    Not only are you improving your water consumption but saving money by reducing your need for replacing damaged plumbing pieces. The iron and calcium love to attack faucets and such! Our last two homes have had their devoted water filtration areas in our basements. Then we have the final pass through Culligan tanks.
    Until we visit again....drink up!! 😋

    When I had iron water; I just used Culligan. They had a filter cylinder for rent. They came out every month and changed it out. It was like $10 a month. It wasn’t a water softener just filtered the iron out for the whole house (12 rooms / 2 bath.

    When I was growing up, my parents used a Culligan water system in our house because we had such hard water. I think I have almost everything needed for some fire cider. I need to get on that! Dinner looked so yummy!! God bless you all!

    What you call a well, we call a bore in Australia. Mainly only people on acres of land have them. We have one, and all the houses around me are all on them as well. Our water Is fine and drinkable with no filters. Rain water doesn’t need to be filtered to go on the garden

    Hi Jessica, just for your safety you might want to invest in a new cutting board. When the plastic ones start to stain that means the antibacterial coating has worn off. Without that the bacteria is harboring down inside the cutting board and can transfer to your food and make you sick.

    Hi Jessica, Aaron and sweet family! Wow, didn’t realize how much sediment was on the filters. Even if you changed them twice a year, that’s about $50.00 dollars a month not counting electricity for the well pump…but clean water is vital.
    What about the lake water, would it be to expensive to pump it from there or maybe not feasible.
    Fire cider has been around for decades and so many recipes too. I don’t know if my tummy could handle it. At least Aaron has the benefit from it.
    Your pork loin dinner turned out great and I’m sure was delicious.
    We used to kill hogs the day after Thanksgiving or when weather was right for hanging hams and smoking bacon. I always fried up a tenderloin and made homemade biscuits to feed everyone on hog killing day, it was kinda a tradition.
    Hope everyone has a very blessed day!

    • @modernhomesteadalaska
      @modernhomesteadalaska  13 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      I think the filters for all the living things in the lake would be much more difficult but I don’t actually know .

    So that was interesting about watering your garden with well water. I am wondering if that is the problem with our raised beds in our garden. Nothing grows. Regular garden good but not the raised beds. Will look into rain water containment off the roofs of outbuildings. Nice tip. Now those pork loins looked great. I do not cook in my oven because of the mess it makes but good to know how well they come out in a pinch. 😄

    • @modernhomesteadalaska
      @modernhomesteadalaska  13 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yes I learned to change 1/3 of the soil in raised beds with our water ever other year, when that was recommended I said I think I’ll not do that.
