    Garage Car Lift - Atlas 9KOHX - 9,000 lb 2-post

    I was told by a business person that BendPak lifts are made in China and that they rebrand that style of lift. The same factory rebrands that lift and different manufacturers put their name on it. Looks like BendPak & Dannmar come out of the same factory in China. The Dannmar is ALI Certified...

    Garage Car Lift - Atlas 9KOHX - 9,000 lb 2-post

    I was looking to buying the Atlas 9KOHX 9,000 lb 2-post car lift. I was looking at BendPak but the lifts are pushing $6k for the same lift while the Atlas is $2,500. There is a company "Heavy Lift Direct" that allows direct pickup at its warehouses. So that saves $400 on shipping. My garage...

    Storing Fridge - Unplug or Plug?

    Thanks for the replies! It seems an overwhelming majority agree that the fridge can be stored unplugged. Once it is moved into the new house, I will let it sit for a few days and then plug it in. Even minisplit manufacturers say that a unit will have a longer lifespan if the unit doesn't have...

    Storing Fridge - Unplug or Plug?

    I got a fridge that will be going into a new house but it's not for a couple of months so the fridge is currently sitting in my garage unplugged with the doors open. Someone claimed that the fridge needs to be plugged in 24\7 or otherwise the compressor will fail prematurely. I talked to a...

    Well Pump Expansion Tank

    So far I've had the VFD going 10 years with zero issues. The bladder tank is also fine. I'm just installing another VFD on a different house that's why I bought it new tank for it

    Well Pump Expansion Tank

    Yes, the 2nd pic is looking inside the tank from the bottom, where the water line connects to. These smaller tanks are for constant pressure VFD well pumps. They don't require large tanks.

    Well Pump Expansion Tank

    I got a new expansion tank for my well pump. Inside there is a plastic like cap and when I pushed on it, nothing happened. Is that supposed to come out or move? I don't want to install it and find out that I needed to remove the inside or something wasn't correct with it. It also looks like it's...

    10kW Ground Mounted Solar Panel System

    Price wise, I am able to get 23 bifacial solar panels (750w) and the mounting brackets for $2k delivered from my Chinese contact. Panels have a 25 year warranty and are rated\tested So bifacial panels will break more easily in hail than standard panels?
