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!

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.

    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.

    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 :(

    • @owenperkins
      @owenperkins Місяць тому

      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.
