Safe & Clean Water

Having clean water to drink is the most important thing to have. With this pitcher that filters your water from Clearly Filtered you can be positive that you will have the cleanest and freshest water. This pitcher is very easy to use and it is gravity fed filtered. A replaceable filter that takes out 99.99% of impurities. It even gets out Fluoride. The filter filters up to 200 gallons of water for your family so it is also a great value.

I was sent this pitcher and filter set and immediately started using it. I now only use it. I love it. I really noticed a fresher taste in my tap water as soon as I poured it in my glass. The chlorine smell was gone. No longer do we think we are at a city pool! Our city water supplier must use massive amounts of chlorine. That is the number one reason I started buying bottled water, the chlorine taste is so bad in our tap water that you would gag while trying to even take a small sip. Plus all of the other nasty things in it , like Fluoride and Mercury. It is just scary. But, now we can drink our tap water and know that it is saving us money and it is so easy to use.

Off-Grid Heat During A Snowstorm

 We had a huge snowstorm and sleet overnight. The local news was warning of power outages. We were fine and have a code red for the roads so couldn't go anywhere even if we wanted to. The one time that the lights flickered I got my Vesta Self-Powered Heater out and got it started. I used 3 of the Sterno fuel cans. It heated right up and the fan started blowing. It heated up my tiny house very well. If the power had gone out I would have had this going already. I really like this Vesta Self-Powered heater it worked very well. Great way to get heat in an emergency. Having a few ways to have heat is the best idea.
