We had a leak and the hot tub repairman came and claimed he fixed it and charge me $200. The next day I noticed water still coming from the same spot as before. The leak is really slow but its still coming out. The repairman said its very common for another leak to come after one has been fixed. Does anyone know if this is true? I don't want to have to pay again to fix this leak if maybe there is a chance that he didn't even fix the first.
It can hurt, and it can kill. If you get hit, you could be washed up for life.
The pressure you use to attack a fire can range anywhere from 100 psi up to 250 psi. the majority of attack lines operate around 100-150 psi and yes they can knock you down and yes they do hurt, especially if hit in sensitive areas. we try and not to hit people with water streams if possible, but sometimes it happens and I can tell you from experience that it does hurt. we take the hydrant pressure (50-120 psi) and flow it through a pump to boost the pressure not the volume up to a good working pressure 100-250 depending on the needs required then out through the nozzle. hope this answers your question!
If you're such a professional, I'd think you'd know better than us when it comes to such matters. That's like a professional mechanic asking about what kind of tools to buy. So, are you actually a true professional or just a head buster for a gang or organized crime? A question for you, when you file your income taxes, how do you list your income, as A$$kicking for fee? And do you claim the cost of your Ultimate Long Coat Of A$$kicking as a deduction? If you don't file or don't report your a$$kicking income, then you can call yourself anything you want except a true professional because that you're not. Have a good day!
my answer is go to the auto repair shop then you will check it out maybe there a problem..
There is a lot of pressure. Yes, it can hurt. If I remember correctly, the pressure from a hydrant is around 45 PSI. The pumper truck is connected to the hydrant. The pumper has a pump, hense the name, that increases the pressure to around 75-100 PSI, as I remember. That might be way off. In any event, it is a lot of pressure. Especially since there is a tremendous amount of volume of water. They sometimes use a fire hose in riot control. It can knock people down, literally. If a fire hose gets loose and is turned on, the nossle whips around, out of control. It can break a leg, or cause even worse damage or injury. In practice drills, there is a person with a cuttoff valve ready to instantly cut the water flow if the hose gets dropped.
