Orbit 27999

I must have used up at least 750 words ranting and raving about Hunter Sprinklers products last month, so why did I choose an Orbit Sprinkler Timer, instead? I can answer that question in one word: Cost. The Orbit 9 Station Timer, Model # 27999 sells at your local Lowes Store for about $69.00. The Hunter 8-Station XC-800 model does have a few more features, bells and whistles over the Orbit 27999, none of which seemed very significant to me. For instance, the Hunter XC-800 will completely backup your entire program into permanent memory and doesn't depend on the lithium battery to hold it. Since I plan on changing my battery once a year, I don't expect that to be an issue and even if it ever becomes one, these digital sprinkler timers are very easy to program and the Orbit Sprinkler Timer is no exception. Before we get to that, what else is missing on the Orbit Sprinkler Timer vs the Hunter? Read the rest of this entry

Getting Familiar with Hunter Sprinklers

XCore Controller

I became familiar with Hunter Sprinklers and Hunter Sprinkler heads when they became easier to find then Rainbird products. Years ago, it was hard to find anything other than Rainbird sprinklers at my local Home Depot stores. I was reluctant to replace my old sprinkler heads with another brand, not because I loved Rainbird, but because I was not familiar with any other brands. Other brands of Lawn Sprinkler Systems. Replacement heads have their own settings and it can be confusing learning a new way of setting them up every time you need to replace heads. I am no longer intimidated by non-Rain Bird brands. IN fact, Hunter Sprinklers replacement heads are easy to use and last just as long if not longer than the other 3 or 4 brands I’ve tried, including Rainbird. Besides my own favorable experience, there is another good reason to trust Hunter Sprinklers. Read the rest of this entry

Got Hose Nozzle?

Copper Hose Nozzle

It’s amazing how something as simple as a hose nozzle can cause years of grief before you finally decide to do something about it. Funny thing about the Hose Nozzle is that we usually need a minimum of two of them. My current back yard hose is the one that has suffered through more lousy hose nozzles than I care to remember. The good Hose Nozzle always ends up in the front yard for washing cars because that is where it seems to be needed the most. The other Hose Nozzles usually end up in the trash after a year or two for the following reasons:

• Hose Nozzle gets more water on you than the plants or car you're watering
• Hose Nozzle fails to deliver a fine enough or wide enough spray over time
• Hose Nozzle is cracked and mechanically broken
• Hose Nozzle is troublesome and awkward to use

Biddeford Blankets and Throws in Review

Do you have Biddeford Blankets or Throws in Your Home?

You've probably heard about Biddeford Blankets, but what you really might need is a good electric throw. Do you have a room in your house that just feels cold all the time? From November to April, my Den feels this way. If you've tried Space Heaters, EdenPure Heaters, and

Velux Blanket vs. Biddeford

Amish Heaters, but you're still wearing a sweater to keep warm, you need to look into a throw blanket. After a lot of tedious work and tending to the logs, the den fireplace gets the room piping hot as it sucks heat from the rest of the rooms of your house. And who feels like starting a fire all the time? With the shorter days of fall and winter there is less natural light to keep these kinds of rooms warm. The answer is heated blankets. Unlike the electric blankets used to heat your bed covers, a Throw Blanket is a heated blanket you can take anywhere. There are three reasons I've hesitated to consider Throw Blankets in the past and now I know them to be old myths:

1. Electric Throw Blankets are uncomfortable due to the stiff, wool fabric
2. Electric Throw Blankets pose a fire and/or safety danger.
3. Electric Throw Blankets use energy and waste money

After doing some research, I have an entirely new appreciation for the comfort, safety and cost efficiency of today's electric blankets, particularly the electric throw blanket.. Read the rest of this entry
