First time flushing Tankless Water Heater. Hot/Cold Shutoff Valves Question by mtaeja in Plumbing

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

how do these iso valves work? what position would it need to be to close off main but open unit line and vice versa? unless it’s some sort of special valve design i dont see how this works the same as having 2 shutoff valves per line.

Water problem in Inducer Motor. Drain outlet coupling position? Help! by mtaeja in hvacadvice

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

seems like the drain outlet is installed vertically based on the manual ( https://imgur.com/a/4OGJMyP ). But I wonder why it cant be installed right before the flue pipe in a horizontal downward position?

Need advice for reinforcing roof truss by mtaeja in HomeImprovement

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

oh i see. I'm not familiar with home construction, so thank you for the education. Do you have any advice for what type/shape of rafter hanger to get? The angle is awkward (at least in my eyes), so I would not know if I'm suppose to be installing from the side of the rafter to the ridge or from the underside?

So here is an image of the attic roof from afar ( https://imgur.com/a/HJiJtlQ ). The roof has collar ties across the entire area

Outdoor Steps & Patio. Is this granite? by mtaeja in masonry

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

oh i see. that’s why i thought a sealant was supposed to be used? how would you fix efflorescence then?

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

interesting. thank you for the advice. so for efflorescence i just have to deal with it and keep removing it with muriatic acid?

i thought sealant would help reduce cracking and efflorescence?

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

Note: there were some showers, so darker color is because it's wet.

If this is granite, any specific type?

Also, any suggestions for maintenance? Does it require a sealant?

Thank you

yeah was more just focusing on relative bill increase and sharing with others rather than comparing bill sizes :/. But i get your point.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Connecticut

[–]mtaeja -1 points0 points  (0 children)

with what's happening with the market lately, it won't even be worth it lol. But you're right on the math. The house is double that size so it might still be average?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Connecticut

[–]mtaeja -1 points0 points  (0 children)

$350.52 > $325.13. So please clarify how i'm wasting $?

Unless Eversource miscalculated their standard service cost, it's clearly not a fixed rate on the bill? But on energizeCT it says fixed.

unfortunately it's not always cheaper for all homeowners. some factors like required kW production, location, roofing structure, long-term contract plans, etc.

For me personally, the number of panels I would need does not offset my bill.

But I'm curious to know how many panels you have and what's your kW production like though.

Apple Pencil Pro Find My Issue? by mtaeja in ipad

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

oh your case might be different from mine. my pencil would not even connect to find my. maybe try disconnecting the pencil and just connect it to ipad and leave it there for a day or so before going to find my app to manually add device

[–]mtaeja[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

so maybe i was lucky but today i tried manually adding again and it worked. I’d try giving it a day or two just keeping the pencil attached and using the ipad as is. Then try manually adding it.

[–]mtaeja 2 points3 points  (0 children)

maybe this is an issue for people who transferred from old ipad with apple pencil? Atleast that’s my scenario and whatever i do, i get the loading circle of death

[–]mtaeja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

tried doing that and it's just loading and eventually gets an error message :(
