    Inverter Type MiniSplit heating & air conditioning

    Exactly, $111.00 US will buy you a 3cfm pump off amazon that will be perfect for mini splits and with a few more dollars spent you won't be sitting in the middle of summer with your flowers wilting because someone who knew better gave bad advice. The real shame is that he could be using his...

    Inverter Type MiniSplit heating & air conditioning

    If it seems to be heating and cooling then just keep an eye on your supply temps. Like I had mentioned, most systems will only allow low fan speed in heating mode if they are low on refrigerant so that will help clue you in if things are going south. PM me if you want.

    Inverter Type MiniSplit heating & air conditioning

    The only way to check for correct charge is to pull it out and weight it. Do you have a digital thermometer? If so and you can run it in heating mode with out damage to plants, see what the supply air temp is and will the fan go to high. If you can get high fan speed and a temp over 110 you are...

    Inverter Type MiniSplit heating & air conditioning

    Guess who, obviously one of those guys. On one hand "technicians" like you make me lots of money cleaning up your shitty work but on the other you give the industry a bad name. Got to love the ignore button. Now Piss off

    The end of LED is nigh. Incandescent will rise again.

    I wouldn't even bother, just more food for the troll.

    Inverter Type MiniSplit heating & air conditioning

    Can you show me a link to any manufacturer that allows any method other than pulling a vacuum to a specific point for installation purposes? A valve core remover with a side port for the micron gauge, single hose (larger is better) and a vacuum pump is all that's needed to evacuate a system. If...

    Inverter Type MiniSplit heating & air conditioning

    I see one of the biggest benefits is being able to run multiple smaller heads in the room that allow you to deal with the humidity (latent heat) better. One big 36k head will just cruise along when the heat load is small, maintaining it's set point and not reducing relative humidity. Now you...

    Inverter Type MiniSplit heating & air conditioning

    Sure that works temporarily but it's not good advice. We need to not be "those people", do it right or don't bother. We already get the blame for using too much electricity, polluting water supplies and a host of other things. A vacuum pump and micron gauge can be had for around $300 US. A smart...

    Inverter Type MiniSplit heating & air conditioning

    Sadly you can buy them right off the Internet and yes most likely they will leak the entire charge within 6 months.

    Inverter Type MiniSplit heating & air conditioning

    I find it funny that you get snarky on the original poster for using "high voltage" instead of "dangerous voltage" then tell Maine_Coast that he "could" run 14awg on the 30amp breaker he got for the mini-split.

    Inverter Type MiniSplit heating & air conditioning

    I don't think Pioneer's come with quick connect pre-charged linesets (the system is pre-charged for 16' of lineset) so you will need a torque wrench, vacuum pump, micron gauge. There is a method of tightening the flares without a torque wrench that some manufacturers provide (I'll see if I can...

    Timer for 240v DIY COB's

    Does anyone see an issue with using this Intermatic timer to power a string of 240v outlets to control my room? I'm also assuming the Meanwell HLG-185H-C1400 is auto sensing when it comes to voltage. I'm probably only going to have 12-15 of the HLG's on it...

    LEC - Light-Emitting Ceramic

    I'm currently vegging under 3,000k COB's, would the 3,000k LEC bulb be any different or is the 4,000 drastically better?

    How Green Can I Grow in my copycat garden?

    Figured I'd give video a try. The four up front are Flo (Dj Short), the two larger plants in the back are Ace Seeds Zamaldelica and one of their Malawi off to the left. There is also a Cali Connection Green Crack in there too.
