I am moving into a home that uses a propane tank, it needs a new regulator, which regulator do I need?
midnight asked:
I’m not positive, but I believe the tank is a 120 gallon size tank. It supplies the energy for running my water heater and one large wall heater. I have been looking at regulators and I have no clue as to which one would be the appropriate and the safest type to get for this tank.
I’m not sure how much BTU it needs to be able to handle, or PSI, etc. I don’t know whether it needs a high pressure regulator (which seems more likely to me) or not.
I’ve done some extensive searching for this information and maybe I’m looking in the wrong places (apparently), but I can’t seem to find the information I need anywhere.
Any help?

is it safe to live in the basement with the gas water heater?
riddlemethis asked:
we (myself, hubby, and 3 month old) just moved into a basement (temporarly) of a home in Virginia. The gas tank/water heater is down in the basement with us. The gas tank runs constantly, never rests, and is in a closet, however, the door of the closet is a shutter door, so basically the gas tank ventilates by throwing the air back into the basement we live in.
Question is, is it safe to be breathing in that air?

melc185 asked:
I just gassed my car and decided to get it wash as well. I got home and realized that i had forgotten to put the cap back on and close it. Does this mean my car will stop/ruin the engine once all that gas is used up? because of all that water and soap?

Will taking salt water baths damage a home’s plumbing/septic system?
Okole asked:
Will regular (full) baths of very salty water (but less salty than sea water,) damage a home’s plumbing and septic system, even if lots of fresh water turned on right after the bath? Will salt water kill the bacteria in the septic tank?

100 g fish tank water changes in winter?
Crazyblue asked:
over the summer I got a 100 gallon fish tank. I also have a home made python that made water changes out the door a breeze. However, now it’s winter here and I can no longer open the door. I wanted to know how I could make these water changes without leaving my door open. I thought of buying a 55 gallon drum but after thinking of the weight of water I thought against it.
Now I’m thinking of maybe going with a 10 to 15 gallon container and just making 3 trips a week with that.
Yes, my fish tank is overcrowded. I have African’s and the tank is overstocked slightly to keep down the aggression. Everything is fine as long as I find a way to keep up with the water changes…
I use to change it 25% a week or if I missed a week I’d do a 50% change the following week.
Yes my tank is fully cycled. I didn’t know I could break up the 25% and do say, 5 gallons every other day.

Water evaporates quickly in my home. What could cause this?
Mayzie asked:
We have a fish tank, and a bowl of water with a floating candle in it. We have noticed that water evaporates quickly in our home, meaning the fishtank loses about 1/8th of its water and the bowl is dry about every 2 days. What could be causing this problem and is it dangerous?
Thanks

the hot water @ our vacation home smells bad (like sewerage) for the first few days we use it. Can it be fixed
jab446 asked:
the cold water is fine and after several loads of laundry the hot water starts to clear up. it’s an electric 40 gal heater that we leave shut off for months at a time. I think it is growing some kind of algae, but I am not sure how to flush the tank.
