Saturday lensbury spa night at midnight, lensbury spa while I was in a party very funny, my "dear" close below calls me to complain of a loss of water from his roof. Do I have and then I return home reluctantly and precipitously. I can now understand where originates the loss of water and then I close the main tap. I remain without water. Little serious for that night when I was drinking whiskey rather. The next morning my Sunday plans are disrupted by the fact that I have to dedicate myself to the investigation of the loss and reinvent plumber. I remove all the kitchen and found the dead bodies of insects, fragments lensbury spa of glass, pots reported missing, countless amount of plastic bags and even a carboy of oil. I find that is the flexible tap to lose. Not too bad in the end, I think. They are easy to change and do not cost much. Just a nuisance. I try to remove the hose, but strangely I can not. But I do not want to squeeze too meninges in a beautiful sunny Sunday. The next day, Monday, with my cock brought to champion flexible, I go to a great home improvement store and as a clerk apparently very prepared and understanding tells me something absurd and terrible, the faucet pours several hours after being dismantled as for miracle, lensbury spa so much water that I could never imagine was contained in a tap. As if she was crying for me. While a stream of tears dripping on the floor of the supermarket, lensbury spa I listen appalled lensbury spa that this faucet has one of the best brands hoses welded and therefore not removable. They are forced to buy a whole new faucet !! So instead of changing just a small metal tube that weighs 200g and costs 5 , I have to throw a very good tap that weighs 3.5 kg of precious metal and that it costs 200 ! This phenomenon is called planned obsolescence! Surely I decide lensbury spa not to buy back something of the same make as good, but that practice this policy of the only piece not repairable. It is as if you were selling a bike where you can not change tires. Just holes, lensbury spa you have to throw the whole bike !! Purchase an article then poor, probably programmed to break after two years (and certainly on a Saturday night while at a party across town), but a product of average quality with 5 years warranty. But I can not resign myself to this nonsense. Calculating what I did "produce" in terms of waste: 3.5 kg of good metal that does not know where to give it to be reused or recycled at best; hours and hours to find and repair the leak in an inaccessible point under the sink, hours of work for the repair and finally the purchase of 1 kg of other metal in the form of tap. And I have also lost the super occasions at the party on Saturday night ... But I can not give in to this phenomenon that seems inescapable modernity. I write this small article, do research on the internet on Grohe faucets, accuse unveiled the brand of faucets and anyway I will try to fix this faucet, now that I've still water in the kitchen and I have to drink a lot by the way ... I will not wait that steps water under the bridge. And even it gets up to under my bed.
Another paradox: on the web I find out that according to some Grohe faucets are guaranteed for life !! Or on their site I find the slogan: quality of life. Or they talk of sustainability: http://www.grohe.com/it/16351/scegliere-grohe/sostenibilita/ But that means anything if you can not replace a piece of almost ordinary wear? I stink of greenwashing. That's lensbury spa why I make documentaries on waste and not the plumber. Although I should say "I try to do," given that step most of my daily life to fight against the planned obsolescence, mismanagement, human stupidity, waste, really!
