![]() ![]() Hopefully it will look just as good tomorrow in daylight, but I'll be surprised if it doesn't. I suppose I should follow up tomorrow with a coating of Stainless Steel Magic for a little protection. Dove back under the sink and retrieved the copper cleaner.WORKED FANTASTICALLY! All the nasty streaks are gone, and I do believe whoever said tarnish was the culprit was ABSOLUTELY CORRECT! The copper cleaner smelled awful once I applied it (must have been some chemical reaction dealing with the tarnish), but after rinsing with a good dose of clear water, and polishing up with a clean terry towel, the front of the Sub-Z looks better than it ever has, and it didn't take that much elbow grease. Putting the silver polish away I noticed little raised letters on the lid of the container telling me that for stainless steel, use Twinkle Copper Cleaner. Tried my Twinkle Silver Polish and it worked better than anything else so far, but not perfectly visible streaks and water drop marks remained. Kept researching and saw that someone said it's tarnish and suggested silver polish. Tried Stainless Steel Magic, Windex, white vinegar and plain old detergent and water. I also wonder if this oily stuff will build up over time, so I liked hearing people's tips to get it off with vinegar or other cleaners.Ĭopper cleaner is the way to go!! Didn't think I'd spend most of Friday night of Labor Day Weekend trying to clean the water marks off my Sub Zero, but there you go. Maybe if you just keep cleaning them religiously eventually the streaks will eventually wear down. Maybe they did change the SS material they use. I wonder if the streaks become more permanent if you don't keep at it, I don't know. It's irksome, but I think the DW is pretty to look at when it's shiny. I get them off first, then I rub with the grain.īut it really takes doing it often, sometimes once a day, maybe at night before we go to bed. I find that if I clean only "with the grain'' it doesn't get the streaks out. Maybe because it is a microfiber cloth, the circular motion doesn't seem to harm the SS, even though they tell you to go with the grain. I try to use the microfiber on the DW every other day or so, without spraying more of the cleaner on it, and I use a firm rubbing motion. The streak marks return quickly, I think because we use the DW so much, and maybe our wet hands are dripping water? I think it's the effect of oil on water. ![]() It's kind of an oily substance, but I find if I use it regularly, with a microfiber cloth, it gets rid of those streak marks. I'm looking at the spray blue bottle, but that's all I can tell. I clean it with something called 1-step Stainless Steel Cleaner that I think I got at Home Depot (hate to tell you how old it is, but I bougtht it when we lived in another house and hadn't used it til we remodeled here recently). We have a new SS Bosch dishwasher that was installed in August, and those streaks bug me too. I just hope the pads don't dry out before I get around to using them. Has anyone else tried these pads? Today I like them much better than the liquid cleaners. The extra Scotch-Brite pads have to be kept in the plastic container that comes in the kit so they won't dry out. Next I will tackle the giant SS refrigertor Since the pad was still moist I used it on the range front-it looks so much better but still has some slight light smudges in one area-I didn't use the detergent on the range. I know that site said to use vinegar for water marks but I wanted to try the milder baking soda first. This morning only half of one water mark is still visible to me-so I will try the baking soda paste on just that part. I put one pad onto the handle and went over the DW with long strokes with the grain. It contains a handle & pad with 6 pre-moistened pads. Next I used (what my DH bought)Scotch-Brite Stainless Steel Cleaner starter kit. Next I scrubbed gently the water marks with the baking soda paste. I read the info at the Signature site you posted about using water and mild detergent and did that first. Meg711- my DW also has 2 water marks that I have put off trying to clean until I read this thread. Everytime I used the liquid cleaners there was always streaks left. Each one came with a different liquid cleaner. I also have SS Bosch DW plus a KitchenAid slide in range, WhirlPool/Kenmore refrigerator, Kenmore microwave and Broan hood vent. ![]()

![]() Ergo, no air pump means no working filter, which means dirty water and dead fish. For example, a filter is mandatory for any fish tank setup, and some filters need an air pump to operate. While the filter should be able to do this by itself, the air pump can help.Īlso, you may have necessary accessories that are run by an air pump. But the air pump does help in water circulation, so it helps with the release of carbon dioxide from the water and the intake of oxygen from the air for the fish. There’s no truth to the rumor that you require the air pump for enough oxygenation for the tank to enable your fish to breath properly. So, let us give you advice and help you in your choice of tools, maintenance, or the improvement of your garden, nothing could be simpler.Before we go further, I want to emphasize the fact that an air pump is not absolutely necessary to an aquarium setup. Yes, gardening is also tinkering: pergolas, huts, pavements, fences, and so on.There is always something to do in a garden.Īfter working well together, my wife and I are proud of the result and delighted to be able to take full advantage of a friendly and warm environment. With my wife, I created our garden from start to finish and I maintain it carefully, the same goes for the vegetable garden. On a personal level, I am equally oriented towards the art of gardening. In fact, as a trainee and working in the hospitality industry at the beginning of my career, I focused on landscaping in a local community where I acquired solid technical skills through in-house training and the follow-up of major projects in a rapidly changing town. ![]() At the same time, I bring my expertise to my clients in terms of the maintenance and improvement of their gardens. I manage a team of gardeners and ensure the creation and maintenance of green spaces. Try to find an air pump that comes equipped with all these parts to avoid having to purchase components separately.įor several years I have been running a garden service with a clientele of both individuals and companies. To sum up, there are four essential components of an air pump: the air valve, the airline tubing, the diffuser and the check valve. The same goes for the air valve and tubing which are, of course, key to the air pump operation. In this case, you will have to purchase the valve separately.Īir stones or bubblers are designed to produce small bubbles and may or may not be supplied. To do so, you simply need to read the product specifications as you will often find that some important accessories are not supplied.įor example, some models aren't fitted with a check valve which is absolutely essential. It's also important to look into the types of accessories provided with an air pump. For example, a 100-litre tank will need a pump able to process about 90 to 150 l/h. You should be looking for about 0.9 to 1.5 l/h per litre of water. ![]() However, the most important measure of power is litres per hour (l/h).įor small aquariums measuring up to 72 litres, a pump able to process 65 to 140 l/h will work fine. The power of an air pump is measured in watts and can range from 4 to 35 W. Ideally, your air pumps should also have different speed settings to adjust the power ![]() If you have any doubts, always go for the most powerful model. The same goes for the number of bubblers or even the use of a 'bubble wall'. If you have a large aquarium, you need a powerful pump. ![]() The power of an air pump must be matched to the size of your fish tank. To ensure you pick the right one for your aquarium, it's important to ensure the air pump can provide enough power and to check the types of installation accessories it comes with. The characteristics of air pumps vary from model to model. ![]() ![]() ![]() If and when you choose to afford it, I think it's really great.Equalizers4Foobar is a useful set of presets you can use from within your preferred music player (in case Foobar2000 is your favorite, of course) in order to adjust the audio parameters according to your preferences in a more convenient manner than manually dragging the sliders until your sound is perfect.Īll the presets that are included in the Equalizers4Foobar package are meant to be used with the 18-band equalizer that is built-in the music player.
