Why is your house air conditioner leaking so much water in the house?
When you cool hot air, water condenses out of it. This water should be piped to the outside of the air conditioner unit and drained away outside. It is possible that the drain pipe is blocked.
Why don't we use water in hydraulic systems instead of hydraulic oil?
Water can cause steel components to rust. Oil is much less corrosive.
What is wrong whenWater is running on the floor but toliet is not leaking anywhere?
Your question isn't very clear. Toilet must be leaking somewhere. Shut off valve, supply line, the seal between the tank and the bowl or the wax ring underneath the toilet. In warm weather, the tank can sweat if the water filling it is cold in high humidity. It pretty much has to be one of these places.
What can cause a commode not to flush?
Clogged toilet, mainline stoppage, not enough water in the tank or bowl, too much slack in flapper chain, bad flapper, broken handle...

There are many reasons why a Jeep Wrangler is overheating. A leak in the radiator system will cause overheating. Too much pressure in the engine can cause overheating. A bad water pump or thermostat could cause overheating. The transmission can also cause overheating if it is leaking.

Can leaking fuel injectors cause engine damage?
Very much so. Excess fuel caused by a leaking injector can wash the bore, this can cause a seizure. Also excess fuel can dilute the engine oil, again causing a possible engine seizure . And on a lighter note, leaking injectors can certainly damage the contents of your wallet.
There is a water leaking in the pipeline of AC how much it costs to change AC pipeline?
You are not leaking water. Its humid, so the cold parts of your a/c unit are condensing moisture much like a cold drink gets water droplets on the outside. find the source, wrap that tubing with insulation and viola, no more drips.
Would to much freon leaking out of your air conditioner affect it and how?
Yes it would and it would cause the a/c not to cool and even worse it can cause damage to the a/c unit as well.........
Why will the handle flush the toilet easily when no water is in the tank but require too much force to flush it when water is in the tank?
It could be that the chain attached the handle to the flapper is too long. that would be the easiest thing to try first.
What is wrong with your toilet if you have to hold down the handle to get it to flush all the way and how can you fix it?
To be honest, my whole family have had to hold down the handle to get it to flush in one of our toilet for two years until today that I searched this page and do my trouble shooting. I replaced the Flapper two years ago, and did not realize that the first step that you need to do is to cut the collar off from the new Flapper if your toilet has mounting arm. The Flapper is designed to fit two different kind of toilets, the one with mounting arm and the one that doesn't have(and thus need a collar). If the collar is not cut off. it generates push down force every time you press the handle to flush the toilet. That is the reason that you need to hold down the handler. Inside the tank, there is a flush valve. Depending on the age of the toilet, it typically either is a "flapper" or "tank ball' style. Each type have a little bouyancy...when you press tank handle, the suction is broken, and the flapper or ball floats open. As the tank empties and the water level gets lower in the tank, the flapper or ball re-settles on its seat. Your flapper or ball is not floating open. Look inside tank, press handle. Observe flapper or ball. If the flapper or ball does not float open, you may need to simply shorten the chain...just a little. Typically, you can readjust the chain linkage where it connects to the handle. Also, you can pull the chain from inside the tank...without using the handle to see how it is supposed to work and determine how much slack is needed in the chain. Good Luck The "floating open" problem in the previous answer may be from a deteriorating flapper. The upside down cup that holds the air may be torn, and allow the air to escape too fast, dropping the flapper prematurely. I had the same problem and thanks to these previous answers, I solved my problem. It is very hard to describe parts without pictures, but here goes. There is the small hose that emits water into a "column" which goes to the "rubber flapper". I first checked my flapper to see if it had eroded and it seemed fine, actually almost new. While I was checking that, I noticed that the flapper had a rubber round part which instead of being over the "column", was behind the column. It made sense to me that this round rubber part should go over the column, so I pulled the flapper off at the sides where it was connected (by these two small tabs) and pulled the rubber ring up and over the column. I pushed the ring all the way down to the bottom of the column and over the two plastic tabs at the bottom of the column. I then felt around and made sure the flapper was not leaking (kind of like checking to make sure a rubber stopper in a sink is not leaking) and it was good. The chain was adjusted so there was not a lot of slack. I had a toilet that was constantly running in the powder room. It is an Eljer installed when the house was built in 1992. The flapper valve was quite deteriorated and the flush handle/lever was worn and sticking. I replaced the other 2 toilets in the house with much higher quality Toto toilets a few years back. Money is tight at the moment so I decided to just fix this one. I bought a new "Korky" flapper valve and a replacement flush handle at a local hardware retailer and replaced them. After this I noticed that the water level in the bowl was much lower after refilling and that I had to hold the lever down to get it to complete a flush. After reading the above answers and several others from other websites I took the lid back off the tank and this is what I found: The new flapper valve was manufactured with a hole in it that immediately let the air out once the flapper valve is vertical, causing it to drop down and reseal the tank too soon. I shut off the water and removed the flapper valve, dried it off, and placed a smal piece of electrical tape over the hole to see if the flapper valve would then perform properly and it did. Also I noticed that when I had done the original work I failed to replace the bowl refill tube back into it's original location in the overflow tube and that was what was causing the lower water level in the bowl after flushing. There is nothing complicated or requiring long explanations about this - Simply remove flapper, get a universal flapper and fit it - done !
What cause grass to increase or decrease?
The cause of grass to increase/ decrease is how much you water it and not water it, how much sun light it gets and air.
