A Hydrostatic valve is basically a plug that stop water coming down out of the pool, but when the water pressure under the pool gets higher then the pressure in the pool it will let water into the pool from underneath in order to stop the pool from floating in ground water.

Why is your trumpet valve stuck?

Your trumpet valve sticks because it is to dry if you want to fix it buy some valve oil undo the valves and put some along the metal piece.


How do you oil a baritone?

If you have a conventionally-made baritone horn, you should be able to unscrew the tops of the valves by turning counter-clockwise. After doing that, take them out and put some oil on them, as much as you deem necessary.


When was the diaphragm valve invented?

the diaphragm valve was developed during the 1940s.


My baritone valve is stuck aneven though I have twisted and used slide oil it still won't budge.?

Always take it to a repair shop if you're having a lot of trouble. You don't want to damage the instrument further. However, sticky valves are quite common. If the valve is stuck up, push it down. Remove the bottom screw and gently push the valve out the top of the horn (with your finger or if that doesn't work, a drum stick). Then use "valve oil" (not slide oil) and apply liberally all over the valve. Replace the parts and you should be good to go! If this isn't working you need to take it into a repair shop.


Why is the french horn so curly?

since there are so many valves, and they are rotory valves, there are actual tubes for each valve, including a valve for the trigger and a valve for no buttons as well. there are not as many valves on the trumpet because they have a different type of valves: the valves of the trumpet work like when you press down the button, the actual valve moves and a hole opens so it shows that the button was pushed down so the pitch comes through. there is only one necessary tube on the trumpet, because the valves are just holes in the tube. this is different on horn, because there are different tubes for each valve. the horn valves are rotors, so when you press down the button, the rotor moves and opens a hole. there is a different rotor for each valve, which means that every valve MUST have its own tube. this is why there are so many tubes on the horn:]

Any pool can have a hydrostatic valve and nothing has been made that cannot be broken eventually.


How do you replacement hydrostatic valve?

Very carefully


Where is the hydrostatic drain valve?

The Hydrostatic valve is usually on the lowest part of the pools floor. The hydrostatic valve is there to protect the pool from being lifted by ground water in the event that it is empty. it allows the ground water under the pool to get into the pool thereby stopping it from floating out of the ground on top of the ground water.


I was told that my 30 year old pool was installed without a hydrostatic valve Can a hydrostatic valve be now installed with the pool full or must it be emptied?

I'm not sure if it can be installed after a pool has been installed, try contacting a company who makes these hydrostatic valves and see if it can be done. good luck.


What is the difference between hydraulic and hydrostatic?

hydraulics uses the principle of hydrostatic pressure to work


Should the hydrostatic valve be left open when it is raining?

A "relief valve" can only be accessed when the pool is empty, and no swimming pool should ever be left empty. The only exception is when absolutely necessary due to repair or resurfacing, and that should be completed within the shortest possible time. Any pool that is empty, and that has a relief valve, should have the valve removed for the entire time, regardless of the weather forecast. A "hydrostatic" relief valve opens and closes when needed as it attempts to equalize the pool water pressure with the ground water pressure. Human intervention is not involved because the pool is still filled. Hydrostatic valves are great in theory, but seldom work after a few years.


Why would the pressure not rise in a plumbing system when you try to perform a hydrostatic test and what to do about it?

exspanion tank or relive valve


Does the pool main drain-hydrostatic valve need to be connected to the skimmer box?

the hydrostatic valve is only to equalize pressure of ground water to that of the pool the only time it does anything is when the water table becomes higher in the ground water than in the swimming pool . it doesn't connect to anything. it is simply to keep the pool shell from floating out of the ground


Can you leave an inground pool swimming with concrete bottom and stainless steel sides with a hydrostatic valve empty over the winter?

Theoreticaly Yes


I want to drain a pool to work on the re-plaster how long can I leave the pool empty?

For as long as you like just make sure that the pool has a hydrostatic valve or some other means to stop it from floating out of the ground if it starts raining or the water table underneath it rises. In gunite and concrete pools, the hydrostatic relief valve is located in the bottom drain. Sump or ShopVac the remaining water covering the drain, take out the screws, and remove the cover. Again, using a ShopVac, remove the water just beneath the cover and look inside the drain. There are two possibilities: 1) a relief valve that can be unscrewed and removed, or 2) a second pipe that doesn't point toward your pump and filter. Inside this pipe is a hydrostatic relief valve that probably won't open because of sand or dirt clogging it. Using the handle of a short screwdriver, tap the valve inside the pipe (you may not see it, but it is there) several times until water comes into the pool. There may also be hydrostatic relief valves near the bottom of the steep slope that can be removed. Good luck. -Bill


What are hydra's support system?

The gastrovascular cavity acts as a hydrostatic skeleton against which the contractile cells work.


How does air lock affect a hydrostatic test?

Air can cause a very unsafe rise in pressure as air can be compressed as opposed to water thus the rational for a T&P valve.
