What’s wrong with this “Best Seller Water Level Controller Unit.”

Yesterday, while writing about water level controllers, I found an Amazon best-seller product. Which is a water level controller…

It’s not the product that I recommend in my blog post. It’s something else. Out of curiosity, I opened the product and checked what was special about this product.

The only thing I noticed is that it’s a little bit cheaper than the product I’m recommending and has fewer features.

Solar water heating vs solar panels – My thoughts on it

  • nearby metro stop
  • near the bus stop

Overhead water tank filter system – do you need them?

If you have some experience with tap blocking, you know why you need an overhead water tank filter system.

We already had some experience maintaining taps, which was an issue in our first building.

While building the second building, we thought of doing some solutions to fix tap blocking by using an overhead water tank filter.

We also bought filters from Amazon… and implemented them.

After using it for almost 1 year, here’s what I have to say.

Thought of buying a network box?

Yesterday, my brother worked on some changes in the network box.

As it’s Sunday, we will always work on house-related stuff or improve the existing setup.

The current network setup has caused some issues over the past few months… so my brother decided to fix that issue by trying a workaround.

Somehow, we were able to fix that issue.
