4- To decorate and perfuming your bathroom at once Bring a glass jar and put out by a group shells and add a little water and drops of essential oil a favorite for you and so you made Burner appliances will pass effect for three days and you can strengthen smell the fragrance by adding hot water to the mix.Maintenance your homehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08898768156002429757noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5940060281604975461.post-31595107409769574432013-06-15T05:34:00.000-07:002013-06-20T11:34:33.399-07:00How to avoid frozen water pipes<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: red;">Frozen water in the pipes</span></span><br />Of the problems faced by people in countries with very cold weather to freezing in winter freeze the water in the pipes where lead to an explosion of those pipes that carry frozen water and thus will cost is repairing pipes or replaced altogether a lot of expenses and this is in addition to the disruption of access water to homes and other problems caused by the water flow stopped, and that may not necessarily relating to domestic use and that could have been avoided if been followed ways to solve the problem.<br />In the first step you can take to solve this problem, you must replace pipes that do not bear the pressure caused by freezing water somehow able to do so, and it depends on the material used in the manufacture of pipes, which must bear the pressure on the internal aspects of the pipes and in the next step should be pipes somewhere away from the cold as if they are under the earth's surface and in the post there must be a link between the weather forecast and supervisors to pump water to households who work in companies are working on a water pump in the event of arrest predicted freezing, the pump hot water if possible, and thus the possibility of burst pipes close to zero and the wearer can avoid maintenance costs that can be conducted after each incident freeze.</span>Maintenance your homehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08898768156002429757noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5940060281604975461.post-66263713477250684042013-06-14T06:20:00.000-07:002013-06-20T16:04:27.635-07:00Interior plumbing and sewage works<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;">Interior plumbing and sewage works</span></span><br />
<br />
First exchange purlins<br />
First must be equipped bathroom floor before making the exchange rate and that isolating well Lachish tar and mount it on the wall at 15 cm<br />
<br />
And If we inventory the existing bath we will find basin and tub and bath base, his hands and washing machine<br />
Exchange are grouped all of the basin and bathtub, bedet and washer on the ground and siphon Used pipe diameter is 1.5 inches and siphon ground distracted on the exchange Mounor column 3 inches in diameter and would prefer not to spend directly on<br />
Exchange column but by his elbow revealed door to easy wiring and maintenance<br />
And be Mkhrkh siphon terrestrial higher insulation to the floor bathroom and preferably work pod wall Illuminator to go through it outrigger exchange siphon floor for a column exchange and this bursa a piece of pipe thickness wider than outrigger exchange Siphon and length so that the display wall Illuminator and prominent 2 cm from the finishing wall Almnormen outside and inside the bathroom prominent Alhat the 2 x<br />
<br />
<br />
The base 4-inch pipe bathroom ceramic top 5-7 cm or 10 cm but preferably be from 5-7 cm<br />
To be a great tendency helps waste disposal<br />
And preferably also the work of the pod wall Illuminator exchange for al-Qaeda and also preferably not thrown on a column base exchange work directly but through his elbow revealed to the door wiring<br />
And the base of the bathroom are two types in terms of the exchange type is purely directly on the Illuminator called base toilet letter p and another kind is far from the wall Illuminator is purely on the outrigger 4 inch flooring until it reaches column work and does not prefer the use of this type in the upper floors, and when used out of necessity must be fall bathroom tile from 15 to 20 cm and 10 cm no because mile ink in this case must be 2 cm per meter<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Bathtub Exchange</span><br />
<br />
<br />
In exchange Bathtub preferably be Siphon Aosrvh place place accessible to him any to Siphon ICON next to the wall, if it is possible to facilitate maintenance thereafter preferably also use siphon copper and not plastic for durability<br />
And riding Bathtub himself Bmnsop of 35-40 cm of ceramic for easy entry and use<br />
<br />
For Panyu also take into account the presence of edges for the walls so that the edges inside the ceramic distance of 1-2 cm and Aabad for ceramic distance allows water to seep between the bathtub and ceramics<br />
Also preferably around the bathtub filled with sand soft clean liquid instead of mortar, because the sand can be pressed without leaving gaps and sand because water absorbs heat when you do not use the crack Bathtub body in the long term and also to easily change the bathtub when needed<br />
He notes that the top edges of the bathtub formation on the balance and not awry because the ground itself is designed Askew Bathtub<br />
After installation of the bathtub is sure to spend it when Siphon fill the bathtub with water and leave it on and see the link Siphon<br />
In the case of Asnamal Jacuzzi bathtubs and that Mathur circuit take into account the very existence of a party's legacy of electricity to leaking any electricity may occur for refused result Contactless the water<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Exchange bath tub</span><br />
Take into account that the level of exchange at 50 cm from the ceramic<br />
<br />
Well as washer Exchange 50 cm<br />
<br />
So there is to distract the bathroom directors to siphon flooring outlet plugged sink and bathtub Bidiyah and the washing machine and a way out of the base of the bathroom<br />
<br />
And shall be the focal points of purlins exchange floor at an angle 135 and not perpendicular or a sharp angle for easy exchange and the possibility of wiring<br />
When you install for flooring supplies to Ayuda mortar to contact places to while ensuring the safety of connections<br />
<br />
And then to make sure the seams are filled for water supplies and review places and repair the leak links if any<br />
<br />
Then cover the entire mortar pipes and filling all the openings with a cloth or burlap even to Aatserb impurities inside the pipes and this is very important<br />
<br />
And preferably have been the completion of routine business of conch bathroom ceiling and paint before work purlins exchange to reduce workers' incomes and broken pipes<br />
<br />
<br />
Either kitchen Exchange be separate because it is far from the bathroom and also take into account the work of the wall of the pod Exchange and kitchen Exchange 2 inches and distracted on the exchange column and preferably also by his elbow revealed door for maintenance<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Plumbing pipes of PVC and propylene<br />
<br />
Pipes the pvc, consisting of three elements, namely carbon nitrogen, chlorine<br />
<br />
There are kinds of pvc upvc cpvc<br />
<br />
The UPVC are the same as the PVC and the letter u explain it is to Dinh used in cold drinking water only and drain pipes of procedure where it to اتتحمل temperature<br />
As the cpvc indicates the letter c to where he is no chlorine higher density which gives it the highest heat resistance up to 103 degrees so used to drinking warm water pipes<br />
<br />
Overall, upvc used to exchange<br />
The feed water use cpvc or at least pvc<br />
These types used type of alkylation in connection parts and preferably warm for U.S. alkylation German<br />
<br />
<br />
There is another kind of expensive pipes in the price called propylene<br />
It is the best parts are assembled with special welding machine<br />
<br />
And take into account the formation of this bath oil pipes and not used flame<br />
And taken into account as well as when you connect these pipes to enter intoTail in the head, and we know by then pull out about 1 cm when pasting to exist Distance to expansion and contraction<br />

