much cleaner and as an added beneflt we no longer need the filter in our table top humidifier which will save about $100 a season and very little cleaning is needed.

Samsung : HAFCN/XAA Aqua-Pure Plus Refrigerator Water Filter Save 48% Off

Samsung : HAFCN/XAA Aqua-Pure Plus Refrigerator Water Filter
  • 100% GENUINE SAMSUNG WATER FILTER
  • Compatible with RM255 Series Samsung Refridgerator

After trying to unsuccessfully replace my Samsung branded filter with another aftermarket filter, via Amazon, I finally relented and paid the price for this water filter. This water filter is exactly the same as my Samsung water filter, and fit perfectly into my four section Samsung refrigerator. The two issues I have are regarding both the price of this filter and the shipping. I sure wish I could find this filter elsewhere, either through another vendor on Amazon or locally, because I just feel like I''m being fleeced by this company for the cost of a necessary filter for my refrigerator, in addition to higher shipping costs. I understand the need for vendors to make money during this economy. However, I sure wish vendors didn''t feel the need to make money by fleecing their customers who have no other choice of filters.

*sigh* I''m sure I''ll order the filter from this company again because we love to get really cold, filtered water from our refrigerator...I just wish we weren''t stripped of our money so much during the process. Either drop or reduce the shipping costs, or drop the price of the filter. Please? Thanks in advance.

Not much to review, unless it doesn''t work ... so this will be simple. I ordered the filter as a replacement for my Samsung quad fridge and it works well. A simple design of plug and go. My previous filter lasted over two years and the water was completely tasteless different than the tap, that''s for sure. The product number may have changed, but the filter fits like the original equipment.

I had always purchased this filter from our local big box hardware store to go into our Samsung RM255LASH refrigerator. Unfortunately, they stopped carrying this filter about a year ago. Before they were available here on Amazon, I tried to get them from Samsung Parts, and I was told they were backordered for several weeks. I tried an alternative (green) filter that I found here on Amazon, and it leaked all over our refrigerator.

I purchased one of these filters a few weeks ago, and it''s just like the ones I used to buy at the hardware store perfect fit, no leaks. I am going to buy several more in case Samsung stops carrying them, as this filter seems to get harder and harder to find over time. I''d definitely recommend this filter and seller.

2,500 Gallon Capacity Upgraded Replacement Filter Cartridge set

2,500 Gallon Capacity Upgraded Replacement Filter Cartridge set for Everpure THM 1 & 2 and H-1200I''m trying this out as a replacement for the Everpure filters, which only last 4-6 months (we never get 1000 gallons out of them). The installation is straight forward, and a bit easier since they''re shorter than the Everpure H-1200. The water flavor is similar to what we got from Everpure, and I like the fact that it uses a solid carbon block for filtering. I''m hoping it will last longer (2,500 gallons?), and will try to update the review in about 8 months.

Berkey Light with 2 Black Filters and 2 PF-2 Fluoride Filters Save 14% Off

Berkey Light with 2 Black Filters and 2 PF-2 Fluoride FiltersI question where some of these reviewers got their information about performance tests. Check out .

On one of the tabs you''ll find analysis results.

The FAQ page says: "There are simply too many varieties of pharmaceuticals that could end up in drinking water. By too many I mean it is impossible to test for them all. However, we do know from testing, that the purification process used by the Black Berkey elements remove more pollutants than any other system available on the market today." It also describes a test you can do by adding red food coloring to the water to be sure the filter is working. Any filter that will remove red food coloring has to be pretty effective.

Regarding the high TDS rate one reviewer mentions, the FAQ page says, "Berkey purification systems do not remove the beneficial minerals from the water but they do extract harmful heavy metals such as lead and mercury as well as sedimentary minerals such as iron oxide. Therefore, the TDS (total dissolved solids) reading will not typically change much unless there are a lot of heavy metals or sedimentary minerals in the source water."

