Pro showed up at 8am last friday. She called me and asked what to do. I said let the pro handle it, you'll know it was done right and more importantly, I won't have to get involved. It was taken care of, I got some well deserved sleep and she finally calmed down. Well worth the $625. She said...

I'm not talking about the box. I've seen ground wires sparking when I disconnected them because someone was using ground for a neutral.

Could a neutral be bonded to ground somewhere in the house?

Got a quote for $825 just to snake it out from a plumber. Could be higher depending on what he finds. I contracted another company to come have a look for a $99 diagnostic fee. Probably won't be any cheaper. Looks like I know what I'll be doing tomorrow.

I'm assuming a standard 4" iron pipe. House was built in 1959. No problems as long as I've lived in this city (25yrs) but I've witnessed the flushing of paper towels recently which raises my suspicions. There is a reason public toilets ask you not to flush hand towels. I noticed someone at...

I have a friend who I'm quite sure has a plugged sewer lateral. I have a good idea why, but talking about it leads to the exchange of heated opinions, so lets just say it's not a collapsed pipe or root intrusions. Floor drains back up when the washer drains. Not a lot, about a 5 sq ft circle of...

Drain All https://www.drainallsales.com/ They need to be lower than the tank bottom though, otherwise you'll have a few inches of standing water in the tank before the float rises. You could do the same thing with a used float style steam trap. Ingersoll Rand and Atlas Copco make similar...

We have a bunch of pretty compact Mitusbishi, Mr. Slim units at work that run 24/7. I have never seen a failure in the 13 years I have been there. They have been in service since 2003 or earlier. They air condition rooms with HMI control stations and servers, so they don't get a rest even in...

We are running 300psi through sch40 8" pipes at work. The burst pressure is over 4000psi. Check out the 200psi copper pressure test caps. They are almost paper thin.

Black iron lasts a long time with dry air. 250psi is nothing for it.

FWIW, this is a Fu Sheng pump. H in HTA signfies it is a 2 stage pump. 65 refers to the 65mm bore. Sounds like a belt slapping something to me.

The tag looks like it might be a 210 but I'd need a better picture of the pump from a couple of angles.

Snap On doesn't rebadge anything special, compressor wise. Definitely not worth paying extra.
