Uses for Gasoline Pressure Washers

           A gasoline pressure washer is perfect for cleaning large areas quickly. The high power of gasoline pressure washers makes them perfect for big jobs. These same properties also make gasoline pressure washers perfect for cleaning heavy stains.

         At its simplest, a pressure washer is a powered pump that delivers pressurized water to a user-controlled nozzle. Pressure washers are rated by pressure (pounds per square inch: PSI) and flow rate (gallons per minute: GPM). The power of a pressure washer is measure in cleaning units (CU). CU is calculated by multiplying PSI by GPM. A higher CU indicates more cleaning power.

Make Short Work of Tough Jobs

           The high pressure that Gasoline pressure washers can deliver is great for stripping paint from hard surfaces like asphalt or concrete.

         A gasoline pressure washer may be your only choice for remote cleaning jobs like a dock or out building. Electric pressure washers are only effective up to about 100’ from the nearest outlet.

The Gasoline Advantage

         Power is the key benefit gasoline pressure washers provide. A high-pressure gasoline pressure washer can deliver 3000 PSI or more at about a third of the price of a similarly rated electric pressure washer.

        Portability is another advantage that has to go to the gasoline pressure washer. In a remote use scenario, a gasoline pressure washer may be your only choice.

On The Other Hand…

         Like all gas-powered tools, a gasoline pressure washer can be loud and generates noxious exhaust. This rules a gasoline pressure washer out for indoor applications.

         Gasoline pressure washers also cost more to operate and have higher maintenance requirements than electric pressure washers

Caring for Patio Umbrellas – Plus win a High Pressure Washer

Caring for Patio Umbrellas – Plus win a High Pressure Washer

Patio Umbrellas can be a lasting investment for years to come, offering shade and comfort for your friends and family. But to ensure their long life, you need to know how to look after them….. 

With the heat and humidity that summer often brings, that beautiful umbrella that once served as an oasis can eventually grow grungy, becoming more of a health hazard than a heaven from the heat. And when bacteria and other bad items discolour your umbrella, it won’t be gathering much else but germs.

However: with the proper care, your patio umbrella will be a sound investment for years to come. Unlike other patio furniture, umbrellas take special care and understanding when approaching their needs.

Because there are more mechanical parts involved (not mentioning a bigger canopy area), it takes more than a hose and a brush to clean your umbrella off. With the right know how, you too can guarantee your umbrella will be a welcome escape all season long.

Different parts of your patio umbrella need separate care

The main key of keeping your patio umbrella clean is in knowing how all the pieces work together. This can be broken down into two components: the canopy, which is the cloth top that casts shade on your family and friends, and the frame, which opens and closes the canopy.

The frame consists of all the working mechanical parts of your umbrella, including the vertical pole, runner hub, top hub, ribs, and finial. Each of these pieces serves a critical part – and if not taken care of properly, can result in damage or malfunction in your patio umbrella.

Most patio umbrellas can be cleaned with mild soap and water

Most patio umbrellas (including those made of wood) can be cleaned with a little mild soap, water, and some good scrubbing. Always use a mild soap in the cleaning process – using an abrasive cleaner can wear down the finish of your umbrella, significantly decreasing the life of your umbrella.

Use the mixture of mild soap and warm water soaked into an old washcloth to scrub away the dirt and debris from the frame of your patio table. Keep the frame in the open position as it dries, as to make sure all mechanical parts get completely dry, and not rusted over due to a moisture build-up.

You can do this as often as your umbrella demands: if you live in an area with lots of dust and pollen, this could be recommended often during the summer months.

Wood patio umbrellas can be refinished

For those of you with a wood patio umbrella, you always have the option of refinishing your umbrella if the elements are just too much on it over time. While the refinishing process is relatively simple, making sure your umbrella works afterwards is not.

Never attempt to refinish your wood umbrella without taking all the pieces apart first – by not doing this step, you will be asking for more trouble down the line, as the finish could cause your frame to seal together. This will result in a patio umbrella that is better used as firewood during the summer nights, rather than shade during the summer days.

Cleaning the canopy of your patio umbrella

Cleaning the canopy is a much easier prospect than cleaning the frame of your patio umbrella. For most canopy covers, the cleaning process is as easy as getting the cloth wet, using a mixture of a mild cleaner and warm water on a washcloth to scrub down your canopy, and putting upright to dry.

