Getting the chance to go on any holiday is an exciting time for anyone. Whether it is going for a short break to Europe or going to the warm tropical island get away.

We always ensure that we have all our holiday essentials covered:

- Passport

- Money

- Suntan lotion

- Travel insurance

- Camera

- Lock up the house properly

In all this excitement, we sometimes overlook the simplest things such as ensuring the taps are switched off properly. On your return from holiday looking well tanned and relaxed, you enter your home only to find that your floor is completely drenched in water and the first human instinct is to panic.

After the plumber has left and you have paid him with your last pound from your bank account because you are so skint coming back from holiday (which we are get), you are left with the daunting question to yourself, "why didn't I think to double check the taps?"

Here are some of my tips to ensure that your holiday remains memorable for the right reasons.

Please read advisory note before following the procedures for turning off your mains water supply.

- Isolate mains water feed to property. In order to do this, you need to know where your mains water supply stopcock is (if in doubt contact a plumber or neighbour). They are usually located under the kitchen sink but for older properties such as in London, they are commonly found under the staircase on the ground floor.

- Once you have located the mains water stopcock to property, you need to turn it off which often is easier said than done. These stopcocks are normally of a brass construction and tend to seize very easily.

- You will need to first spray the stopcock with WD 40 or some other type of lubricant. If you don't have WD 40 or a similar lubricant (which is preferred) you can use ordinary cooking oil (that's it, ordinary cooking oil but be careful otherwise you could make a mess by using this option).

- Once you have sprayed/lubricated the stopcock, it will be easier for you to turn it off.

- You need to turn it off in a clockwise direction (DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN).

- If the stopcock is stiff to turn off, you will need to be VERY CAREFUL as mentioned above, these stopcocks are often made of brass or other similar soft metals and YOU DO NOT want it to snap.

- As you turn slightly clockwise, it often becomes very stiff to turn by hand, STOP turning clockwise and turn the tap anti-clockwise to loosen it, re-spray/lubricate again and repeat previous action. Each time the action is repeated, you should be able to turn the stopcock more and more

- Turn on the kitchen tap (cold water only) and after a few seconds the water should stop. THAT'S IT!

Advisory Note:

If in any doubt, contact a qualified plumber. Do not as mentioned above, over-tighten the stopcock otherwise this could snap in the shut position leaving your property permanently without water. You should not have to use any tools other than your hands and some lubricant as mentioned above. If you cannot turn the mains water supply off by hand, contact a qualified plumber.

If all the above are done, then you should not have any surprises when you get home.

Tovatech Ultrasonic Cleaner: Tiny Bubbles Provide Powerful Cleaning Action

One of the most powerful, yet gentle, cleaning processes available is provided by ultrasonic energy.  Generally operating below the threshold of hearing, ultrasonic cleaners are used for virtually any cleaning requirement, but especially for products that are difficult to clean by any other process – including manual scrubbing.

At one end of the scale, ultrasonic cleaners are used for delicate parts such as jewelry, medical and dental instruments, lenses, printed circuit boards, optical encoders, liquid crystal displays and window blinds.  At the other end, an ultrasonic cleaner removes grease, grime and baked-on carbon from super-dirty automotive and aircraft engines and their various components such as oil sumps and carburetors.  In between? Well, if a product is not damaged by immersion an ultrasonic cleaning solution – generally water based – it is a candidate for this most versatile of cleaning systems.

How Ultrasonic Cleaners Work

The basic components of an ultrasonic cleaning system include the tank, which can be of most any size depending on what is being cleaned, an ultrasonic frequency generator and ultrasonic transducers.  The generator transmits ultrasonic energy to the transducers bonded to the bottom and/or sides of the tank.  The tank contains an ultrasonic cleaning solution that is formulated for the particular cleaning application.  Most solutions are shipped in concentrated form for dilution with water to the manufacturers' specifications.

Other components of the system can include baskets or racks for immersing and removing the parts from the ultrasonic cleaning bath, and rinsing tanks.

The Cleaning Magic of Cavitation

A panel mounted on the side of the tank controls the on-off cycle with options that can include a timer, solution temperature selector and other bells and whistles featured on most industrial and healthcare ultrasonic cleaners such as the Elmasonic series offered by Tovatech.  Once activated, the ultrasonic generators transmit energy to the transducers.  The vibration of the transducers transfers high-frequency energy through the tank wall and into the cleaning solution. This creates billions of microscopic bubbles that implode with tremendous force when they come in contact with contaminants on the surface of objects being cleaned.  This implosion, called cavitation, literally blasts away dirt, grease, grime, paint, ink, smoke stains, finger marks and the like from surfaces.  Yet despite this energy, the cavitation does not damage parts being cleaned when correct ultrasonic frequencies are employed.

No surface is immune to the cleaning power of cavitation. The bubbles penetrate tiny crevices, cracks and blind screw holes – areas impossible to reach by any other cleaning system.

Ultrasonic frequencies employed, along with the formulations of ultrasonic solutions, are governed by what is being cleaned.  The most widely used frequencies are in the range of 35 kHz - 45 kHz.   Specialized equipment may offer a choice between frequencies, such as Elma's dual frequency 25/45 kHz, 35/130 kHz, and 37/80 kHz models offered by Tovatech.  Lower frequencies are used to remove heavy types of contamination from durable surfaces; higher frequencies are used to clean fragile instruments or parts with very tiny features such as microelectronic components.

Maintenance

Contaminants removed by ultrasonic cleaning settle out into the solution and can be removed by filters and skimmers in order to extend the life of the solution and avoid possible damage to the cleaning tank.  Tanks should be periodically drained and can be cleaned with specially formulated cleaning solutions and procedures to remove rust films and mineral deposits.  Tanks should also be inspected for wear due to cavitation energy.

I CHANGED MY OIL IN MY CAR RECENTLY AND WHEN I DRAINED IT IT WAS LIKE A SYRUP,NOT LIKE THAT OF CLEAN OIL THOUGH.CHANGED IT AND NEEDED A NEW SUMP PLUG ,WHEN I QUICKLY CHANGED THE SUMP THERE WAS STILL THIS FILTHY SYRUP COMING OUT.MY QUESTION IS ,IS THERE SUCH THING AS AN ENGINE OIL CLEANER YOU PUT INTO YOUR ENGINE?THANKS AND DONT FORGET I AM A GIRL(LOL)

Hi there...Engine oil is designed to entrap the carbon,the acids,the airborne dirt plus water to a certain extent.
So after say 5 to 10 thousand klm the oil can be a dark brown to a black... this is normal.
don't forget to change the oil filter ?... hope this helped

Council looks at library salaries, budget
ELGIN- City Clerk Rhonda Dales received a telephone call from an Elgin resident last week asking the salary of the librarian. Although a city employee, the librarian’s salary is set by the library board and not by the city council. Dales said the city code states the library board is responsible for evaluations and setting the salary of all library employees.
