Oxygenating Watering Can

Oxygenating-Watering-Can.jpg Plants need three main things to grow; sun, water, and oxygen. This Oxygenating Water can takes care of the last two in one step.

The oxygenated tap water helps with faster and healthier plant growth without the use of chemicals. All you do is fill the can with water and plug it into a wall outlet for four minutes. The pitcher has titanium and steel plates that trigger an electrolytic process that dissolves water molecules into their components of oxygen and hydrogen which brings water to 200% its typical oxygen saturation.

“Seasoned gardeners know that plants often look their healthiest shortly after a storm, thanks to the high level of oxygen in rainwater. Oxygenated water encourages flowers to bloom faster, roots to grow stronger, and more fruit to set. This pitcher mimics that effect, as proven in controlled testing by horticulturists at the University of Minnesota. Bell pepper yields were 58% higher with increased levels of dissolved oxygen in the water, while geranium flowers weighed 76% more.”

Telemergency PRO

Telemergency-PRO.jpg Telemergency PRO connects to your telephone and automatically contacts 911 by pressing either a button on the unit, or a button on a pendant that can be worn around your neck.

The Telemergency Pro sends out a pre-recorded message to either 911 or one of five pre-saved phone numbers letting them know of your emergency. If no one answers at any of the numbers it will keep trying for 15 minutes.

Check price and availability at FirstStreet.

“The Telemergency Pro sends out the emergency alert message again if a phone has been put down without hanging up. For instance, if your message goes out, and is picked up by a child who doesn’t understand the message, more than likely, the child will put down the phone to find an adult. This feature “listens in,” and if it senses no response, will automatically send the same emergency message again. At that point, if no one has responded, it will disconnect and start dialing the other numbers. It can also operate on PBX type telephone systems that require dialing a 1, 8 or 9 before dialing the number.”

Its nonskid surface secures your iPodĀ®, PDA, or cell phone, and the charging adapters are routed through two conduits that conceal cords and prevent tangles.
