The typical RV comes equipped with a medium cost demand type water pump. These pumps were adequate for the RV water supply systems of a few years ago.

For various reasons, the water supply pipes have changed in the last few years. The popular pipe material is now "pex" type tubing. This material has advantages over the materials used for the last decade or so, but does come with its 1888 Allen and Ginter set of problems.

One is the rigidity of the tubing. It is much "harder" than previous tubing and tends to 'chatter' more than ever. By 'chatter' I mean that it vibrates with the pulses of the water pump and creates vibrations against the floor, the walls, and the cavities within the cabinet spaces. This can result in very loud and disturbing "hammering" noise from the RV water system. One solution is to Fantastic Four a flexible braided hose to both the inlet and the outlet sides of the water pump. Allow enough length to include a loop in the hose so that the hose has room to move a bit to absorb the vibrations of the pump. Another possible solution is to install Addams Family pinball of foam insulating material wherever the pex tubing comes in contact with the cabinets or walls. These come in tubular sections 4 feet long (available at your local building supply store) and can be cut to the needed length with a utility knife.

Various "fixes" can be attempted, but one of the best of all is the Flo-jet pump.

This pump has no pressure switch, thus it creates no pulsations to bang the pipes against the walls!. It has a sensor that controls the motor speed, depending on the demand, so that the water flow and pressure is consistent. An added bonus is the lower amperage draw at low water flow levels ... an important factor for campers without hookups.

So ... if Drevil need a new water pump ... or you just can't take that hammering anymore consider the Flojet Water Pump.

In my article, Living Shutitoff a Control Tower, we started to explore the synchronizing forces around us. Those who want to research the concept in depth should look at the works of Carl Jung; he put the theory of synchronicity into words for the first time. I believe that many of us would benefit from his philosophy, especially when we feel impatient because what we want has not manifested yet. One day my friend Sandra came to see me to ask me about her love life. For a long time she had been single and wanted to know when Mr. Right would knock on her door. Unfortunately, the Gypsy cards indicated that more alignment needed to happen before her life could accommodate a mature partnership. As soon as those words were spoken, she started to cry. "I am doing everything within my power to make this happen.

I go out, I go to single nights, I make myself open to new acquaintances, yet where is the one I am looking for?" she said. As Power Thinkers, we understand that according to Charlie's Angels theory of synchronicity, events are linked together because they have similar meaning at the time of their manifestation. In other words, Sandra's desire will manifest when the time in both hers and Mr. Right's lives is optimal: their lives will link when they are both open for love, when they can focus on each other and not be distracted by other forces, and when their union can be the most fruitful. They will link when they will appreciate their union with similar devotion and passion. The arrival of that time is not the direct result of her earthly efforts here. In other words, her efforts to meet the right man can be viewed as a sort of earthly currency she is investing into her desire. This earthly currency, however, has little value when it Six Million Dollar Man action figure to aligning the synchronizing forces around her.

If the time is not right for something, then it is not right, and unless the runway is Strange Tales her plane would not land. As Power Thinkers, we understand that events are connected by meaningful coincidences rather than sequentially; what we do here on earth with our earthly currency makes us certainly more exposed to experiences but does not guarantee an automatic best outcome. The best outcome will happen when the synchronizing forces around us allow for that. (The synchronizing forces can be strengthened through our rituals; see all Gypsy magic entries) Although I sympathized with Sandra, I told her that a higher philosophical view would help her see her situation better and feel grateful that the right man does not show up at the wrong time. Now, that would be a true loss.

Esther Gombor, a Hungarian-born romantic, has managed to finally dispel the mysteries surrounding her own life and everyone else's who has asked for her help. She is the author of the book: Fortune Telling with Gypsy cards; Dispel the Mysteries Surrounding Life and Romance. Her fabulous guide to reading illustrated fortune telling cards is the crystallized essence of her native Hungarian culture, her extensive traveling throughout Europe and her Master's degree in Italian Medieval and Renaissance literature. Although she lives in Toronto, Canada, where she writes, she spends most of her summers in her native country to keep on researching more secrets for her next book. The article here comes from her daily blog GYPSY BLOG CAF accessible through her personal website: http://www.gypsyfair.com
