[00:00:39] Eric Goranson: We try to fill in some information for you to help you out with those day to day things that maybe didn't make it into last week's show, whereas not making it into next weekend's show. We got a lot to talk about today. First off, if you want to find out more about me, or if you want to get ahold of me, head over to around the house online.
[:
[00:01:14] Eric Goranson: First off, water filtration is becoming a bigger deal out there because we are finding more and more things in our water supply in people's homes. It doesn't matter if you're in a well, or if you are out in the country, In a rural water system, or if you're in the middle of an inner city in a city water system, we are running into issues in people's drinking water and the government is getting ready to do a lot more tests and a lot more regulations on this to improve our drinking water, which is a good thing, but that means that they're gonna be testing for more stuff and you should be paying attention to what's going on.
[:
[00:02:11] Eric Goranson: That'll start telling you what's going on over there. And then I recommend everybody go out every few years and test your own water to see what's in it, because it could be really cool coming from the, heading from the water filtration place where they treat the water and they pump it into the system.
[:
[00:02:44] Eric Goranson: That way, you know what you're doing because testing is really the key to figure out what you're drinking and what's going on. And, and as we all know, bottled water is expensive and that plastic and all the stuff we have to recycle out of that is just a pain. So if you can have. [00:03:00] Great drinking water everywhere.
[:
[00:03:29] Eric Goranson: So these are things that happen, and I want to make sure that what's in your water supply is how healthy you are. PFOS, which are those forever chemicals out there, Are coming in strange places. It's coming in from, if you had a wildfire in your area. A years ago, they could have been, uh, there, there has been in the past that you were using PFAS in the fire retardant.
[:
[00:04:08] Eric Goranson: And that can be tough. So today I just wanted to talk about making you aware of what's going on with your water and then some of the solutions you have. So, first off, understand what's going on and see what you're dealing with. And if you're dealing with hard water, which for you typically isn't so bad as far as drinking, but it's what damages your home.
[:
[00:04:52] Eric Goranson: So the company I work with a lot is King water filtration. And I met these guys from my buddy, skip Adele. Uh, [00:05:00] you saw him on catch a contractor. He does a lot of TV stuff with Fox and friends are in the weekday mornings where he does home improvement stuff, but. Right now, those guys have really got some good solutions for you.
[:
[00:05:28] Eric Goranson: So whether or not you want to take out fluoride, whether or not you want to take out. All the different stuff they have, depending on what you need to take out. That's the thing. If you've got turbidity or arsenic or all those different things, you can actually figure out a system that's going to work with what you've got going on.
[:
[00:06:04] Eric Goranson: They've got pretty much a solution for you, which I like. So take a look at that. That's a great way to go. And they are a sponsor here in the show, but this is not a sponsored segment, so they're not paying for this. This is just something that I wanted to talk about because these guys here are easy to work with.
[:
[00:06:37] Eric Goranson: And as since they are a sponsor of the show, but if you want a thousand bucks off, if you are looking at a system out there, just go Eric ERAC dash 23. And that will give you at least a thousand bucks off. Their system over there. So what's off the MSRP. So take a look over there. If you get into their expensive ones, which are their higher end ones.
[:
[00:07:13] Eric Goranson: So that's one thing that can save you a little bit of me, a little bit of money because the thousand bucks guys, that's where it really makes a difference. So take a look at that. That could be really good for your health. Really good for everything for you. And it's a little bit of money for a good system, but you pay for it once and you're never having to go by bottled water again and keep that taking up space in your fridge.
[:
[00:07:49] Eric Goranson: It automatically works in its own self contained units. And I think it's got a 20 year warranty as well. So take a look over there at the website at King water filtration. Those guys are really good. They're a company I [00:08:00] trust. This is not a commercial for these guys. I just think water quality is a big deal that we need to be working with today and talking about, because we're trying to get all these chemicals and stuff out of our water.
[:
[00:08:40] Eric Goranson: So, the recalled engines can overheat, posing fire and burn hazards. So, that's Kawasaki motors, engines used in Bad Boy, Big Dog, Bobcat, Cub Cadet. Cub cadet, hustler, John Deere, Kubota brand lawn and garden equipment. So there's about 68, 500 with 900 in Canada. [00:09:00] And you really pay attention to this one guys.
[:
[00:09:22] Eric Goranson: Directly. So take a look at that one. That's a big one. I just want to make sure that you're doing good with that, because that could be a big deal. No one wants to be out long mowing the lawn with their riding lawnmower, their zero turn mower and have it catch on fire. That's a bad deal or overheat. So there's another one here for you.
[:
[00:10:00] Eric Goranson: So if you want to find out more about these head over to cp. gov forward slash recalls, that's the consumer product safety commission, and they can give you more information right there. And that way you can figure out what needs to be done with that. So be careful lawnmower people and pet people out there.
[:
[00:10:34] Eric Goranson: So I'm moving around a little slower, but we'll be getting healed up. I've got one more MRI to do, and hopefully we'll get an indication of what's going on with my knees. So I've been hobbling around, which has been slowing me down a little bit, but we've got some fun projects coming up for the TV show.
[:
[00:11:10] Eric Goranson: It's from HD pocket doors and pocket doors. If you go down to the home center, buy one of those pocket door kits. They are so janky. They don't work. Well, they're built out of one by twos. It just seems like it doesn't work. This system has soft clothes, like a kitchen drawer, glide, soft clothes, soft open made out of the rails.
[:
[00:11:47] Eric Goranson: If you need a whole house generator, they are giving away. We're partnering this. We're giving away one over there and take a look at the link. It's on the front page of around the house, online. com through July 3rd, 2024. So take a look at [00:12:00] that. All right, everybody. I'm Eric G. Thanks for tuning in around the house.
