 | Gardena 31825-2 Electronic Water Timer | |
 | "Whole House Humidifier Drain Timer" | 2008-03-19 |
| I have a D____t S____g whole house humidifier that needs the standing water bath drained regularly to reduce mineral buildup and maintain water quality. You can buy a D____t S____gs AutoFlush for $99 or the Gardena 3-cycle electronic water timer for $50. So far it works fine. CAUTION: the D____t S____gs AutoFlush is powered by a 24-volt transformer off your house power, and if the power goes off, the valve won't open - so water won't be pouring through it if the power goes out and you're not home....... The Gardena 3-cycle electronic water timer is powered by a 9-volt battery, and works whether the house power is on or not so it will continue the drain cycle and waste water if the house power goes off. This is not a problem for me because if my house power is off, my well pump doesn't run either. Also Gardena specifically states in their instructions "Warning! -> Only use the Water Timer outdoors. The water timer is not approved for indoor use." Still works fine, so far - Besides I can also use it as garden watering timer when humidifier season is over in the Spring/Summer. | ||
 | Canon PowerShot SD700 IS 6MP Digital Elph Camera with 4x Image Stabilizer Zoom | |
| "Wife Loves IT!" | 2007-12-14 |
| I bought this Canon PowerShot SD700 IS 6MP Digital Elph Camera with 4x Image Stabilized Zoom for my wife's birthday because she doesn't like carrying our digital Nikon D70 SLR (although she likes taking pictures with it).
So far, it's lived up to all the reviews, takes good pictures and she doesn't mind carrying it! The only problems I have with it are: > Using the LCD screen as a viewfinder - the built-in viewfinder does not portray your picture accurately - and I LIKE looking through a lens or viewfinder at what I'm shooting (much easier to compose your picture). > It is so light, it's hard for me to keep it steady enough, although the built-in image stabilizer helps a lot. > Some of the controls are pretty small for my fat fingers. > Shuts down and closes up after a preset amount of time, which makes wandering around taking random shots - like I'm prone to do - more difficult. The "start-up" time is longer than our Nikon. Things I like about it are: > REALLY small and light, easy to slip into a pocket. > Excellent picture review process, much easier than the Nikon. > Shuts down and closes up after a preset amount of time, avoiding running the battery down. > Can be used as a dive camera with the Canon WP-DC5 Waterproof Case for Canon SD700 IS Digital Camera, although my wife isn't too sure about that.......... My wife really likes it, and takes it with her all the time, something she wouldn't do with the Nikon, so it meets my goals! | ||
