Moll. 1,770 Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Is there such a thing (perhaps the visually impaired have?) as an audible alarm you plug into a socket., loud enough to wake you if your electric fails? Is it possible to have the rubber seal around a washing machine door replaced once it has perished? Would a bike puncture repair kit work on a hole in it? Thank you Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is it possible to have the rubber seal around a washing machine door replaced once it has perished? Would a bike puncture repair kit work on a hole in it? Thank you I'd imagine an alarm could be set up quite easy in the event of a power cut. I know of someplace where a generator kicks in when there is a power loss. I wouldn't have thought that the bike repair kit would be waterproof, but its worth a try before you get somebody out. I dont think i've helped at all there Moll.............sorry...

I know you can definitely get your rubber seal replaced, and here's an alarm for power failure - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-POWER-OUT-Power-Failure-Warning-Alarm-Flashlight-/350149838020?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item51868e84c4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob190364 2,594 Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 I wouldn't bother getting someone out for a seal, just order one and do it yourself, can't be difficult. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Moll. 1,770 Posted August 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 ah right........just out of interest, what do you need it for? fish tank or something? The electric here is rather fragile Rob, goes off with wind, heavy rain, snow, or just cos it feels like it I have incubators and electric hens on the go, the last lot of eggs perished due to the power going off through the night, it does happen quite a bit like i say but the last time it must have gone off not long after going to bed and eggs were stone cold in the morning. If it had been the colder weather the chicks under the leccy hen would possibly have perished also. I had a back up battery several years ago for the PC, when the leccy went out it used to give off a loud alarm, have tried looking for one on the PC, but cannot find any with the alarm description? So something like that, it does not need to be specifically for the job needed (if you get my drift?) just as long as it gives off a loud alarm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you could find a cheap one of these it would do the job and you definitely wouldn't sleep through that . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moll. 1,770 Posted August 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Not daft at all Rob, exactly the kind of thing i am on about....something not designed for the job, but does it anyway. Although i do not have the foggiest what you are on about..camera, monitor ?? Does the baby monitor have a camera on it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
