When you turn on the hot water in an appliance such as the washer what could cause a clicking sound upstairs in the wall?

two possible reasons that i can think of, 1, pipes are heating up ( expanding slightly and making noise) or 2,it is a newer home and is equipped with a hot water circulation system which keeps hot water circulating throughout your home so you use less power heating it,and it is hot on demand not 5 minutes after you turn it on.

How do you remove diesel from drinking water well?

If it is an small accidental amount it might be posible to remove it with absorbent socks available from west marine or anywhere that they sell contamination mitigation supplies. The well would have to be big enough in diameter to accept the sock and it would have to be something like a fuel can fell over in the pump house type of accident. This is not likely to remove 100% but a very high percentage can be recovered like that. If it is leaching into the well from some other source it is not likely that a long term permanent solution is viable. There are also enzimes avalable that can aid the process but once things are completed you would need to test the water.

What could be the cause of Codes P0102 and P0507 on a 2002 Saturn vue 3.0 V6?

the P0102 code relates to the Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor. The mass airflow sensor measures the speed and density of the air entering the intake manifold. The engine computer converts this input to a Mass of air per unit time to correctly fuel the engine. the code P0102 will set if the MAF sensor signal voltage is less then 0.20volts. Code P0507 is most likely a result of the faulty Mass air flow sensor. Code P0507 will set if the actual idle speed is greater then 200RPM from what the engine computer has commanded. Possible causes for this code: Vacuum leak

air induction tubing cracked or damaged

Engine Coolant Tempature sensor damaged. Being that 2 of the 3 possible causes are air flow related, I would start by replacing the MAF sensor, resetting the computer, and test run the vehicle for a few days to see if the code has returned.

What are the equipments which help drinking water from pollution?

Naturally, the equipment for helping water from pollution is the Water Cycle, which moves water or makes holo water, since holo means moving.

Without the moving water or holowater, the water is not structured and is chaotic and open to pollution from bad humans and even good humans who are not cognitive enough to care enough about preventing their part of the water pollution.

Therefore, such equipment is needed to be made by man to help man change the water back to holowater or structured water and away from pollution.

These equipments can be water vortex generators, resonance chamber frequency generators and even good intention and prayer such that produces holy water for many religions proving to be quite healthy and healing and free from pollution.

Learn more about structured or holo water and you will be surprised at what you find.

What are water quality standards?

The Australian Drinking Water Guidelines statr that societys drinking water must be safe for human consumption, as well as clear, colourless, well aerated and shouldn't have unpleasant tastes or odours.

Why does a highly turbid measurement indicated an unhealthy water system?

Turbidity is commonly caused by fine silt. The presence of silt indicates either inadequate filtering or post filtering contamination. Either way the water could be unsafe to drink. Another cause of turbidity is actual microbial growth, water with enough turbidity due to microbial growth to be detected is definitely unsafe to drink.

What could cause the water in a toilet to swirl but never go down when it is flushed?

Water in toilet won't go downSounds like it's clogged up. The water enters the toilet bowl on an angle, so it will always swirl because of that angle, but if it's not going down, there is a clog. If the water is rising in the bowl when flushed, the clog is worse. If the water goes down over a longer period of time the clog is less or "partial". Try using a plunger to push the obstruction down through the toilet. Sometimes an item (toothbrush, hairbrush, comb, etc.) lodged in the toilet "S" drain area will cause a partial clog. The water will go down slowly and a plunger won't seem to do the trick. In this case you may need to pull the obstruction back out into the bowl area of the toilet. You might be able to do this with a coat hanger that has the end bent into a hook shape. The worst case senario is when you have to remove the toilet from the floor, take it out in the back yard, and push the obstruction backwards from the bottom. For this a garden hose or a plumbing snake might be the tool of choice.

ANS 2 - Spring wound toilet cleaners may be necessary to remove a very stubborn obstruction in the bowl 'S' . I've seldom found coat hanger or similar wire to work as it will not bend around the 'S' . - Things as small as 'Q -tips' can be almost immovable without a very flexible spring wound cleaner. Things like that cause the paper to wad up firmly around them.

Is it true that fresh water exists in between salty water?

No way.... not possible, it has to be seprated with salty water, if u mix fresh water with the salty one the whole thing will become salty ........... dont u know ? when u mix salt in water the whole water gets salty.... but yea u can take out salt out of the water and make it fresh... the process in science known as "Distillation" to seprate salt from the water....

