Faucet Aerator

A faucet aerator (or tap aerator) is an addition to your faucet that adds air to the water stream, separating the stream into many little droplets. The water aerator increases water pressure, and ideal for homes with lower pressure.

Faucet aerator helps you save water.

Having a water aerator installed on your kitchen faucet or your shower will not only make the water stream stronger, but will use less water, adding air to the stream. Call your plumber to install one on your kitchen or bathroom faucet and in your shower to save water, reduce splashing and lower your monthly bill. The modern faucets usually have the aerators installed, make sure you have one, this little addition will save your hundreds of gallons of water each year.

Cleaning water aerators.

The aerators in your kitchen faucet are usually easy to clean. Almost always the aerator is screwed to the tip or your faucet.

• Unscrew the aerator, using groove-joint pliers. Apply masking tape around the jaws or your aerator to prevent it from scratching. If you can't unscrew the pars, call your plumber, do not put too much pressure, or your can break the faucet.
• Turn the aerator clockwise with your pliers to loosen it. 
• Take your aerator apart to clean it. You can use an old toothbrush, or a special brush to gently clean the parts of it. You may want to soak the aerator in white vinegar or lime-dissolver solution to eliminate the buildup. 
• Reassemble the parts and screw the aerator back on the faucet. Use the pliers to tighten it up. 

Clean aerator means clean water, and it's a good idea to wash your sink aerator on a regular basis.

Tankless Water Heaters in Richmond

When it comes to saving money, people tend to look over their expenses, cut down on the unnecessary purchases, eating out, vacations, and so on. Not too many of us look at the energy bill and try to estimate the savings that could be achieved with using less energy, a tankless water heater for example.
You use hot water  every day to take showers, wash dishes, do laundry, etc. Have you ever run out of hot water? Do you follow the rule of not taking your shower while doing laundry, or using your dishwasher? The tankless water heaters may change your habits a little, and make your life a bit easier.

Here are the main differences between the regular and the tankless water heaters:

Water heater with a tank:

• Heats up water and stores it in the tank.
• Keeps the water heated at all times, unless you turn it off.
• Runs out of hot water if the amount of water used is greater than the tank holds.

Tankless water heater:

• Heaters up only the water that is being used at the moment.
• Doesn't uses energy when not in use.
• Provides an endless hot water supply when you need it.

The tankless water heater makes your life more comfortable. With a tankless water heater you will never run out of hot water again, and can use your dishwasher, do laundry and take a shower all at the same time. On top of that tankless water heater also saves you energy by not heating the water when it is not in use.

The next time you think of cutting your expenses, think of installing a tankless water heater for your home.

Bedroom Design

When decorating your bedroom, you want it to reflect your style, and to be as comfortable as possible. The design variations may vary from your bedroom's size and shape, the amount of the sunlight it gets, and the additional functions you want your bedroom to have.

The size of your bedroom.
A bedroom furniture set for a small bedroom will usually include a bed, nightstands, a dresser and a chest. The bigger the size of the room is, the more additional furniture pieces can be added. If you have extra space in your bedroom, you can add another drawer chest, a couch, a coffee table, or even a table with chairs. But even if you have a large bedroom and plenty of space, try to emphasize the main use of the room, make it comfortable for you to get a good rest at night, or during the day.


The amount of the sunlight in your bedroom.
The light doesn't really affect the style of your bedroom, but the "feel" that your bedroom has.To keep a dark room lighter you can paint the walls in lighter colors, and choose a lighter furniture. Light colors also make the areas look bigger. Add more light colors to your bedroom to make it seem lighter and larger.

The additional functions of your bedroom.
You can use you bedroom not only as a place where you sleep. A bedroom could also be an office, a TV room, a mini-library, a breakfast area, etc. If the space of your bedroom allows you to use it during the day to read, work, watch TV, or do anything else, try to design your bedroom accordingly. When adding extra features to your bedroom, keep in mind, that it is still a bedroom, and you want it to stay convenient and comfortable for a good night sleep.