About viruses, the FAQ page says: "Berkey is the original North American distributor for British Berkefeld, a company who makes the finest ceramic water filter available. These ceramic filters are excelent at removing harmful bacteria from sediment heavy, contaminated drinking water. It soon became clear to Berkey that a more powerful filter was needed, one that not only removed bacteria but was also in addition able to remove chemicals, viruses, heavy metals fertilizers and a long list of additional contaminants from your drinking water. After many years of research Berkey developed the Black Berkey purification element. This filter gives you all of the benifits of the ceramic filter with the added abilities mentioned above. Black Berkey purification element signifigantly raised the bar to a level that no other gravity flow water filters are curently able to attain."

These filters are used all over the world by aid agencies. You won''t find any filter on the market that will purify better. Certainly not simple charcoal filters like Pur. On this page: it explains that a water filter has to remove 99.99% of pathogenic bacteria. To be sold as a "purifier" it has to remove 99.9999%. "All Berkey systems that contain the Black Berkey elements are classified as water purifiers. In fact Berkey Water Purifiers remove 99.9999999% (log 9 reduction) of pathogenic bacteria. To our knowledge no other water filtration device in the world can match that claim."

I have had a Big Berky for 2 months, due to a cancer diagnosis my treatment plan requires drinking pure water with no added fluoride and no residual agrotoxins, etc. The Berkey filters were the best solution I could find of anything on the market and we''re loving the water and quick and easy system.

I live in Thailand where all drinking water comes in large plastic containers, most of which bake in the hot sun for hours while being transported to shops to be sold. So even the best quality drinking water here tastes of plastics, chemicals and metals.

Now I simply pour this ''drinking water'' through my beloved Berkey Light and it comes out tasting like heaven! So pure, so tasteless and some how it even feels like ''wetter'' water in my mouth. Perhaps the water molecules are reduced in size due to the extensive filtering.

NOTE: if you are attaching the white PF-2 Flouride Filters be sure not to turn them more than the recommended 8 turns, I didn''t read the instructions fully and when I attached them I heard a crunch I managed to break the media screen by turning too much hope this doesn''t end up harming my health too much!

I cannot recommend this product highly enough 5 stars!

I wish I had invested in one of these 5 years ago!

Buy Berkey Light with 2 Black Filters and 2 PF-2 Fluoride Filters Now

First, the good. The Berkey water filter system works without electricity, is one of the most thorough filters on the market, and produces great tasting water. I don''t regret purchasing this item, however, I do have some gripes. For one thing, the instructions that come with the filter are REEE-diculous. For almost $300, I would expect a better set of instructions, one that was produced for my exact product, not a general sort of guide with alot of if''s, and''s and but''s concerning different optional pieces. Also, the text and illustrations looked like they were written and drawn by a fifth grader... and not a particularly talented one. Note to other purchasers: all the filters need to be flushed out with tap water using the spongy little donut thingie to keep you from spraying water off the sides of the spigot. And if you get the flouride filters, only turn them eight times when attaching or you might damage them. Also, I thought the plastic was a bit flimsy, especially for the price. I was expecting something a little more solid. On the plus side, the plastic has no BPA''s in it, which is a plus for the fellas, because BPA''s are converted into estrogen in the body... not good for boys. At the end of the day, it does produce some great tasting water, and I guess that''s all that matters. I just feel like I need to deduct a star for the pathetic instructions it came with.

Read Best Reviews of Berkey Light with 2 Black Filters and 2 PF-2 Fluoride Filters Here

We live in town and our local water supply had so much residual chlorine in it that it got to the point I wouldn''t drink water at the end of the day. It had kind of a strange taste the first time we used the Berkey, but I don''t know if that is because we weren''t used to it or because it had some residual coating on the plastic. We washed ours before use, but I think if I had to do it over I would wash the containers a couple of times before running my first set of water through.

