    Minimum length for dryer duct and best ducting material

    I agree with Yogi Keep the duct as short and straight as possible. I very recently replaced my duct with new semi rigid duct with collared ends, which make connections MUCH easier. Then used aluminum tape at all the connection points for no air leaks. I see a difference in drying time...

    Detergent Intervention

    I don't see anything wrong with what you have either. I have not tried any Pods yet, but I do have a few liquids on hand. Tide Ultra stain release is very good, I use that on stains mainly. Recently got a few small bottles of Persil, pro-clean regular scent, and a 2-in-1 which I have used...

    Classic sprinkler experts

    correction to my last post I checked closer into my Rain King K-2 sprinklers, and I need to make a correction. There is a bearing Sleeve in all of them that I over looked. A few of mine do a little wobbling when spinning, but all work correctly otherwise. With the age and usage they all have...