Ground water tanks<br />
Site requirements:<br />
To be far away as possible from all sources of pollution so that at least away from (10) meters from any source of pollution sources such as septic tanks and assembly or sanitation groves or manholes.<br />
That the location of the reservoir is low so as not to submerge rainwater laden dust, dirt and lead to contamination of water inside it, as it should be, up from the site groves exchange and allowing to be a direction of surface water from the reservoir to the Bayyara and not vice versa, must be level water storage tank Ground level higher than the sources of pollution, if any, including at least 50 cm.<br />
If the water level high ground Jovi exchange must be done on the ground around the water tank so as to prevent the nomination to the inside of the tank.<br />
Taken into account when creating ground water reservoirs to be adjacent to the extent possible to the entrance and in the case of Wall establish ground reservoirs within the construction of residential buildings shall be as close as possible to the entrance for easy filling or maintenance work is foreign to them.<br />
Insulation requirements <br />
Need to be walls and bottom ground reservoirs Court compact fully to prevent colds and so as not to be susceptible to contamination and that Ptlies bottom and walls of the reservoir from home and abroad Bljash cement with the addition of anti-nominated and required not to be a toxic substance and packaging the bottom and walls of the tank from the outside layers of insulation moisture horizontally and vertically.<br />
<br />
Way to protect a textured ground water tank insulation<br />
Account ground water tank capacity:<br />
Must be commensurate Water tank capacity ground with a number of apartments and the beneficiary population and enough population for a period of at least two days and are estimated based on the rate of at least 100 liters / capita / day and not less tank capacity for (10 m3), so note the following:<br />
In small enterprises (housing independent "villa" - a building consisting of two units, residential buildings not exceeding an area of buildings 500 m 2) is recommended to be tank capacity ground 12 m3 with the addition of 3 m3 per dwelling unit or per 150 m 2 of additional spaces of buildings.<br />
For large buildings:<br />
<br />
B - feeding tubes are designed on the basis that the speed of the water does not exceed 8 feet / s of the lists of water and 5 ft / s for sub-tubes.<br />
Capacity of the reservoir is estimated on the following basis:<br />
A - enough storage capacity for water supply for 3 days and for the consumption of the population.<br />
<br />
Based on that can determine the amount of water needed to fight the fire as follows:<br />
- The amount of water to be stored for a network, if any guns = (500 - 750) gallons / min for a period ranging from 30-60 minutes.<br />
- The required amount of water stored for fire hoses internal and external = 100 gallons / min for 30 minutes.<br />
C - ground tank capacity = the amount of water required for fire (guns + fire hoses) + the required amount of water for public consumption.<br />
Accessories that are mounted on ground water tank<br />
Ground water tank provides the following pipes:<br />
A - pipe feeding the reservoir from the public network and install a float valve.<br />
B - withdrawn pipe water from the reservoir by pumping set to lift the top of the tank and install lock valve.<br />
C - surplus pipe and exchange washing lines with lock valves with a note paint steel pipes adjacent to the textured water against rust and non-toxic.<br />
Ride the ventilation pipe (diameter about 2 inches) with a ceiling reservoir and Pkua to the bottom at the end of the wire mesh to prevent the entry of insects.<br />
Installed in ground water tanks ladders Bhari be resistant materials for steel and non-toxic to facilitate access to and out of the tanks to carry out maintenance work and periodic cleansing <br />
Implementation and testing requirements:<br />
<br />
Walls and floors coated with epoxy reservoirs or other materials used to prevent leakage of water.<br />
Placed water and insulation to prevent leakage breakers among all construction joints, as tightly plugged all the plumbing vents and openings used in the implementation.<br />
Establish a slab floor if they are located above the level of ground water by more than one meter on a layer of rubble المدكوك well, and put a layer anti-moisture, but if the slab floor is under attributed the expected water ground or close to it must cover the nave and all the faces of the external tank, including at least two layers of membranes saturated with asphalt.<br />
<br />
Are tested insulating layers of Interior in the tank after the end of implementation, before the outer insulation, backfilling and so fill the tank with water for 48 hours, and treat the causes of any leak or nominated prove its existence before starting the outer insulation and filling is then tested the outer insulation after its implementation and after emptying the tank of water completely and left to dry.<br />
Rubble:<br />
Used to backfill around the tank materials of the type of backfill construction (selected) according to standard specifications Arabia and classification of American specifications for roads) or equivalent, and is filling the layers does not exceed the thickness of each 20 cm, and is KD Each layer mechanically until the achievement of the density of not less than 95% of the density Great dry that the measured density way of a test proctor, as amended, and shall oversee the implementation of the process of filling a technical specialist with experience in this business, and must conduct all field tests necessary to make sure backfilling and recording quality results on a regular basis.<br />
Design requirements:<br />
You must consider the technical assets when designing concrete armed slab floor and walls of ground reservoirs and when implemented works sealant water between الصبات different especially among slab floor and walls, vertical and also care Compasses iron vertical walls and horizontal slab floor and walls, vertical even be performed properly and secure under the influence of loads expected reservoir during their working life, such as the horizontal soil pressure, water pressure and any other unexpected loads, taking into account the work of the bond between different Concrete and especially among the bottom and vertical walls.<br />
Are arming the walls and floor reservoirs nets the arm, prove by Aelchenakl and the chairs <br />
Reinforcing bars used with a diameter as small as 10 mm diameter, 12 mm 14 mm in the armed resistance to cracks.<br />
Provide ground reservoirs openings with lids of material cast iron shall comply with the Saudi standard No. (413/1985) and be kind of tight to prevent leakage of water into the tank with the installation of kink protection of material non-rust, corrosion and the need to raise the level of openings and lids on the level of reservoirs to avoid leakage of rain water or wash water into the reservoirs with protection and take precautions to ensure not to tamper with children or falling inside with committing engineering offices and advisory when preparing designs for water tanks ground to be sheeting own in accordance with the plans and designs its stomach and the accompanying Circular<br />
Care must design the tank Roof Tile ground under the influence of the expected loads such as the weight of the soil layers above, as well as any unexpected live loads.<br />
You must choose the path of the pipeline that feeds the reservoir floor of the public network as well as the pipes beyond him away from all potential sources of pollution and take the necessary precautions to isolate these pipes.<br />
That is the work of a small decline in parts of the reservoir measuring at least (50 cm x 50 cm) and depth (25 cm) in the area under the pipe to withdraw water from the reservoir.<br />
To work a little flair to the outside back of the roof of the tank for easy drainage.<br />
Supplying pumps attached to the tank room (if the water level) Chamber of assembling water leaking from links with dimensions of 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.35 m and provides a submersible water pump for dewatering these waters.<br />
Recommended paint the tank on the inside with certified proof for the formation of algae, bacteria and fungi inside the tank.<br />
Installation of stairs under the safety covers ground water reservoirs.<br />
<br />
<br />
Vertical sector in the ground water tank made of reinforced concrete<br />
Rebar detailing<br />
<br />
Periodic maintenance requirements:<br />
Repair ground reservoirs in case of any damage to them and address leaks if any leaks appeared empty the tank of water, dried, and make the necessary treatment to prevent water leakage.<br />
Care Balawamat and valves and fittings, cleaned and remove blockages from the salts, sediments and changed if damaged.<br />
Care tanks and sealed so difficult open Oalabt.<br />
Inspection and testing of pumps (parts of the transmission and motor control devices and electrical connections).<br />
In the case of whether the ground works a reservoir tank for fire water, it must provide a permanent source of water fire during the maintenance process.<br />
Oblige companies and institutions based maintenance work to secure the safety equipment for its members.<br />
Overhead water tanks<br />
Reservoir site requirements:<br />
Taken into account in choosing a place reservoir to be created in a safe position to take into account when designing columns installation or floors to be designed to withstand the loads that will be exposed her and does not entail the implementation of any damages to the safety of the building from the construction and taken into account in the design of the building, taking into account the loads additional arise of the building is equipped with water tank in the cases of filling and discharge.<br />
Take into account that the level of the bottom of the tanks at an altitude of at least 3 m on the roof top of the first beneficiary or at least 5 m on the highest level of health facilities and that this bottom rises from his roof rack 60 cm for easy installation and maintenance.<br />
The upper reservoir types in terms of material used:<br />
Steel tanks (steel tanks):<br />
And which shall be welds aspects and angles soft and buried Article core and all the bottoms links tablet at the same level within the board, and the inner surfaces were exposed to the foot of the sandstone (SAND BLAST) with Aadakhozanat stainless steel, with the need to paint tanks steel from abroad, two-sided textured weatherproof Steel and non-toxic oily three aspects Balboah, and are available in the reservoir property of non-leaching of its aspects and Hall.<br />
