What happens if you choose the slowest speed for a CD-R?
@happydiytime5 ай бұрын
In general, if the CD burns and plays successfully, but sounds scratchy or distorted, especially on the high number tracks, then a slower burn speed might be needed. I did not try the slowest speed. I think, generally, with a slower speed, the quality of burning is higher, the burning time is longer, and the burned CD is compatible with a wider range of CD players.

I recently used the rebuilt kit offered for my Wilkins 1-1/4" 600, and read up a lot before attempting from all the advice in the commit section on Amazon & YT videos. Prepping by boring smooth the open shaft where the stem & o-ring glides is the key, and it worked out fine for me. An original rebuilt kit cost $83 w/tax from Amazon, and a new PRV would have been $572 w/tax, at 1/7th the cost, it was worth the gamble.

Thanks for sharing your experience! You did a great job! I agree that it is worth trying the rebuilt kit first. I considered the rebuilt kit for my PRV and found that the price difference was ~$20.

Next time, I will try the rebuilt kit. It will be a lot of fun and decrease the cost.

Thanks for the well-marked "what is what" at 1:06. Does the "sprinklers" refer to lawn water sprinklers? In my townhouse, I have a fire suppression water sprinkler system, and it branches out just downstream of the main shutoff ball valve, but upstream of the Pressure Reducing Valve. So, while my PRV location would protect the plumbing in the house, I worry about the high municipal water pressure "overpressurizing" the fire suppression water sprinkler system.
@happydiytime6 ай бұрын
Yes, the "sprinklers" in the video refer to lawn water sprinklers. For the fire suppression water sprinkler system, as far as I know, the maximum pressure is 175 psi. As long as the municipal water pressure is below 175 psi, you do not need to worry about it, I think.

Good video. However, two improvements: 1. Replace the rotary cold water shutoff valve with another ball valve. 2. Invert the expansion tank so that the water intake is located at the bottom. Which, in theory, would tend to maximize the durability of the rubber gasket inside the expansion tank.

You can save a lot of money by just removing the black plastic bonnet on the regulator then grabbing the cartridge bolt with vice grips and pulling out diaphragm assembly no need to use pipe wrenches to remove entire regulator. cleaning the frozen cartridge assembly that is stuck from calcium buildup, the retaining bolt that bolts to the seal ring on the bottom and the diaphragm on the top needs needs to slide both ways about 1/4 inch so unscrew the assembly and clean use o-ring lube or plumbers lube on bolt stem and all rubber for reassembly, best to take pictures during disassembly. No worries if you brake it--- you buy a repair kit for 1/3 the price of the complete regulator on line-- so its work the time.

I guess the main reason is the disc format. For the disc format, choose "Audio CD" (as shown in the video) instead of "MP3 CD".

In my reply just now, I forgot to mention that I had the same problem as you described (always loading) when I first made a CD using the "MP3 CD" disc format. I made another CD using the "Audio CD" disc format, then it can be played using the CD player in my car. After inserting the blank CD disk drive, in the pop up window, choose "Audio CD", that should solve the problem. As the files in audio CDs are stored in its original uncompressed form, the maximum number of songs in one disk is somewhere between 20 and 30 in general. You might need to burn at least two CDs for 55 songs.

Hi Cristhian, it is an excellent question. Here is the information from the installation instruction for this flooring: "When installing over a crawl space or concrete slab, it may be necessary to use a moisture barrier to prevent moisture migration. A plastic film with a minimum thickness of 6 mil should be placed with a 4 - 6 in. (101.6 - 152 mm) overlapped seam, and taped with a suitable tape." I did not use the moisture barrier as I feel that the moisture is not a problem for my location. But in general, it is a good idea to add a moisture barrier. Thanks for your question.
