Water based solvents will often destroy the paint inside the washer. I'd stick with solvent based. I use PSC1000 and have been very happy with it. Very mild odor...not offensive at all and with the lid closed there is no odor. The flash point is 143 degrees so very safe. Nothing in...

Since you have the cover off, try blowing everything out with compressed air and then cleaning everything really well. I have two of the heaters and dust and spiders collect there over the spring, summer, and fall and sometimes cause ignition issues. Not often but occasionally in the 8 years...

I think it has been covered but the OP should NOT do a vent free unit. They do make heat fairly cheaply but the moisture they produce is a big negative ESPECIALLY for the OP’s climate. In a dry, not long term cold climate like Tx, they can work ok. Never great but ok. The OP will absolutely HATE...

I think you're the one wound up about it. I'm just laughing at the silliness of people.

So total price is really what matters and if the total price is less, you'll ignore your "principles" and pick the cheaper price. Maybe your "principles" are stupid and you should be focusing on total price and not how the evil mechanic shop gets there. But, this does illustrate a valid...

Tell me which shop you would pick. You need a repair on your vehicle that you are unable to do. Shop 1: Retail price on the part is $100. Shop quotes you $100 for the part and $200 for labor. Shop 2: Retail price on the part is $100. Shop quotes you $125 for the part and $150 for...

While I don't think you are wrong.....your post also illustrates how stupid people really are.

I have nothing against mechanics making money but since I can do the work myself, I don't pay them any. Works out quite well for me. But, if you can't fix your own stuff, you will have to pay someone. I still don't get why people are upset at the parts markup. Total cost is all that matters...

Another potential option would be to duct hot air from the attic to the unit and then exhaust the cooled air back into the attic.

I have a well insulated garage. We get cold winter temps but usually not for long. With the heat from the vehicles, even with the heat pump water heater running, the garage never gets below 40*. We have a vented Mr. Heater in the garage and if it gets really cold, I sometimes will turn it on...

Reminds me of a funny story....not trying to make any point with the story it's just funny. Friend of mine was having an issue with her Mustang. It ran but very poorly. Appeared to be missing on several cylinders. I diagnosed it and figured out the PCM was bad. I was just trying to help her...

Funny how the same people complaining about the cost of auto repairs are the same ones who definitely aren't volunteering to take a pay cut in their industry. But those mechanics are just ripping everyone off. I don't like the cost of auto repairs either...which is why I have a fully...

I had a GE in my last house. Liked it but it did have a failure but was repaired under warranty. Have a Rheem in my current house. Been running flawlessly for more than 6 years now. We have it mounted in the garage. For most of the year it uses heat from the cars. For my area, it doesn't...

I think there might be some issues/fraud with Home Depot online orders. Not sure. I ordered a 5 gallon bucket from Ebay. I received a power tool from Home Depot. Clearly addressed to me. I contacted the ebay seller. They had no idea but told me they would send me another bucket. They did...

Do it. The battery commonality is awesome. Good tools. The batteries are overpriced but I just use a lot of aftermarket batteries. They do have a higher failure rate but they work well aside from an occasional failure.

I run all my equipment and 2 cycle engines on ethanol gas. It works great. Ethanol is a great solvent so will help keep the fuel system clean. Been doing it for years. Also store ethanol gas for years at a time. Well sealed fuel storage is the key. Ethanol really doesn’t absorb water from the...

I have 2 chain saws and a weed eater. All 2 cycle. When my weed eater dies, I’ll replace it with a Milwaukee M18 weed eater. One of my chainsaws could be replaced with a M18 saw. It’s a small 14 inch saw for limbing downed trees and trimming branches. The larger saw can’t be replaced by battery...

This is an old thread! But that happens some times since threads aren’t archived here. It ok just kinda funny when it happens! The OP hasn’t been seen around here since 2018! Laws vary from state to state. It ***** but in many/most states LE cannot do a thing in a case like this other than to...

That’s so they can sell them and skirt the silly CARB rules. My NATO cans come with “not for fuel use” stickers on them. I peel the stickers off and fill them up…..with gasoline.

Try to run water through the heater core. If it flows through it could still be plugged partially but at least you’ll know if a replacement heater core is in your future. It might be ok too.