Tanks, glass fiber reinforced plastic<br />
FIBRE GLASS REINFORCED PLASTIC TANKS<br />
Water tanks made of reinforced concrete:<br />
Observed in the reservoirs created from reinforced concrete be concrete mixing identical to what came foundations of the design and conditions of implementation of reinforced concrete in buildings for the concrete is executing the water with the addition of a suitable material increase property concrete for non-water permeability and the proportions correct and take into account the use of vibrators, mechanical, and must be the inner surface smooth the tank, this is done by using the appropriate whiteness, preferably aspects cladding and internally Hall faience tiles are beveled edges, and in all cases there must be a non-leaching property of sides and the bottom of the tank.<br />
Insulation requirements:<br />
Insulation against water leakage:<br />
Shall take precautions previous to prevent water leakage.<br />
Insulation against heat and atmospheric changes:<br />
Shall enclose the reservoirs walls coverslip to protect it from atmospheric changes and leave space between the cabinets and walls of not less than 60 cm from each side, and in the case cover top of the tank should not be less than the distance between the top of the tank and the bottom of the ceiling of 80 cm with the need for the availability of slots proper ventilation around the reservoir, and in the If you do not enclose the reservoir Walls curtain should be available in its aspects and ceiling factors insulation adequate to prevent exposure of its contents to changes thermal disparate as stated booklet thermal insulation in buildings issued by the Deputy Ministry for Technical Affairs, also take into account the isolation of the piping on the exposed surfaces generally changes heat so as to prevent a large thermal changes in the contents, and this is done using the appropriate insulation materials and shoddy.<br />
The expense of upper water tank capacity:<br />
Determine the capacity of the reservoir on the basis of one-third of the daily consumption of units to be fed him taking into account the needs of each building fire.<br />
There are three ways to calculate the approximate upper water tank capacity illustrated as follows: -<br />
Basic rule:<br />
And depend on the calculation capacity of the reservoir on the basis of 30 times the disposal of the pump per minute, this theory allows storage capacity for a period of 30 minutes and in the case of power failure or sudden water cuts to the public network and this is true only in the case that electricity or water cut off and the water level at the top level of the reservoir, and in this case would run the pumps no more than twice per hour.<br />
Virtual method:<br />
And depends on the sole discretion of the amount of water needed in a time of emergency and the duration of the emergency period expected, which is equivalent of 30% to 40% of the total daily consumption in addition to the inventory appropriate to extinguish the fire, in addition to taking into account the economic aspects, such as the cost of establishing the reservoir and the reflection effect of weight on Origin concrete.<br />
Pump cycle:<br />
Determine the capacity of the tank so that it does not increase the number of times the pump at about 6 times and this means to operate the pump for five minutes and stand for five minutes, and the smaller the number of times the pump at less the rate of consumption of the engine as well as perform maintenance operations.<br />
Connections and accessories<br />
Each tank provides the feed pipe mounted on a low level of the roof space of not less than 25 cm.<br />
Provides each tank float diameter appropriately equipped with a valve on the pipe filling inflows to the reservoir to prevent high water level in the reservoir for the limit as a result of the possibility of high pressure water network degree above the level of filling due to the tank, and shall give a slot LED Tbarva equivalent to the disposal pipe filling that must to install the valve lock out the tank (valve can be dispensed with this buoy in the case of buildings higher than 30 meters), also take into account to provide each tank to feed the pipe diameter suitable building height of no less where it is given from the bottom of the tank about 10 cm.<br />
Equipped with tanks pipe surplus in diameter by 1 inch, at least for Qatar pipe filling in the nutritional status of the city network directly with the observation that when feeding reservoirs pumps water must be pipe surplus diameter suitable allows the discharge of water coming from the pumps, which under pressure as it is in this case will be water coming from the pipe filling under pressure while the pipe surplus operate under gravity and ride this pipe at the level above the level of the water surface design inside the tank distance 10 cm, and must relate to pipe surplus either tank ground to pour it or call indirectly point discharge suitable ground floor and in a visible place, including with him can observe this increase in order to avoid wasting water, and in all cases, you should not overflow pipes connection to the drainage pipes in any way, and prefers to devote a separate pipe to drain the surplus extends to the bottom of the building.<br />
<br />
Details of the upper reservoir connections<br />
Tanks must be equipped with pipe diameter suitable laundering at least (1) inch by capacity of the reservoirs.<br />
The reservoir, which provides more than 120 cm high external staircase to reach the surface and in the case of stairs inside the tank must be of a non-material steel, Gersama, wooden ramps can be used to moving to descend to the bottom of the tank from the inside.<br />
If you use more than the upper tank These tanks are connected to some through drag pipes or through poise pipes.<br />
Requirements for the design, implementation and maintenance:<br />
Keep paint the walls and floors of reservoirs on the inside with weatherproof be algae, fungi and bacteria, so after washing tank of chlorine, as well as after each cleaning process.<br />
Must be available in an insulating material reservoirs of water to prevent water infiltration from the reservoir and be Reservoir slot court so as not to allow the entry of dust and insects, rodents and weatherproof entry into force of the sun's rays.<br />
Provides each tank pipe Laundry diameter ranging between inch and 4 inches depending on the size of the tank and put the level of the tank bottom (floor) and reach a pipe surplus with the need to work stopcock it opens time washing only, and take into account when creating these reservoirs to be a bottom tilted towards the slot washing mentioned Askew 0.5 cm per meter at least.<br />
Each tank provides one or more pipe for ventilation related to the outside air penetrating the roof of the tank and ending inverted Pkua to balance the air pressure inside the tank preventing the Pressure and vacuum during filling and Altgreg and riding on the network mentioned elbow wire to prevent the entry of insects and exotic materials.<br />
Working roof tank slot or more dimensions suitable not less than 70 × 80 cm, to go down inside to clean and maintain, and have this slot tight lid, as there must be a vacuum bottom of the tank at least a height of about 60 cm for easy installation of pipe washing and maintenance of the tank and pipes and devices attached to it.<br />
Separate water tanks<br />
<br />
Separate reservoirs is an upper cabinets arise sites that contain a range of housing low-rises (the role or roles) and is intended to ensure the needs of water has an economic and efficient manner.<br />
Reservoir site requirements:<br />
Taken into account in the selection of the reservoir site to be extensions of the reservoir and from it far from sources of pollution.<br />
Must choose the site at the top of the tank at the site, taking into account the above.<br />
Must when choosing a place reservoir into account the circumstances of urban sprawl Active.<br />
Must choose the location and height of the tank to give a high water pressure of about (0.5 bar) to the top of the on-site facility.<br />
Reservoir construction materials:<br />
Prefers the use of reinforced concrete in such a case of the cheap cost and ability to make sizes in large tanks.<br />
Insulation requirements:<br />
That is isolated water pipes to and from the external tank against the sun, as well as isolate the walls of the tank.<br />
Openings should be covered upper reservoirs to prevent the sun's rays and dust from entering the tank and prevent the growth of algae.<br />
Water tank capacity account separate:<br />
The tank capacity is calculated separate water in the same way as the upper water tank in clause<br />
Are work landline tank add to the upper reservoir so that there is a fit between volumetric reservoirs to reduce the size of the upper reservoir, according to previous requirements.Maintenance your homehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08898768156002429757noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5940060281604975461.post-57656529556275302312013-06-10T10:08:00.001-07:002013-06-20T11:36:57.988-07:00 how to maintenance toilet damage<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">It is almost certainly helpful for you to begin by understanding
how your toilet works, and what its composing parts include. Pushing down the
toilet handle pulls a chain which releases the tank's flush valve. The valve
lifts up, uncovering a hole through which the water in the tank rapidly surges
down into the bowl. Once the tank is empty, the blush valve goes back to its
resting position in at the tank bottom.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; direction: ltr; line-height: 13.5pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 13.5pt; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">in order for effluent to be cleared from the bowl, large
quantities of speedy flowing water are needed to activate the siphon. This
siphon sucks everything down the drain. The filler float and water level in the
tank fall at the same time. When the filler float drops, it activates the replenish
valve. The tank and basin are filled by the water that comes through the replenish
valve. As the tank fills with water, the float rises. When it reaches the
proper level, it will deactivate the refill valve. If the refill valve fails to
deactivate, the overflow tube within the tank will drain off the excess water,
thus stopping any flooding that might occur. </span></div>

