Water Hammer Mitigation
Comments (45)Hi I got all the parts, need to build the assembly before installing the bypass on the water main entering the house. Couple more questions: - because of space constraints I need to remove the ball valve on the house side, so my only option is to shut off the water before the water meter near the sidewalk. Any risk doing so? It looks like a 1/4 turn ball valve. - is this the correct procedure for shutting off water? 1) turn water heater thermostat to off 2) close ball valve on cold water supply to water heater 3) close ball valve before meter near sidewalk 4) open lowest faucet and drain 5) perform repairs 6) turn water back on at sidewalk 7) reopen ball valve on water heater 8) set thermostat on heater to where it was Cheers, CG...See Moreradiation concerns and gardens
Comments (5)Don't think I will be following the recommendations of a California retired corrections officer, that got her business degree on line and now professes to have all this various, so called scientific knowledge. Sequoia54, like you, I have a serious problem with anyone that says "say no to vaccines" and that alone leaves the rest of the info posted to be extremely suspect. nhbabs, I like to see scientific documentation and testing as well and not just so called claims to various things with no links to verify the info other the the original person making the claims. I need documentation, scientific testing and proof first. "considering what the world is facing with the Japan disaster". If you are referring to the risks of nuclear power, then you are talking about reality. If you are talking about serious problems in obtaining various products that are manufactured in Japan, then you are talking about reality. If you are talking about radiation from the Japanese nuclear power plants traveling around the world and creating havoc around the world, well, Then you are talking absurdity that is more than just ridiculous. It's outright outlandish and not true. As has been already stated "caveat lector." otherwise known as "reader beware. Fran...See MoreDWs: GE Profile vs. KA
Comments (2)I would look them up online and read over their Owners Manual and see what each model does on certain cycles and how much heat they add to the water. I know some of the newer models wash at lower temps now, but also the newer detergent is made to work at lower temps. Also would check out the noise level rating....See MoreWhat Would You Have Done?
Comments (63)Geez folks, have some compassion! She was probably multi-tasking. Thawing the turkey and keeping cool at the same time. "My first thought was a diabetic that found himself suddenly low on sugar with no juice in his pocket." Wow. That seems a really stretching rationalization! Why not go for the candy? Every diabetic I know carries little candies with them, not a bag of grapes. I can't buy into that at all. It really troubles me, and aids the thieves when people look for reasons to excuse crime. Turn your backs on it until it happens to you then wonder why it happened. In this case, I'd have taken out my new cell phone that has a camera in it and point it at him, start recording if I figured out how it works. With my old phone I'd probably hold it up and point it like I was recording. I'm fairly confident he has a cell in his pocket and would think he's being not just noticed but recorded. I guess with the background I have in crime prevention, law enforcement, investigations, business and the like, and being the victim of crimes myself, I may have a tainted look on things (which I prefer to think of as a "different perspective"), but I have trouble trying to make excuses for everything. I have big problems with the "I don't want to get involved" and "I'm afraid of them" type of people. Find out what happened, don't cover for them. If they have an illness, and I don't think this guy did, they're still guilty of a crime. (Former pro wrestler) Verne Gagne killed a man. He had Alzheimer's but the victim was no less dead. Not right IMO to cover eyes and ears and ignore it. The legal system should decide whether their "impairment" should mitigate the charge as they did in the Gagne case. Assuming that stores have a massive army of security people is just not the way it is in most stores. Few are like casinos with people who do nothing but watch cameras (monitors to be more precise) for theft. Few have armed security guards. The store probably wouldn't do much without a complaint from a customer. Thinking that you could do your shopping and tell a cashier 1/2 hour later isn't very pragmatic either. How long will the guy be eating? LOL It's not as big a deal in the bigger stores as in the smaller ones but theft has a bigger impact in the small stores. Convenience stores for instance. When an inventory comes up short it generally comes out of bonus money, that's money that is paid to managers and employees. So thinking the big corporate monster is always absorbing the costs for us isn't correct. A friend of mine worked at a big DIY store which shall remain nameless but starts with an "L". He said their policy was clear: Never confront a thief. They didn't care if it was the "weekend warriors" (ones who, for instance, buy nail guns, do their roofs over the weekend and return the used tool afterward claiming it was never used) or someone walking out the door with something. Their rationalization? They didn't want to lose a customer! My friend went "WHAT?????!!!!" They said yes, they'll still likely come and buy other stuff. I refuse to shop at that place since....See Morecolleenoz
