The "aqua-stop" could be hooked up to a foot pad switch from a sewing machine, this would allow washing of hands in a shop sink without getting dirt/grease on the tap
I've studied and read every piece of information I can find about how to electronics and the working of components but I could never begin to explain things as well as you nor do I have the understanding of the inner workings of things like yourself! Good work
This video is of exceptional quality loaded with great ideas to repurpose an appliance that would normally be junk. Thanks so much for tickling my brain with new and exciting ideas!👍👍
I like this idea, mostly because any timer or automatic watering device is already commercially available. The only benefit to building it yourself is that you could get it for free.
This is a very clear and appropriately detailed guide to an appliance's components and their potential uses; excellent work. I just replaced my dishwasher and found your channel while preparing to salvage parts from the old one. Looking forward to exploring the rest of your content. Thank you!
Excellent video. I do a weekly dumpster dive which my wife dreads, but the parts are awesome. Always useful. Thanks for the interesting knowledge - as always!
That Aquastop hose was pretty interesting. All the dishwashers in New Zealand I have dealt with have the water solenoid mounted internally and a simple pressure hose connects it to the supply. However recently in the hardware store I saw a product that was described as an Aquastop hose for a washing machine or dishwasher. It was the same principle - the main feed hose inside another one in case the internal one bursts, but it was just a hose with 3/4" threaded couplers on the ends. One thing to remember with these appliance solenoids though is they are not designed for continuous duty, so are only suitable for applications where it's just a brief supply of water to refill a container etc
Thanks. I see machines on the curb all the time, and think about recycling them for $, but hadn't thought about making controllers for the pumps, and then using those for hydroponics until now. In fact, the cabinets could be used for reservoirs, and there's already sensors. I don't know exactly what I want to do, but you're helping prime my creativity.
Ich freu mich schon sehr auf deine nächsten Videos, denn du bist wahrscheinlich die erste Person auf RU-vid, die Schweißinverter so richtig erklärt! Also immer weiter so!
Awesome, interesting and educative video as always. Thanx for all your effort. Keep on the good work. :) I've already played a bit with solenoid valve. In Poland it's most commonly called an "electrovalve". I like to disassemble equipment so such videos are like a time of relax and enjoyment to me. :) I appreciate your precise attitude to present different topics in your videos. The idea, the view of the object at hand and your narration - everything just fits perfectly. Congratulations on such quality of your videos.
Excellent repurposing job! Love the idea of the stainless work surface on top. It's a tremendously satisfying feeling to be able to make something useful out of something useless.
I know this is an old video but seeing the bowl and pump assembly you constructed in action gave me an idea for you. You could use it with a (plastic safe) solution or solvent and build a very efficient parts washer. Would be great if you could find an old “Texas style” barbecue/smoker, seal it well, add a screen or mesh at the bottom of of the tube where your coals to keep the sludge below where your parts stay, a shelf and filter system for the inlet. You could add a stud wife or something to the exhaust hose so you could position it above the part so it could clean by continuing to run over the item. And close the lid to keep noise and dimension down. Basically a parts washer lol. Sorry for the ramble but you are very inspiring. Thank you sir.
it's because of videos like this that my wife sometimes refers to me as the junkman... :) so many ideas, so little time. Bravo sir, you are an inspiration!
A dishwasher frame could be used for a sandblasting or spray painting cage. It also reminds me of a powder coating oven, but that'd require substantial modifications.
At home we have pretty much the exact same dishwasher, the colour of the front plastic panel is different, ours has three wire trays but the button layout and everything else is exactly the same. It still runs like a champ!
Excellent video, as usual! I've played with NTC thermistors a bit. They are highly non-linear in their response, as you noted. To convert from resistance (or voltage from your voltage divider) to temperature, often look-up tables are used in the microcontroller. These look-up table values can be found experimentally, or derived mathematically from three data points, using the Steinhart-Hart equation.
Thanks in a million. Great content. Awesome. Very well explained. I couldn't find this explanation--simply put anywhere else. Great teachers are hard to find. Grade: A++💥
Merry Christmas, my good man. I also love using or reusing things I come across in my travels. People don't understand why I love playing with junk. But I don't want new things from the shops. I want to make new things from what I find.