Check your toilets for leaks</span><br />Put
a little food coloring in your toilet tank. If, without flushing, the
color begins to appear in the bowl within 30 minutes, you have a leak
that should be repaired immediately. Most replacement parts are
inexpensive and easy to install.</b></span><span style="color: #cc6600; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>6. Put plastic bottles or float booster in your toilet tank</span><span style="color: #666699; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />To cut down on water waste, put an inch or two of sand or pebbles inside each of two plastic bottles to weigh them down. Fill the bottles with water, screw the lids on, and put them in your toilet tank, safely away from the operating mechanisms. Or, buy an inexpensive<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></b><span style="color: #666699; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">tank bank<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b>or float booster.</b><b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>This may save ten or more gallons of water per day.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br /><br />Be sure at least 3 gallons of water remain in the tank so it will flush properly. If there is not enough water to get a proper flush, users will hold the lever down too long or do multiple flushes to get rid of waste. Two flushings at 1.4 gallons is worse than a single 2.0 gallon flush. A better suggestion would be to buy an<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></b>adjustable toilet flapper<b>that allow for adjustment of their per flush use. Then the user can adjust the flush rate to the minimum per flush setting that achieves a single good flush each time.<br /><br />For new installations, consider buying "low flush" toilets, which use 1 to 2 gallons per flush instead of the usual 3 to 5 gallons.<br /><br /><span style="color: #339999;">Replacing an 18 liter per flush toilet with an ultra-low volume (ULV) 6 liter flush model represents a 70% savings in water flushed and will cut indoor water use by about 30%.</span></b></span><b><span style="color: #cc6600; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><br />7.

