The bathroom in my apartment has separate hot and cold faucets which make it very difficult to shave and wash your hands since you only get either piping hot or ice cold water. Is there any way to connect these without replacing the sink? I don’t want to invest too much money into a place I am renting.
I live in the middle of the Texas panhandle. My house is plumbed with well water. I am choosing to add either a water FILTER or water SOFTENER to my home water system.
What "system" is a water FILTER?
Does it filter out all the sediment, sand, minerals, etc to use for my indoor water?
My house WAS plumbed with a Kenmore water SOFTENER. Before it "gave up", it did soften all this sand, sediment and minerals that I am picking up from the Canadian river basin.
I am trying to clean my indoor water so that it will reduce the hard water wear on my indoor plumbing (faucets, valves, and piping.)
Thanks.
I fully know and understand how the Ammonia / Water absorption process works.
I even understand how the Ammonia / Calcium Chloride absorption process works.
But in their case, Ammonia is the refrigerant. It has a boiling point of -33 Degrees Celsius. It’s understandable that when it evaporates, it takes away heat.
But in the water / lithium-bromide process, water is the refrigerant. I understand that the pressure is lowered to allow the water to evaporate, but how cold can it get? Will it bring down the temperature of the surrounding area to freezing?
Also, if pressure is brought down, what kind of piping is used? Doesn’t it have to be strong to withstand the pressure being much higher on the outside than the inside?
we have 60m of professionally installed purple sub-surface irirgation piping. we are in Perth and our soil is basically pure sand 15m above the watertable. the piping seemed to become clogged with soil within around 6 months with the result that it no longer works and the pump is just continually cycling the water around the piping loop with hardly any dripping out into the soil.
is this a common experince?
if so it seems that the piping is not really fit for purpose.
our experince would certainly not encourgae anyone to adopt a professional grey water system. very disappinted and want to ask for our money back (,500) or ask the installer to replace the pipe with one that doesn’t clog. the grey water system has a 2 filter system (micro and macro) and we clean these regularly so the problem is not it seems that particles/lint in the grey water are clogging the system
help
After the winter we opened the water valve to our outside water faucets but there was water pressure. Its a new construction house [1yr old]. What do we need to do to get the water pressure back into the outside piping? There was pressure prior to turning the water off for the winter.
Thank you.
