Pressure washer safety
Comments (10)Good start for safety information, Booster. In addition, anyone thinking of making repairs to a pressure washer, should be concerned with safety hazards because of the high pressures involved. These pressures are very similar to hydraulic systems on construction and farm equipment, and also tools like log splitters. If a hydraulic hose fails with just a tiny leak in it, the stream of fluid coming out at 1500 psi from the hose can pierce the skin, and then you will have a major medical event. No reason that a pressure washer wouldn't cause similar injuries. The same goes for repairs to any part of the pressurized system. If a coupling or other fitting needs to be replaced, only fittings rated for high pressure should be used. Replacing fittings with standard plumbing fittings, is not to be done, and will create a safety hazard. GG...See Morereview of samsung washer dryer dv457evgsgr/wf457argswr
Comments (1)You should put this post into the Laundry section. Personally, I wouldn't use those quick-connects. I've had them pop off unexpectedly under pressure. Also, Teflon shouldn't be required since these connections all have rubber washers (no pun intended) in them. The guys who delivered my LG used a web strap (a pair) to lift the washer into position. The web strap resembled a tow strap for a car....See MoreF&P washers and dryers dependable? or look elsewhere?
Comments (11)I have seen some complaints about issues with the top load dryers. Not a lot, grant you, but some. Also seems like there's been issues with damage in delivery, especially on the gas dryers but I'm not seeing anything on that for a long time. Perhaps they've resolved the issue. I am so impressed with the design of the top load dryer (being top load and also for the reversing tumbling to lessen tangling) and I really wanted to buy one and had pretty much decided to splurge and get it when I had to buy one, but in the end I decided against it in favor of a Whirlpool Gold dryer, primarily because the Whirlpool was well over $500 cheaper and additionally it held 25% more than the F&P. That's quite a difference and I'm rather disappointed in the size of the F&P dryer, especially for the price. I think they should be doing better. After a year's use, I don't regret getting the one I did. That said, I'm impressed with the F&P washers too. Very few problems with them from what I've seen. They change models quite frequently, but they're improving as they go. Prices are pretty stable and they're reasonably priced. Yes, the electronics concern me, however as dadoes said, you should put a good surge protector on it, as you should with anything electronically-reliant. Most of the washers these days are electronically controlled. Most do quite well. But you should take precautions to protect your investment. I'd definitely recommend you give F&P serious consideration at least for the washer. You could save some money by going with a non-matching dryer. Otherwise for a basic, solid top load washer, check out the Speed Queens. If you do large loads, the GE Harmony has an avid following too. For what my opinion is worth, and probably not much, you won't go wrong with the F&P washer. Oh, and if you get one, dig back through the old posts. Dadoes has given a bunch of tips and tricks for programming and using the F&P. You'll get that much more out if it if you want to program for various cycles. All depends on your needs. The basics are very sufficient for the average user....See MoreDoes anyone else get extremely paranoid after seeding?
Comments (14)I probably freaked my neighbors out a a month or so ago when I started using a maglite to check for germination. I go out every single night. One neighbor moved out a week ago and some new folks have moved in. I haven't had a chance to speak with them because I don't want to walk across the delicate young grass to say hi. They just really think I'm a weirdo lol. When I used to telework everyday last year, i would be going outside every 2 hours and checking on the seedbed/young grass, run the sprinkler for a quick must when necessary, etc. In my new job, I am at the office everyday. I've noticed greater success this year because I haven't been able to obsessively examine the seedbeds (except in the weekends!)...See Morewestes Zone 9b California SF Bay