You'll get hot water faster plus avoid wasting water while it heats up.<br /><br /><span style="color: #cc6600;">8. Take shorter showers.</span><br />One way to cut down on water use is to turn off the shower after soaping up, then turn it back on to rinse. A four-minute shower uses approximately 20 to 40 gallons of water.<br /><br /><span style="color: #cc6600;">9. Turn off the water after you wet your toothbrush</span></b><b>There is no need to keep the water running while brushing your teeth. Just wet your brush and fill a glass for mouth rinsing.</b><b><br /><br /><span style="color: #cc6600;">10. Rinse your razor in the sink</span><br />Fill the sink with a few inches of warm water. This will rinse your razor just as well as running water, with far less waste of water.</b></span><span style="color: #cc6600; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b><b></b></span><span style="color: #cc6600; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: #cc6600; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>maintenance your</b></span></b></span> <span style="color: #cc6600; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>dishwasher</b></span><br /><span style="color: #cc6600; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>11. Use your dishwasher and clothes washer for only full loads<br /><span style="color: #666699;">Automatic dishwashers and clothes washers should be fully loaded for optimum water conservation. Most makers of dishwashing soap recomend not pre-rinsing dishes which is a big water savings.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br />With clothes washers, avoid the permanent press cycle, which uses an added 20 liters (5 gallons) for the extra rinse. For partial loads, adjust water levels to match the size of the load. Replace old clothes washers. New Energy Star rated washers use 35 - 50% less water and 50% less energy per load. If you're in the market for a new clothes washer, consider buying a water-saving<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></b><span style="color: #666699;">frontload washer<b>.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></b></span></span><b><span style="color: #cc6600; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><br />12. Minimize use of kitchen sink garbage disposal units<br /><span style="color: #666699;">In-sink 'garburators' require lots of water to operate properly, and also add considerably to the volume of solids in a septic tank which can lead to maintenance problems. Start a<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></b><span style="color: #666699; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">compost pile<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b>as an alternate method of disposing food waste.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></b></span><b><span style="color: #cc6600; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><br />13. When washing dishes by hand, don't leave the water running for rinsing<br /><span style="color: #666699;">If your have a double-basin, fill one with soapy water and one with rinse water. If you have a single-basin sink, gather washed dishes in a dish rack and rinse them with a spray device or a panful of hot water.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></b><span style="color: #cc6600; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666699;">Dual-swivel aerators</span><b><span style="color: #666699;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>are available to make this easier. If using a dishwasher, there is usually no need to pre-rinse the dishes.</span><br /><br />14.

