Video

Great video to educate homeowners who may not know how to locate the septic tank especially if you just purchased the home and the previous owners never told you where it is.

Nice. Informative video. Contractor should not be leaving tools on unprotected kitchen counter tops! Would not recommend!

I looked up this topic and found this video because the house I just moved into has this same heating system and I ain’t never seen nor heard of nothin’ like it. Thanks for explaining it

I plan on replacing the jet tub at my grandparents when we buy the house but i may not be able to do it right away and hope i can clean it. it freaks me out all the crap that could be in the pipes etc. yikes.

Do not use vinegar and bleach together at the same time!!! Use them separately. Or else you will make mustard gas.

You look like Frank from American Pickers

What happens if valves are left open?

I just purchased a 1991 home and it looks like the jets have never been cleaned. I'm not ready to purchase a mew one so I will certainly give this a try. Thank you

*PromoSM*

What if you can’t close the jets?

What would happen if the pilot light blows out ? Would it continue to blow gas in the house

They put some 2x6 between the joist by sill plate for a fire stoop in my house… how would i insulate this type of rim joist set up?

As a professional CZcams watcher. I found this video awful...

Great content very informative! I’m new to home inspections and it helps greatly! Thanks for sharing!!!

My mom and dad both went to Montana School of mines in Libby Montana this summer i visited the town the copper mine that is filled with water is very neat

What are the issues with it?

Stuck on first step

So many videos about how to test for mold... ZERO on how to interpret the lab results.

i think inspectors like to find stuff wrong that is not to justify their jobs

Had a lot of inspection videos on my feed lately, thanks for sharing your knowledge!

What you should be calling out is that f'd up chimney. I hate when I see this type of nonsense.

I've had one running in my garage every winter for 20 yrs without any failures.

I have one of these but when on 3 placards if a breeze hits it, it goes crazy. It makes an awful sound and the placards have flames on and around them. I've stopped using and was wondering what would cause this

I've got mine turned to medium. Left side is glowing orange but the middle one is still a blue flame all over it. Is that ok?

Hooking up to the natural gas system was costing me $60 for the initial visit and $20 a month in fixed costs before I burned one Therm of gas. The gas companies in Georgia got tired of having people jump in and out of the system over the Summer, so, they make people sign a contract for a whole year. When I had the natural gas on, I was spending $100 - $120 before I bought the first bit of fuel to burn. (When they changed to annual contracts, it became $240 base and eliminated a lot of their service calls for hookups.) My heat pump works great from March to December. It's just those two months in the middle of Winter when I need a little more heat on the really cold nights. I have been getting by with just the heat pump, but after the Texas disaster a few years ago, I decided to have a bullet proof system for super cold weather. A Mr. Heater 30,000 BTU propane heater now sits in my living room and points at the walls where all the plumbing happens to be. When the temps really plumet, I light up Mr. Heater and burn $4 worth of propane a day to keep the house a toasty 70 F. When a tree branch takes out the power for the whole neighborhood, I still have heat. *Remember, gas furnaces require electricity for their fans and igniters. Having natural gas is not enough. People froze to death in Texas because their electrical system cut out and the blowers and igniters on their furnaces stopped working. Imagine waking up at 4 AM with the house down into the low 40s and no lights! Propane costs more, but when you factor in the annual gas contract, it's cheaper in the long run to do Propane in my situation. When I move somewhere else, I will take the Propane system with me. (My math teacher is probably looking down from heaven and laughing because I actually used algebra to figure out that Propane was a better choice. I swore I would never need algebra.) The Mr. Heater 30,000 BTU propane heater with the optional fan cost less than a single year's base connection fee for the natural gas company. After two years, I was way ahead on the total cost. It's nice to not have to worry about freezing in some SHTF scenario. I cycle two 40# propane tanks so I always have a full one. I also welded up a holder that mounts in my trailer hitch receiver for easy external transport of the tanks. (For some reason, people never tailgate me when I have a large propane tank on the back of my vehicle.) 🤔

Very good sir good information

What would cause the entire unit to shut down after being on for a period of time? I am not able to light the pilot when this happens but if I wait several hours I can light it and it seems okay until I turn the heater on for a period of time then it shuts down again?

