Septic Tank Care

Septic Tank Diagram   Maintaining your septic tank system can be as easy as 1-2-3: Use RID-X® Septic Tank System Treatment monthly - The product is available in three formulas: gelpacs, powder and liquid. All formulas will work to help reduce the rate of sludge build-up to keep your system running smoothly until the next pumping. RID-X® Septic Tank System Treatment contains billions of bacteria and enzymes specifically selected to be the best at digesting septic system waste. RID-X® also contains cellulase, the only enzyme that will digest paper waste. RID-X® liquid can also be used to help keep drains running smoothly.      2. Have your septic system inspected and pumped regularly - Sludge in large quantities can be eliminated by only a professional pumper. You should have a pumper inspect your system to determine if the accumulation of solid waste is too high and needs to be removed. You should not inspect the tank yourself since the gasses that accumulate in the tank can be lethal. This should be done every 2 - 3 years.      3. Watch what you pour down the drains - The eco-system of the septic tank is very delicate. Some household chemicals like bleach and anti-bacterial soaps can kill beneficial bacteria, so you should avoid flushing them down your drains. Finally, make sure that you monitor how much water enters your septic system each day.

The Ice Box

A:  Thomas Moore invented the icebox in 1800.

Before the invention of the refrigerator, in 1800, a fresh chicken would spoil in just four hours in the summertime. Milk would spoil even faster.

People knew that you could stop all this spoiling if food was kept cold, but ice was very expensive. It came in large pieces, and nobody had yet figured out how to use it in the home.

Then a man named Thomas Moore got an idea. He took the big wooden tub that was the family bathtub and put a metal box in the center of it. In the box was a chicken and some milk. He filled the tub with ice so that the tin box was completely covered.

Then he took a blanket of rabbit skins and covered the tub, ice, and tin box. The purpose of the blanket was to keep the ice from melting too fast. If the ice lasted several days, and the food didn’t spoil, he’d be on his way to solving the problem.

Several days later, the ice was still there, although some of it had melted, and the food was still fresh and unspoiled.

Three years later Thomas Moore was selling the first ice-box, which is just like a refrigerator except that instead of electricity, it used ice to do the cooling.

The term “refrigerator” was also coined by Thomas Moore.

The History of the Refrigerator and Freezers

Before mechanical refrigeration systems were introduced, people cooled their food with ice and snow, either found locally or brought down from the mountains. The first cellars were holes dug into the ground and lined with wood or straw and packed with snow and ice: this was the only means of refrigeration for most of history. 

Refrigeration is the process of removing heat from an enclosed space, or from a substance, to lower its temperature. A refrigerator uses the evaporation of a liquid to absorb heat. The liquid, or refrigerant, used in a refrigerator evaporates at an extremely low temperature, creating freezing temperatures inside the refrigerator. It's all based on the following physics: - a liquid is rapidly vaporized (through compression) - the quickly expanding vapor requires kinetic energy and draws the energy needed from the immediate area - which loses energy and becomes cooler. Cooling caused by the rapid expansion of gases is the primary means of refrigeration today.

Lawn Mower Maintenance

If you want your lawn mower to give you years of trouble free service, normal routine maintenance has to be done.  This includes the following:

• The oil and filter needs to be changed every 50 hours of use or once a year which ever comes first.  

•  The air filter needs to be checked every 25 hours of use or once a year and replaced if dirty.  

•  The spark plug should be inspected and cleaned every 50 hours. It should be replaced annually.  

• At the end of the mowing season the fuel tank should be completely drained of all fuel. (If fuel is left in the tank, fuel stabilizer needs to be added in order to preserve it.)

• This is also good time to clean under the mower deck and sharpen the mower blades. 

If you keep all of these steps in mind throughout the mowers usage, you will not only be ready for the next season, but the mower will be in good running order for years to come.