Keep the canopy open while drying, to reduce the chance for mildew to grow, and ensure the canopy dries completely. If your canopy requires heavier cleaning, you may want to consider throwing it in a commercial (extra capacity) washing machine with detergent. However, check the tag on your canopy, to make sure that the washing process will not destroy your canopy.

Patio umbrellas can be the perfect addition to your patio furniture, but only when properly taken care of throughout its life. By properly cleaning and caring for your umbrella, you will guarantee a lasting investment that will be cherished by your friends and family for years to come.

Pressure Washer Safety Tips

Before starting any pressure-washing project, it is important to take the time to properly prepare the work site, and consider some of the following safety tips.

 ??equipmemt safety

Make sure to check the engine oil level each time you use your pressure washer.

When changing or adding oil, do not overfill the engine crankcase. Overfilling oil may cause smoking, hard starting, spark plug fouling, and oil saturation of the air filter.

Do not run the pressure washer before connecting and turning on the water supply failing to do so will result in damage to the pump.

Always keep the high-pressure hose connected to both the pump and the spray gun while the system is pressurized.

Never refuel a hot or running engine. Wait two minutes before refueling.

Do not secure the spray gun trigger in the spray position.

Never adjust the spray pattern or change a spray tip while spraying.

Using a pressure washer from a ladder, scaffolding, or other unstable position is not recommended. A slip or fall could result from the recoil of the initial spray, or the pressure of the water striking a wall surface.

Never attempt to repair a damaged high-pressure hose. If the high-pressure hose is damaged, replace with a new one.

??persomal safety

Always read and follow the operator’s manual and all operating instructions.

Assume a solid stance and firmly grasp the spray gun with both hands to avoid injury if the gun kicks back before squeezing the spray gun trigger.

High-pressure spray can cut trough skin. Never spray people or animals, as injury can result.

Use extreme caution when spraying near power lines, service feeds, and electrical meters.

Keep the nozzle spray away from electrical wiring and windows.

Never allow children to operate the pressure washer. Do not leave a pressure washer unattended while it is running.

Do not wear open-toed shoes while pressure washing.

Most importantly, always wear goggles when using a pressure washer or when in the vicinity of the equipment in use. The high-pressure spray can cause paint chips or other particles to become airborne.

Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when engine/motor is stopped and water is disconnected. ALWAYS point spray gun in safe direction and squeeze spray gun trigger, to release high pressure, every time you stop engine/motor. Engage trigger lock when not in use.

??usage tips

Cleaning Tips: Get the Best Results under Pressure We have some overall usage tips we’ve compiled for you. If you have your own pressure washing tips or job-specific suggestions that you’d like to share, please send them to us. (Link to contact us main landing page)

Use the Right Nozzle

     If you use a nozzle that concentrates too much power, you could accidentally harm some surfaces. Before using the nozzle on a very visual area, test it in an inconspicuous area. Be especially mindful when cleaning wood since it’s porous and can be damaged by too much pressure.

Use the Right Cleaner

Most manufacturers have detergents and waxes formulated and approved for their equipment. With Briggs & Stratton engines and machines, we recommend you use Briggs & Stratton Deck Wash, Vehicle/Boat Wash, Heavy-Duty Degreaser, or Multi-purpose Wash.

Adjust the Spray Angle

      Cleaning results vary based on how wide you set the spray angle of your unit’s nozzle, from pin-point to wide fan. So take the time to test varying angles to discover what works the best. You’ll reduce the overall time it takes to complete projects when you find and use the best spray angle for each job.

Houses: From the Ground Up

      For safety’s sake, it’s best to clean a house from ground level. Using a ladder with all that slippery detergent and water can be hazardous. Use spray arm extensions and brushes to more effectively reach high spots and clean a dirty house or prep it for a new paint job.

Be Safe

      Pressure washers are equipped with safety features designed to reduce pressure buildup. Un-loaders and thermal relief valves prevent heat and water pressure from reaching dangerous levels. And oil-level indicators ensure that the washer stays properly lubricated.

New Infusion Set

Pump maker Disetronic announced on May 29 that its new Ultraflex Soft infusion set is now available for all insulin-pump users.

