Do you have your own well? If so the pressure switch has kicked in and the pump is running. If the pressure tank is in good shape, there is usually enough residual pressure in the piping system to be suitable, but when it drops the pump kicks in and that can take a bit. Did someone flush a toilet? A toilet refilling will take water out of the system, thereby reducing the system pressure. When it's finished filling, the pressure returns to normal.

Are magnets used on shower doors?

Yes, magnets are commonly used on shower doors to help keep them closed and prevent water from leaking out. The magnets are usually placed at the edges or corners of the door to create a secure seal when closed.


How would you prevent fall slip in the bathroom?

To prevent falls and slips in the bathroom, you can install grab bars near the toilet and in the shower, use non-slip mats or adhesive strips in the tub and shower, ensure good lighting, keep the floor dry, and consider adding a shower chair or bench for stability.


Why would the hot water side of the bath tub faucet cause the water line to vibrate when turned partially on?

AnswerIf you have the old style seats and washers type shower valve, the water is trying to squeeze between the seat and the washer. If it was air, it would whistle. Water hammers. Usually high pressure contributes to this effect. The only way to solve this problem is to replace your shower valve with a cartridge type shower valve. Or,reduce the pressure in your house.Or do like my wife told me to do. Our pipes in the bathroom sink have been vibrating for months now. We researched everything possible. She said " try turning up the valve a little". Guess what? it worked. Do the 'KISS' method.(Keep It Simple Stupid)


How is intrapleural pressure maintained?

Intrapleural pressure is maintained by the opposing forces of the elastic recoil of the lung and chest wall. During inspiration, the diaphragm contracts and the intercostal muscles expand the thoracic cage, causing a decrease in intrapleural pressure. This negative pressure helps keep the lungs inflated.


What are pressure vessels designed to hold?

A pressure vessel is a closed container designed to hold gases or liquids at pressures substantially different from ambient pressures. The pressure vessels need to keep the liquids and gases at a pressure where they can be stored properly since the outside pressure of the atmosphere might not be able to properly store the gas or liquid.

How do you keep shower temperature from changing when someone flushes the toilet or uses another sink?

Your water pressure is low. Consequently, when cold water is diverted to another application such as a toilet or a sink, the amount of cold water available at the shower mixing valve decreases as the low pressure is unable to keep up with the shower's demand. This causes a hotter mixture at the shower head. The solution is to either improve the cold water supply to the shower or to replace the shower control valve with a temperature compensating type. Pressure balancing is the cheapest and simply changes the shower temperature according to the pressure in the cold and hot water lines. When the toilet or sink is used, reduced pressure to the shower valve is detected and the valve reduces the hot water pressure, thereby maintaining the temperature. The more sophisticated approach is a thermostatic shower control valve. These are significantly more expensive, but will not reduce the pressure at the shower head (a drawback of the pressure balancing valve). The thermostatic valve would be required when one shower control valve is operating several shower heads. Moen, Kohler and Delta all make both types of control valves. They can be readily obtained from a local plumbing supply house.


Why does the treadmill belt stop when I step on it?

When you step on the treadmill belt, the added weight and pressure can cause the motor to struggle to keep the belt moving, leading to it stopping.


Why will a shower curtain fly toward the shower when the shower is running and hang straight down when it is off?

When you have a hot shower steam is generated and, because it is warmer than the surrounding air, it rises. As the steam flows upwards, cooler air flows in to the lower level of the shower. If the shower is not fully enclosed, the steam will flow out the top of the shower area and the cooler air will flow in near the base of the shower. If the air cannot easily get around the curtain, it will push it inwards as it flows past. Ways to address this are:fully enclosing the shower to keep the steam inweighting the curtain basehaving significant gaps beside the curtain to let air inhanging the curtain so it is held against the shower base lip by its own weight by positioning the rail well outside (>100mm beyond) the line of the base. (This will mean that if the curtain swings outside the shower base it will drip on the floor, so needs a high lip to hold the curtain in.)This effect is caused by a small reduction in the air pressure of the column of air that is inside the shower curtain. The reduction is caused by the pressure of the water being sprayed out of the shower head having to drop from a higher pressure towards normal atmospheric air pressure. This effect is known as the Venturi Effect.The air does not quite reach normal atmospheric pressure until it gets out of the column of air formed by the shower curtain. Because that column of air is at a lower pressure than the air outside the curtain, the curtain gets pressed inwards by the higher (but normal) air pressure in the rest of the room.This effect happens the same no matter if the water temperature is hot, medium or cold.
