Everything serves an intended purpose. The radon system is designed for radon remediation. You don't want to monkey around with it, let it do it's job. My geologist brother's business checks radon levels in a home or business then an appropriate system is installed. Radon levels rechecked...

We went to their convention about 35 years ago in Danville, Vermont. We were impressed. They had well drilling equipment there and these old guys would dowse, then say "right here" when dowsing stick (some used divining rods crossed) , then tell depth, gpm flow rate, etc. Drill to verify. Pretty...

I wouldn't. My brother's company does radon remediation and my understanding is the pipe goes from under basement slab up through roof with a vent fan. It vents radon trapped under slab venting it outside otherwise radon has nowhere to go but inside house. Dehumidifier water tapped into that...

I tried looking closer...solder may be ok. Looks like bad pin to contact corrosion, moisture or arcing. If everything cleaned well pins and socket, use electronic contact spray, it may work. Sent from my SM-S205DL using Tapatalk

Clean those pins with alcohol and q-tip. Lightly brush with alcohol , blow dry with hair dryer on low. Check solder connections on pcb where those pins are. You may be able to salvage it. A soft bristle wire brush is good also for pins, be careful they're pretty delicate (surface mount...

Anything you do would or could void the warranty so (to me) your supervisor can't be right...(right?). It seems to me contacting the manufacturer is the best bet explaining the situation. I'd tell them they have to be modified to avoid being used as a weapon and what's their suggestion? Your...

The OP said it went blank, I assume meaning the display went out. Sent from my SM-S205DL using Tapatalk

I looked it up, they're expensive! I see used ones on Ebay, etc. Other than basic troubleshooting, check PCB over with magnification (bad solder connection?) about all you can do. I would call Trane customer service, maybe they have repair service or replacement recommendation. Sent from my...

A speed bump, 300ft road...speed bump every 50-60 ft would do it, so just 5-6. You could use different things, sections of 2" pipe, concrete (make a box, pour in quickrete...box for a form to make them). Here's a funny true story. I grew up in country, across road down a long gravel drive were...

I didn't read all 90+ posts, and I'm not a well expert. Just 68yo diy'er growing up on a hand dug 40ft well on a farm, 2 springs and a 2ac lake. Underground well house, couple miles of pipes going everywhere, two houses, both springs and lake. 1) did you check tank to meter pipe? Imho there are...

I have to agree, those in the know. Mom was talking about it years ago when I first got it, as I say maybe the worker had another similar one. It's all a mystery to me. Sent from my SM-S205DL using Tapatalk

What's odd is my 94 yo Mom remembered the maintenance guy well and remembered him carrying it around the store when he worked there WWII era. It's certainly possible he had a similar one then and he got this later. Why he used machinist box for maintenance is beyond me. His widow also gave me...

I'll catch h*** for this but I put a light on my pump. Whether you have a well house like I do or bladder tank is in basement I'd want to know when the pump is running. Outside my well house I put a socket with a purple 60 Watt bulb in it. It's been that way 40 years. Purple so I can see if it's...
