Rain Bird 075 ASVF Review

February 21, 2024March 17, 2014 by Nathan B

by Brett Thomas

If you are looking for an anti-siphon valve for your sprinkler system, the Rain Bird 075 ASVF is a great option. This unique valve comes with a lot of great features. It’s 3/4-Inch, and a combination of an electric control valve and atmospheric backflow preventer all in one. If you are looking for an anti-siphon valve, this one is definitely worth checking out.

What is a Rain Bird 075 Anti-Siphon Valve with Filter?

Almost every home has a water supply that can trace its source to a city water line. It then enters a cross-connection. One connection goes into your house for drinking and bath water, and the other line remains outside for irrigation water. Just after this connection, at the end of the pipe is where the anti-siphon valve goes. The anti-siphon valve serves two functions. It’s an electric remote control valve for your sprinkler system and a backflow preventer. The backflow preventer keeps bad irrigation water from entering the drinking water which goes into your home. The other function of the anti-siphon valve is responsible for holding water under pressure for your sprinkler lines. It opens and releases water to your lines when your control center for the sprinkler system tells it to. The Rain Bird 075 ASVF offers another feature in that it comes equipped with a filter designed to keep your lines clean of dirt and debris.

Power Drill Life Hack – Easy Shower Cleaning

February 21, 2024January 3, 2014 by Nathan B

by Brett Thomas

With good reason, people these days are all about finding clever ways to make their lives easier. In the age of the internet, these methods have come to be known as “life hacks”. Yesterday I was browsing one of my favorite social media sites and came across this awesome idea. Caution: I would only use this method to clean real tile. Most other materials probably aren’t equipped to withstand the harsh friction. Maybe try a “magic eraser”.

Steel wool + power drill = no elbow grease required. Honestly, cleaning a shower is a difficult task, particularly if it’s been a long time. Not only will this save you a lot of effort, but I imagine that it makes the project go a lot quicker. You could even take the Tom Sawyer approach and trick your kids into thinking this is fun and get them to do it for you (or at least get them to clean their own bathroom).

Delta Touch2O.xt Review

February 21, 2024October 14, 2013 by Nathan B

Delta 751T-RB-DST Dryden Venetian Bronze

by Cliff Kimber

The Delta Faucet Company has a new product on the market that exemplifies everything you could want in a faucet. Unlike traditional faucets that limit you to a simple handle or two for turning on and off water flow, Delta’s Touch₂O.xt faucets give you three different options to start and stop the water flow. The original Touch₂O faucets Delta introduced in 2008 utilize technology similar to that found on smartphones. This feature efficiently delivers precise, responsive control with a touch to the spout or handle.

Delta was the first on the market to bring this type of faucet to the home, and they have been leading the way in research and design of touch and hands-free faucets ever since. These Touch₂O Faucets continue to grow in popularity because they make working around the sink so much more convenient. Keeping faucets clean even when hands are dirty is just one of those improvements.

Offering Help to Oklahoma Tornado Victims

After suffering $2 billion in damage, the devastated regions of Oklahoma were in need of help rebuilding their communities. With corporate headquarters in Utah, it was difficult for PlumbersStock to offer any direct help. We were able to brainstorm and come up with one way to lend a hand. Residents of the affected regions have been forced to repair and even rebuild their damaged homes and places of business. We carry a lot of the products they need to accomplish this, so to help, we offered 20% discounts across the board to those who suffered. PlumbersStock is proud to do what we can to aid our neighbors to the east and are glad that it was helpful to the individuals who took advantage of the promotion. We are pleased to have taken a small part in helping to rebuild the great Sooner state
