false advertising

[Tony in SD]

I only used 100psi as an example because that's what the city water is at my house. The pressure exiting a tapered, straight-stream nozzle feels like more pressure, but as shown in the video
is actually lower inside the nozzle.

Wow. Most all building codes say that anything over 80 PSI is not to code. Most water systems deliver between 40 and 60 PSI.

I have an inline pressure reducer supplying my house, the outside faucets are line pressure. It's a rural water corporation. I know of another rural water corporation about 50 miles from me that's also 100psi.

Who do you do you know with a water system with 100psi?

My rural system recently said that they had to up theirs to 85# due to the number of people moving into the area and people griping about low water pressure.....when I heard that, I bought and installed a 50# pressure regulator at the outlet of my meter....My 45+ year old PVC needs to hang in there or I'll have a horrible mess in the house and huge problem getting things cleaned up and the pipes replaced.

I have seen some guy's ex-wives where there was some false advertising involved too!

 

[T.R.K.]

When my parents moved in here in 1985 we couldn't keep washers in the faucets because of the water pressure. I am thinking it would go over 80 psi or more. We put in a pressure reducing/relieving valve and had no more trouble with the faucets, except for we had to replace that valve about 20 years ago.

The British chap on YouTube, diy something something, had bought several of those false Ai ‘tools’ and shown them.

The drill bits that had odd points and flutes on the.

The welder/ metal cutter/ rust stripper that is actually a simple cheap propane torch.

This pressure washer.

And others.

Is it the pressure washer ad where they basically admit they are scamming us, by saying the ad will get taken down in 30 days by the authorities?

I really look down on any product being advertised on YouTube, I just assume it’s a scam. Briefly there were some local chain stores advertising but I see less of that. Most ads are so horrid that good companies might be shying away.

Oh. ‘Proper DYI’ is the channel of the British fellow that does the nice videos. He has a few dyi channels, I like his sense of humor.
