Not sure if all do this, but when ichanged, we had extremely high pressure. Im guessing it was acting likethere wasnt a filter in at all. Caused water to keep flowing a bit(without pressing). After that strangeness, took about 6 pitchers to get airbubbles out of filter, etc. Kenmore and Whirlpool are the samer thing more or less. Works fine now its been in use.Definately cheaper than getting the kenmore one<span class="reviewtitle">Not the Same as the #4396710<img alt="3" class="custReviewStars" height="11" name="pngImage" src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/associates/network/star30_tpng.png" width="56" /></span>If you go to PUR's website, you'll find that this filter handlesonly 4 problem areas: (chlorine, sediment, lead, o-dichlorobenzene). The more expensive #4396710 Kitchenaid/Whirlpool deals with 11problem areas (the side of the box lists all these in detail:(chlorine, particulates, lead, mercury, benzene, o-dichlorobenzene,toxaphene, asbestos, cysts, turbidity, atrazine). The strange thing is that the PUR website only seems to show thecheaper filter and its attendant 4 areas of filtering. It may just bemy ineptness, but I couldn't find the other better filter on theirwebsite. My wife, wanting the best water, always opts for the more expensivefilter. It's around $60 in local area markets. I just ordered one fromAmazon a couple of weeks ago for $35 delivered; other internet dealerscarry it for around the same price. <span class="reviewtitle">Great Filter for my Fridge<img alt="5" class="custReviewStars" height="11" name="pngImage" src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/associates/network/star50_tpng.png" width="56" /></span>I normally have a tough time finding a filter to fit my Kenmorefridge. Sears is great, but there are none close by to me now. Thisfilter fits perfectly (even though it says Whirlpool) and works great.Ice and water taste so much better than the water straight out of thetap.Only wish is that Amazon sold them in a 2 pack (since they need changing every 6 months) or subscription.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3169174552479008574-2542016660532291671?l=calipso-toolsandhardware.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Calipsohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06271007991585794381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3169174552479008574.post-68078403465596270712009-07-17T00:20:00.001-07:002009-07-17T00:20:52.249-07:00<table cellspacing="0" id="detailheader"><tbody><tr><td id="detailImage"><div class="relative"> <a href="http://astore.amazon.com/shariartic-hardwaretools-20/images/B000071NUS" id="imageViewerLink" target="ImageView"><img alt="Contech Electronics CRO101 Scarecrow Motion-Activated Sprinkler" id="detailProductImage" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31NC1X108QL._SL210_.jpg" /></a> </div></td><td> <div id="titleAndByLine"> <h2>Contech Electronics CRO101 Scarecrow Motion-Activated Sprinkler<br /><span class="by">From Contech</span> </h2></div><table id="prices"><tbody><tr id="listprice"> <td class="pricelabel"><span>List Price: </span></td><td><span class="amount" id="detailListPrice">$59.99</span></td> </tr><tr id="ourprice"> <td class="pricelabel"><span>Price: </span></td><td><span class="amount" id="detailOfferPrice">$58.49</span><span class="supersaver"> &amp;

But there arelots of reasons to avoid chemical deterrents, traps, and hazardouselectric fences. Whether you're a dedicated organic vegetablegardener or a parent looking out for the health of children and petsthat play in your yard, you'll appreciate the simple, innovative, andeffective water-based concept behind the Scarecrow Motion-ActivatedSprinkler. It's also a great choice for neighborhoods where fences areprohibited and for people who consider wire fences and other visualbarriers unappealing.When the ScareCrow detects an animal itinstantly releases a short but startling burst of water. The suddenspray of water and the movement and noise of the sprinkler scaresanimals away. Animals associate this negative experience with the areaand avoid your yard in the future.<b>Versatile and Broad-Reaching for Maximum Effectiveness</b>The Scarecrow is versatile enough to keep deer, rabbits, and otherforagers from snacking on plants and bulbs, to prevent dogs fromdigging up newly seeded lawns, to keep the cat from using your gardenas a litter box, and to scare predators like herons and raccoons awayfrom your fish pond.The ScareCrow's motion detector is powerfulenough to guard an area up to 1000 square feet of coverage with asingle sprinkler. For added coverage, Scarecrow sprinklers can belinked in series to guard larger spaces.