The Ultraflex Soft has a reversible connector at the base that “clicks” into place. In addition, it has a cannula that is tapered for easier insertion.

“We built this product from the ground up, using patient input to create the right features,” says John Odegard, marketing manager for Disetronic. “The Ultraflex is different from the Quick-set and Sof-set because the reversible ‘click’ connection system is much easier for persons who are vision impaired or have neuropathy.”

Odegard says the Ultraflex disconnects easily at the base, has a flexible Teflon cannula and doesn’t need an insertion device. It also has a clear window at the top of the infusion set, which makes it “easy to view your insertion site.” Compared with the Sof-set, Odegard says the Ultraflex introducer needle is a smaller 27-gauge.

“The Sof-set has a 26-gauge needle, which extends four mm beyond the cannula,” he says.

The Ultraflex Soft has a 90-degree insertion angle, as well as a soft Teflon cannula, which can flex with the patient’s body tissue.

The universal connection feature is compatible with all insulin pumps on the market. The set come sin two cannula lengths and three tubing lengths to fit all body sizes and types.

Odegard says all infusion sets need to be changed approximately every three days

Investment casting

Investment casting is an industrial process based on and also called lost-wax casting, one of the oldest known metal-forming techniques. From 5,000 years ago, when beeswax formed the pattern, to today’s high-technology waxes, refractory materials and specialist alloys, the castings allow the production of components with accuracy, repeatability, versatility and integrity in a variety of metals and high-performance alloys. Lost foam casting is a modern form of investment casting that eliminates certain steps in the process.

The process is generally used for small castings, but has produced complete aircraft door frames,
steel castings of up to 300 kg and aluminium castings of up to 30 kg. It is generally more expensive per unit than die casting or sand casting but with lower equipment cost. It can produce complicated shapes that would be difficult or impossible with die casting, yet like that process, it requires little surface finishing and only minor machining.

Tobacco Water Pipes: The Unique Smoking Experience

If you like to smoke tobacco and you are sick of the traditional forms of smoking, then you obviously have never smoked out of a tobacco water pipe. A tobacco water pipe has a reservoir that you place water into. The bowl, the object you place the tobacco into, is attached to a stem that is then submerged into the water.

As you light the bowl with the tobacco, you inhale through the hole that is designated for your mouth and the tobacco is then filtered by the water as it flows into your lungs. This makes smoking safer than using a regular tobacco pipe and the experience is much more enjoyable, according to the many people who regularly enjoy smoking from tobacco water pipes.

Hookahs
For centuries, people have smoked from tobacco water pipes but they called these hookahs. Middle Eastern countries such as Iran, Saudi Arabia and Turkey are well known to use hookahs. These tobacco water pipes have long, ornately carved stems from which many hoses emerge. The idea is that when the bowl is lit, several people can enjoy the smoke at once. This makes the hookah a truly unique smoking experience, something enjoyed by several at once rather than being just a solitary activity.

Most hookahs are lavishly decorated and it’s not unusual to see gold and even jewels used in the decorated of the tobacco water pipe. In some countries, it’s seen as odd not to own one and the popularity of hookahs has even encouraged the opening of hookah lounges. These establishments sport several hookahs where customers can come to sample different flavors of tobacco. Sort of like a bar, it’s a bonding experience where many people can come and relax and smoke off the hookah.It is important to clean your tobacco water pipe regularly. If you don’t clean your tobacco water pipe, you could affect the taste of the tobacco you use and it can also hinder your experience in other ways, such as making you sick. Change the water regularly and make sure you use a pipe cleaner on the hoses as well as the stem. Keeping your tobacco water pipe clean is seen as etiquette, especially if other people will be smoking off it.

Tobacco water pipes can be made from different materials. There are glass water pipes, plastic and even metal. The different materials can be cleaned but you must be careful of the cleaning agents you use to prevent damaging your tobacco water pipe. It’s best to just use warm water if you can get away with it as certain chemicals can damage your tobacco water pipe and that would be a shame, especially if you owned a beautiful, elaborate hookah.

Owning a tobacco water pipe is a special thing, as many people can become attached to theirs. Once they smoke from their tobacco water pipe, they would rather not smoke out of anything else. If you like smoking, and you like pipes, get a tobacco water pipe and you’ll likely never stray again.

