We've been using these docking stations for a while now. The VGA output allows the older monitors to continue to be used, while the HDMI outputs give the flexibility of 3 monitors if the user wants. Several USB jacks make these the perfect docking stations.

The Culligan® WH-HD200-C Heavy-Duty Sediment Filter allows you to preserve and protect your household plumbing and water-using appliances.

Originally bought the 3/4" input/output port version, had to return for this 1" input/output port version so our water pressure wouldn't be affected.
We live in the country and have a well. We use this whole house filter and a soft water conditioner and that's all we need. Perfect water.
The built-in bypass valve makes filter changes a breeze.

Had to buy a new 12' HDMI cable, the old cable was destroyed by employees. The old cable was the very expensive brand at BestBuy. VERY cheaply made connectors on the expensive brand.
This Insignia, BestBuy store branded,cable was the perfect replacement. The connectors are molded and should survive years of employee abuse.

Will this work with a Dell Latitude 7420 2-in-1 laptop?

This will work with ANY laptop from any manufacturer, including Macs, as long as the laptop has a USB C port. USB C is how the docking station connects to the laptop.

Best Buy does not install. You'll need to hire a plumber, though installation is easy, and should take less than an hour.

Your plumber can easily adapt your water line to fit the 1" inlet on this Culligan system.

Do you have to have a Culligan System to use this filter system? Can it just be installed on it's own?

This filter housing can be installed on it's own. In my case, we have a well. I have this as a whole house filter, followed by a soft water system. The soft water system is manufactured by a totally different company.
On a side note, I've tried filters in this housing by several different manufacturers. In the end, you'll have to decide which filter you prefer.

Hi Buddy,

Bestbuy doesn't install these, but any licensed plumber can.

This would work well with a 3/4" main line. Your plumber will adapt to it. You just don't want your filter to be smaller than your line. The same size, or bigger, is good.

Hi Bob,

I buy the Pentair/Omnifilter T08 at Menards, for about $20. It's rated for 40,000 gallons, or about 9 months. I'm still on my first filter, but will definitely buy more.

 Escort - Max 360 Radar Detector for Most Vehicles - Black
Escort - Max 360 Radar Detector for Most Vehicles - Black
This Escort Max 360 0100024-2 radar detector features USB connectivity, a smartphone app and connection to the DEFENDER database to provide you with up-to-date, real-time alerts. GPS AutoLearn technology isolates real signals from false alarms.
 

What are the differences between the 360c and the 360. Thanks.

I had to research this myself, before buying the Max360. The biggest difference is that the "c" stands for connected, meaning updating it is super easy via Bluetooth. The Max360, which I bought, has to be connected via USB cable to update. Not a big issue for me, since an update doesn't take long, and is only needed every year or two, in my opinion.

EXCELLENT radar/laser detector! I had the 9500IX for the past 5 years, or so, and while that is a good detector, the Max360 is even better. I've been side by side comparing them the past month and the Max360 definitely triggers before the 9500 does. Both are good, the Max is just a little better.
