Hello everyone!! I think I know what is wrong but want to run it by you guys.
I have an American PROLine water heater 80 gallon circa late 2002 begin use 2003. Electric with two elements.
Last couple days my wife was complaining of overly hot water. I use a thermostat to take temp and...
By now he has either....
Question 1> Should I install attic fan to solve the water condensation issues?
Sucked most of the conditioned air from his living space into the attic
Question 2> I started to look for holes/air pathway in the attic and use expansion foam/caulk/aluminum tape to seal...
Hey everyone.
Current vapor barrier in crawl is about 12 years old. It seems thin, maybe 3 mils or 6 mils at best. At any rate, its shredding in several areas exposing the damp dirt underneath. I live in a heavy clay/chirt area. Soil is hard packed. I want to completely cover dirt floor...
Not me, the insurance company is questioning it.
I know nothing about it, is one better than the other? Is one really a caddy and the other really a chevie?
Its been 2 and a half weeks. Still wet in there. All around seem to be worried about mold and mildew. I cut two of the flex duct runs to drain the water. The insulation is still soaked.
Not to mention its mid August. :confused:
THIS^^^^^^
I would lay a Jackson on the table and say your bathroom exhaust fans vent to the interior of the attic. Cold roof = condensation which freezes inside the attic. An attic fan will do only one thing...
Suck the desirable air inside your house through ever nook and cranny and...
Hey all, been a while.
I have a question about my particular situation.
The set up is this...
Four years ago I had a TVA audit to replace my compressor/airhandler/trunk/ducts. I ended up with a 4 ton two speed compressor connected to a variable speed air handler along with 40 feet of...
Soften the whole house plumbing except outdoor spigots.
Modern to date equipment uses very little salt compared to equipment from even 15 years ago. Iron filter is needed and also they make specific softener salt called Iron Out that helps too. Your plumbing will last forever including your...
UPDATE~ Fixed it myself!
Purchased a 3/4 water pressure reducing valve at Home Boy $32. WATTS brand
Managed to wrangle the old one off, was a bit worried as one brass nut was tight and I thought I might twist the copper pipe.
Put the new one on and tightened everything up checking for...
Unlocked that nut in the picture and turned the screw a bit counterclockwise. Didnt notice any difference. Ended up backing it out a full 2 turns and if it reduced the pressure by 3 pounds if at all. Might be at 59 now instead of 62. Pipes up stairs still hammer, pipes downstairs do not.
I...
Just a note of caution.
Did this once to a 125 foot well with a submersible pump that had gone out. When we replaced the pump, we chased it with a couple gallons of bleach. Ran the water until we smelled the bleach in each faucet then let it sit as described above.
Thought we had all the...
Okay back to the OP.
My pressure reads about 65 psi, maybe a couple psi more.
I went upstairs to check the water hammer and it is still there, but not quite as loud right now.
I assume municipal water can fluctuate pressure, right?
I looked at a couple of pressure valves at the hardware...