What should you use to remove calcium scale from well water that has built up inside a toilet drain?

we have drained some of the water from the toilet so that the scale is above water level. Spray the scale with vinegar, not balsamic, and sprinkle powdered borax and let it stand for a while. Then scrub the scaled surface with dry wall sanding cloth. I don't know the name, but you can get it at the hardware store. It looks woven, but suppose it is some kind of plastic. At any rate it doesn't harm the vitrious surface of the toilet. CLR usually works unless the stain is a stubborn rust stain. I have had luck using a Magic Eraser. You can buy one from the cleaning aisle in most stores.

What happens when drinking water get mixed with sewage?

it would taste pretty bad because the oxygen levels in the water would decrease making it less sterile to drink

Is it ok to have septic emty into creek?

NO. This is not OK, it's an environmental hazard and is not allowed in any municipality that I know of. Anyone who did this should know better. The septic waste water is supposed to go to a separation box and be separated into 2-6 pipes with holes in them which form the septic field. If more than a few people did this it would kill or severely damage any animal life in this creek.

Are detergents considered as water pollutant?

Detergents are not considered as water pollutants since the use of phosphates in detergents was outlawed.

I have a flat rubber roof is standing water harmful to it?

Rubber roofs aren't supposed to be entirely flat. They should have a slight slope towards a drain or towards the edge. I would wait until you get some leakage, than tear up and reconfigure the "slight slope" to permanently correct the problem. Modern rubber roofs usually have a foam board underlayment. If you can find a supplier, I believe you can order these sheets of foam designed specifically for your roof. These sheets will be graduated in different thicknesses and numbered to be applied in a specific order to obtain the proper slope for drainage on your particular roof.

What are some common methods for the internal control of cash?

An allowance.

Here are some additional controls

For Cash receipts

> Making all disbursements by cheque (other than petty cash)

> Keeping the Cheque book under lock and key.

> Sign checks only if adequate documentation is presented

> Have only higher-level personnel sign checks (neverthe bookkeeper!)

> Prepare bank reconciliations.

> Keep petty cash in a safe place.

> Execute Fidelity bonds on employees in positions of trust, such as book-keepers. (Fidelity bonds are insurance policy taken against the risk of dishonesty by employees.)

What is a water flood?

a water flood is when your house or part of the state you are in floods. a flood is when a huge wave of the water goes above the level it is supposed to it has to go somewhere so it goes on the ground and it keeps building up until all the sewers and draing systems can empty

Why is it important to protect water quality?

It is important to protect our water quality because it plays such a large part in our health, physiology, and lives. It affects our childrens health. It affects all of us. But before we can protect water quality we must first define the parameters of what exactly constitutes "quality" and what is and is not important in relation to the makeup of the water we ALL consume.

There has been little mainstream discussion of the effects of city tap water (for instance) and how it affects us over the long run, and what detrimental factors exist in our current drinking water.

One example is the pipes that bring us our tap water in our homes. It is important to ask these questions: How can this water harm us over time? What about the decaying state of 60 year old pipes (or older) that bring the water that comes out of our sinks? What about calcium deposits that can end up showing up in our bodies as tumors? What is in our water that is NOT supposed to be there, but is simply a byproduct of pollution or contamination (think urban runoff causing traces of antidepressants and other drugs to show up in our water) or the method of delivery to our homes (old pipes that add unintended elements to our water); not to mention that we consume tap water more than you might think: restaurants using tap water as a necessary ingredient in many foods; public water fountains; water used to make the coffee we drink; some of the icecubes we put in our drinks; water as a base for soda and tea; products we buy at the store that contain water, etc...)

The majority of those of us in America ( I can't speak for other countries, I've only lived here) do not seem to question where out water comes from and what we can do to improve its quality. Or questions like "is there really is a quality problem at all?" "Is it simply insignificant amounts of water pollution that will never really affect us in a significant way?"

I am not a scientist or researcher, so I don't know the answer to those questions. But if more people were simply ASKING the questions that we truly need clarification for, we might get those answers. If no one cares and no one is looking, ANYTHING could happen to the quality of our water either without our knowledge or without the knowledge of how serious this issue really is.
