Water filtration
Cost 33$
replacement filters
15-25$
Per year 45-85
2 cases of Kroger water x2 month
3-4$ per case
156$ per year
Filtration system needs replacing every 3-6 months. I based it off; Top Maintenance and Quality Drinking water.
This also reduces trash and plastic waste
Cons
May require buying a set of stainless steel cups for sorting and avoiding taste/texture mixing due to my sensory sensitivities
Now secondly
RGB Bulbs
28$ 4 pack
I need 4 bulbs
Power Consumption at 10% Brightness:
- Typical power usage at 10% brightness: Approximately 1 watt per bulb (for simplicity).
2. For one bulb running 24/7 at 1 watt:
- Daily consumption: 1 watt × 24 hours = 24 watt-hours or 0.024 kWh.
- Daily cost: 0.024 kWh × $0.12 = $0.0029 (about 0.3 cents).
- Annual cost: $0.0029 × 365 = $1.06.
3. For one bulb running 3 hours per day at 1 watt:
- Daily consumption: 1 watt × 3 hours = 3 watt-hours or 0.003 kWh.
- Daily cost: 0.003 kWh × $0.12 = $0.00036 (about 0.04 cents).
- Annual cost: $0.00036 × 365 = $0.13.
4. For four bulbs at 10% brightness:
- All bulbs running 24/7: $1.06 per bulb × 4 bulbs = $4.24 annually.
- All bulbs running 3 hours per day: $0.13 per bulb × 4 bulbs = $0.52 annually.
If all four bulbs are dimmed to 10% and used as described, the total annual cost would be:
- Four bulbs running 24/7: $4.24
- Four bulbs running 3 hours daily: $0.52
- Total annual cost: $4.76
Edit: I’m getting all of this myself
What’s with all the water filtering? Can’t you just drink normal tapwater?
It has very unnatural taste to it and most people I’ve met prefer not to and including it healthily filters the water adding that as a benefit.
