Reverse Osmosis for a Better, Healthier You

Posted on by

Reverse osmosis. It’s a funny combination of words. What does it mean? For most of us, the concept of a selectively permeable membrane operating within an aqueous solution just doesn’t come up much amidst of hustle of bustle of shuttling the kids to soccer practice and meeting work deadlines. But for those in the know, a reverse osmosis system is capable of delivering the purest and safest drinking water known to man.

To escape the ills of tap water, many of us have turned to bottled water. But did you know that according to a study done by the National Resources Defense Council, most bottled water contains organics and contaminants similar to what’s found in household tap water. In addition, bottled water creates nearly 40 million empty plastic bottles per day!

The best method of water purification is reverse osmosis, and one of the best choices in the industry is the Water Doctors WSPT4000. Unlike a traditional carbon water filter which simply removes taste and odors, reverse osmosis water is nearly entirely free of organics and contaminants, including sodium, lead, arsenic, chlorides, alkalines, viruses, bacteria, pesticides, radon, and more.

What else makes the Water Doctors system different? Four stage membranous filtration removes over 99% of contaminants compared to the 90% average removed by competitors. In addition, most reverse osmosis units must be cleaned and sanitized by a qualified professional annually. Water Doctors sealed system allows the owner to swap out filters with a simple twist for ease and convenience!

A reverse osmosis system typically uses its own water as backwash for cleaning. The Water Doctors reverse osmosis system uses four times less water than the industry average for high efficiency results! The sizable fifty gallon tank also ensures that pure water is available on demand at all times.

As if that wasn’t enough, the $699 price includes a shiny chrome faucet, and for our Twin Cities metro customers, free standard installation!  Treat yourself to the refreshing qualities and health benefits of reverse osmosis water,and free yourself from the trappings of the plastic bottle.  Stop into one of the seven Warners’ Stellian showrooms and taste the difference of pure water from Water Doctors reverse osmosis!

Swap and Save with Energy Star Refrigerators

No leaving the table until you’ve finished everything on your plate! Or so our mothers used to tell us. These parental edicts, usually in reference to broccoli and other unpleasant sprouts, were designed to teach us important lessons about conservation and not wasting what we have.

Now that you’ve got your new countertops, cabinets, and appliances in, your kitchen remodel is complete. But rather than have Warners’ Stellian haul away your old refrigerator, you have us move it to the basement or garage. And why not? It still works, and provides plenty of capable cooling for soda, beer, popsicles, and all of those other treats that occupy a little too much space in our kitchen refrigerators.

Energy Star Refrigerators

But did you know that today’s Energy Star refrigerators are up to 40% more efficient than models sold in just 2001? The electricity saved by replacing a refrigerator built in 1990 with an Energy Star refrigerator can light the average household for four months! Modern refrigerators have thicker, more effective insulation for retaining temperature, while more energy efficient compressors ensure minimal electric consumption.

What does it all mean? Better energy efficiency also puts money back in your pockets! Based on average national rates, an 18 cubic foot Energy Star refrigerator uses $179 less per year than a comparably sized model built prior to 1980, and $130 less per year than models built prior to 1990. Not only that, better energy efficiency means less pollution and cleaner water.

So rather than move that old, inefficient refrigerator into the basement, consider a new Energy Star refrigerator instead.

Vent-A-Hood Hoods Get the Grease Gone

Posted on by

So you just prepared and served your famous teriyaki salmon to a host of friends and acquaintances. It was the perfect dinner party. The marinade took a whole day to prepare but attained that elusive, perfect taste. Your agonizing moments deciding on which bottle of wine to serve were vindicated by your guests’ compliments on its unique taste and heady aroma. There’s just one problem. The party was three days ago and your kitchen still smells like a fish factory.

Kitchen Ventilation

Ventilation may not have the dazzle and the pizzazz of a new professional range or built-in refrigerator. Without it though, even the most gorgeous of kitchens can be saturated with unwelcome odors and stubborn grease. When it comes to quality of ventilation and pedigree of performance, few manufacturers boast Vent-A-Hood’s esteemed track record.

With origins in Texas dating back to 1937, Vent-A-Hood has risen from the trenches of door-to-door sales to become one of the largest hood manufacturers in the world today. The Vent-A-Hood story begins with its industry exclusive centrifugal blower, which delivers unmatched ventilation performance, cleaning, quiet, and safety.

Most manufacturers employ either a mesh or baffle filter to trap particles. While effective, these filters inhibit airflow, compromising performance, and requiring cleaning and replacement. The Vent-A-Hood blower uses centrifugal force to separate grease from the air and deposit it into a simple to remove housing. This housing can be put in the dishwasher for easy cleaning.

Because air does not met resistance against mesh filtration, it passes unencumbered through the ductwork. When combined with the largest amount of capture area in the industry, Vent-A-Hood ventilation performance is up to 50% more effective than comparable models. Vent-A-Hood’s design also results in quiet operation and insulates your chimney from combustible grease.

