Good one Fred. A former student-assistant here found a portable shower-head with a short hose, and a rubber thing that fits over faucets on the other end. It worked just fine, until the janitorial head who spawned the idea by refusing to grant us keys for four years running, retired and put an end to all our ingenious fun. :>) Anyone progress with ideas for porting the water from room to room? Until Otto divulges the authentic "fire-fighters nickname" for the back-pack unit he described in Dallas, we're doomed to toting a 10 gallon garbage can up and down hallways on a 4-wheeled cart. best regards, Mark Cramer, Brandon University -----Original Message----- From: caut-bounces@ptg.org [mailto:caut-bounces@ptg.org]On Behalf Of Fred Sturm Sent: Tuesday, August 19, 2003 5:30 PM To: caut@ptg.org Subject: filling Dampp-Chasers Keeping a bunch of Dampp-Chaser systems filled is a bit of a task. It's nice to use a large tank of some sort, but getting water into the tank from an available faucet can be a challenge. A key (or access) to the janitors closet can help, but it is often far away from the systems needing water. I just came up with a solution to this problem that fit my budget (didn't cost a red cent): an old bicycle innertube (the smaller, "English" style, as opposed to fat, "mountain bike"). One cut, and it turns into a hose that fits over a faucet quite nicely. Innertubes do have a white powder (probably talc) inside, so need to be flushed. But it saved me a few minutes this morning. Regards, Fred Sturm University of New Mexico PS Best to avoid modern innertubes filled with "Slime" (a green substance used to stop flats). I'm not sure you could flush that stuff out. _______________________________________________ caut list info: https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives
