    In-ground Pool Utilities

    Check you pump for the GPH spec, then divide 12,000 by that number,the answer is the HOURS it'd take to filter every drop of water but....that's not how it really works of course, it's 'blended' water .... the panels would raise my pool 10*F on a solid sunny day. cut BASIC code to maximize the...

    In-ground Pool Utilities

    yes there is a 'sequence'..to EASY pool maintenance... 1) first get the PH right..... which you do 2) filter, friend gets by with 4-6 hrs a day. 3) backwash once a week,for maybe 5-10 minutes, he now has a fancy DC pump and computer,but the MORE you keep the water in motion, the less YOU have...

    Grading A Hill Along Driveway

    Instead of buying any attachments, rent a mini or mid excavator for a day running parallel to the road, you'll quickly remove-relocate the material as needed about 1/4 way through you'll be good enough to not need a box blade for 'grading',instead just need a 'beam and chains' behind your BX23S.

    Leaf raking tools

    I gave away my cyclone rake when I saw the price to replace the 'rubber' impeller ! and the steel band was destroyed ! The band is NOT available BTW.... Seems driving over a gravel driveway several times isn't a good idea...... The dealer wanted cash up front and NO delivery date.......

I had an above 15' ground,got 22 years out of it till wall parted..., maybe 20 minutes every 3 days to 'maintain', friend has inground 20x30, same amount of labour. We both use chlorine pucks.

    Land Pride TNT or buy components myself

    Chad... your 'better half ' must be really, really patient ! There's no way mine would accept a 30 week delay in getting projects done ! If you order the Fit rite unit today, you'd get it NEXT Christmas. $1200 for 2 cylinders and 4 hoses does seem high... what's the specs for the 'side lift'...

    Kubota ZD1211 - won't start

    Based on the 'gauges' wiring diagram in the WSM (5-M17), I'd say the R/W wire is used to sense that the 20 amp fuse is blown and that no power is going to the stop solenoid and the OPC unit. Power for the meter panel is supplied by pin 15 , R/Y from the 10 amp fuse, ground is pin 7, Blk wire...

    Kubota ZD1211 - won't start

    Any (every ?) splice can become a problem, you just need a little bit of water to start corroding the wire, make take weeks or months, but it WILL happen. yes, run a 'full length' wire now while you can, use larger gauge wire if you have it. Hopefully same colour ! if it's 'red with white'...

    Inverter generator

    'regular' generator... the output will be a real nice CLEAN sinewave.. tis the 'nature of the beast'. 'inverter' generator... output might be 'clean' or 'dirty' or in between. It'll vary from make to make, model to model, actual power being used. You need a spectrum analyzer ( you HAVE one...

    In-ground Pool Utilities

    You don't mention what the distance is from house to pool area but.... run 100% of the services in large diameter conduit, so you can add or replace, as needed use quality air hose ( NOT PVC or PEX). I asume PVC would be glued sections..., PEX isn't offically rated for 155PSI ( or any air...

    BX5450 Snowblower vs. Deer blower

    With my BX23S running at 2500, I seriously doubt I'd notice any difference between chain versus gears. It would be interesting to see ACTUAL db readings from IDENTICAL units though. If you know the number of teeth on the 2 sprockets, you know the ratio and could cost out making a reduction box(3...

    Kubota ZD1211 - won't start

    Whew ! Man I'm happy you got it 'up and running', you sure have patience !! You really need to clean all the mud and sticks off the HST ! Those cooling fins on it work a LOT better without mud in between them. Electrical 'gremlins' are a slow process of elimination but you NEED the wiring...
