    Ads are getting out of hand!

    I mostly use my iPad for this site and lately the ads are just getting out of hand. Today, it is nearly impossible to use this forum. Im sure it's all generated by google since google supports Apple Safari. I even have pop up blocker enabled. I see the need for ads to support this forum if it...

    Fluidmaster Flush Valve fill extremely slow (built in flow restrictor).

    Just like to pass on some information. Today at my son's house I replaced the diaphragm on a Fluidmaster 400A flush valve. It was taking about 5 minutes to fill the tank for water was barely flowing. The diaphragm was not the issue. I then tried a new flush valve as I only changed the top half...

    How to filter and direct e-mails to another folder other than INBOX with GMAIL.

    It took me a search on GMAIL help forum to get part of the answer. It's all hidden in the search bar and it took a few times to get it right. I attached pictures to step through through the process. It is just amazing that GMAIL just doesn't add a tab to reroute email. 1) To create a new...

    Pump Cavitation on any pump.

    I tripped across this website from a weather site ad with an excellent explanation on pump cavitation. Where I worked there was a 3HP irrigation pump that always had this issue. The solution was to restrict the 2" out flow pipe with a ball valve partially closed. You will hear it on pool pumps...

    After every hurricane people die of Carbon Monoxide.

    This paragraph is from the Wall Street Journal. I've posted a few times here when members ask about generator use and I alway mention CO poisoning. All the warnings are in the user manual but most don't read it since they think they are smarter but definitely dead. You run the generator At...

    What is so funny about engineers

    This is an article written by an engineer I used to work with. I don't know what publication this is but Dick has to be now at least 85 years old. This was from his Facebook page and it is a picture, not text. The "Engineering Hell" & Talking Frog are great. My wife worked as a CLA in law...

    Why is it everytime I watch TV, the toilet backs up?

    This picture was taken and posted on Facebook this week by dear friends of ours in Wellington, Fl. Lately they were having drain issues and they called the village.