Guy below this comment just wants to sell you $15,000 central heating units. The ventless infrared heaters put these guys out of business. All heaters no matter what kind even your cook stove produces condensation in the house and it all depends on where you live if you’re in southern Arizona Tucson, where it’s two or 3% humidity there’s no water in the air to condensate if you live in Rhode Island where it’s very high humidity any kind of heater anything that produces heat in your home will produce condensation.

Bought a house with a 25 year old jetted tub in the bathroom. I’m terrified to put water in it. Haven’t tried it once in the year we’ve lived here. I don’t think it saw a lot of use and I’m afraid it may leak if we give it a go (it’s on the 2nd floor). Based on other things I’m not sure the previous owners would have mentioned if it wasn’t in great shape. I’ve been saying, “Let’s just wait until we have some extra money…we can have it inspected and professionally cleaned…have someone make sure the motor is in working order before we just fill it and turn it on and see what sort of damage it does to the space below.” That said…I have no idea given all of the components…what type of professional would do this job. I also have no idea where the motor is because it’s a strange set up. It’s centered against the far wall in the room over the garage of our house. There’s no pre cut opening under the front of the tub. A home inspector told us that it was really easy to work on because the motor is accessible easily from the attic eves of the house…there are unfinished storage areas in either side that would lead to the space outside of the bathroom in the attic eves where the motor supposedly is for easy access. Great! However, we had plumbers out and they could not find the motor on either side and looked bewildered about how it had been described to us by the inspector. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Is there someone that just maintains tubs (motor, plumbing, and all?) that we could have some take a look? Just need to know where to start. Appreciate any tips. Thank you.

We installed a DynaGlo wall propane heater a month ago. It's hooked up to a 250gal propane tank and was installed by the gas company. Our problem is the heater gives off a clorine odor. It's so strong that my husband is getting headaches and we had to shut it off. Any ideas on what is causing this odor? It's not a rotten egg smell, so we dont think it's the gas. Just can't tolerate the chemical smell.

Thank u

Is that legal in California

my home has the smallest unit -- 6000 BTU 1.8 Kw. usage is 2 USD per 15 hours on. remember to crack open a window for safety....

I had that in a house (im in Iowa)several years ago. It was SO dang comfortable. the house next door to mine was the same model but heated with baseboard heaters while mine had the ceiling cables. My power bill was lower and I kept my place warmer. it's a great way to heat the People and not just the air.

These units are not only for backup heat. My main source of heat is a ventless fireplace log set. The burners are underneath and between the 'logs'. When I moved to a rural and higher in elevation area it was quite obvious that electric heat was an absolute NO WAY!. Propane heaters, which cycle according to the temperature you set, are the absolute BEST form of heat. The only time I use the 'backup' electric baseboard heat is when I close the door to go to bed at night. The propane is turned down about 6-8 degrees and turned up in the morning or kept lower if I am going to work. However, the best space propane space heater is a 'blue flame' type. The 'red' 'plate' type are a waste of gas. I've been heating my house like this for over 11 years. The only time the CO detector has gone off is when it needed the battery replaced.

We've done a bunch of cleaning cycles...there seems to be an inexhaustible supply of gunk. Any thoughts or recommendations?

I've done this about 4 times now, back to back. I've used bleach, white vinegar, dish soap and dishwasher detergent. It still shoots out black trash when I turn the jets on.

It's my belief that the outside sample is not a good way of measuring mold. For example a person can barbecue and show no response to particals. Mow the lawn and have a reaction.

Would be nice if you show where the jet induction valves are.

Geez, it’s not like you’re drinking the water pretend you’re in a creek

Coming from a mold situation, you shouldn't use bleach on mold. Vinegar works better

In my house the only device that requires a three prong outlet, is the Instant Pot. She only uses it twice a year.

In 30 YEARS WITH A Whirlpool 8 Jet tub I'VE NEVER SEEN OR HEARD OF BLACK JUNK Coming OUT OF JETS OR ANYTHING!

Which soaps are low sudsing. I am guessing that Dawn Dishwashing soap is not one of them.

A better way to clean is to remove the jetted tub entirely and replace with a regular bath or shower.

How do you fix an on/off button that is stuck pushed in?

TR/AFCI/GFCI protected , lol , not only ugly and annoying, switched receptacles should be labeled as such, not upside bassackwards! Installed sideways is a better look than cyclops, some modern chest type freezers have a cord attached with the grounds up and cord down, please stop this madness, grounds up leave a big chance for grandma to hit the hot and neutral with his/ her index finger! Try it.

You scammer