One of the coolest things to do is put food coloring in the top container and watch it come out clear in the bottom. This is actually part of the set up procedure in the instructions. Set up took about 15 minutes, the threads on the bottom of the filters are fine and about an inch long so that you can thread the PF2 filters on the bottom. We haven''t actually used our PF2 filters yet. I wanted to try it without for awhile and then try it with the PF2 filters and see if we noticed a taste difference. The rest of the thing just snaps together, and is easy enough to take apart that my wife doesn''t have any issues. It is recommended that you take the bottom section apart once a month and wash it with soap to prevent algae growth.

The only thing I am not super thrilled with is the spigot. It is a pretty much standard like water cooler spigot, but it is kinda a flimsy plastic and the seals that seal it to the container are ok, but I had some leaking issues when I first assembled it. The instructions for the spigot seal are kinda ambiguous as well because they are bell shaped and can go either way, still not sure which way they are suppossed to go, but it doesn''t leak.

All in all good product, glad for the light weight and movability, but not sold on the spigot.

Want Berkey Light with 2 Black Filters and 2 PF-2 Fluoride Filters Discount?

I''ve had the Berkey light for a few months now and overall, I''m happy with it. I bought it with the intention of using it to filter out flouride or purify water in the event of an emergency. Unfortunately for my reviews, I tend to point out the things I don''t like about things. First of all, this thing is huge. If this is a Berkey light, I shudder to think what size the other ones are. To put it simply, this will not fit on most kitchen counters as it''s easily three feet tall. Next, and probably the biggest complaint is build quality. You can tell most of the technology for the Berkey light was put into the filters. The design of the unit itself is cheap in my opinion. Not only that, but I discovered the unit will leak if you leave water in the top reservoir. While this isn''t a major problem for me, it may be for some. Basically, you have to wait until the bottom unit empties out of water until you fill the top up with water. Considering the top unit holds 2.5 gallons of water, you can see how this may be a hassle for some people. Last is the taste of the water itself. I didn''t notice a difference in taste between using the Berkey and a Brita water filter. Despite all of these flaws, I''m still happy with the product however, I would recommend others to spend a few extra dollars and by one of the metal containers. Hopefully that would resolve the issue with the leaks.

Adya AC2OZ Clarity 2 Ounce Ionic Mineral Solution

Adya AC2OZ Clarity 2 Ounce Ionic Mineral SolutionI received my Adya clarity yesterday and was very curious to try it, wanted to see the water cloud up and all that. Well, i put the drops in a glass of tap water, and nothing clouded up, the water turned a little yellow, with no sediment. What the heck, I thought maybe I''ve been duped... Anyways, let it sit for 6 hours, still no sediment. Decided I might as well taste it, comparing it to an untreated glass of tap water. Yes, remarkable taste difference. Texture of water "soft" , and that "sweet" kind of non-taste that I do recall from a natural spring once a long time ago. Ok, that was nice. Went back to my work and forgot all about it, felt mildly disappointed it wasn''t more of a WOW experience, oh well. In less than 20 minutes I "woke up", my space totally cleared, my fuzzy (stuck to the internet working all day) eyesight just went ZING !!!and I felt so refreshed, alert, and energized, and i''d only had a half a glass! Drank some more before retiring, woke up this morning and can I say this here, had the L o n g e s t "p" of my life. No morning fuzzy mouth, fully awake before my coffee fix, I even thought about forgetting the coffee (what????) that has NEVEr happened in my life. Great stuff this ! And I am actually glad to know the tap water here is not so bad, ie no sediment coming out, but definitely taste the absence of flouride and chlorine, that''s a great thing. And now I know why they call it "adya CLARITY". Very pleasantly surprised. Highly recommend.

I was looking for reviews on ''Adya Clarity''.... when i say reviews i was looking for all ''Good'', ''Neutral'' or''Bad'' reviews.. but was very curious that there was ONLY ''Good'' reviews.....interesting.. I was wanting to heal from a medium case of diarrhea issues and a naturapath wondered if it could be candida related... i was following these rawfoodworld ''M and A'' people at that time and found that they were selling this latest and greatest Adya Clarity for 200 dollars that they claimed HEALED A of candida... so i decided to spend my savings on it...reasoning it as my health is more important than money... i drank it... and it did not change anything for me... my case was ''neutral'' hoping it has not caused any harm...

well recently i found that these same people ''Rawfoodworld'' are selling it at half price ''At cost'' specials ...the first thing that comes to mind is .. why is it being sold at 100% profit? the second is, is it really ''At cost'' now or is it still marked up? Why is it so expensive when Black mica is found cheaply? It was pretty frustrating that there are people out there that show that they are interested in the health of people but are very similar to car salesmen just selling something different...the targeted group is people who are trying to heal...

