@Terry. not paying you by the word. haha. Thanks for giving me a laugh!! :D one of the trades clogged the one toilet I had left hooked up, and not having used this toilet before, I thought that the flapper should stay open until all the water was evacuated from the tank, and the entire tank...

bought a house with original TOTO carlyle one piece skirted toilets and planning for a renovation question for those who have experience with this toilet. when flushing, you have to hold down the lever for a complete flush until it's finished flushing. if not, then you get about half a flush...

I have this circulator pump on my boiler. probably 15 years old. Can't find the part number online. Does anybody know the compatible part now? Grundfos P/N 59896293 P1

I would estimate about 3500 feet of 1/2" pex Don't know how cold the floor temp got, but air temp went down 3 to 4 degrees. tank is 60 gallons. I assume that it's more than just heating the 30 or so gallons of water in the piping as the concrete floors are also pulling heat out of the pipes...

Well the real world scenario was a tradesman had turned off the boiler switch in the basement by accident in the morning and when night time showers began, there wasn't any hot water. Dishwasher, laundry and normal hot water use drained the tank during the day. Turned the boiler back on and...

I was really only thinking about the scenario that the heat has been off for a while, and the 2500 s.f. of tubing is filled with cold water. If for some reason there is a call for heat in the whole house, and a few people need to take showers, it will be a few hours before the boiler can heat...

here is a pdf of the diagram.

Hi. I have a 12 year old boiler with 4 zones, one of which is a DHW tank. The on board controller does not have priority for DHW. There is a schematic which shows a relay that can be used to give priority to the DHW zone. I can wire things up given instructions, but not able to figure out...

YES!! haha. not silly question. I did fill it up and ran the hot water tap for a while before I turned the breaker back on. I don't think there's a chance of losing water pressure.

Is it just the ones that are longer and bent back onto itself? Are copper ones better?

Ah ok. Thanks for the advice I will look for those. If you can provide any links to good ones, will be much appreciated.

When I looked in through the element hole, the anode was basically gone at the bottom but the top was still there but pimply all over. Possible to just change the anode?

Yes. Both is blown this time for sure. I can't recall last few times if only upper or both.

I have had 3 melted electric element in a 6 year old electric hot water tank in the last 5 months. Problem started when I flushed the hot water tank 5 months ago. Problems started right away. Tripped breaker then no hot water... Element melted. Happened again 2 months later .. Then just...
