CM: What would you say makes your JON-E-VAC (Cont'd. from p. 1) began with his thought, in the late '90s, that there had to be a way to remove unpleasant odor from bathrooms. He also hypothesized that these odors could not be healthy (a fact that was later verified), and this idea launched the product that revolutionized bathroom sanitation. Working on turning his concept into a marketable product began in Jim's twocar garage, and the first product came out in early 2000. JON-E-VAC Corporation was officially launched in 2004. Evolution of the JON-E-VAC T oilet Ventilation System The first JON-E-VAC Toilet Ventilation Zoeller (Cont'd. from p. 1) send unwanted water into your basement. Depending on the water table in your area, the frequency of rain, how close your home is to a body of water, the elevation of your property, etc., you may find standing water in your basement. Standing ankle-deep in a soggy basement is not the time to figure out what to do about it. Zoeller Company has been building pumps to handle residential and commercial water removal for 75 years. Here are the answers to the most common questions about the role of sump pumps in keeping valuable below grade living spaces dry. What is the most common misperception about sump pumps among plumbers? The most common misconception people have about sump pumps is that the bigger the pump, the better. There is no substitute for the right pump in the right application. What types of sump pumps are there? At the most basic level, there are two residential millwork and recreational vehicle construction. Trevor Wiebe, Business Manager at Elias Woodwork, recently spoke of the company's view on color trends in the kitchen and bath industry. "We understand the important role that kitchen and bath cabinetry plays in defining a home's personality. Research has shown that over 80 percent of purchases are made based on color. Having a large color selection on a greater number of wood species is essential in today's rapidly changing market. With the consumer's ability to experience different colors, wood species and textures through mediums such as the Internet and magazines, the marketplace goes through the inthing at an alarmingly fast pace, very quickly creating an appetite for somecompany unique?

SM: We have a complete lineup of 1.6- System was geared towards central systems, but Jim soon wanted to make this technology more easily available to people. Thus, the JON-E-VAC Retrofit model was born. The 24V Retrofit System can be operated by remote control, light sensor or can be run on continuous mode. This popular system, for both residential and commercial use, is easy to install, is available in many styles and fits all standard toilets. JONE-VAC uses a specially designed charcoal filter to remove offensive bacteria and odor. This was also tested and verified by an independent laboratory. The total bathroom experience is made more pleasant and hygienic. In the last two years, the central types of sump pumps: pedestal and submersible. A pedestal variety of sump pump has a motor mounted on the shaft of the pump system (and outside of the sump pit). These are ideal for smaller sump pits where the motor cannot come in contact with water. A submersible variety of sump pump – the most common type – has a motor contained inside the pump housing and the whole unit is installed below water level. A typical submersible sump pump is quieter and less obtrusive than a pedestal type, ideal for finished basements, and typically lasts longer than its pedestal counterpart. Many sump pump failures have been float-related. What can a homeowner do to avoid this problem? Often times a sump pump failure can be related to float obstruction, i.e. buildup on the float or debris in the sump pit inhibiting the float from triggering the pump on. Most commonly, a simple repositioning of the pump or clearing of the pit can resolve the problem. Occasionaly a float may need to be thing new. This rapidly changing taste in style has forced large and small cabinet companies to have access to a larger selection of stain, paint and glaze colors and techniques on a larger selection of wood species than ever. Our color styling experts keep pace with the latest trends in fashion, architecture and home furnishings. Our collaboration with worldrenowned color experts, including those in the stain/paint business segments, gives us a distinct advantage in this area. This knowledge, in turn, enables our customers to offer the most desirable products to the marketplace."

Watch for its soon-to-be- 61 released new selection of solid color lacquers.

JON-E-VAC Moves Forward The company continues to evolve under Jim Sollami's guidance. The new Retrofit How does one check a sump pump for proper operation? To ensure your pump is operating correctly, regular inspection of the pump/sump pit is recommended. It is fairly easy to determine whether or not your pump is operating normally. In a "normal pump cycle," the sump pit fills with water, the float rises to trigger the pump on, the pump turns on and the water level drops. To simulate this, fill your sump pit with water. If you do not witness a "normal pump cycle" for any reason, you may have spotted an issue that needs further attention. There aren't too many areas in the west with basements. What are some good applications for sump pumps in those areas? Other than just in a typical basement sump pit, a sump/dewatering pump can be used in most any application in which water must be moved from one place to another.
