Why does the water have to run for a long time to get it hot?
The water pipes are full of cold water. All that cold water has to be flushed from the pipes before the hot water from the tank reaches your faucet.
Why does the new water faucet tip say on the instructions to use the fat washer if for inside faucet but not for the outdoor faucet?
more flow but do not last as long as beveled ===
Why does your new faucet make a popping sound when the water runs?
it usually means the faucet is just getting used to being worked.it usually does not last long.
Why does it take 90 seconds to get hot water from tank to faucet?
That's just how long it takes to get the water that is sitting in the pipe out. Unless you have a circulating pump on the line so that there is always hot water at the faucet, it always takes a bit of time for the water to get hot. The hot water is in the tank, not the pipe connecting it to the faucet. There is nothing in the pipe to keep the water hot.
How much water do you use brushing teeth?
It all depends on how long you leave the faucet running.
Why does the hot water work but the cold is slow from the kitchen faucet?
It is probably due to a blockage somewhere in the coldwater pipe or faucet. The easiest to check is the faucet. Turn off the water supply valves. Then take apart the faucet and look for tiny pieces of material (usually metal) that might block the flow of water thru the portholes. If there is no blockage, then the next probable cause is blockage in the pipe. This can occur in copper pipes anywhere there is a soldered joint. The blockage comes from using too much solder so it builds up in the pipe. It is most likely the faucet. Even if you don't see blockage it could be there. You can usually replace the faucet "guts" without too much expense and its worth a try, before working on the water pipes.
When you drain an above-ground pool can you safely use the water to water your moisture-starved landscape?
Normal chroline level in pool water is nothing more than tap water out of the faucet. As long as the pool water tests normal when testing with your pool test kit, you can let your grass enjoy the water. I do it all the time when draining rain water off my above the ground pool. I put a pump in the pool and run a garden hose to the sprinkler. The grass does well.
I have to run the water in the kitchen for long time to get it hot but the bath water gets hot fast its further away from the hot water tank than the kitchen?
The volume of water that comes out of the tub faucet is much greater than the volume of water that comes out of the kitchen faucet. Let's say that the bathroom is twice as far from the water heater than the kitchen, so twice as much water has to be run to get the hot water. If the tub faucet allows more than twice as much water to pass through, then it will get there faster.
How cold is too cold for humans in water?
Cold water can sap the heat from a human fairly quickly, even if it is fairly warm. Water that is below the normal body temperature will eventually cause a person to die of hypothermia. How far below that temperature will determine how long it takes for this to happen. While warm water may take many hours, even days, very cold water such as the North Atlantic would be measured in minutes.
How long can you keep shrimp in cold water in the refrigerator in cold water before it spoils?
3 to 5 days.
When do people waste water?
people waste water when they leave the hose or faucet on for a long time without using the water even a little drop of water is still a lot of water people waste everyday
Your water pipes in your bathtub make a howling noise. When you open the sink faucet it stops or if you wait long enough it stops on its own. How do you solve this problem?
Could be the washer vibrating in the bath faucet/mixer. Over time, washers can degrade and become floppy or develop a rough surface. High pressure water over the surface can act like air past a clarinet reed. Opening the sink faucet takes the water feed pressure off the bath faucet, stopping the vibration.
