Measuring Sprinkler Water Use
zhlédnutí 185Před 5 měsíci
We use the home's water meter to determine the total amount of water used by the sprinkler system. We cycled through each zone of the sprinkler system, measured the time, and used meter readings at the beginning and end to determine the amount of water used. From that we can calculate monthly water usage. This can be compared to the monthly water bill to see the impact on the monthly water bill...

    So question, I am purchasing a brand new house that is coming with standard Delta faucet bathroom shower equipment. We want to upgrade the trim for the shower. Online it says the Delta foundations has the R1000-UNBX shower valve body... the trim we want that is from delta and matte black and is compatible with the same R1000_UNBX. Will I still need the change the valve or can I just easily swap out the trim hardware since the valve body is the same

      I have not experienced that on generators. Have seen it on small 2 cycle equipment like blowers and weedeaters. On the small equipment a lot time the fuel line is not attached, but instead it is a single line piece goes through a hole into the tank. You have to fish out the hose when in the tank and attached a filter to it.

    I loaded the string as shown in the video and turn the ring so the string is wrapping around the spool. As soon as I start trimming the a bunch of the string comes out. What am I doing wrong that the string isn't staying put on the spool??

    • @FixItDepot
      @FixItDepot Před 28 dny

      Sorry but it is hard know. Here is a couple things to check. Is the spool stuck in the upper position as when it is being tapped on the ground to release string. This is the most probable cause. Grass gets wrapped around the top of the spool and when you tap it to let spring out it gets stuck in the upper position and keeps feeding. Only put about 20 feet of string on. Are you putting more? Did anyone take the internals apart and maybe it was put together incorrectly?

    YES the dewalt 20V adapter will drain and even kill the lithium battery so you MUST change your habits and remove the lithium battery EVERY TIME you finish using the tool. This is not easy to remember as normally you don't need to remove the battery from other tools so you have to change your workflow or you end up damaging the battery by forgetting to remove it. Terrible design by Dewalt!!! the adapter should not drain the lithium battery but it definitely does.

    i have about 19 years experience in hollow metal doors and frames and i have to say you did a great job on the repair metal clad doors are not fun to work on and it is unbelievable that they don't use thicker woods and also a treated wood for exterior . most people do not think to use treated and i think it is a must. the bond was the only thing that shocked me but if you think about it is a form of glue because it sticks to everything but it will de-laminate if you do not add 1/8 " to 1/4" holes for it to grab to but i do not have any experience with the green stuff. 1 thing i think would be great is if they made caps for the tops like the door bottom weather striping that are u shaped for if you need to cut theme down but you did a great job on them

    • @FixItDepot

      I agree with the need to use better materials. I have done six doors now. They all are holding up well. The “green” stuff is a fiberglass based Bondo that gets super hard. Almost too hard and takes longer to sand. Picking an adhesive was the biggest challenge. Some of the ones I looked into specifically said to not use on metal doors that are exposed to sunlight. I guess either heat or expansion would mess with the glue sticking. What adhesive have you found to work the best? Adding the holes is a good idea. Thanks for the comments.

    Thanks for your review. I purchased it for my textured pool deck with its tile floor grout advertising. I have been pressure washing, which makes a big mess. It cleans flat surfaces well. The scrubbing brushes retract to easily to not allow a deeper scrub. The spring action and plastic gears keep it from digging in. Even adding additional spray cleaner directly to the floor did not help. Pre-scrubbing with the a stick brush did a better job. My need would be a commercial scrubber.

      Thanks for sharing your experiences with it too. I agree with your points. I just did all the bricks in my house last week. Getting the grout clean is a major pain. This time I used a rotary brush I bought on line for deep cleaning the grout and also pre scrubbed with a stick brush. Then multiple passes with the Hoover. Since my floor is brick I used extra water to help rinse. A lot of work, but they shine now. I think all of the non-commercial scrubbers are going to have some issues.
