Got a new Ryobi 2800 psi 2.3 GPM pressure washer ($289), and fired it up yesterday. Quite nice for the regular joe homeowner, and the price was right. Works like a charm, one pull start. Even idles down when not washing.  |

My only DIY interest lies in watching Alison Victoria on Kitchen Crashers. What a body on this chick.   Is this fine lass Greek, per chance? |

I believe what you hear, and I am no expert so I could be wrong, is the water squirting out of the ball valve on the handle at high pressure prior to the in line restrictor. Like noted by others, all faucets have restrictors, some in the head and some midway in the line. The one handle faucets use a something similar to a half ball valve with two holes, one allows hot and the other cold, and as you lift the handle you open and close flow restricting and manual. Now if you are reducing the flow below what the in line restrictors allows, the water simply flows free and does not back up in the line, another wards their is air between the ball valve and the inline restrictor and the pressure of the water squirting threw the ball valve into this chamber is what you hear, I think. No differed than a hose that you put your finger over the edge to restrict water, it is lauder. When you are at full blast the water backs up behind the restrictor filling the whole void with water masking any sound.
I think

Ok so has anyone put down subfloor in a cement basement? looking to put down something that would be mold reducing. We expanded the downstairs shower; the tiles can't take the punishment, and the plywood is rotting. Is there a solution that would let me have a solid floor there? (besides ripping out & re-do the plywood every 4 years) |

(besides ripping out & re-do the plywood every 4 years) Hopefully you have 3/4" plywood. Screw down 1/4" cement board on top of that. Screw it down every 6" oc. Then make sure your shower basin is properly flashed and sealed and watertight. No water, no rot. |