Put a layer of mulch around trees and plants</b></span><b><span style="color: #666699; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />Mulch will slow evaporation of moisture while discouraging weed growth. Adding 2 - 4 inches of organic material such as compost or bark mulch will increase the ability of the soil to retain moisture. Press the mulch down around the dripline of each plant to form a slight depression which will prevent or minimize water runoff.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br />For information about different mulch materials and their best use,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></b><span style="color: #666699; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://maintenance20.blogspot.com/" style="text-decoration: underline;">click here</a><b>.</b></span><b><span style="color: #cc6600; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><br />18.

Water your lawn only when it needs it</span><span style="color: #666699; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />A good way to see if your lawn needs watering is to step on the grass If it springs back up when you move it doesn't need water If it stays flat the lawn is ready for watering Letting the grass grow taller (to 3") will also promote water retention in the soil<br />Most lawns only need about 1" of water each week During dry spells you can stop watering altogether and the lawn will go brown and dormant Once cooler weather arrives the morning dew and rainfall will bring the lawn back to its usual vigor This may result in a brown summer lawn but it saves a lot of water</span></b><span style="color: #cc6600; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /><br />20. Deep-soak your lawn</b></span><b><span style="color: #666699; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />When watering the lawn do it long enough for the moisture to soak down to the roots where it will do the most good A light sprinkling can evaporate quickly and tends to encourage shallow root systems Put an empty tuna can on your lawn when it's full you've watered about the right amount Visit our<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></b><span style="color: #666699; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">natural lawn care<b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>page for more information</b></span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><span style="color: #cc6600; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /><br />21.

Early watering and late watering, also reduce water loss to evaporation Watering early in the day is also the best defence against slugs and other garden pests.

<b>Leak Detection</b></div>

One method for locating leaks is to use dye (dark food color) in the water. This method works best if the leak is substantial. Observe location of dye leakage, using flashlight if needed, and proceed with repair.</div>
<div align="left" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
Another method is to let the water drop (with spa not running) and then observe the water level of the spa when the level ceases to drop. If the water stops dropping at a jet for example, that jet is the likely leak source.<br />
<br />
For faster leaks it may help to determine the type of leak: vessel leak (spa shell), suction-side leak (before pump) or pressure leak (after pump). Fill spa and mark the water level with grease pen or crayon, and allow the spa to run for 24 hours. Now mark the new water level to determine how much the water level has dropped. Refill to original mark, and keep system off for 24 hours. Again, note how far the water dropped. If the water dropped the same amount on both tests, this usually indicates a vessel leak (blisters and most surface cracks are usually only cosmetic, and not normally a cause for leaks). If the water dropped more with system running, this indicates a pressure leak. If the water dropped less with system running, this indicates a likely suction leak.</div>

A common area of hot tub leaks occurs where PVC fittings (couplings, elbows, tees, etc.) connect to spa flex pipe. These repairs used to require cutting out the affected pipe, and replacing the PVC fittings. Our new Clip-on Pipe Leak Seals now make these repairs simple, inexpensive, and very effective. A repair job that previously took an hour or more, can now be completed in a few minutes at a fraction of the cost.</div>

Most so-called shell leaks are actually leaks associated with jets or other fittings, not the shell itself. Today's hot tub shells are cast acrylic which has been vacuum formed and then reinforced on the underside with a thick layer of fiberglass. It is extremely strong. Even if the acrylic layer were to crack or blister, a water leak penetrating the fiberglass would be unusual.</div>

The most common problem with electric water heaters is turning the power on before the tank is completely full of water. If this happens, the upper heating element will burn out, and you’ll have no hot water (until the upper element is replaced). Once you've installed the water heater, open a hot-water faucet all the way and let the<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i style="font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit;">hot</i><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>water run for three minutes. This will ensure all of the air has been removed and the tank is completely full of water.</div>
<br />
<b style="font-style: normal; font-weight: 700;">Step 2</b><br />
<div style="color: #333333; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.9em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
If you don't have hot water after two hours, check to make sure the unit is getting the correct voltage. See the unit’s label for power requirements. No electric power or the wrong voltage causes many electric water heater problems. An electrician may be needed to solve wiring / power problems.</div>

When a toilet seat is worn out it can make for uncomfortable use. When a toilet seat is broken though, it can be dangerous to sit on, so should be replaced immediately. Fortunately, changing a toilet seat is one of the easiest repair jobs you can do in a bathroom - and has the potential to add a whole new look to your toilet.</div>

Buy a new toilet seat</h3>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; orphans: 2; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
The first step is to buy your new toilet seat. Since most toilets are rounded, you should have no problems finding one that fits and suits the rest of your bathroom, though if you have an elongated bowl, this may be a little trickier to do as you will need a different shaped seat. There are all sorts of different toilet seats available, so if you're feeling like a change of scenery this would be a very good opportunity to make a bit of a change!</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; orphans: 2; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; orphans: 2; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
Remove the old toilet seat</h3>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; orphans: 2; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
Next, check the nuts that hold your current seat in place. In most cases they are wing nuts which are easy to undo by hand, though you may need to apply some oil if the bolts are corroded. Older toilets may use regular nuts or worse, ones that are recessed. Use a wrench to undo them, or a deep socket wrench if a normal one won’t reach. Be careful here as with one slip of the wrench you may chip your toilet, or even completely break it!</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; orphans: 2; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
If you still can’t reach the nuts, you’ll need to cut through them with a hacksaw. Put tape down on the bowl anywhere you think the blade is likely to rub against and again, exercise extreme caution when using metal tools around porcelain. Once the bolts are removed, clean the area thoroughly and dispose of the old toilet seat, along with the old bolts. Most new toilet seats will come with new nuts and bolts.</div>

