Automatic Balancing Valves Can Fix Building Water Flow Problems

A common and well known problem in apartment buildings is the inconsistency of water flow at certain times of the day or week. It is a routine occurrence in an apartment complex that most inhabitants get up in the morning and head for the shower.

What happens when a high number of occupants have turned the hot water on to full blast? Invariably, the apartments that are closer to the source of the hot water will get blasted with scolding hot water while the units further out will be lucky to experience a barely warm shower or worse, a very cold awakening experience!

This situation can be remedied relatively easily and inexpensively by contacting automatic balancing valve suppliers to find the automatic control valves that fit your needs. These valves come in different sizes, ½” to 2” in copper and 2.5” to 10” in steel, to accommodate most if not all standard plumbing used in commercial and residential buildings. Their main function is to regulate the flow of water independently of the pressure conditions in the system. This is a valuable tool to solve an all too common problem that is wide spread across the country.

In smaller buildings, such as private homes, a manual valve system may be the best option as it will be more cost-effective and sufficient to regulate the smaller water system. Manual control valve suppliers offer combination ball valve unions that provide highly accurate readings.

California Resident Fined for Over Trimming Trees

In La Cañada Flintridge, Calfornia resident Franklin Wang is facing thousands of dollars in city fines for over trimming oaks trees on his property.

In article published this week in La Cañada Valley Sun Franklin Wang is reported to believe that his punishment is unfair.

Arborist Seattle specialists recommend homeowners to seek professional advice on tree removal and tree trimming, not only for the safety of the trees, but also for the safety of the owner. Although Wang hired a pruning service, tree maintenance is often performed by workers that are neither tree specialist nor certified arborists. The coastal live oak trees on his property are a protected species by city ordinances and have to be trimmed by an approved and certified arborist.

Homework Wang, who is faced with paying a $3,650 fine and a deposit of $1,500 for an arborist to inspect his trees three times during the next five years, is claiming that he is victim of the pruning services. The services he hired were not approved by the city and he claims that the workers gave him a false card stating that they were. The report was made anonymously to a city code enforcement office.

Bellevue tree removal professional at Certified Arborist Tree Care, LLC recommend checking at the International Society of Arboriculture website in order to confirm that someone is an ISA certified arborist before contracting their services.
