Thanks, all! Vinyl or PVC it is... my rise is good per my pump spec and I'll work a slope in as much as possible with the new run. I appreciate all of the replies!

Thanks for the thought... after looking again last night, I was thinking the same thing (partially because the neutralizer won't fit well there and could surface more issues). And, the copper just makes me nervous completely hidden in a long span. Because our entire basement has the ceiling...

Thank you, Jim! You confirmed my suspicion on the acidic water and have increased my urgency in installing my DIY neutralizer I made a few months back (followed these instructions - ). While I was worried about what I could see, I am much more worried about the 20 feet of copper in the finished...

Hi All - You have been of great support with past questions, so I thought I would give a few more a shot... My water alarm went off near my condensate pump (now wired into furnace, but I left alarm there, thankfully). Turns out I had a pinhole in the flexible copper right in front of the...

Hi All, Last summer, my Mansfield Anti-freeze Hose Bib was leaking out of the bottom of the handle when the hose was on. I replaced all of the parts with the replacement part kit they sell. All worked wonderfully for the summer, no leaks and lots of use. Even though it is freeze-proof, I...

Hi, I am hoping for some thoughts on a problem with our bathroom sink before I start taking it apart in an attempt to find the problem…! It is a Kohler faucet, single handle. When hot water is turned on, it does not get hot. Here are a few specific things I have noticed: - The water...