Vent-A-Hood boasts one of the largest selections in the industry. Is your hood mounted underneath a cabinet? The PRH9136SS or the SLH6K130SS will fit the bill! What if you were planning a decorative chimney hood? The PDH14136SS Eurostyle chimney hood maximizes both form and function. What about custom wood, tile, or plaster hoods? Vent-A-Hood liners, such as the BH128SLDGS, have been renowned as one of the most versatile and easy to install liners in the industry.

Vent-A-Hood Options

With manufacturing that can be tailored to your needs, Vent-A-Hood is able to design a hood to complement and kitchen décor. Vent-A-Hood hoods are available in stainless steel, brass, copper, or any custom RAL color. Warming lamps, pot rails, and riveted bands are just a sampling of the accents that can be added to any Vent-A-Hood piece. If you’re searching for that finishing touch that combines an unmatched combination of form, finish, and function, look no further than Warners’ Stellian’s collection of Vent-A-Hood range hoods.

Liebherr French Door Refrigeration – Lean, Mean, and Green

Posted on by

Is there anything that doesn’t benefit from German engineering? Its contemporary styling, attention to detail, and strength of construction has long distinguished German manufacturing from its peers. Warners’ Stellian is proud to have an exclusive Midwest partnership with Liebherr appliances, bringing luxury European refrigeration from across the pond to your kitchen.

Liebherr was founded in 1949 by Hans Liebherr and began as a manufacturer of tower cranes and aircraft parts. Still family owned, Liebherr employs over 26,000 people in more than 100 countries! To maintain superior quality, Liebherr’s vertically integrated corporate philosophy keeps construction in-house with minimal outsourcing for maximum customer benefit.

One of the most popular luxury refrigerators at Warners’ Stellian is the true counter depth Liebherr CS-2062. This unit features the ever popular French Door bottom freezer configuration with two pullout freezer drawers. Two drawers maximize accessibility of easily buried freezer foods. The upper refrigerator features full width storage, gallon door shelving, and attractive LED lighting.

The CS-2062 features a two compressor design. Most refrigerators use one compressor, which cools the freezer compartment. The freezer then bleeds air into the refrigerator. Liebherr’s two compressor design allows for cool air to be directly channeled into both compartments without sharing. Keeping dry freezer air out of the refrigerator compartment helps food retain its natural moisture and humidity, allowing it to be kept fresh 2-4 times longer than a conventional refrigerator!

Liebherr refrigeration has an unmatched commitment to green technology and the environment. 100% of Liebherr’s refrigeration line meets Energy Star certification standards. In addition, Liebherr is the first North American refrigerator manufacturer to meet ROHS compliance, eliminating the use of hazardous substances during production. Liebherr was also the first manufacturer to eliminate environment damaging CFC particles from its refrigeration.

The Liebherr CS-2062 is a true counter depth refrigerator at 24” deep (excluding handles) adding space to even the smallest of kitchens. It’s attractive stainless finish and polished handles blend well into any kitchen design.

Chill Out with Perlick Bar Refrigerators

Posted on by

If there’s one thing that the Cheers gang taught us, there’s something comforting about a place where everybody knows your name. There’s nothing that quite replicates lounging with the locals at the neighborhood tavern, bathing in the glow of neon signs and flat screen televisions. In order to recreate these havens of camaraderie, many Americans have undertaken that quintessential home improvement project of converting their basement or spare room into a wet bar.

Perlick Bar Refrigerators

Very little of our products at Warners’ Stellian quite replicate the authenticity of the bar experience like the line of under counter refrigeration from Perlick. Founded in 1917 out of Milwaukee, what started as a brass and battery terminal manufacturer is now in its fourth generation of family ownership. Perlick refrigeration is a staple in hotels, bars, restaurants, stadiums, and now, your own wet bar!

The Perlick story begins with the strength of its exclusive variable speed 995-1985 BTU compressor. With twice as much power as its nearest competitor, Perlick is able to reach temperature quicker than comparable models. Because of its variable speed design, the compressor runs only when necessary, resulting in the quietest, most energy efficient operation in the industry.

Perlick refrigeration features commercial grade stainless steel interiors. In addition to its rugged construction and industrial appearance, stainless steel walls retain temperatures better, ensuring a superior cooling environment. In addition, Perlick units feature full extension vinyl racking. Each shelf is capable of supporting 75 pounds of weight,  and can be fully extended from the refrigerator compartment for maximum accessibility.

The best part is that no matter your wet bar needs, Perlick manufactures a model to fit. Beverage cooling, wine storage, keg tapper, ice maker, and refrigerated drawers are only the beginning of your choices, all of which feature Perlick’s commercial grade construction and design. Many models can be ordered as conjoined 48” or 72” wide units for the complete bar station. If you’re looking to complete your own little place where everybody knows your name, check out the line of Perlick refrigeration at Warners’ Stellian!
