@michaelcollins1745 20 seconds ago I've seen lots of videos that use this or similar methods but disagree with them all. Stapled seam should be on the bottom of bunk so no wood or staples are exposed on either side. And material should be cut so length only extends an inch and a half to 2 inches past the ends of the wood. This way the ends can be tucked in and closed up like wrapping a christmas present with staples to hold the ends together. This method I mention requires the proper width carpeting for the size of your bunks so no wood is left exposed.

Good install. One thing you probably should check - not sure your manometer is adjusted correctly. This is a problem for most installs because people don't realize the glass tubes can slide up or down in the bracket. Your vid shows it is pulling vacuum , but, the other side is setting at zero. Zero the gauge. To do this, just pull out the clear tube, and slide the glass up or down to get both sides at the zero mark. The lower the vac pull, the higher the airflow, so with a semi-accurate measurement, the fan manual will then tell you how much actual airflow you are getting. Bottom line is what you have already figured out with the use of these terrific digital gauges - your radon levels dropped radically. Well done.

@livens100 Жыл бұрын
By adding that 1" drain that bypasses the radon fan you have effectively introduced a huge leak in the system. The fan is going to be pulling air down from that drain instead of from your basement. Did you add a manometer on the inside PVC to test for negative pressure?

It's also against building code to install within a living space since accidental disconnects or other piping failure could allow the fan to basically pump the radon into the living space. So the fans are generally installed outdoors or within an attic only - no crawlspace either as accidental disconnect would then allow the radon to seep into the living space above.

Cutting the ends like this makes the carpet more likely to rip and exposes the hard wood corners to the boat. I'd just fold it to match the underside then fold it over and staple. Nice thick covering over the corners and no torn fabric down the line.

I have a question: if you just install such a pipeline, without a fan, does it still work good? My reasons: 1. because the sump lid is sealed, if there is some gas (air or mixed with other harmful materials, most from the underground) in the sump space, pressure is built up, the gas will come out. I think we can also use a vertical sewage pipe which has a vent up out from the roof to guide the gas out. Use natural pressure difference to release the gas. (The higher place has lower pressure than the lower place). What you do think?
@techfox540
@techfox540 Жыл бұрын
No, without a fan it will not work. The fan creates a negative pressure that pulls out the radon gas. If Radon is heavier than air and will sit in the basement unless pulled out.

@raccoonhouse Жыл бұрын
Without a fan the system will be considered a passive system instead of an active system. Of course it won't work as well without suction, but it might work well enough if your radon levels are only marginal to begin with and the sump is your only source of radon entering your house. It doesn't hurt to try without a fan first, just be sure to test again to see if your passive system accomplished the safe radon levels you want to achieve.
