There are a few books that have helped me as a business owner that I would recommend for everyone, including future business owners. The first one is How to Lead When You’re Not in Charge. Especially for young people with a lot of ambition, I think it can be very frustrating early on in our […]
If you’re planning to go on a long vacation, you’ll probably want to make sure your home is protected from any kind of damage. The worst-case scenario would be a major incident that happened while you were gone and completely unaware. There could even be a storm that blows debris onto your home. Here’s what […]
I’ve been a master plumber ever since I was 19 years old. One of the stipulations for obtaining a master plumber’s license is that you have to wait until after you’re 18. Because I grew up in the plumbing trade and had my experience and schooling done well before then, I sat for the journeyman […]
In the last post we talked about a day in the life of a water treatment installer. This time let’s take a look at water technicians. The big difference between a technician and an installer is that the installer will just install or replace equipment that needs to be upgraded, whereas the technician is going […]

Some particles can’t be seen unless there are a lot of them—take coffee, for instance. What makes coffee brownish or blackish in color? […]
I think most people who hear the word osmosis think of plants absorbing water. But we’re talking about reverse osmosis today, which is generally referred to in RO drinking water or RO treatment. Reverse osmosis treatment is a way to purify food-grade water for cooking and drinking. It’s generally done at the point of use […]
Tankless water heaters are often considered as a potential option for homeowners. First, I want to talk about some of the disadvantages: Con #1: Upfront Cost A tankless water heater will simply cost more than a tank water heater. That upfront cost can be a significant challenge to overcome. Con #2: Installation in All-Electric Homes […]
People don’t tend to look at their water heaters very often. Sometimes a water heater might be stuck in a storage room with boxes all around them, in a closet that never gets opened, or maybe in a rarely-visited attic. I would advise people to look over their water heater to make sure there aren’t […]
