DX, Dan or whatever your name is, you are a piss ant. The inside of your enclosures don't even have bushings. Your gang-boxes will come loose very easilly. The cheap GE/Intermatic timers you use are garbage, over 30% failure rate. I don't care about getting banned. You copy my website like a child.
Now lets look at this unit, where are your bushings, is that 16awg wire you're using for the receptacles.
Isn't that another one of your pix on a wiring tutorial showing neutral/ground bond in a loadcenter.
Good luck on your kit selling on your new website, isn't it just a copy of your 4 or 5 loadcenters you've ever built.
Mods, ban me if you wish.
OLYVER (GROO, DB, Douche-Bag Darryl or whatever your name is),
My website was posted months ago before I knew what a "Candian Hobby Box" was. I found your website only after a Canadian customer told me he was considering buying a flip from you and asked me to look. I actually told him your stuff looked good (which I regret now because I'm sure you have NEVER done the same). In the post that I pointed out your neutral bonded to the enclosure, if you look back you will see that I also said your work looked really nice & complimented you on the gang-boxes & heavy-duty mechanical contruction. If not for the bonded neutral that box was perfect. You will also recall that the only reason I posted that in the first place was after you bashed my work and also allowed Underground to go on about the 5-15R plugs knowing that almost every manufacturer has done the same at one time, including you! Other industries have trade associations, networking sites, etc. -I would be interested in talking to other panel builders without talking down their work. I could NEVER, EVER imagine you being part of such a thing because you have probably badmouthed every manufacturer there is!
And, that is actually 12 ga wire connecting the loads and 14 ga connecting the controls. Bushings: Would be a good idea but they are not needed because these devices are meant to be mounted to a wall -not in a van. Same goes for using rigid nipples instead of box connectors. I'll certainly admit that your boxes can surely withstand some abuse and are mechanically overbuilt (a good thing) but the thing is that I am producing panels that do the exact same thing as yours at a much lower cost. If somebody wants a panel they can throw down a flight of stairs, I would accomodate the request but it seems like a waste of time. Oh, I have not build many flips -I previously thought they were a waste of steel until recently seeing some non-conventional uses.
I have seen your posts badmouthing Powerbox, CAP, Horticontrol, etc. -I'm sure there are others.
And I would never copy your website unless I wanted to look like an illiterate moron or somebody studying english as a second language.
Bonded Neutral: The picture you posted was not of one of my panels & you knew that which is an example of your typical sales technique of misrepresenting and twisting the facts to make other manufacturers look bad in an attempt to make you look good. Didn't your mama teach you that doesn't work but almost always backfires and makes you look like the troll that you are? Posting a picture I used as an example of the readers main panel ground/neutral buss is underhanded and a downright lie.
Here is the 240 volt wiriing tutorial where you copied the picture -Read the caption below the pic:
Do you think your customers are stupid? I think you do -I've seen your answers to posts in this and other forums. I've seen you pose as a customer to spam your site while badmouthing your "competition" -Just be honest -and sell your products on their own merit -there's no need to dis' others. It's not right unless you are pointing out a potential safety issue like I did to NGW about their 30A controller in my "why four prongs" doccument seen here:
BTW: I contacted NGW about the potential hazard of ther three-prong, 120/240v design long before using the pic -they need to fix it before something happens and it becomes a liability or somebody gets killed.
>Those timers are not Jasco/GE or intermatic -they are Utilitech (Woods/Coleman Cable also sells the same timer but they also sell the Jasco POS) The Utilitech & Woods timers with the button in the center are very reliable timers for our purpose. The Honeywell/Aube timers are also very reliable. Both have exceptional interference resistance and will last for years.
As far as those being the only controllers I ever built... Whatever, DBD -You don't need to know the volume of business I do but I can tell you that I am very well versed in the NEC, have a much better education than you (if your spelling and grammar are any indication), probably more electrical experience, and have overseen some very large projects over the years. I build these controllers because I believe in and support the MM cause and was able to resume a normal life, after two years of heavy-duty pain killer prescriptions, because of a caregiver providing high grade MM at a reasonable price (my first DX Hydro customer). The caregivers deserve to be able to buy controllers that will keep their garden safe without paying for overpriced crap they don't need. If one of my controllers or something somebody reads on my website save a life someday, I've also got some good karma coming -maybe a couple more years of pain-free existance.
So, you might want to rethink your whole attitude & try to quit acting like a douche-bag, be a little nicer to people and let your products sell because of the care that goes into them rather than by badmouthing everybody elses work. People see right through the retarded rhetoric and the lies. You build nice stuff and your attention to detail is obvious & if I was a grower I might buy one of your products -That is until you opened your mouth!
