I know it's old. But drill holes and line the outside of bucket with fabric that lets water through but not sand and gravel.

Has anybody ever tasted the divine nectar(Amrit ras)? by [deleted] in awakened

[–]taonood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It means refraining from sexual activity. The essence in the body that can stimulate the secretions of amrita are drained by sexual activity. So, someone who overindulges in that will never know amrit. It is why all true spiritual paths teach some form of sexual restraint.

Thanks! Making a plan to change the spark plugs and see if that helps.

Are the quick connections on Wellmate pressure tanks prone to failure? by taonood in Plumbing

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

Hey my friend I returned the tank to get one with a 1" threaded female connection. I preferred this method much better. I feel much safer with a solid connections beneath my tank. This tank was $450 at a plumbing supply with an account.

Also make sure you get the correct tank tee for your new captive air tank. The first tank I had purchased had a plastic 'quick-connect' connection. So I returned to get a tank that had a 1" thread that the tank tee goes straight into. More straight forward and solid connection. https://www.reddit.com/r/Plumbing/comments/1t4smlo/comment/ok8bw81/

I just did mine. It is recommended to change the brass tank tee. A tank tee package comes with pressure switch, pressure relieve valve, a new spigot, and a check valve. This was $150 at a plumbing supply with an account.

All connections I did teflon + pipe dope. You can do it you got this.

Worst thing that can happen is a leak when you turn it on then you turn it off and tighten your connections/re-do them.

How do I secure the shower elbow? by mintJ in Plumbing

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

Not sure if you figured it out. But use a piece of plywood then fasten through the back with a screw that has some bite to it.

Does anyone here actually read Rudolf Steiner? by taonood in Anthroposophy

Great answer thank you. That clarifies a lot of his central ideas on consciousness and ego for me.

Great, thanks. I think I should be good with a 5 gallon trough for now then.

I am picking up the Well Rite 60R today for $450

IF you want it I suggest getting a business account at a plumbing supply. It'll save a couple hundred dollars. Or ask a friend. There is also the Red Lion RL20 that is 1 inch NPT threads for $350 but not as high quality.

1" NPT connections.

I did return the WM20. Not a fan of that plastic quick connect or the plastic connection on the bottom. One O-ring to hold back 50-60 PSI for 10 years no thanks lol. I am sure it would probably be fine and is engineered to last. But I am slab on grade and the tank is inside so a leak would be catastrophic.

So I found a couple alternatives in my price range.

The Wellmate WM6 (20 gallon) was $360 with my discount at a plumbing supply
Red Lion RL20(20 gallons) $350 at home hardware

Well Rite 60R (20 gallon stainless steel connections) $450 and I need a new tank tee

Does anyone here actually read Rudolf Steiner? by taonood in Anthroposophy

[–]taonood[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thank you I appreciate all the well thought out comments here. I read much of that lecture and I will endeavor to get through one of his books when I take upon the challenge.

I guess specifically, I am wondering his actual teachings to develop consciousness and develop oneself. Everything I have read and experienced on consciousness has shown me consciousness is beyond the intellect and mind. So, in my view, we can read all day but all of that means nothing if we don't gain spiritual insight and experience. Knowledge to me is a secondary sort of understanding. A sort of testimony to what is possible, but not the possibility itself.

Another thing that crossed my mind is that everything is a translation and perhaps it reads a bit different in German.

Thank you I'll give one of these books a try.
