By unconnecting the hose to the float valve tube, i was able to pull the mechanism partially out of the round well inside the salt tank. My older float valve from a house I owned years ago you could visually see the float mechanism bouncing up and down. On my new float valve, I think there is...

I bought a unit from my local vendor that was sourced from Nelson Corp. It came with the float valve shown. I was getting a lot of air in my shower head and investigated if my float valve was open/ closed as designed. I shook it and didn’t feel the “float” bouncing. I shook it harder and it...

I did the WS1. No regrets from a DIY’er. Easy to maintain and program.

I had low water flow throughout the house but when my water softener was bypassed, full pressure again. I unscrewed my Clack valve from the resin tank and reached in and got a sample of the resin. Instead of being firm little beads, the beads were mushy and easy to break. I flushed out the old...

I recently replaced two American Standard toilets with Toto Ultramax II. Best thing I ever did. The AS were crap. They never flushed right and constantly needed 2nd and 3rd flush. Toto is a a true one flush toilet.

I found the NSF gravel using google. Guess what? It's cheaper than aquarium gravel!

I bought my gravel at the local aquarium store. It was clean but I went ahead and rinsed the gravel anyways. I figured the gravel would be free from any bad contaminants or the fish would die.

I'm going to suggest something. If your wife is a big paper user, give some consideration to a washlet. At our household, our paper consumption was cut drastically. No more money down the drain! I felt like we were buying toilet paper by the boxcar. Plus they are a perfect match for a Toto...

Terry is the head man. :) Can't go wrong with the Toto UltraMax II from my experience. Add a washlet and now you are the king!

I'm not familiar with that type of elbow and hose configuration. What is the manufacturer of that? It looks like it's a possible restriction. Also is that a sharkbite fitting next to your Clack by-pass assembly?

This is what I used for my water softener installation. www.falconstainless.com Description Reviews (0) Product Description

I bought a round Toto washlet and want to move it to another toilet at a recently bought condo. I found out the condo toilet is elongated. Can the seat be changed? Thanks in advance!

I have a Toto Ultramax. It is also ultra-quiet.

I fully appreciate the engineer who came up with this design. My hats off to him.

In hindsight, I should have known the signs. I started suspecting my flow rate through the house was going down even though my dedicated lawn water was fine. Then I noticed my soft water ran out way too quick. My stack and piston change out was to remedy the brine tank not emptying when it...
