    Hello dear that water tester is a great piece of kit very handy . 😊 The weather has been horrendous. But you could be in Florida and really have something to worry about . Try dry food with the dod or you can mix it with water . You're looking very beautiful as always I bet that water in the river was refreshing lol.. good luck 🍀🍀🍀 stay safe and strong ❤😊🫂🙏

    I hope that you read this!!! There is a protective cover on the end of your water tester that slides off. You are not testing anything with the cover on. Also, you need to calibrate the tester with distilled water, not filtered water. You can get distilled water in most stores for a little over a dollar a gallon. We have one of these testers and it works great. I am also someone who avoids directions, so I get to laugh at myself from time to time as well.

      The cover is below the depth lines and slides down and away from the device. It fits kind of tight so that air doesn't contaminate the probes, and also keeps them from being damaged. Trust me, There is a cover...I own one.

      @@TheDennisharr yes I can see you are correct regarding the probe cover. I did think this prior to testing but the instructions do not mention removing it! However, purified water does not need to be distilled, I have triple checked that. I’m off to retest the water sources that I tested before to check I’m not gonna die 😂😂😂

    Fairly new to your channel & am really enjoying your videos Cat. You should do one on cow herding, you obviously have a talent for it 😝. SHORT STORY ALERT…This one brought back some fun memories…I’ve fallen head first in that puddle you shouted pudding away from, it’s off the countess wear bridge right? Even more embarrassingly it was on a first date during lockdown. I chivalrously offered to carry her through it and lost my footing, it was much deeper than I expected, I literally submerged in it whilst somehow saving her from getting seriously wet. God we laughed at how drenched I was. Keep doing you

    If you look just below the minimum water line on the tester you will notice a seam going all the way around it. Pull down... it will resist coming off at first, but becomes easier with use.

    Try purepetfood, for your dog.
    Its natural ingredients dehydrated and you add warm water to it.
    They supply a sample pack for transitioning your dog to.
    And deliver.
    Mine was on a raw diet for 11 years which became difficult without a fridge to keep it fresh.

    If your ultimate goal is complete off grid living , then bite the bullet and pay out for a Berkey water filter . I’d suggest a “ Travel Berkey “ ( they come in different sizes ) . A lot of money to outlay , but no power needed and they last a lifetime . Filters AND purifies , and no need to test the water it cleans as it’s safe . I’d literally put any water source in this video through mine and drink it without testing , including the one that coos pishing in . Ps , after reading the comments , thanks for the laugh about leaving the cover on the tester . Exactly the sort of thing I’d do 😂

    • @its_van_life
      @its_van_life  3 месяца назад

    Hi. I’d recommend Burns dog food. I think it’s made in Dorset or Somerset relatively small company. I’m a dog trainer, house sitter and always recommend this food it seems very gentle on the stomach. Also be aware of any treats you’re giving. I’d recommend giving their dog food as treats. Good luck.
