Dangerous:Disposing of household chemicals in trash

发表于 2011 年 11 月 03 日 由 admin

Disposing of household chemicals in your trash is dangerous. When mixed, household chemicals such as bleach and ammonia cause poisonous gases and fumes or cause fires. Dispose with normal curbside garbage. Residents are asked to remove the lid and allow the paint to dry up before placing on the curb.Hazardous household waste should not be disposed of in the same way as regular waste. For example, a gasoline drum buried in the ground can affect rivers and find its way into drinking water.

In some countries and states hazardous waste was collected at home or at receiving stations (bring/drop off-sites) in one country this applied to 415 municipalities in 2001. The corresponding figure for 1997 was 136. Hazardous products have four classifications: flammable , poisonous , corrosive and reactive (explosive). Federal law requires that products with hazardous ingredients be labeled.Household hazardous wastes may also, subject to special arrangements in some states be collected by special waste collection vehicles, which tour in the metropolitan area.

So, take advice from your local waste officer, but if you have very small amounts of hazardous material in your household waste you probably can discard it in your household rubbish for collection. Any larger amount as we have said already must be discussed with your waste expert locally. All local laws must be complied with.

Household Saving and Manage Water Use Wisely

发表于 2011 年 11 月 01 日 由 admin

Water consumption at home is another major contributor to household expenses. Not only does the use of water impact the wallet, it also impacts water conservation efforts aiming to save this dwindling resource.

Turn off faucets after use.
Regularly check the water lines for leaks or damages and repair as soon as possible.
Don’t let water flow continuously during hand-washing, shaving, teeth-brushing, or washing dishes.
Manually wash dishes instead of using the dishwasher.
Use low-flowing shower heads, taps or toilets.

All Pumps Must Be Connected To A GFI Outlet For Safety

发表于 2011 年 10 月 25 日 由 admin

Outdoor pumps should always use a grounded, 3-wire plug. Indoor fountains sometimes have 2-wire and sometimes 3-wire plugs. For people wanting a really thin cord, 2-wire pumps provide the more aesthetic experience. Some retail stores require 3-wire pumps even for indoor fountains (though, ironically, they might not for aquarium pumps), and these thicker cords can be hidden by plants, stones, or other decorations. All pumps must be connected to a GFI outlet for safety.

95% of the time the customer has let the pumps get hot by running them dry. Most fountain pumps are water-cooled and once the fountain is dry they burn up. Usually there is nothing you can do about this other than to buy a new pump. Also, however, pumps are supposed to be cleaned every so often by opening up the impeller case on the fountain pump. Follow the manufacturer’s directions.

Fountain Pump:When Is an External Pump Appropriate

发表于 2011 年 10 月 24 日 由 admin

“In-line” pumps provide the “most bang for the buck” in two ways. For one, the purchase price is quite reasonable for the high volume of water being pumped. But even more importantly, these pumps dramatically outperform typical submersible pumps, cutting electrical costs two to three times. Since electrical costs for a large pond can easily run from thirty to one hundred dollars a month, choosing the most energy-efficient pump is tremendously important.

However, if you need a lot of “head,” that is, if you are pumping to a height of more than say, seven or eight feet, or if you must pull the water (not “push”, for in-line pumps push water fine but don’t pull well) a long distance from the pond to a skimmer located far away, then these pumps probably won’t work for you.

Maintenance Air Conditioning:user’s instructive manual/ guidebook

发表于 2011 年 10 月 18 日 由 admin

In case you are planning to repair the AC on your own the first thing that you should do is to read the booklet/guide that came along with it in order to get to know that machine completely. Since every machine differs due to brands and models therefore the instruction guide should be read and understood completely before planning to repair it.All the possible safety measures should be taken in order to save you from being hurt for example: one must be very careful and should make sure that the wire of the AC has been unplugged before starting to repair it as he/she might get an electric shock.

After removing the frame/cover of the air conditioner you must make sure that you clean it properly before placing it back to its place. A dirty cover can be very harmful as when you will switch on the machine it will produce all that dirt out in the air which can cause severe diseases. Therefore cleaning the cover with a brush or a cloth is very important. You can also wash the cover if necessary. Once you are done with the cover you should also clean the fan as it will also be full of dirt and germs.

If you are repairing your own AC as you think that there are just minor problems to be handled then you must make sure of one thing that if you are unable to do it and at any point you think that this is getting out of your hands then you should leave it immediately and call an expert as obviously you wouldn’t want your machine to get damaged even further.

There are many brands of air conditioners out there in the market

发表于 2011 年 10 月 17 日 由 admin

There are many brands of air conditioners out there in the market. One of them, Daikin, is a Japan-based multinational corporation that is originally a chemical firm but has long since expanded to electronics specialization and industrial technologies development. Daikin has eight industrial and management divisions: Air Conditioning, Chemicals, Semiconductors, Transportation & Refrigeration Systems, Electronics, Hydraulic Fluids, Defense and After Sales. The company is one of leaders in the air conditioning industry, beginning with the fully-assembled Mifujirator in 1951. Together with industrial giantsFujitsu, Mitsubishi and others, Daikin is an active competitor in the market. It produces air conditioners for all purposes: home, commercial and industrial uses. The following is an overview of one of Daikin air conditioners, the FTXG series.

The Daikin FTXG series is wall-mounted type of air con for residential use. When it comes to visuals, its front panel look is very simple and stylish, and can fit in with any type of room without breaking the interior design. It is very ‘easy-on-the-eye’. Its Mat Crystal Panel is a clear plastic with a frosted surface, giving it an elegant appearance. The Daikin FTXG series is also noticeably thin, about 15 cm for the indoor unit, which adds more to the visual appeal.