Ofcourse posting this frustration on their youtube links only led to being deleted.. why would they keep it? wont it affect their sales and their life style depends on it.. M and A remind me of the characters in the movie ''the Jonses'' if you havent seen it, worthwhile watching! just selling products thats about it... even when they are showing a recipe for a Smoothie... they are still selling products...it is unreal how people can get sucked into believing anything... it is no different than Fox News..

Hey everyone,

Before you buy adya clarity please read this consumer alert notice (see link below). To sum up: it is most likely a multimillion dollar scam, it''s potentially dangerous, and the company has been untruthful in the ingredients list. It is also imported as "battery acid"....that should be a heads up right there. Please read for an excellent review:

As far as all the positive testimonials...remember that placebo is a very powerful effect. The more you believe in something, the more powerful it is!

Cheers,

Sarah

Adya Clarity is a potent product that can leave you with some very difficult to correct conditions. I personally bought into the whole "super shots" thing and after about a month I have a major rash on my forearms that looked like poison ivy but the blisters were not watery. They itched and were very noticeable when wearing short sleeves. My muscles became weaker and my skin where the rash was became partially numb. Then my shoulder and back muscles began to knot up resulting in me being unable to fully raise my RIGHT ARM and I am right handed. The shoulder and back muscles ached constantly and made sleeping very difficult. This condition still exists even though I discontinued using the product a couple months ago. I am a 53 year old male who was in very good health before trying the Adya Clarity. I am not sure exactly what the Adya Clarity reacted with in my body but I know that I will never again use this product and I caution anyone who is considering its use that its results are unpredictable and potentially disabling.

Crane Demineralization Filter Cartridge Save 18% Off

Crane Demineralization Filter Cartridge for Crane Frog, Cow, Pig, Panda, Penguin and Elephant Cool Mist HumidifiersMy advice is to keep the original cap in case you decide this filter is not for you.

It managed to stop mineral deposits from building up further on the side of the resevoir, but the water gained a musty smell after a 15 gallons/three weeks of use. I sanitize with chlorinated water bi-weekly.

It was especially apparent in warm heated rooms. The risk of bacterial growth outweighs the benefits of the filter for me and I do not recommend this product.

I got a lot of these Crane humidifiers. We have a lot of minerals in our water, so I got these filters. Some of the humidifiers made too much noise to use in a bedroom. They are extremely cute, though, and inexpensive.

I got white dust everywhere even with the filters, even after also using water run through another charcoal filter. If you are serious about these humidifiers, you need to use distilled water. Then you won''t need these filters.

About the white dust, I mean literally everywhere, inside the DVD player for instance. I have quit using all of the Crane humidifiers and put them away. I was really sad about this, because they are so cute. They did raise the humidity about 10%. We live in the desert, it is very dry in the winter.

I bought the Crane Penguin humidifier about 2 months ago. The filter arrived about a week later. My experience applies to people using HARD TAP WATER. So far I''ve found that, although the filter helped with keeping the humidifier a bit cleaner (I clean it once a week with diluted bleach for the tank and vinegar for the base), it only seemed to work to reduce white dust (from hard water minerals) for just over a month, using the humidifier at a low or medium setting. I''m considering using distilled water instead it might work out cheaper than having to replace the filter every couple of months. I would definitely advise to keep the original cap for the tank and try the humidifier with and without filter.

