    what type of electric pump will we need?

    Typically, we have around 500 gallons to pump out, from 10 ft low. Submersible pump may be better for this job (self priming is critical).

    what type of electric pump will we need?

    Garden hose flow 10 to 15 GPM. That is 900 GPH motor. Are we looking at around 1HP motor? Should we search for " self priming transfer pump" to cover most options?

    what type of electric pump will we need?

    20 GPM is 600 GPH pump. Where can we get this 1/6 HP pump? Does it has garden hose connector? Is it Self-Priming? We can raise the pump using wheelbarrow & crate for around 4 ft. to the bottom of this 10' wall. Prefer not to submerge any electric cable into water over the wall. Thanks.

    exhaust fan vertical wall mount

    thank for the speed control box option. sure wish 30 years ago they just put in a quieter fan (say 1 sones) and done with. Now, unless I tear up the wall and rewire the bathroom light and fan, there isn't much I can do except replace the fan motor, which I did with similar noise. The NuTone...

    exhaust fan vertical wall mount

    well, purchased this QKN60 from Amazon for $49. Arrived and installed. MAJOR disappointment. The NuTone Broan spec says noise at 2.5 sones. The Broan box label says 3 sones. Now, it is running just as noisy (may be a tiny bit less, but just as loud). Anyone out there know how to reduce the...

    exhaust fan vertical wall mount

    thank you, nealtw for your long comments. To tame my household nagging, my main objective is quiet down the bath room exhaust fan. from what I found so far, NuTone bath exhaust fan noise sones rating mostly has to do with how cheap or expensive the units are. The duct & housing are practically...

    exhaust fan vertical wall mount

    its just comes to me. why can't I just replace the fan motor? Where can I get a AC fan motor, but must be quiet? I can mount the motor on the previous bracket.
