I used 3/8" line feeding the fridge's due to my RO system is in my basement along with my pressure tank. I have about 15' of line going to each fridge and it works flawlessly.

For my basement fridge this was the case as well. I just gutted everything and put in a quick connect fitting for ice maker/water dispenser. Removing the factory filter also freed up room in my fridge. For someone who can rebuild coffee grinders/mixers in your sleep this should be a piece of...

This Video should help you out. The pressure in the tank should be around 5 to 7 psi. I ditched those small expensive filters that come with the refrigerator for a full size one that services both my refrigerators.

I'm not sure what "coffee machine" that you are having issues with but for my superautomatic when I was running oily beans thru it it created havic by plugging up the machine where I was getting poor flow. Cleaning the machine only improved marginally, the real fix was when I removed the...

I should have added my untreated water TDS is 135, RO water TDS is 3. I also sanatize my RO system once per year along with replacing the filters. I get around 3 years on my RO membranes. I use Bulk Reef Supply for my system/filters which caters to the aquarium crowd.

I have an RO system that feeds my refrigerators and for brewing beer consisting of a sediment filter, 5 micron carbon block, RO membranes, and a 1 micron carbon block only after the 4 gallon pressure tank for post taste filtering. For brewing beer, I strip all the minerals out of the water to...

Below are some pictures of my Jockey Box build using Perlick taps, EVA barrier tubing, and a "conventional" gas splitter. Edit: I used SS Nuataps not Perlick.

I dispose my used car fluids at my local Autozone or O'Rileys for free.

I am the opposite, I will do my own auto maintenance until I can no longer can drive. I learned to do maintenance from my Dad, although I work as an Electrical Engineer, maintenance will always be in my blood. I had a discussion at work 40 years ago with a co-worker who questioned why I bother...

It's not dumb if you were able to learn from your mistake(s). I consider dumb if one made the same mistake more than once.

With a cost of only $2.50 to charge your EV, would make it difficult to justify investing in a solar system to charge your car. It's a matter of time before Illinois jacks up the cost of EV plates. I work in the power plant industry and they like to see the sales of EV's, more electricity to sell.

My cold water experience may have come from laying on my front porch unconscious in a short sleeve shirt in 18 Deg. F weather for an undetermined amount of time. I suspect that I my have been unconscious for 40 minutes, unfortunately your brain looses track of time when unconscious...

I have no plans on doing a Polar Plunge anytime soon.🐻‍❄️ Shoveling the snow in a short sleeve shirt/no gloves in sub zero weather was a test to determine how my brain would react to freezing weather conditions. Knowing that my brain can detect the symptoms of extreem cold (numbness of my...

I was wondering the same, I was in Houston in Feburary for work but it snowed 3" so I haven't experienced hot weather yet. I also "react" to touching a hot pan that was on the stove. I do "feel" the cold weather as I can tell by breathing in the cold air and my arms/hands feel like they have...

Early this year I slipped and fell (due to ice) on my front porch which caused me to sustain a concusion. Afterwards I am no longer effected by cold weather, I don't shiver or have goose bumps when outside in sub zero weather in a short sleeve shirt. My fingers do start to go numb after about 5...