Thank you . I have been waiting for this video about 2 years. The wife wants me to make her a fountain from my junk pile that's what she calls my parts shead.
I had a thought during the video for gaining a water tight seal on the pump. Since you are using heat to help form the plastic around the fittings maybe you can line the plastic with hot glue as the buffer. I recall that this technique is already used by some heat shrink tubing manufacturers to achieve water tight outdoor electrical insulation solutions. Thanks for the videos!
Great video. Although some of what you present with the electronics is a level of understanding a bit above mine I enjoy watching & learning. If more people had the mindset that we & others that watch your channel & mine & many other similar channels our land fills would be a fraction of what they are today. Stay well, Joe Z
Moin. Ich muss mal was anmerken. Dein Englisch und - Wortschatz ist wirklich sehr sehr gut. Macht richtig Laune. Nebenbei die richtigen englischen Begriffe lernen die zu den Maschinen gehören! Exellent as always! Thanks for showing your work and explaining your thought process along. We'll done😎👍
Those german dishwashers are awesome, I would use those parts to make a aquaponics system. It could be used to control an eb and flow system. To get the absolute benefits from growing food in aquaponics is achieved through automation. I've wanted to convert a dishwasher to a parts washer and that SS tub would be perfect as long as the pump could stand up to the more viscous fluid .
Nice update thank you for sharing! Is there a pressure limit to what the aqua stop can handle? I was amazed at how quiet the pump was. It would make a great aquaponics pump for indoor use. I will keep an eye out for trashed dish washers now. Cheers
+jhn seda the "Aqua Stop" or solenoid valve as it'd be more commonly called, would need to be rated for mains pressure, so probably around 10bar (~140psi).
Exactly what I did with the pump from our last dishwasher (Bosch). Now circulates water from a 330 gallon pond in a greenhouse to the 2 GrowBeds on top (made from the angle iron frames of 2 old queen size beds and some stainless sheet). Decommissioned at the moment because the greenhouse needs work but has worked great for nearly 3 years.
If possible could you message the name of the polymer adhesive ? I have had a lot of trouble finding an adhesive that works on polymers and or plastics . Thank You and God Bless
Hi TPAI, Thanks for all your great videos. I just wondered if that dishwasher with all the shiny surfaces could have served as a solar oven? Thank you.
Wonderful video. I wish I have the time and understanding to recycle my miele which I have to dump. I felt the pain of wastage. If the aqua stop is small enough I can use it refill my coffee machine.
Confession. There is something wrong with every single one of my kitchen appliances. I have a technician coming tomorrow, but secretly I'm hoping they're doomed so that I can take them all apart and play with the pieces. Thank you for feeding my curiosity.
I use an Aquastop like that to dispense water into the bread maker. This way I only need to put in the dry ingredients and it goes to work while I sleep. There were actually two mechanisms inside the Aquastop, that magnetic valve and some kind of pressure activated valve after it. I just cut it in half to remove that second mechanism.
Dishwashers make great stackable storage once the inner crap is gone & anything else i can get scrap money from. You'd love my place as only a fellow horder would understand with all the treasures i have stored. I use dishwashers for storing lpg gas bottles outside. I mainly do scrap metaling by picking up what people illegally dump i.e washing machines,fridges,freezers,microwaves,bikes. Tools don't normally get dumped. That said they do get thrown out at local transfer stations (rubbish that gets sorted into categories of metals & other classes for recycling) The stuff that gets dumped is astounding ,even new stuff. It's a bloody sacrilege
I've been using my circulation pump for a few weeks now set up on a Wi-Fi timer of 30m On 30m Off and I find it strange you didn't just make a simple rubber coupling and just clamp it to a 20mm and 25mm pipe made from the rubber and clamps already there? Anyways great video. Thank you heaps. I should note the motors also have a thermal shutoff chip? inside them (shown on the diagrams) I was hoping you would mention and demo that because I'm a lil worried the thermal switch is going to activate to many times through the Australian summer heat