Attach the new toilet seat</h3>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; orphans: 2; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
Now, you should be free to mount the new seat. Match up the bolts with the holes and tighten the nuts. Be careful here not to over-tighten as you may want to remove the seat again someday. Check the lid and seat don’t wobble around when in any position, up or down, and adjust as necessary. Your new toilet seat is now ready to use.</div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><i><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"> how i do maintenance bathroom</span></span></i></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Regular<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>bathroom maintenance<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>is an essential part of housekeeping. Over the long run, this will save you a considerable amount of money as well, because you can avoid problems related to plumbing, leaks, mold and mildew. Some easy, but important tips for regular bathroom maintenance are listed below.</i></span><br />
<h4>
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>1 – Ensure that the Grout and Sealant are Intact</i></span></h4>
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>The grout and sealant around the tiles over a bathtub or in a shower cubicle require frequent inspection. Due to the constant exposure to heat, humidity and moisture, the grout often wears off or cracks. Make sure that the grout is intact and free from mold or mildew. To clean mold, mildew or grout stains, use oxygen bleach. If you find any evidence of missing grout, you must clean the area, dry it and apply new grout.</i></span><br />
<h4>
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>2 – Look for Leaking Spouts or Pipes</i></span></h4>
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Leaks around a pipe or spout must be remedied as soon as they are spotted. If left unattended, they could progressively become worse and cause problems such as moisture accumulation behind the walls and underneath the floor. Contact a plumber if you are unsure of the extent of the leak.</i></span><br />
<h4>
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>3 – Look for Signs of Leaks around the Bathtub and Toilet</i></span></h4>
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>The toilet and the bathtub must be securely caulked to the bathroom floor. Otherwise, these structures will leak water and cause problems later. Ensure that the toilet flush works properly and there are no signs of any blockages.</i></span><br />
<h4>
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>4 – Look for Signs of Rot or Decay</i></span></h4>
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Do a regular examination of the floor, wall and corners of the bathroom. Look for signs of dampness, wetness or rot on the surfaces. Any such problems must be remedied professionally.</i></span><br />
<h4>
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>5 – Ensure that there are no Loose Tiles</i></span></h4>
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>If you have a shower enclosure, make sure the tiles are all in place and caulked properly. Also ensure that there are no signs of shifting tiles on the wall or the floor. If you see any such signs, remove the tiles and install new ones or reinstall the same tiles. Reapply the grout after removing any debris between the tiles.</i></span><br />
<h4>
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>6 – Inspect Underneath the Sink</i></span></h4>
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Look underneath the sink to check for signs of leaks or moisture accumulation. Corroded pipes or cracks in the connections can cause leaks that can spread over to the wood under the counter. It can also damage the foundation. Replace any damaged pipes or connections promptly.</i></span><br />
<h4>
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>7 – Ensure that Drain Covers are in Place</i></span></h4>
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Drain covers are an important defense mechanism because they block the flow of hair, dirt and other particles that can cause blocks in drains. If you notice that the flow of water has slowed down, clean the drain if necessary and clean the covering grill.</i></span><br />
<h4>
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>8 – Clean the Bathroom Every Week</i></span></h4>
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Once a week, clean the bathtub or shower enclosure, toilet, wash basin, mirrors and the floor. While doing so, do a thorough inspection of all the nooks and corners. Wash the rugs before they accumulate too much dirt or moisture. Never leave moist clothes or rugs in the bathroom.</i></span></div>

4. Turn the cylinder of Freon, and open and shed on the root of coolant thermostats<br />
5. Examine the ends of thermostats:<br />
• If you gave the signal to be thermostats continued Atlan<br />
• If you do not give a signal be thermostats separator (ergonomics)<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Examination Rilah:</span><br />
<br />
1. Using Alawmmitr then scans the parties L, M:<br />
• If you do not give referring be Rilah to the Atlan and replaces<br />
2. Using Alawmmitr then scans the parties L, S:<br />
• In the normal position of the relay must not give a signal<br />
• Turn Rilah and examine the parties to the case did not give referring be Rilah to the Atlan and replaces<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Examination Alawvrlod</span>:<br />
<br />
1. Do bring Alawvrlod and preheat the metal plate and then inspect both sides Alawvrlod using Alawmmitr:<br />
• in the event gave the signal have conductive Alawvrlod (Atlan)<br />
• If you do not give a signal have separator Alawvrlod (ergonomics)<br />
• In case cool Alawvrlod must be connected between terminal<br />
<br />
• <span style="color: red;">examination Altaymr:</span><br />
<br />
1. Place Altaymr on the workbench<br />
2. Using Alawmmitr the Examine the four Altaymr parties (1.2.3.4) Note that the reading will be between 1.3 (ends Almattur)<br />
3. In If gave Alawmmitr the read (7-8 kilo ohms almost) be Ergonomics time engine<br />
4. Building on the type Altaymr and according to Figure 1 Line 1 is the protector and 3 line is the line (cold)<br />
5. Move column Altaymr with scorpions Asahlahaddat تكات:<br />
• in the event was much be in the rotation cycle of the compressor (connect between the dots 1.4)<br />
• in the event hear التكة the rapidly be in cycle Aldefrost (connection between points 1.2)<br />
6. When there is a full connection between the parties to be corrupted Altaymr<br />
7. When there is no connection between the parties to be corrupted Altaymr<br />
<br style="color: red;" />
<span style="color: red;">• Inspect propeller engine:</span><br />
<br />
1. Place the evaporator fan on the workbench Figure 2<br />
2. Parties arrived fan with Alawmmitr:<br />
• When there reading means that the a propeller engine sound file<br />
• When not having read the file is corrupted and replaced the fan<br />
• When there is read and not rev it shows that the rotor damaged chairs and change the fan<br />
<br />
• <span style="color: red;">Geyser examination:</span><br />
<br />
1. Place the heater on the workbench<br />
2. Using Alawmmitr the check between the parties to the heater.<br />
3. In If gave Alawmmitr the read be Geyser Ergonomics (each heater gives resistance reading by type and capacity)<br />
4. When there is no connection between the parties to be Geyser Geyser Atlan<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">• check Thermostat Aldefrost:</span><br />
<br />
1. Place Thermostat Aldefrost on the workbench<br />
2. Arrived ends of Albaamaitl with Alawmmitr:<br />
• When a read be Albaamaitl the Atlan and replaces بىخر the same type<br />

