I had hoses blowing off the discharge side of my above ground pool. Brand new pump with DE filter system. Starts off at 10psi with new earth but quickly creeps up to 18 and up. Hoses stopped blowing off when I removed the eyeball at the discharge port going back into the pool but still looking at about 20psi after very little run time. Someone said that its possible that the manifold grids in the filter housing could be collapsed which may create a restriction? What components CAN cause a restriction?Idunno. All new stuff. I give. ANY Ideas are welcomed!! Tank You!

What about if you live in a Manufactured Home? It is tied down like a trailer, so what winds speeds effect the mobile homes? I saw someone had listed the wind speeds and what they do, so I was wondering if you knew for mobile homes/manufactured homes? Pretty much the same.
I just moved in here and have had storm after storm, and it worries me.

I mean, some people are like 'oh man, it's time to clean the house again' when the time rolls around, and some people are like 'Awesome! I get to clean the house today! I am so looking forward to doing this!'. What is up with that? Really? I despise all housework except for cooking and organizing. I really hate cleaning up and vacuuming, sweeping, and dusting of any kind. Mopping is okay and so is watering the plants but as for anything else I practicly run away when the dirt and grime become visible and I can't see the floor anymore. But that doesn't mean I don't do the housework. I would just like to know your opinions on housework and any suggestions as to why people love to clean the house. CarCar:)

I have yard ants that have been killed by just sprinkling yellow cornmeal on them. I know you mix something else with the cornmeal to get rid of the ants but I don't remember what is is.

I need to extend the drain tube outside for my central A/C unit. The area where it is draining is not absoring the water and the unit has quite a bit of water around it. I purchased 1/2 x 3/8 tubing. How should I run the extension tubing so that the water drains properly? Should I keep the tube flat, should I arc the tube up and then down, or does it not matter?

My toilet gets clogged almost weekly. It gets to the point where when I flush, it doesn't take anything down and the bowl fills up completely with water which will drain if I let it sit for 15-20 minutes. The toilet bowl is oddly shaped so it is hard to plunge. I have to plunge it like 50 times before it will finally flush properly. I had a plumber come in and he used an auger which helped for a little bit, but now it's back to its old tricks. I have a small auger which I use but it doesn't help (maybe the clog is too far down?) Any suggestions?

I purchased a 24" direct drive exhaust fan with the typical black, white and ground wiring designed to be connected directly into the circuit. I would like to convert this connection to a 3-prong cord so I can plug it into a nearby wall socket. The fan's specs are: 120V / 60 Hz / 336 W / 2.8 Amps. Could I safely accomplish this by attaching a 12 gauge, 3 conductor grounded SPT-3 cord or another gauge cord like an SJT? I plan on using this fan only as needed during the summer months and won't need it permanently connected throughout the year. I know a enough about electricity to possibly get myself into trouble. Having never attempted something like this, I thought I'd ask for some experienced advice here. Thanks for your reply.

My a/c started freezing up about a week or so ago when some really hot weather started hitting. It will run for about a day and some cold air will come out - but not really strong - and then the unit out back will freeze (with ice). I let it thaw out and turn it back on and the fans start up and all and the house slowly gets cool but then the next day it freezes again. I have replaced the filter and made sure several times it was in the right way. What should I check next? I do not have the money for an expensive service call and it is 100 degrees out there today in the shade. This unit has worked up until now and I have seperate units for the upstairs and downstairs. The one I am having trouble with is on the main level.

Thank you
