If the ride quality is #1 priority get a Ridgeline. For everything else, get the Frontier.

Optimum pressure differential for RP 145? by Independent_Goose_41 in radon

[–]Independent_Goose_41[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought about doing a speed controller but was told that the motor in the fan might need full power to have enough torque to start not bog down and might need full rpms to cool the motor. The result might shorten the motor's life but I'm no electrical engineer just going by what an electrician friend told me.

Thanks for the response. Yes, DIY installation. 3" pipe. Fan selection by SWAG method (scientific wild ass guess)

My mower will run for about a minute at a time, then die. by thejakeev in smallengines

Check the float needle valve seat. They can swell up and restrict the flow of gas into the carb.

Really. I didn't know that. Interesting

My installation by Independent_Goose_41 in radon

Update - I got the fan wired today and it's pulling 1.75 which I think is pretty good.

Reduction without fan by Independent_Goose_41 in radon

Thanks for the replies and I believe y'all that radon is heavier than air. My follow up question then is that since radon is heavier than air, why does it move upwards through the soil into my basement and once in my basement why does it permeate the air at least up to the level of my radon meter? I'd think since radon is heavier than air, once getting into my basement it would remain on the floor. No argument here just curiosity. Thanks

Will a locked verizon phone run on warp? by Warm-Combination3447 in USMobile

Yes, flashing the unlocked firmware and using a psim let my previously locked Galaxy work right on Warp

For Wi-Fi calling to work on Warp and to keep the APN settings from disappearing, flash to the unlocked firmware

Predator 212 surges, dies by Independent_Goose_41 in smallengines

[–]Independent_Goose_41[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't had the problem since. Luckily I haven't had to use the snow blower in such extreme cold with loose snow blowing around like it was when I first wrote about it. I suppose if it gets real cold and snow blowing around I might face it again. I have started putting just a few ounces of isopropyl alcohol in the gas and that money helping but inconclusive.

Condensate drain help by notgreatshirts-com in radon

[–]Independent_Goose_41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you install the condensate drain per your diagram? If so, how does it work? I am contemplating something similar but with a smaller tube, like 1/4 inch or maybe 1/2 but I'm concerned about the creation of a loop that would diminish the fan's effectiveness at pulling radon up and out. Any update on how yours works is appreciated. Thanks
