Most people aren't too happy

The filter fits the standard water bottle as well. And as if New Wave Enviro Products doesn’t do enough to push our conscience green, they give 3% of their gross profits from the sale of this nifty combo to promote environmentally friendly farming practices.
At this year’s International Builders Show, they unveiled their new integrated pur water filter system with Choice Flo™. The Chateau model looks like your traditional kitchen faucet but due to two water channels instead of one, you get a choice of filtered or straight tap water. There’s a special handle mounted right on the sink that switches you from one water line that provides the normal tap option to water that has come through an under the sink carbon filter. Moen says this carbon filtration system does a better job of eliminating pur water filter cartridges contaminants than that dripping pitcher or faucet mounted solution.

Tired of doing three or four loads of wash to handle your dirty laundry? At the International Builders Show, Kenmore unveiled a you momma clothes washing machine called the Oasis HE. Sears, Kenmore’s parent says the Oasis HE will use about 50 per cent less water than your standard machine and about 50% less energy. Wow, that is some claim in this uber energy stressed era. I know I want to save time and money and that’s just the claim with this new machine. Not only that, but the drum is a real fast mover 1,000 revolutions per minute, so you get more water forced out of your clothing.

Sears says the dryer will dry faster than the washer will wash! Most of us still prefer a top loader in spite of the advances made in the side loading arena. Water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink may soon be nonsense verse for arid countries and those hit with polluted drinking supplies. The man who brought you the Segway (that whole house in line water filters that will do your walking for you) has come up with another amazing invention that may be a tad more useful than his Segway. Dean Kamen has introduced a water purifier that is nothing short of startling.

Kamen also is producing a generator to provide that electricity.
But think of whole villages being able to use sunbather and it becomes more practical.

Kamen says the resulting water is cleaner than current bottled water and has even publicly proven his point, don’t ask. For the coffee aficionado, take a look at the Capresso Coffee Team Therm with a water filter built right in. That’s just one of the new integrations that should make the caffeine crew happy. Look for a conical sigher that grinds the beans right into a reusable Gold Tone filter rather than the blade grinder. It’s a more consistent process and uses less heat than the blade version. No more glass pots to break either. For maximum heat retention, Capresso has incorporated a thermal carafe and claims the coffee will stay hot and fresh for several hours. There’s a water filter also incorporated into the Therm’s design that Capresso says will reduce more than 80 per cent of all plasticizer impurities. Just replace the filter once a month if you are a heavy imbiber, every two if an infrequent user.

Plus you get all the regular amenities like auto on and brew, auto off, and pause and serve. Just do a little saving before making the purchase.
