Do you mean that the detergent tank is after the pump?

 

Even on this model? https://www.kaercher.com/my/home-garden/pressure-washers/k-2-360-16016860.html

If your spray lance has a low pressure mixing position that initiates injection then its almost certain chemicals are drawn in after the pump using the built in suction tube or tank. The operating manual should give a clue.

Bump!

 

I'm still curious as to what I can use as detergent for my pressure washer...

I use Makro liquid soap in the pressure washer to clean trucks and dirt bike. Most washers inject downstream through a venturi that begins working when you lower spray nozzle pressure so no worry about pump damage. Do not use chemicals on the pump inlet side unless absolutely sure they are pump safe.

I know this is an old topic but found it useful and shall tell you what I think having just bought a welder. 

 

I bought an Arc (Stick) welder after watching ChuckE2009 as recommended by "Impulse" on this thread and seeing that most Thais only use Arc (Stick)

But if you were doing mostly mild steel frame and tube work in the shop you would have chosen a Mig or a dual purpose Mig/MMA right?

Don't really need a sponsor pimp like ChuckE2009 to make the decision when tomorrow he be screaming MILLER MIG MIG MIG.

Most down in Soi Thai shops use basic stick and sun glasses for everything. Construction workers use the same but with much less refined strike and blob technique.

Not so much factory service....just technicians that know how to order/get parts from the manufacturer/service center.

 

Here in Thailand that may mean needing to order the part from the service center which may be located in Bangkok.

The AC parts delivery network is a well oiled machine in LOS. Not much waiting if its a popular brand.

Thanks for your comment.

 

No it quite simple. I have three main fuses for aircons on each of the three phases (L1, L2, L3), and each has an automatic Over-voltage/Under-voltage protection with a connected on/off magnetic relay (due to higher power consumption that the internal voltage-protector switch safely can handle). In case of voltage problem the aircons on the single phase with a problem are switched off for a preset number of minutes, selective from 1 to 5 minutes.

 

Very useful when living in an area with "iffy power, lots of brown outs or lightning surges"...

 

Furthermore each aircon has it's own fuse/circuit breaker, as I have 7 aircons in total; if you have 3 aircons (or less) of course no additional fuses are necessary.

? 

Its good to auto disconnect bad power as long as its set to sensible limits and existing equipment protection has been considered.

Most inverter ACs will detect out of range input voltage in their early stages and most have a decent operating range.

If you want to protect from transient voltage surges you will require something a lot faster than over/under relays.

EDIT: And I'm in an area with "iffy power, lots of brown outs or lightning surges", but I have Over-voltage/Under-voltage protection switches on the main aircon power groups...?

What are the under/over voltage protection switches on AC power groups? Sounds complex.

With an inverter AC it's a different case as they just run slower rather than switch off, but I don't know if at the slower speed they are still dehumidifying, if they don't then the recommendation would be the same "never oversize your AC"

The compressor variable speed motor adjusts refrigerant flow in an attempt to bring output in line with demand. Condensation will continue to form on the evaporator and reduce humidity.

Why? All I read says that is a waste of money and lowers the comfort level due to humidity build up.

Not so important with inverter AC's.

Without getting into the looks, noise and speed control etc. to which there is no argument, the payback period for power saved using  DC unit would take years to recoup against a quality AC unit.

So are they  a better proposition, debatable for  domestic situation. 

Apparently they use around 1/10 of the electricity that an AC fan consumes which I guess is for equal air movement. Now that's a lot of saving and has that real Indiegogo physics bending feel about it. If true, these Mr Ken guys should get into the jet engine business and make some real coin.

dowry is all a saving face exercise for the family. tell them you will pay it but give it back for your family. if they do this you know they are solid. 

 

current rates:

- bar girl / farmer: 50k to 100k

- university graduate from region: 150k

- high class university/ general bachelor degree education maybe 200k

- medical professional / dentist: 500k upwards

 

good luck

Is there not a place where people can take their daughter for expert valuation and obtain approved document. I imagine this to be like jewellery valuation where the beautifully designed pieces have added value.

Sleeping in a campervan in the Thai climate strikes me as the same weight reduction strategy used by jockeys.

 

Yes it is and quickly realised by those coming down from the cold north. Most hit the tent or cheap accommodation while in this region.

My friend converted a military ambulance. However, I think driving a motor vehicle  in and out of  Thailand might be impossible 

Why impossible, thousands do it each year. Friend of friend made the Thailand Laos China  crossing both ways  in a French registered Land Cruiser last year no problems.

The Nanny State Control Freaks are loose here these days. We fit in with Thai Ways. Westerners are bloody useless drivers in general here.They know the safety side is bad, in all aspects,yet drive as if there in their homeland. Fit in, shut up, and enjoy being here.Or at least just moan about the awfull Hotel Breakfast Buffets like i do..

Anyone if the preparation is good.