This filter ruined my humidifier which had worked perfectly without it. Here is what happened to me. The humidifier, with filter in place, had been running for a couple of days when I noticed an odd smell upon entering the room. I determined it was coming from the humidifier, so I unplugged it and removed the water tank to take a look. To my shock, the bottom on the humidifier was filled with the amber colored pellets that once were inside the filter. The pellets filled up the area that should have been filled with water. The reservoir had water in it and the unit continued to run, but was overheating because the water wasn''t able to flow. The heat damaged (melted) the nebulizer black ring so that the water just leaks right through the bottom now. I am glad that I found out before it caused a fire. Crane customer service has not responded to my email either.

I don''t know what this thing was really designed to do but it seems that mostly what it does is fill your dehumidifier with icky brown water.

Black & Decker CM1050W 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker

Black & Decker CM1050W 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker, WhiteThis is my 1st B&D coffee-maker. I recently purchased locally for an exceptionally low price (Amazon has been alerted). I like this coffemaker so far. It was well packaged. Unit is quite tall, so placement under cabinets may be problematic ( water-filling, steam, etc.. ).

This unit has identical features and is a very similar in design to B&D''s DLX1050W (or B) models ( check out those reviews ). Only visible difference that I notice is in the shape of the control-buttons.

The coffeemaker features I like are : the bright-LED time display, programmable brew-time, steal-a-cup, 2hr shut-off and the water reservoir (easy access to refill & removeable parts for easy cleaning).

The features I don''t like : View port for water-reservoir (on right side only & difficult to read). Control buttons seem fragile (prone to early failure). Carafe glass seems thin & fragile. Steal-a-cup mechanics seem failure prone ( as in ... brewing-coffee overflowing from filter ).

Coffemaker quickly makes a nice hot pot of great smelling & tasting coffee.

Note: Before brewing the 1st pot of coffee, I suggest you first run a vinegar-water solution through the unit, followed by a plain tap water brew-cycle to remove any manufacturing residues, smells or tastes.

It has been reported that the 2-yr B&D warranty is "sketchy", but I read that some retailers insist that the mfr. honor stated warranty w/o charge to consumer (imagine that?).

Like most coffemakers in this price range/class, they are not built to last long (i.e. planned obsolescence). I hope this one suprises me. My last coffee maker (P-S 43571) lasted only 10 months and nearly started a fire.

I bought this for my husband to keep in his home office. It has all the basic features of more expensive coffee makers. The clock can be set to allow for programming a brew time, though we may or may not put that to much use. For the price, it''s nice to have the option. It is easy to set the clock time and brew time. The buttons are almost flush with the front surface, just slightly raised. This makes for easy cleaning with a rag. Brew time and noise level are average. The carafe spout makes for adequate pouring, though we have owned a B&D coffee maker in the past that had a large square lip that made pouring super easy with virtually no dripping. Can''t say that about this one, but then virtually all other coffee maker carafes drip while you pour them. Sure wish they would start designing them better. I found that filling the carafe with water and then pouring it in the water tank was a bit messy, so I now use a large plastic cup for filling it. Much neater.

This coffee maker has the sneak-a-cup feature that allows you to remove the carafe briefly during brewing to pour yourself a cup if you can''t wait. The little lever makes contact with the carafe lid and stops the dripping. I have had coffee makers in the past with this feature, and I will tell you the problem you might have with it. If you don''t have the carafe set perfectly in place on the heat plate, the lid does not make contact with the little lever it does not engage. The water fills up the coffee filter and then overflows all over your kitchen counter and floor. For this reason, we have always removed that little lever and decided we could live without the sneak-a-cup feature. After you have to clean up that mess a couple of times, you might like this handy hint about removing the lever. It serves no other purpose than to allow for removal of the carafe during brewing.

The other concern I have with this style of coffee maker is the fact that the "controls" or buttons are on the very front of the unit. Most of them are designed this way, so I''m not pointing out a unique design flaw here. Unfortunately, after you have dripped or spilled water and/or coffee on electrical controls enough times, they will short out. You have to spend a lot more money for a coffee maker that has its controls in a different location, so just plan on occasionally having to buy a new one from time to time if you opt for this design.

