    At Home: Soften up that hard water - February 28, 2014 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Have you ever visited a hotel and noticed your soap and shampoo made more bubbles than at home? Or the water felt slick on your skin? Perhaps you always use the spot-free rinse at the car wash to give your vehicle a blemish-free finish. In each of these cases, you have experienced softened water, and the installation of a water softener can bring those experiences to your home.

    How it Works

    Hard water is caused by calcium and magnesium in the water. A water softener works through a process known as an ion exchange. The hard water passes through a tank filled with small, polystyrene beads charged with sodium. The calcium and magnesium ions have a positive charge, and beads have a negative charge. As the water goes through the tank, the calcium and magnesium attaches to the beads, and are exchanged with sodium ions, to soften the water. (The amount of sodium added to the water is minimal and not considered a health hazard for most people. If sodium is a concern, choose a water softener that uses potassium chloride instead. However, this will cost more than the more common sodium softeners.)

    Once the water softeners beads are loaded with calcium and magnesium, the softener goes through a regeneration process. A high-sodium brine solution is flushed thought the bead tank, where the sodium replaces the calcium-magnesium build-up, which is flushed down the drain. Then the beads are ready to work again.

    Some clues that you have hard water include spots on clean dishes, soaps that dont bubble-up or rinse away completely, and a soapy film that builds up in the shower. Nick McCart, plumbing supervisor for Blue Dot, pointed out, The white build up on a shower head and inside coffee makers is calcium from the water.

    What a Softener Can and Cant Do

    That same white build-up can happen inside a homes water pipes, facets, and water heater, which causes damage and lessens efficiency. Softened water prevents these build-ups and increases the longevity of your plumbing fixtures. Jason Pisocki, water treatment division manager for McEloys, noted softened water will also save money. He said, The cost of your cleaning supplies will drop dramatically with conditioned water because youll use less soap and fewer harsh chemicals and detergents to get the job done. Less energy is required to heat water in tanks without a scale build-up, 17- to 21-percent less.

    However, if your main water complaints are the odor or taste, a water softener wont help. McCart said, To deal with odor, taste, or sediment problems, you need to install a whole-house water filter system. The whole-house system can be installed before the water softener, so after the water is filtered it goes through the softener. This will also help prolong the life of the softener.

    Pisocki said, A water softener is made to remove the calcium and magnesium in your domestic water supply. A good water softener can remove a low amount of iron in the water but if there are high amounts of iron in the water it will not be removed by the water softener. A water softener will not remove any kind of bacteria, or change the ph of the water either. If there is a water pressure problem in the home the water softener will not correct any of the issues. In a lot of cases, the pressure issues will need to be handled along with installing the water softener.

    Trying to Make Sense of a Senseless Workplace Tragedy - February 27, 2014 by Mr HomeBuilder

    One of the most useful proverbs that I learned in my journalism classes was tell a friend. Its an adage that can apply to any kind of storytelling fiction or nonfiction but it was especially helpful to me when I was starting out as a small-town newspaper reporter. Overworked, overtired and overcaffeinated (but underpaid, of course), tell a friend was a life preserver for me in my most desperate moments of deadline-induced writers block.

    The idea is simple (keep it simple, stupid theres another useful maxim): If youre having a hard time writing the story, write it in the same way that you would tell a friend. If you want to picture yourself telling a friend while enjoying a cold, frothy beverage, go right ahead (thats what I like to do).

    I bring this up because Im struggling to articulate my feelings about a recent story that I wrote, so I thought it would be interesting to use the tell a friend method for the purposes of this blog post.

    If I were at a bar, trying to explain this story to a friend, I might say something like this:

    "There was this factory in California. Its not around anymore, because it blew up.

    Anyway, the corporation was pressuring the guys at the plant to do plastic extrusion thats where you melt plastic to form it into stuff. But this was a new operation. So the plant guys had to set up the plant for plastic extrusion and install the equipment to do plastic extrusion. Are you with me so far?

    This is the crazy part: To do plastic extrusion in a factory, you need an industrial-grade boiler, right? I mean, everything in a factory should be industrial-grade, but that goes without saying. Well instead of using an industrial-grade boiler, the guys at the plant decided to buy a Whirlpool water heater from Lowes! Just because it was a lot cheaper and easier to install. Can you believe that?

    So the guys in the plant jury-rigged it and used it to melt plastic for their operation. They even removed all the safety features. But this Whirlpool was not designed to do the kind of stuff you do in a factory! It was a Whirlpool, for Gods sake!

    Anyway, they had all kinds of problems with this thing. It was breaking down constantly. Keeping this thing working was practically a full-time job for the maintenance guys. The thing was always on the fritz, because it wasnt designed to do this stuff. Im surprised it lasted as long as it did.

    So the water heater exploded and killed two guys who were trying to fix it. The thing blew through the roof like a rocket. It ****ed up the factory so bad that that the factory shut down for good.

    Lawmaker Calls For Mandatory Carbon Monoxide Detectors Following Death At LI Mall - February 25, 2014 by Mr HomeBuilder

    CBS New York (con't)

    Affordable Care Act Updates: CBSNewYork.com/ACA

    Health News & Information: CBSNewYork.com/Health

    HUNTINGTON, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) The weekend death of a restaurant manager on Long Island from carbon monoxide fumes has lawmakers considering new legislation to prevent future tragedies.

    As WCBS 880 Long Island Bureau Chief Mike Xirinachs reported, Suffolk County legislator William Spencer said in the aftermath of the fatal incident at the Legal Sea Foods restaurant at the Walt Whitman Shops in Huntington Station, all businesses inspected by the health department should be required to install carbon monoxide detectors.

    Spencer also said first responders should be outfitted with CO detectors.

    Our first responders should be protected. I think that they should have portable detectors so that when theyre rushing into an emergency situation, they can be aware, Spencer told Xirinachs.

    Restaurant manager Steven Nelson, 55, was found dead in the basement of Legal Sea Foods Saturday night. More than two dozen other people were sent to hospitals for treatment.

    Captain Mark Cappola told CBS 2s Andrea Grymes that he had no idea that carbon monoxide would hit him and other first responders when they arrived at the restaurant.

    In retrospect I probably was feeling it more than I wanted to admit but most of its adrenaline thats keeping you going, he said.
