I have wholehouse unit (Whirlpool). I am amazed at the sediment etc that it traps. I put it in a new house with municipal water about a year ago. I change the filter every 6 months, with no effects on water pressure etc. It does get visibly dirty, so I am happy I installed it. Very easy to install as well....(Answered by Leonidas)

You could also try E-Bay, list in your local paper, put flyers up at the colleges and local businesses, or contact a company that helps you sell your home. I personally recommend the last one. They can list your home in the MLS and online. A lot of people do their house hunting online, especially with gas prices being so high....(Answered by Amanda)

My guess is that your answer rests in the fine print of any agreement you sign with the utility company. They should be able to explain their policy for dealing with an account in the type of situation you anticipate. Call their customer service department for clarification. Good luck with your search for information....(Answered by exbuilder)

Do you have a composting toilet attached to your home? I was reading about a cohousing community in which all? the units had composting toilets - however, when I've used them on hikes they've been kind of smelly (though much less than a traditional outhouse!) and not something I would like attached to my house. I also have friends who are reusing their waste by composting it with layers of sawdust. Have you done this? ... (Asked by jane7)

A correctly installed composting toilet will have no odor, and the compost medium is usually peat moss. After each use the medium is stirred mechanically, mixing the waste, accelerating the compost process. The internal temp is also critical, and must be held at 75 degrees F or higher. In the long run they would save billions of gallons of domestic water usage. Their waste by product is a rich odorless fertilizer with the appearance of common soil. An idea who's time has come. I have one going in here this summer....(Answered by Gunny T)

When will golf courses be made illegal throughout the world?

How do you not get ripped off by extended warranties? My wife had a cancer operation that removed half her insides and we decided to purchase a compact washer and dryer at Home Depot to have upstairs. The sales person told us that an extended warranty would make sure that we would have no problems until the year 2010 and if a tech had to come out more than 3 times they would replace it. Well the dryer broke at christmas and 4 tech visits later It's still not fixed and needs to be junked. After 2 days of phone calls and my wife in tears Home Depot offered us ... (Asked by poky)

My philosophy regarding extended warranties? I am betting them the product will break, and they're betting me it won't. I went to a local tv/appliance store years ago to buy a portable b&w tv. It was $44. The salesman asked me if I was interested in the extended warranty. He said 1 year was $24, 2 years was $48, and 3 years was $72!. I said no. He said "But what if it breaks?" I told him I'd just buy another one. He said "But what if that one breaks?" I said "You'll never see me again because you're ...(Answered by John M)
