That's a pretty amazing thing to boast! I would recommend you start generating some ad revenue bucks! These are by far the most popular Plumbing forums on the internet. Thanks Terry, I've learned alot from your forums. trying to stay within the 80% rule there. It also helps that I have two dedicate 20 amp breakers for my outside lights, of which I still only get to about 1400 on those as the power boxes are only rated to 1650, so. Now that I have split the lights up to limit them to about 1000 watts per circuit, I havent had any issues. I know when I had xmas lights outside, and it would get wet, it would trip the gfci. I would also think that being at the limit for one circuit would put a strain on the breaker, even though all lights on at the same time is rare. I can match Tab A with slot A, run a spur for a fan/light off the very end of a circuit, and 'eventually' figure out what goes to what breaker. Is it possible they did a white return into a ceiling box and due to a faulty breaker this is causing the trip? Like I said, I'm not an electrician. ALL of the wall plugs are on 3 other circuits. Strange though, when the breaker trips, it is when all the lights are on.and there is something running with a heating element or a fan or anything else drawing a lot of power from the wall plugs. Nice! Well, I have many canned lights, bar lights and hall lights for a total of 2100 watts of peak power. Probably wont but.yea, so who knows if that 220 is done correct or grounded well enough. I found out they used push type connectors but never screwed them down, thinking all you had to do is push them in and push the unit back into the box to ensure they wouldnt fall out. I also had some lights flickering when I would walk through the hall. 4 wire, grounded well but the people that lived in my house before me added the finished basement and put all the canned lights and bar lights on one 15 amp breaker. I had to swap the positions of the washer/dryer so there is a 220 outlet there for the dryer RIGHT behind where the hose connections are. Yea Im not an electrician although I play one at home. It looks like there are 3 selenoids or maybe 4 if I am looking at this right, connected to this one water inlet to allow different areas for water to spray throughout the tub vs just dumping water into a tub like on top loaders. At least my last ones were some sort of fiberous nylon vs this cheap plastic. Rated very high with great reviews online, except very CHEAP plastic inlet valves with no meat to them. I think the connectors are all part of the entire unit. I'm not a plumber so, I have no idea if there is some adage like "if it doesnt leak now, it most likely wont leak later, except if it's plastic because plastic is for toys.not plumbing" I believe it's left over spray in the general area that was on my hands and then I touched the connector.Īnyway, what are the chances that it will leak if it doesnt leak now? I noticed some very light water which may be condensation or, a very very very slow leak. I tried one last time, against what I know is right, and I really tightened it down to allow the washer to seat at the end of the pipe in hopes that this would stop the leaking. Surely someone will see the butcher job of a repair if I ever need repair. However, likely all the plumbing internal is plastic so, the best I could do is replace it with another plastic. Sigh, so what now? Do I call them and make up some stupid story about how it doesnt work to get another one delivered or,ĭo I dive in and try to figure out a way to retrofit the current fittings into a better solution like BRASS. I looked, and realized that the threads were crossed and mashed on my brand new washer! These connectors are plastic and cheap as shit. So.I unscrewed the hose, tried a new hose - same result. I really wasnt paying attention because I was still pissed at this point as my feet were a bit damn from walking on the still damp carpet from the morons that delivered these things. I'm so used to using tef tape that I put it on the back of my washer, screwed down the hose connector feeds, pushed everything back to position, turned the water on and water went EVERYWHERE. Well fast forward after dinner I go to hook all this up. When I say a ton I mean, it took me 3 hours to clean the carpets and I still have a shade discoloration darker than it was originally. Instead of letting them hook it up, I was pissed and threw them out. I had a new washer and dryer shipped to me, but the delivery guys tracked a TON of mud onto my carpet going downstairs.
