In LA, CA. I need a WBIC that is (SWAT)-tested or EPA WaterSense certified for local rebates. Is this coming soon? Thanks :o)

As of March 4th they still don't have certification and cannot provide an ETA.

This is not EPA certified. Check it yourself at: http://www.epa.gov/watersense/product_search.html?Category=5I'm going to purchase the Rachio IRO because of this; even though it has to connect to the cloud and does not have a display. Rainbird has been saying it is getting certified for years with nothing to show for it. There must be a serious flaw in the design.

This was answered on September 7: "We are working to get the the RainMachine approved for both. No ETA yet. We will let you know. Thank you.Sep 7, 2013 by Dragos A."

Ugh! I didn't even notice that. This is what I found: "Proposition 65 requires businesses to notify Californians about significant amounts of chemicals in the products they purchase, in their homes or workplaces, or that are released into the environment. By providing this information, Proposition 65 enables Californians to make informed decisions about protecting themselves from exposure to these chemicals. Proposition 65 also prohibits California businesses from knowingly discharging significant amounts of listed chemicals into sources of drinking water." http://oehha.ca.gov/prop65/background/p65plain.html I don't have to worry about it as the hose snapped off the base about a month ago. I'd take a pass on this one, if I were you. It's all plastic.

It is DOT approved, as far as I know. I live in Ky so we don't have the smog laws that other states have. Super chips says..."...we make clean power..." . You might check on their Web site to be sure.

You can only go by what the manufacturer says and that is that all parts that come in contact with water are BPA free. The customer that claims the California prop issue needs to do some more research about what that means. There isn't a single water distribution system on the market that isn't flagged by that proposition so every drop of water you use has already passed through piping prop 65 deems questionable.

I have not checked to see if anything has changed, but as of January 1, 2010, changes to California and Vermont laws prohibit selling any pipe, fitting, or fixture that is intended to dispense or convey drinking water and that has a weighted average lead content of more than 0.25% based on a wetted surface area calculation. Apparently this is why Shark Bite fittings were not approved in California and Vermont. However, I now see that lead-free brass push fittings are available (by Shark Bite & others, and there are also the plastic equivalents) that can be shipped (and therefore used?) in California & Vermont. Here's an example sold on Amazon: http://tinyurl.com/n5hny5m There are also the plastic push-fittings, as previously mentioned, that would comply with the lead limits: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005XTZYMW/ref=biss_dp_t_asn (Accepts nylon and polyurethane tube fittings only). Having said all this, I would definitely consult the actual building code/s in your specific county/city/town to be absolutely sure.

Wish I could help. Just looked through paperwork and there is nothing anywhere? I have used echo and lesco sprayers in the past and this one is very similar. Best I can do for you.

It's the CD-WBC40 model. If you zoom under the water level you can see the sticker.

Pure artisan water from the mountains of........kidding. All it say is "US COAST Guard Approved" and an expiration of 2/2018. I think it's meant for life rafts, but I liked the size for a "bug-out" bag.

It's been 4 months and my water filter still seems to be working great (2 person household.) Would be great if someone could post a link to a consumer reports type article about this subject. Of course the mnfctr is going to recommend faster changes than are necessary to get you to buy more. I just set up 3 month regular shipment from Amazon, to be safe.

I, too, was curious if the ones being sold at the local stores were the "N3" model -- even though the boxes give the part number as "HEM-780". However, the back of the box shows that they have "TruRead Mode". I decided to purchase the one at Walmart (7-27-2008). The back of the control unit says it's an HEM-780N3. So far the unit is working well, and the readings seem to jibe with an older HealthCheck blood pressure monitor.

Randy, I got the JVC watershield and they work beautifully, never a burn failure and nice glossy finish with beautiful colors with my Epson inks. If you'll look at that illustrations closely, you'll notice that a picture of CD R blanks. I'm sure you'll get the date thing you previously ordered.

I've worn out the warranty on Waterwise 8800. The unit has been good to me. It's about 7 years old. I take care of it as far as dust accumulation.

good evening. if you ask that question then you have to read the first line in Home Depot description and the reason is the water!!! it have NOTHING to do with the products, in fact they not selling to few county's in NYS because the water have lime/stone in it and the valves/trim and all get damaged. to help with this issue you need a whole house filter system thanks Avi Depot.

I can't help you there, but you may find out on their website. I do know that their sprinkler is very durable and reliable and ours is running as I write. I believe I have tried them all and they were all found wanting except for Dramm.

Hi -- I don;t know why they removed that notice from the bag but every plumber I have asked tells me to never flush litter down the pipes -- we have septic & it may be safe for the septic but the litter gets clogged up in the household pipes & creates trouble before it gets out TO the septic tank/sewer line. Maybe people told the WBCL that they had had trouble even tho the litter bag said it was safe to flush so they decided to not use that anymore?

Good afternoon from Australia.I am very happy with my Orbit Watermaster. Mine is located under cover therefore rain is not an issue but I would strongly recommend a weather proofing box if you intend to locate it outdoors. As far as the wireless feature is concerned, I frequently operate mine with 4 brick walls between the remote and the main unit and have never experienced any problems. I would say that with a plastic box there would be no problem but with a metal box there could be.Good luck.
