Bath Ball Water Faucet Filter - BB-104 Review

Bath Ball Water Faucet Filter - BB-104
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Our water has some pretty intense chlorine--the filtration plant says it's 1ppm, which I suppose is average for city water supplies but it doesn't make for a pleasant drinking/showering/bathing experience. We've run whole house carbon filters for years but they wear out really quickly and we don't always get around to replacing them on time. I bought the bath ball for an 80 gallon bathtub that's used on a daily basis in the winter--it's sort of a stand-in for a hot tub and our family is super addicted to it! I really needed something to reduce the chlorine for our baths, but there are few options. The only problem with this product, aside from high cost, is that a lot of people complain it doesn't hang from their faucet without major jury-rigging. My faucet actually looks a lot like the one pictured, it slopes downward with a flange or flare at the bottom, so I figured it would work. I was right! I have to slow down the water flow a little when I'm filling the tub so that the water doesn't spill over the sides of the filter, but it's well worth it. It works like a charm to neutralize the chlorine. The manufacturer states that the filter will last for 26,000 gallons, but that depends on how much chlorine is actually in your water. Even if it turns out that I have to replace the filter several times a year, it's worth it to me for better water quality and healthier baths! Another bonus is that every component of the filter is recyclable.

The cartridge is of good quality but sometimes the leak is not due a worn-out cartridge but the seal between the bottom of it and where contact is made with the inside of the fixture.

This little item totally fixed our sink sprayer. It had no power before and I found on teh internet where this sucker was the culprit. A few sites told us we could use a toothbrush to clean the one we had but that turned out not to work for us (but doesn't mean you should not try a thorough cleaning first before making a purchase). We just went ahead and ordered this replacement part and all is well.

This product sucks! It would work great for about 3-4 days and then the light gets blown from the water.... or something, all I know is I bought 3 of them for around the house and all three have blown in just a few days. What a big fat waste of my money!

Bosch AE-9.5 PowerStar 1.5 GPM Point-Of-Use Indoor Tankless Electric Water Heater Review

Bosch AE-9.5 PowerStar 1.5 GPM Point-Of-Use Indoor Tankless Electric Water Heater
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Less than 2 months after installation, this unit will not turn off. It has burst PEX tubing three times due to the overheat condition, and started to smoke and sizzle multiple times.
It will *not* turn off even with both in and out water valves closed, and we have to flip the breakers to render it safe.
That of course means no hot water -- kind of why we bought the unit to start with.
The company is using every excuse in the book to not honor the warranty. They want me to a) hire a technician (at my expense) to troubleshoot the item on site, b) install copper tubing (also at my expense - despite being reminded water hot enough to melt PEX is too hot for skin), c) move the setting to low (meaning lukewarm water), and send them a $100 deposit which upon return of the defective unit, at their discretion, they might refund "if the unit does in fact requires warranty service".
An honorable company would send a new unit and an RMA for the defective one, not seek to place blame (however illogical) on the purchaser. Nor should I be required to do field repairs on the pressure switch (or pay a pro) on a $200 item.
I am being given the run-around, talking to person after person, and the company is using every possible excuse to wiggle out of honoring their warranty.
The unit is unsafe at this point, and represents a fire, flooding, and/or serious scalding risk.
A new unit may or may not have these risks, but I can't be sure BECAUSE THE COMPANY WON'T SEND ME ANOTHER ONE despite the unit being only 2 months old and their "troubleshooting" requires *ME* to spend more on technicians than the original purchase price of the unit.

The ONLY problem is that my shower drain is technically larger than the diameter of the protector. That being said, I decided to place it in the drain anyway. And everyday, all the time, it STILL catches hair in it! So I would say it works fabulously--only wish the diameter were larger.

I have to eat this one because Crogan will not accept a return, which by the way, I could not find anywhere in writing. For that reason alone I would not purchase any product from this supplier. I had very realistic expectations for this little heater. All I wanted was warm water to wash my hands and face in a small sink. Even with the low flow aerator this product was unacceptable and I immediately removed it. Please note that the owner of Crogan has put in a review--which is not true.

HAMMER ARRESTOR BALLCOCK SWIVEL Review

HAMMER ARRESTOR BALLCOCK SWIVEL
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
After reading about water hammer solutions, I chose to try this arrestor because it installed easily and close to the problem valve on my toilet. Seems the valves on many toilets shut off very quickly causing water hammer. It was very easy to install right under the supply to the toilet tank using an adjustable wrench. Just shut off the supply valve undo the line to the tank, screw the arrestor on the tank and hook the supply line back up to the arrestor. Took about 15 minutes including clean up of a bit of water that dripped out. Works like a charm and went from a jarring boom to a "dink". Worked for me as an easy fix and probably worth a try for you too.

This item is exactly as advertised- It is a FAUCET TRIM KIT. I already bought a Price Phister complete shower faucet set and the mixer has been installed. Now (several years later) I am finally finishing the bathroom. The decor has changed to Oiled Bronze and I was faced with buying a complete new faucet set (for $180). Instead, I bought the trim kit and am saving $100. Next time folks read the LARGE print and don't think you can buy a $180 complete faucet for $65. Amazing, 5 of you did exactly the same thing!!

I bought this faucet and got it quickly. One reviewer said it had gold trim but the trim is in fact coppery. It went well with my black appliances and black and brown granite countertop. It was a huge improvement over the brushed nickle faucet I had before. Its a great price too compared to other faucets with this finish.

A nice replacement for the plain, stainless version I had. The only problem I had was a small cosmetic issue, that probably wouldn't bother most people. The "H" and "C" stamped into the metal bezel were kind of poorly done, with an uneven depth. To me, it gave it a bit of a 'cheap' look to it, which was at odds with the rest of the quality. A small thing.

What a great looking faucet. Installed it in our newly remodeled kitchen. It works great. The matching soap dispenser is a plus. The bottle is big enough so you don't have to fill it so often. Amazon had a great price on it. Cheaper than Home Depot. I love this faucet. Also, got the matching one for our 1/2 bath which was also remodeled. I love the Ashfield collection. Great looking faucets for very reasonable prices. Highly recommend.

You will notice this is a quality product right away, it just seems so much more substantial than other sinks. The gloss appears to be extremely shiny, almost like glass. But the price is also higher, so you get what you pay for - and not more. 5 stars if it were cheaper, but at this price it is just what you would expect.