Now for the flaw: For the price, I think this is a good coffee maker, and I would have given it 5 stars except for one design flaw that I feel is unique to this one. Even though there is a 2-hour auto-off feature, we tend to go through a pot before the 2 hours are up. We also occasionally pour the coffee into a thermos to take on the road. In this case, we need to remember to turn off the coffee pot to prevent the last bit of coffee sitting there scorching in the bottom. This particular model has a very tiny green light that is the ONLY indicator that the hot plate is still turned on. It looks much like the tiny green light that tells you the time/alarm is set to "PM". It is really easy to not realize that you have left the coffee maker on. Thank goodness for the 2-hour auto-off, but that doesn''t change the fact that most coffee makers have a large, bold red or green light.

Overall, however, I would still have to say that this is a very good, inexpensive coffee maker for your basic needs.

I got this for a great price at a local retailer, it is essentially the same as the DLX1050B which a certain magazine rated as 77/100. It is the only coffee pot rated so high for less than 3-5 times the price I paid. It is 975 watts, this fact is never included in any product description for some reason. It brews hot. I have it in a trailer where it is making 8-12 pots a day in a work environment. I swear I''ll update this in 2 weeks when our project is over and let you know how it has held up. It looks great and is easy to use. If you aren''t a wingnut, it pours without dripping, just be patient with it and don''t expect it to fill your travel mug in 3.8 milliseconds or less.

You cannot beat the price and it works fantastic. Timer and all. Very easy to clean too. Makes a pot of coffee really quickly.

I bought this a week ago @ walmart for a great price! I wanted to get a well made coffee maker and wanted to spend a decent amount for one since my fiance uses them a lot but needed white and there were only 2 white ones to choose from out of many! I got this one since it was a higher price than the other but still was under $20! I was kinda bummed because for the first time I actually wanted to spend a pretty penny for something and well, there wasn''t anything I wanted above $20! BUT... now I''m VERY happy this was my only choice! Coffee comes out super hot right away! And I like how it''s programmable especially for the price! Another thing I like is how the filter basket is BLACK! They tend to get stained up over time & the black masks it! It also has a sneak a cup feature which is nice! It really seems like a good product for how inexpensive it is! I recommend it to anyone wanting to get a low price coffee maker!

Hario Paper Filter Misarashi for 02 Dripper 100sheets

Hario Paper Filter Misarashi for 02 Dripper 100sheetsI have used mellita brown filters for years, and always thought they were the best-until now! For the same price, these are clearly better, at least when used with a Hario filter holder. The latter are more expensive than the plastic mellita holders, but are made from ceramic, glass or resin(chapest) and are quite beautiful in both form and function. The filters fit these perfectly. I read about these filters in The New York Times, in a piece on the best coffee bars in town.

The filters are hard to find in shops, so i ordered them from Amazon. I brew one cup at a time, wet the grounds and wait about 30 seconds (for the coffee to "bloom" ie, release oils and gasses), and then add water slowly ih a spiral pattern to wet the grounds evenly. This is simpler than it sounds and takes about 2 minutes. The Hario instructions say to pour the water directiy down the center, but the spiral method makesa richer cup. Also remember to pour hot water through the filter, in the holder, first. This washes out all the filter dust that is a byproduct of the manufacturing process in any brand of paper filter ( "soaking").

The "nose" of this filter prevents breakage, and it works on the V60. Expensive, but purpose-built, marvelous coffee EVERYTIME...

I was a diehard Chemex user until I received a Hario V60 for Christmas (OK in all fairness, I had asked Santa for it). These filters are the best I''ve ever used. Absolutely zero paper taste, so the intended flavor of the coffee comes out after the care taken in roasting and brewing it.

And yes, wet the filter with hot water before adding your ground coffee :)

These filters work absolutely perfectly in the Hario V60 ceramic dripper. I love that they are stiff enough so they don''t crumple as you pour water over them. Also, they don''t impart any strange taste into the coffee. I''ll be ordering more of these when mine run out.

