Instruction manual says to turn it off, but I didn't. It's similar to changing a light bulb in a lamp. If you want it off though, easier than unplugging it would be to switch off the circuit breaker.

Thank you for this. My GE microwave has the same manual with instructions to unscrew .... when the bulb clearly doesn't unscrew. Thanks to you, I got it out! Off to HD to get a new bulb. I was going to set up a countertop lamp before I called a service tech for this. I think if the bulb inside the microwave goes, I'll be microwaving in the dark.

Nice video! You have said that you can open the old relief valve to drain and drop down the pressure once all the valves are closed. Once you open all the valves to put the water back in the boiler, can you do the same thing and open the new Pressure Relief Valve to bleed the air out of the boiler?
@realhouseDIY 5 күн бұрын
I hadn't thought of that. Small amount of air I let the air bleed vents take care of. Larger amount I suppose I would feel more comfortable using the large valves with the garden hose vs the relief valve.

How many psi i want to set ?
@realhouseDIY 7 күн бұрын
Not based on psi, though you will notice the psi is higher with water pressure also pushing (vs the low 5-7 psi with an empty tank). Open the beverage faucet while you pump air in and it will be easier, as it will push out some water at the same time. Just start with several pumps and keep checking the water until it is flowing how you want.
@abdurrahmanr8342 7 күн бұрын
How its possible?
@realhouseDIY 7 күн бұрын
Without the water storage tank, you would only get a trickle of water from an RO beverage faucet because that's as fast as water can filter through the RO membrane. The storage tank collects filtered water so it can be dispensed at a faster rate. The tank is pressurized with air to help push the water out. By adding more compressed air into the tank you can adjust the flow rate.

@realhouseDIY 18 күн бұрын
Not absolutely necessary, but it depends on the faucet. It may hang down and not stay in position without the weight. It's easy enough to try out and just put the weight back on if it doesn't work out. Or might be able to just position the weight higher so it isn't pulling on the faucet end of the hose.
