Question:

This is a question about a fire extinguisher..please help!?

Let's say a fire extinguisher was filled with pellets composed of carbon dioxide that expanded on contact with air and the pellets were coated with a material that dissolved on contact with water, and there was a valve of water that was released when a pin was pulled. The water dissolved the coating and the carbon pellets mixed with the water. The water and carbon pellets would then be forced up a siphon tube and out a nozzle. The water would remove the heat from the fire and the carbon dioxide would remove the oxygen. Please tell me, would this work, what kind of carbon pellets should be used of the fire extinguisher described above were to become a reality.

Answer:

Wheel bearings and seals, which holds the bearings in place
The water pressure is fairly typical. When demand is low, generally at night, the pressure of the main water line becomes high. This is not a problem as long as you have a pressure reducer at your service connection which usually limits the pressure to about 50 psi.
