    You can cut the top portion off of a 2 liter bottle, flip the top portion around and put it back into the main body of the bottle, put food in and you have a trap! Used one to catch an extremely fast and crafty damsel once!

    A 19.00 float valve is better than ALWAYS forgetting to turn your RO off and going thru filters twice as fast as you should be.