<b>Efficient Design and Easy to Set Up</b>Setting the Scarecrow up is fast and easy, and doesn't require anyspecial tools. Simply install a standard 9-volt battery, connect thesprinkler to your hose, push the 17-inch stake into ground to securethe unit, and set the adjustable sprinkler arc to cover the area youwant protected.<b>What's in the Box</b>Scarecrow Motion-Activated Sprinkler <br clear="all" /> <table align="center" cellpadding="10" style="width: 250px;"> <tbody><tr><td> <img border="0" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/th/content_26/Q1_2009/CONTECH-B000071NUS-1-sm.jpg" /> </td> <td> <img border="0" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/th/content_26/Q1_2009/CONTECH-B000071NUS-6-sm.jpg" /> </td> <td> <img border="0" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/th/content_26/Q1_2009/CONTECH-B000071NUS-4-sm.jpg" /> </td></tr><tr><td colspan="3"> <center><span class="caption"><b>Keep cats from using your garden as a litter box or prevent raccoons and herons from snacking in your fish pond.</b></span></center> </td></tr></tbody></table><br clear="all" /></div><div id="customerReviews"><hr /><h2>Customer Reviews</h2><span class="reviewtitle">It Works<img alt="4" class="custReviewStars" height="11" name="pngImage" src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/associates/network/star40_tpng.png" width="56" /></span>A couple thoughts on this very useful product which I feel slightly guilty about downgrading to four stars:First, the thing works perfectly, at least for me. Before theScarecrow, my neighbor's (big) dog left a (big) present on my lawn,every night. Since the Scarecow, never, not once.Well, okay, once, but that leads to comment two:The trouble is that the Scarecrow cannot distinguish between me,enjoying my garden on a fine Summer's day, and the dog, doing his thingin the middle of the night. This means that I need to be very carefulto set up access to the Scarecrow from behind, so I can turn it off andnot get soaked every time I walk across the lawn. Once, I forgot toturn it back on, and, sure enough, that night the dog had done itsthing.Of course this is both a critique and a compliment: the Scarecrowreally works. It's just not entirely convenient. Still, I wouldn't bewithout it and Amazon has it for a great price and free shipping. Can'tbeat that.<span class="reviewtitle">A good, if expensive solution<img alt="4" class="custReviewStars" height="11" name="pngImage" src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/associates/network/star40_tpng.png" width="56" /></span>Before I bought my house I thought cats went in a litterbox. Wellsome do, but my yard is apparently more appealing to Leo, my neighbor'scat, who is old and incontinent. If you are reading this you know that none of the sprays,repellants, etc do anything at all and should be removed from themarket. But dog-gonnit, the Scarecrow works. There are a few minor things you should know, however. First, ifyou care about the Scarecrow leaking, be sure to assemble the unit withTeflon tape. Second, the Scarecrow is entirely plastic, right down tothe spike that you drive into the ground. Not a big deal perhaps, butif your ground is hard you won't be hammering the Scarecrow into thedirt. Finally, if your yard is good sized you'll probably need two socrap avoidance has its price. --And don't forget to run your hose in such a way that you can turnthe water off before you approach the Scarecrow, because it will sprayanything in its path; birds, the mailman, anything. This raises someinteresting possibilities if you are plagued by door to door salesmen.<span class="reviewtitle">A Great Product That Really Works!<img alt="5" class="custReviewStars" height="11" name="pngImage" src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/associates/network/star50_tpng.png" width="56" /></span>My husband and I were very disappointed to see that neighborhoodrabbits had eaten our bean and pea plants to the stem after only twodays of being in the ground. We wanted to keep the rabbits out of thegarden area without chemicals, unsightly chicken wire, or traps. Wepurchased the scarecrow and absolutely love it! After replanting, ourbean and pea plants are healthy and growing. The scarecrow seems to bedoing its job of letting the rabbits know they are not welcome in thegarden area. I have told friends and family about our happy results. Iwould recommend this item to anyone looking for a solution to unwantedintruders.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3169174552479008574-6807840346559627071?l=calipso-toolsandhardware.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Calipsohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06271007991585794381noreply@blogger.com
