Have you asked TapaTalk why they don't support viewing widescreen videos?

Because phone screens aren't big enough, letterboxing would be what you have now.

Assuming you mean wide enuf, don't they know that most mobile phones (AFAIK) can auto-turn the video when you turn the phone 90 degrees.

Tapatalk doesn't support our "youtubewide" tag because it's not a common BBCode tag that sites use at all. It's something I made up on the fly. Tapatalk doesn't know how to interpret it.

I don't either, but I do know that most mobile phones can auto-adjust video when turned on it's side. Not sure if pillarboxed video is stretched to fit the viewing area though.

How in hell does he know where the road is? Or is the road where he puts it?

Good question. There are telephone poles or something off to the side, so that gets him in the vicinity, and I also noticed footprints or maybe a snowmobile track in front of him that he might have been following. Also, he backs up a bit every now and then, and maybe that gives him a view of the road surface. Although it looks like it's the grader behind him that's actually scraping down to the blacktop. So I really don't know.
Very cool video though. |

An obstructed inlet screen, that will definitely reduce the flow. But, at what point in the cycle? Your (anyone's) dishwasher gets a volume of water, then recirculates it, soapy water definitely, but I can't imagine the spray from even the straight rinse cycle is using only the water pressure from the house. You may well have an inlet screen that needs cleaning, but that low pressure jet... It seems like there are additional restrictions. You said that you have lots more footage. What does the spray pattern / pressure look like in the middle of the wash cycle? When the inlet screen is not a factor.

The inlet valve on the GE dishwasher has a screen before it on the water supply side. A timer opens the valve for 90 seconds to allow 90 seconds worth of water into the dishwasher. A couple gallons. There is a float switch that shuts the inlet valve before 90 seconds if too much water gets in, but there is no device to prevent too little water from getting in. GE tells you in the guts of the owner's manual that if you have low water pressure, you should purchase an optional high capacity valve (so more water will come in during the 90 seconds.)
Once that water is in the dishwasher, the dishwasher recirculates it for the duration of the cycle. After the cycle, a discharge pump pumps the water out, and if a new cycle is starting, the inlet valve opens up again to let new water in. During recirculation, the water is strained through a grate, a grinding blade, and then a screen before entering the recirculation pump to keep big chunks of food from clogging the pump. [Edit: these parts can get coated with grease and slime and food particles over time, and cloddfobble's cleaner, as well as manually removing the grate and washing it every couple years is probably a good idea. There are actually a couple grates you can clean in my DW.] In my dishwasher, if I am correct, the inlet valve screen is blocked with 15 years worth of sand and sediment and not enough fresh water is entering the dishwasher during those 90 seconds at the beginning of the cycle. The pump is starved of water and is blowing air at times. The lack of water and water power results in dirty dishes. I'll have a chance this weekend to dig into the valve to see if I'm correct. The new part arrived yesterday and below is a picture of the screen on a brand new clean valve. It's actually a big screen because it's very concave by about an inch. More like a screen basket than a screen. Last edited by glatt; 05-06-2016 at 10:06 AM. |

And this is the overview of the part.
That whole fat plastic area behind the brass fitting is full of screen. It's a big screen, and I think GE knows it's going to get clogged eventually, so they make it as big as possible in the part. Last edited by glatt; 05-06-2016 at 10:12 AM. |
