Re: Under-sink water filtration cartridge systems

I figure you've seen the warnings: Precautions: WARNING: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate...

Re: Bug screens

I've had bad luck using the white nylon wire ties outdoors. The age pretty quickly, get brittle and break. I'd recommend some stainless steel wire for a permanent fix or at least use the black wire ties which don't become brittle so fast. The mud dubbers around my area cause all sorts of summer prob...
