Since BoshartU was created in March of 2019, 360 articles have been written and published. Articles range anywhere from proper installation practices, to busting products myths, to videos showcasing a variety of products. Whatever you needed to know, BoshartU was there to help.

In this blog, we will take a look at the three most popular blogs (according to blog views) and we will highlight some of the key thoughts including in those articles. Let's get started.
Released on December 18th, 2019, Thread Sealant Tape: Where and How to Properly Use it was released and now has over 93,000 blog views. This blog contains information about thread sealant tape including what it is, the variety of options available and some tips on how to properly wrap it.
An important snippet from the article;
"An important thing to remember is that PTFE tape should not be used when connecting PVC fittings or valves with a female (FPT) thread. If the tape is used on female connections, a wedging action can occur which will cause major stress on the joint during assembly.
PTFE tape does not guarantee a leak free connection. Make sure you always inspect the connections with water pressure to confirm that the connection is not leaking."
Premium and Specialty PTFE tapes are available and are created for specific uses. For example, you can purchase a Gray Stainless Steel tape that is to be used specifically with stainless steel. This tape has nickel pigment colour added which ensures it is good to be used with all stainless steel fittings.

A blog created with a step-by-step guide with tips to help adjust your standard pressure switch. The blog also includes information on how to properly adjust the cut in and why monitoring your pressure switch is so important.
Let's take a look at a section of this blog;
"Another factor that you should consider is the switches are not individually tested which means if you get a switch that is 30-50 PSI it could possibly be 28-48 PSI. Pressure switches could also stick sometimes, so it could possibly come on 1 or 3 PSI different from one cycle to the next. Ambient pressure can also raise the pre-charge in the tank. These are just some things to be aware of."
Adjusting a pressure switch can be a tricker task, this blog is designed to break down the steps, making the process as simple and straight forward as possible. If you are needing help adjusting your standard pressure switch or adjusting the cut in, take a look at the entire blog, here.