Foley Catheter Insertion

What Is It?

A Foley catheter is a thin bendable tube with a balloon on the end. The end of the tube and the balloon are pushed into your bladder to drain urine. While this tube is in the bladder, urine is drained from it right away. You may need this catheter for just a little while or for a long time. How long you need it depends on why you have it.

The bladder is a hollow organ that holds urine. When you are ready to pass urine, it travels through the urethra (a small tube) to an opening in the body. Urine is let out of the body through this opening.
Why do you need it? You may need a catheter because of an infection, or a swollen prostate gland. You may need a catheter because of medicine you are taking. You may need a catheter because of a disease or an injury that is

causing problems in your urinary tract. Catheters may be used because you cannot pass the urine by yourself. After surgery, some people need to have catheters. The catheter is often used to keep track of how much urine a person is passing. When you have a catheter, it is important that you drink enough liquid every day. Ask your caregiver how much liquid you should drink each day.

Inserting a Foley catheter:

You will need to lie on your back covered by a sheet. While wearing sterile gloves, your caregiver will carefully clean the area around your urethra.

A soft tube called a Foley catheter will be gently put into your urethra. The tube will pass through the urethra and into your bladder.

When the tube gets to your bladder, the balloon will be filled with sterile water by your caregiver. The balloon will keep the catheter in your bladder.

The balloon presses against the wall of your bladder. This may make you feel like you need to pass urine. Instead of you passing the urine, it will drain out the catheter and into the urine bag.

To keep the catheter in place, it will be taped to your abdomen (stomach) or leg.Putting in your catheter should take about 10 minutes.

Caring for your Foley or leg drainage bag:

Catheters are designed to be closed drainage systems. This means that the path from the tip of the catheter inserted into the bladder, to the bag which catches urine, is closed. A closed system decreases the chance of getting an infection. It also decreases the chance of the catheter breaking and urine spilling out. People with catheters and their caregivers should avoid detaching parts of the catheter along the closed system unless it is necessary.

Larger, sterile, drainable, 2 liter drainage bags or smaller sterile leg bags are used to collect your urine. To
keep a closed system, these bags are connected directly to the catheter. If you use a leg bag to collect urine, a larger drainage bag may be attached at night with a special connector. A drainage bag should be emptied only when it is full enough that this is needed. Some plastic drainage bags should be changed every 5 to 7 days. Ask your caregiver how often your drainage bag should be changed.

Drainage bags must be kept below the level of the bladder. This will allow gravity to help drain the urine, and will stop urine from flowing back into your bladder. Urine that flows back into your bladder increases your risk of an infection. Do not let the drainage bag rest on or touch the floor. The tubing that goes from your urethra to a leg bag should be secured to your thigh with special tape, a leg strap, or a drain tube stabilizer. Allow extra tubing between the urethra and the point where it is secured to your thigh.
CARE AGREEMENT:

You have the right to help plan your care. To help with this plan, you must learn about your health condition and how it may be treated. You can then discuss treatment options with your caregivers. Work with them to decide what care may be used to treat you. You always have the right to refuse treatment.

Definition of Oxygen mask

Oxygen mask: A mask that covers the mouth and nose, and is hooked up to an oxygen tank. It delivers oxygen directly to the patient. Oxygen can also be delivered directly through a nasal catheter, a tube that divides into two smaller tubes that go into the nostrils.

Oxygen is a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas that makes up about 20 percent of the air we breathe (and at least half the weight of the entire solid crust of the earth) and which combines with most of the other elements to form oxides. Oxygen is essential to human, animal and plant life.

The chemical symbol for the element oxygen is O. As a medicinal gas, oxygen contains not less than 99.0% by volume of O2.

Oxygen was discovered in 1774 by the British scientist Joseph Priestly but he did not name it “oxygen.” He called it dephlogisticated air. (Priestly discovered three other chemical compounds, one of which, nitrous oxide -”laughing gas” – is still used today as a mild anesthetic agent, as during dental procedures.)

The word “oxygen” came from the French “oxygene.” It was so named by the French scientist Antoine Lavoisier (1743-94) who thought it was a necessary ingredient in all acids. This is not so. Hydrochloric acid (HCl), for example, contains no oxygen.
