User questions & answers

Question:	Would 2 play 3 speakers sound better then one play 5? I already own a play
Answer:	Yes, you would have true stereo sound and a fuller volume to the room.
Question:	Will this work with a winows os for control or must it be android or applie
Answer:	I use Phonos on Windows Phone and it does the job (if you are asking about actual Windows Mobile 6.5, then there is no app for that). The developers have worked very hard on functionality and are constantly improving it. The main shortcoming is the time it takes to connect to the Sonos network. It can take 5-10 seconds to connect which is annoying, oh, and you must remember to be connected to your local network (so turn the Wi-Fi on).Otherwise, Phone works fine and is worth the $4.99. The Android app is better, but you take what you can get.
Question:	if i buy a sonos 3, have wi-fi in my house, and a pandora account I need nothing else to play music? no bridge, no connectors, no nothing
Answer:	Christina is correct. The bridge is small and everything is easy to set up. I will say, in my opinion the Sonos 5 has superior sound quality, but the 3 is certainly adequate. I have 2 5's and one 3. After purchasing the first one with the bridge, adding the other two was as easy as plugging them in and then following the simple software instructions to add them to the group. I play from my Pandora account and also a number of radio stations. Good luck, enjoy!
Question:	can you plug into this device in addition to it being wireless? does it have an audio port
Answer:	There are no line-in jacks on the Play:3. There's an ethernet port, but that's all.

Stereo sound.

Even if you’re not an all-out audiophile, you still deserve great sound. Play:3 delivers, in stereo. Three Class-D amplifiers and three custom-built drivers create a full, wide sound stage so the instruments and vocals really shine. There’s also a bass radiator to pump out the lows.

Multiple orientations.

Stand it tall or set it on its side. Either way, Play:3 automatically optimizes the sound. When it's horizontal, it's in stereo. When it's vertical, it's in mono. The rubber feet on two sides make it safe for any surface.

3 Smart Steps for Endless Hot Water

Step 1: Determining your average inlet water temperature is important, this allows you to determine how well your unit will perform in your desired location. A lower inlet water temperature will require a higher kilowatt product.

Step 2: Next you will determine how many applications your unit can run simultaneously at your chosen location inlet water temperature. Tankless electric water heaters are sized for maximum simultaneous use, not maximum fixtures in your home.

Step 3: Determining specifications and electrical infrastructure is important because without the correct infrastructure your unit may not fit into your breaker panel.

Product description

This Smart Technology electric tankless water heater is configured as a "whole home" model for one bathroom residences in climates where incoming water temperature is 67°F and above. This model is well suited for heating nearly 1.5 gallons per minute to 105°F at that inlet temperature, which is the equivalent of one water saver shower head. Digital Temperature Control allows you to set your temperature in increments of 1 Degree. This model can also be used in colder climates as a Point of Use for a sink or other low flow application. All tankless water heaters are sized based on flow rate and temperature rise, and there is a direct relationship between the two. So if used in a cold area requiring a high temperature rise, it will be more limited in the amount of fixtures (gallons per minute) it can heat at one time compared to a warmer climate. When sized properly this water heater will provide endless hot water and only consume the energy needed, giving the user complete control. Prior to purchase and installation please verify this model is the right size for the expected demand and electrical requirements. The ECO 8 requires a minimum 100 amp electrical panel for installation with 40 amp double pole breaker connected to set of #8 awg wire. Plumbing connections are 1/2" compression fitting with the option of 1/2" NPT adapter included. For additional assistance please feel free to contact our support center at 877-474-6473.

User questions & answers

Question:	Ecosmart 8, location central texas, home workshop to supply hot water for dog bath and sink. personel use, not a business, 2 big dogs. will this work
Answer:	I have no problem with ice for smoothie. I blend all other ingredients (including about 8 oz liquids - milk and yogurt) then add ice cubes one at a a time. This is easy to do as the blades are at the bottom so ice cubes can be dropped in from the top. May need to press cubes down toward blades with a spoon.
Question:	Product description says #10 wire, reviews all say #8, which is correct
Answer:	As long as you rinse it right away or let it soak for a bit if you're on the go and have to leave right away, it's fine. I am actually impressed by how well stuff does not stick to the inside. What I've been doing is using a long dish washing brush to clean down by the blades and using a regular dishcloth for all the other areas including the rest of the inside. Easy to clean. Hold the little piece on the bottom while scrubbing the blades with the brush so the blades don't move from the brush.
Question:	Could this be used to slowly heat a small above ground pool? Just wanting it warmer
Answer:	The one I received this rubber seal pops out every time you open the lid and it has since day one... Can't even check to see if you're finished without having to stop and try to put the rubber seal back in place which takes a few minutes each and every time.

User questions & answers

Question:	I just returned this smart plug after their tech support told me it could not be used with Kindle Fire. Any good alternatives
Answer:	I used my smart phone to get the app from google play store and set it up. You may be able to use your computer. It works well with the echo it is just a dace to get there. Good luck
Question:	Can you plug in a power strip to this device
Answer:	Yes - however, please bear in mind that toggling the Smart Plug on/off will affect all appliances/devices plugged into the power strip. Please also make sure the total power draw from the appliances/devices connected to the power strip does not exceed the Smart Plug's load specifications: Input voltage: 100 - 120VAC, 15A Output voltage: 100 - 120VAC, 15A Maximum Load: 15A Maximum Power: 1.8KW Regards, TP-Link Support
Question:	What is max wattage of device to be connected to Smart Plug
Answer:	Mine caught on fire with a little 1500 watt space heater, and to compare, my hair dryer is 1875 watts (not plugged into a smart plug of course), so it doesn't take much for these to catch on fire. Be careful if you use anything in it larger than maybe a desk lamp in my opinion. I unplugged all 3 of my kasa smart plugs and won't use them anymore.
Question:	Does this device retain the settings if power is disconnected? Power outage, breaker blown, etc
Answer:	Two parts to this answer... First, yes it retains it's settings if the power is off or it's unplugged. Second, I powered on my lamp then unplugged the unit from the wall. Upon plugging it back in after a couple seconds it turned itself back on (the last state it was in) and within a few more seconds re-connected to my wifi network.Hope this answers peoples questions about power outages and operation...
