Replacing a Slow Tub Filler with a "Fire Hydrant"!
Переглядів 2913 місяці тому
After living for several years with a faucet that took an entire 20 minutes to fill the bathtub (#firstworldproblems) a stay at a high-end hotel with a ridiculously high-volume tub filler prompted me to replace mine. This one from Newport Brass is rated at 22gpm and fills the tub in 4 minutes!
Central Vacuum Glues Itself To The Wall!

As a teenager, during the first year or two of my vacuum store career, the Royal Power Tank was still available, and I sold a handful of them. One of the demonstrations to show the amount of suction this machine had was to remove the front end bell, turn the unit on, and stick it to a wall, where it would hang indefinitely. I discovered in my parents' basement that this would also work with a c...

Love this video
Got the exact same problem. I just cut a hole n my basement pipe just like u got. I’m nervous on it blowing up now the pipe. At this point oh well. I flooded my basement alittle so I must not have enough pressure going through it to swell the bladder enough. I’m going full bore after it clears. lol. Wish me luck. God bless
Is it hard for the melamine cabinets on the side? I mean, the steam that comes out when you open the door after the cycle? Do we have to put a supplement protection to avoid it to suck the steam and be ruin?
I have a 505 also I love it and use it every day. I have had it for 10 years and the only problem I have had is it did not come with a shear pin and I use a penny I cut to fit bit it only lasts about a year. Otherwise it's a great conversation piece and my friends think I'm crazy 🤣
How about that! Never seen one like this before! Thanks for sharing!
The first 😊😊v cool 😮😊😊😊😊😊x😊occ CBC😅😮😅po😮😅😅😅ppppp😅😅😅pppp😅😅pppppppppppppppppp😮pp😅😮😅😅😅😅😅
Yay green mean good
My fave childhood toy 😢❤ had great memories with this flower pot! 🥹🌻🌸🌺
Wow that is quite a collection. I had 2 I wish I still had them. I am looking online now to purchase another one.
I had to fix a service main line that was ran in pvc because it was leaking and turned the dirt into mud and the ground was shifting and breaking the concrete sidewalk overtime. That was fun
Can anyone share the name or actual name of md central vacuum? I can't find it online.
@@miguelteran-raful2718 MD Vacuum's website is www.builtinvacuum.com. Their name (and the original Modern Day brand) is a play on the last name of the company's founder, "Emdy".
Hi Owen - I have an almost identical TUEC model - do these things have any value?
The way that thing was rumbling it sounds like it’s running out of balance or the bearings in the motor and or the blower are failing.
Those patent dates are so cool. '95, '98, '03. Of course my mind goes to 1995, 1998 and 2003, but obviously it means 1895, 1898 and 1903.
I miss older beam... back when they were somewhat decent
@@almightyian They were hitting their stride in the 1990s. The filtration design isn't my favorite but they had good quality products and great dealer support. It all spiraled down after they sold to Electrolux.
I’m sick of this. I have central vac and it keeps breaking down, I bought an iRobot vac and it can’t find its way to the charging station, I bought hand vacs and they suck. Apart from that they all take up space. How about throwing away the dirty carpets and buy a broom and dust pan.
Oh nice one Owen , I suppose being in a basement it didnt matter but I bet it didnt half reverb when switched on , Hope all good with you , ChesterMikeUK
We have what looks like the same exact unit in our house. Any idea where we could find replacement inlet caps? (If that’s what they are called) We are missing most of them :(
The exact inlet caps are going to be quite difficult to find, as they have not been made in 100 years. I have used Spencer Turbine inlets (round) and modern residential central vac inlets (rectangular) at different times. Both might require a little careful surgery but this can usually be done in a way that the inlet plate covers it.
@owenperkins thanks we just posted a video on our channel if you're interested in seeing it our top ten house features. Thanks for the info
Whats the best motor for a central vacuum like induction motor and dc
That's an odd looking central vac (although to be fair there's lots of those out there).
Amtrakpepsi you know that ain't no central vac!
The house those pumps were in had a Black & Decker system.
@@owenperkins interesting...
I use the same method. Just let the tank drain on each zone
My moms mom's house has the red and white Dual Motor Walvac I went up to clean the bedroom carpet with Sebo Duo P powder it had not been used for a couple years up to that point but all Had to do was change the bag in the canister and use my newer power brush with the hose it was awesome and very powerful my brother who lives there now told me hes even starting to slightly like the system because he saw what it did for the carpet this walvac put his dyson ball to shame so badly its a awesome machine im a huge fan of central vacs!!
If I could have any vacuum it would be this one
I'm thinking it is expensive yes, but I'm sure the planet will recycle the water once it leaves the home?
It sounds like a motorcycle
I got goosebumps from this! This sounds like some very old car wash dryers. Takes time to ramp up the rpm and same pitch.
World’s first smart central vacuum
Very cool
Im a landscaper and sprinkler tech, love me a good broken sprinkler head
Is this not obvious?
The motor must've used an ac induction motor
If it wasn't for the grass that'd be quicksand
“Yea, she don’t look to good, I can get you another one at half off there bud.”
5:13 , 5:29 that motor is powerful
Terrible location for a sprinkler
Is that a customer's house?
I'm in the middle of ,sprinkler replacement. Sprayers coming out, rainbirds,going in! Pain in the ass.
Shut the damn water off !! 😂
Since the beginning of time there have been broken sprinkler heads...
Silly to install it near the edge of the grass. Also should of turned the stopcock off straight away.
Stopcock sounds like a feminist organization 😂
Now, show us a video of yourself identifying a gum stain on the sidewalk. That will equally entertain us.
A genius really!
That's some good grass
All grass does that
By the location it probably got ran over
Been there done that
Hi Owen! I have a pristine TUEC central vac from a home built in 1917. It’s rated at 190. Curious if there is any market for them and you appear to be THE expert in vintage central vacs.
I have a Tuac Model 190 if anyone is interested.
Owen, what unit is in this house?
Who did it turn on
Owen, that was really interesting. I never knew a central vac could have so many uses. Definitely some creative promotion.