Want Hario Paper Filter Misarashi for 02 Dripper 100sheets Discount?

Excellent paper filters all around.

The "seam" is small and easily folds to one side to maintain roundness of the filter when placed in the Hario V60 dripper. The filter itself is also big enough that about 1/8" 1/4" is visible above the edge of the Hario V60 size 02 dripper.

I would purchase these again and recommend them to anyone with a Hario V60.

Santevia Water Filtration System

Santevia Water Filtration System - Counter Top Model, 1 UnitI LOVE this water filter. We didn''t order it from Amazon because I just discovered they ship and sell it. Now that I know I will be ordering the replacement filters. Occasionally I have to drink regular tap water and I am shocked at how different and gross it tastes. Our system has never leaked as another review indicated. Nothing has cracked either. It was survived 2 moves one across the country. I couldn''t live without Santevia water!

I wanted a filter that did not depend on electricity and would not be as wasteful as my ro system. This system does exactly what it claims on the company website. That being said, if you are looking for a wide spectrum water filter that aggressively removes all contaminants... or is useable with anything but tap water-you will have to look elsewhere.

My one complaint... like numerous others I have seen complaining about the spout leaking; so does my unit (very minor leak but very annoying). I suspect the trouble is with the relatively thin and cheap quality washers that are included with the Santevia for the water tap fitting on the container wall. The silicone washers that seal between the upper and lower containers at the ceramic filter are very thick, high and high grade. I suspect that if the Santevia people would have not cheaped out on these tap washers that there would be no leak problems at all. I plan to go and buy my own to remedy the problem.

I did not buy this from Amazon because, at the time, I didn''t realize they sold it. I bought my Santevia Counter Top model approximately seven months ago. I love it. The water tastes fresh and clean and you can actually see the difference in the water quality when you look at the top tank versus the bottom one. I have not had any problems with leakage or such. The only reason I gave this system 4 stars is because Santevia still has not come out with a filter to remove fluoride. But the missing star is strictly for the filter. Other than that, I am more than pleased with my purchase. Cleaning the pre-filter is a snap. It takes all of about a minute. I use this water for drinking, cooking, tea making, soups, smoothies, coffee, etc. I had never really seen crystal clear water until this system. I would definitely recommend.

I did not buy my unit from Amazon but I wanted to comment on how much we love the water this product produces. We have nasty tasting tap water and I bought the Santevia model that fits into a water cooler. I can''t vouch for the countertop leakage since I didn''t get that model, thus I give 5 stars. The water that you get is crystal clear and tastes amazing. You can even see the slight cloudiness in the top tank before filtration and the clear, sparkling water in the lower tank after filtration. You won''t believe the nasty stuff that remains in the top tank I have to clean the prefilter AND top tank pretty often. But that''s OK I would rather clean it out than drink it! I also use the water for baking and boiling pasta and vegetables. I just went with a cheap water cooler for my unit from Home Depo for $100 bucks. I think it was worth it. I feel bad that some people have noticed leakage from the countertops. My husband likes this filter so much he wanted to buy a countertop for the people at his work....maybe he will decide on another water cooler model.

Since I last reviewed this product we did go ahead and purchase a countertop model for the employees at my husband''s work. There have been no leaks and everyone absolutely LOVES it! I will say that I once called the company with some questions and they were very helpful to assist me so I think if you do have a leak, they will fix it. In addition, the new prefilter works way faster than the old model and the water tastes just as great.

Want Santevia Water Filtration System Discount?

I''m sure there are less frustrating ways to get fresh tasting water. You can''t fill the top container full if there''s not enough room in the bottom container or it leaks everywhere. I bought it for my massage therapy clinic and there was no mention on the website that it takes FOUR HOURS to filter the water, so I was forever filling it up and if I filled the top container too full yet another leak. It might be fine for a family of 2-4 if you don''t want to drink very much water in a day. All the replacement parts are expensive and when you get the unit home and set it up you won''t believe how cheaply made it is.