<br />
<br />
1. Bring the compressor and open the tray electrical connections<br />
2. No. Parties compressor numbers 1 2 3<br />
3. Using Alawmmitr select the amount of resistance between the parties 1 +2.1 +3.2 +3.<br />
4. Extrapolation of the results, we find that:<br />
• greater resistance to be between R + S<br />
• smaller resistance is among the R + C<br />
• Central resistance is among the S + C<br />
• Number of joint between the largest and smallest of the party resistance R<br />
• After selecting the party R is the second number in the largest party is resistant S<br />
• Automatically be the third number is the party C<br />
<br />
5. Reached an electrical circuit for the initial operation of the compressor as shown in Figure 1<br />
6. Press the bell for 1 second and record the following observations:<br />
• In the absence of rotation of the compressor within 10 seconds, it shows the Calendar files for combustion compressor<br />
• If the compressor house but does not continue to spin after the lifting of the pressure on the key bell, it shows that the rotation of the compressor files corrupted<br />
• If the compressor rotation and continue to rotate the compressor sound<br />
<br />

Installing ceramic tiles in bathrooms is a good choice since ceramic tiles are extremely durable, water-resistant, stain proof and scratch proof. It does not require too much upkeep and regular cleaning can make such flooring last for a long time. The best thing about ceramic tiles is that they are easy to install and are available in a wide variety of patterns and designs, shapes and sizes. This makes it easy for a homeowner to choose a pattern of ceramic tile that matches the bathroom décor.

Stone flooring is durable, low maintenance and gives the bathroom a very grand and luxurious look. Although most people tend to choose stones like marble and granite for flooring, it is not a very viable option because marble is highly porous which makes it prone to staining. Moreover such stones tend to be slippery which is a matter of concern. The best stone flooring for a bathroom is maturely textured stones like slate and travertine. Many home improvement stores have textured slate tile flooring that are just right for a bathroom. Another advantage of installing stone flooring is that it gives the bathroom a very earthy and natural ambiance.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 18px; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 18px; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;" /><b style="background-color: white; color: red; font-family: Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 18px; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">Vinyl Flooring</b><br style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 18px; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: black; display: inline ! important; float: none; font-family: Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 18px; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">Another good flooring for bathrooms is vinyl flooring. Vinyl flooring is available both in the form of sheet and tiles. They are water resistant and therefore works well for the bathroom. Vinyl flooring is available in a wide variety of finishes, colors, patterns and textures. The only disadvantage of vinyl flooring is that it is a soft material and therefore prone to scratches and tearing.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 18px; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 18px; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;" /><b style="background-color: white; color: red; font-family: Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 18px; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">Glass Tiles</b><br style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 18px; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: black; display: inline ! important; float: none; font-family: Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 18px; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">A popular flooring material for a bathroom is glass tiles. Glass tiles give the bathroom a very beautiful appearance and an airy feeling that is hard to replicate with any other type of flooring.

Concrete flooring is incredibly durable and all you need to do is to apply a proper sealant after it is installed. Many people consider concrete flooring unattractive, but by staining or painting over it, concrete can look quite good. You can even get a textured concrete flooring for your bathroom. Concrete is stain resistant, slip resistant and waterproof.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 18px; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 18px; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: black; display: inline ! important; float: none; font-family: Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 18px; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">Choosing bathroom flooring from so many options might seem confusing.

<span style="font-size: large;">Bathrooms usually have more than one plumbing fixture, and it’s inconvenient and expensive to run individual drain lines from each fixture to the house’s main sewer line. Instead, plumbers connect drain lines in the floor beneath the bathroom and install a common vent that allows water and waste to drain without forming an airlock. The toilet has the largest drainpipe, so the sink drain, which is smaller in diameter, will empty into the toilet drain line.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">B<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">athrooms usually have more than one plumbing fixture, and it’s inconvenient and expensive to run individual drain lines from each fixture to the house’s main sewer line. Instead, plumbers connect drain lines in the floor beneath the bathroom and install a common vent that allows water and waste to drain without forming an airlock. The toilet has the largest drainpipe, so the sink drain, which is smaller in diameter, will empty into the toilet drain line.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">1-Connect a 3-inch PVC closet bend to the bottom of the toilet flange located in the floor where the toilet will sit. A closet bend is sweeping 90-degree elbow that connects the flange to a 3-inch drainpipe that runs between the floor joists.

<span style="font-size: small;">2-Attach the open end of the closet bend to a horizontal 3-inch drainpipe. The drainpipe runs horizontally only until it can descend to connect with the house’s main sewer line. The pipe is not perfectly horizontal; it should slope at the approximate rate of 1/4 inch per lineal foot. More slope is not necessarily better since liquid can outrun waste, leaving it stuck in the drainpipe.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">1-Attach a 2-inch sink trap assembly to the bottom of the drain stub that extends from beneath the sink. This is a threaded connection, and the trap should come with two washers, one on each end that slip over the connecting pipes and tighten. Do not glue these connections.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">3-Install a 2-inch sanitary-T fitting in the stud space to connect the horizontal sink drainpipe to a vertical drainpipe. The vertical drainpipe serves two purposes; water drains downward, and the upper portion of the pipe ties into the house’s main vent stack. Without the upper vent portion of the pipe, water locks can form in the drain system. The sink vent serves both the sink and the toilet.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">4-Run the lower sink drainpipe, adding elbows or collar connections as needed to reach the 3-inch drainpipe that runs from the toilet. The configuration depends upon your bathroom layout and the direction of the floor joists, but connect the sink drain to the toilet drain within 6 feet of the toilet, if possible.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">1-Connect the sink drainpipe to the toilet drainpipe using a 2-inch-to-3-inch sweeping-Y connector. The sink drain should enter the toilet drain from above, and the 2-inch opening for the sink drain should extend upward from the 3-inch horizontal drainpipe to prevent backflow issues.</span></div>