Through the use of titanium apatite photo-catalytic air purifying filter, the Daikin FTXG eliminates bad odor, bacteria,virus and allergens in the air. It supplies clean, cool air. This air con also has a draft-prevention operation, deliveringhorizontally-positioned cool air during cooling; and vertically-positioned hot air during heating. Also called the comfortable mode, it delivers warmth directly to the feet. The Daikin FTXG, unlike most air cons, is also designed for a peaceful and quiet operation. The outdoor unit operates at 43 dB, almost like the sound of a quiet library, while the indoor unit operates at 27 dB, comparable to midnight in the suburbs.

Help You Size Your Air Conditioner BTU

发表于 2011 年 10 月 11 日 由 admin

Cooling power is not the only concern when choosing an air conditioner unit. You must also consider its Energy Efficiency Ratio or EER. A higher EER means that an appliance is capable of transforming electricity to utility without wasting much power. Nowadays, the standard minimum EER is 10. Hence, if you have old units with a rating of 8, it is time to replace them. Just make sure that your new unit has an Energy Star label to guarantee genuine EER rating.

Another important consideration is the BTU (British Thermal Unit) Rating of the unit. In layman’s terms, this is the ability of the conditioner to cool a place at a given span of time. Air conditioner units use mechanical parts like the compressor and fan. It uses internal pressure to move the cooling fluids in its tubes suck the warm air in and force cool air out. These mechanical processes require electricity. If the unit has a high BTU rating, the components require more electricity. Hence, it is important to just choose the right amount of BTU for your house.Higher BTU results in faster cooling, but the rate of air suction cannot remove water vapor from the room. Besides power wastage, this will result in an uncomfortable and clammy atmosphere inside the house. There is a prescribed BTU, depending on the room size. There are free charts in the web that will help you size your air conditioner BTU.

Air Conditioner:Help To Select The right one for Needs

发表于 2011 年 10 月 10 日 由 admin

A portable air conditioner works in much the same way as a conventional unit. However of course with these units they have been placed on casters so that they can be wheeled from one area to another. Most of the units will come with a hose attached to the rear which you need to place in a door or a window so that the hot air the unit extracts from the room can be expelled outside.Just as with a conventional air conditioning unit the portable ones will also remove any moisture (water) from the air. But instead of this actually being expelled you will find that the unit will store it in order to help cool the unit down further. However these machines are also fitted with a bucket or tray into which water is deposited and unfortunately you will need to remove this and then empty the contents in it on a periodic basis.

So what is needed in order for you to run portable air conditioners? In order to run such equipment they need three things. The first is that there is sufficient space in which the unit can stand. Secondly you will need an electrical outlet from which the unit can gain power to operate. Finally an opening is required such as a door or window which the hot air can then be expelled from the room.

A Water Well Pump is Useful in Many Situations

发表于 2011 年 10 月 07 日 由 admin

PVC Pumps are known to outlast ten million pumping cycles. The fact is that the product does not wear out after ten million cycles, but rather it has been determined that the same amount of water can be delivered after the ten millionth pump as on the first one — all this with hardly any detectable wear when deconstructed and examined. Based on durability, a water well pump constructed out of PVC piping cannot be beat.

Speed is another important characteristic of choosing a high quality water well pump. 20 to 35 liters per minute can be expected to be produced with selected pumps. The range given here is dependent upon the depth of the pump and the speed the pumper operates at. You can expect water to be delivered to the vessel on both the up and down strokes so no effort on your part is wasted. Pumps are designed to utilize the legs in addition to the arms so tiring does not occur as quickly. A pump is functional enough that even children can pump it.

Understandably, the most beneficial aspect of a PVC water well pump is the inexpensive and lightweight nature of it, yet the fact that is has many durable qualities, as well. With no parts to rust, corrode or wear out, this kind of pump can last for a lifetime of daily use or make a great storage item in case of an emergency. Installation of a 52-foot pump is easily completed by two people working together in only a quarter of an hour. There is no additional plumbing or piping required to begin the use of the water well pump immediately.

Your Chosen:Sump Pumps are Important

发表于 2011 年 10 月 06 日 由 admin

To dig a hole for a sump pump pit isn’t that difficult, but does require some smart planning and good preparation to make sure it is done right. The location you choose for a sump pump pit is important. One of the things to keep in mind is the sump pump pit should be in an area that is common for flooding. The lowest part of the basement is where the sump pump pit should be installed. The water that is to be bailed from the pump needs to travel outdoors at least ten feet in distance. So it is very important to put the sump pump pit near a wall when being installed in a basement. Keep the pump at a distance from at least 8 inches from the basement structural wall and away from footings. Make sure that the drainage is flowing away from the septic system or the sewer. By allowing this to happen will be against the law. Make plans for the location before doing anything else to avoid difficulty later.

The size of the hole for the pump should be at least 2 inches in diameter and approximately 2 feet deep. This will allow ample space for pipes and water storage. For the size of pump you need isn’t that important as how much horsepower you will need for the size of the house. How much water that will accumulate estimates the amount of horsepower needed.The consistency of the soil needs to be taken in for account of where would be the best place to put the sump pump pit. Many places in the

United States, the soil has traces of clay. Clay makes it difficult for drainage of water from the sump pump. Clay also has a tendency to expand which is not ideal for the drainage of the pump. Try to locate a place where the soil has a sandy type of consistency for the drainage to be easier. Placing the pump in a place for easier access is also important. So if repair needs to be done later, it will be easier to get to the pump for repairs it needs and also for maintenance.
