I'm in the country Ona well with a 30/50 switch and low level shutoff. I had both toilet valves open full titlt so I'm guessing I made my own problem

I'll pick up the valve next time in town. In the meantime, I scaled the valve all the way back to barely open. The reason being, something occurred to me. A couple of months ago I had work done in the downstairs bathroom, up in the ceiling. At the time the plumber asked to change the supply...

I've read that draining the lines can flush them. I live about 1 HR away from the nearest hardware store so just thinking in terms of temporary solutions

Ok i scaled it way back and not the loud bang is like a small, subtle clunk. I'm guessing at this point I need to drain the lines and and see where I end up

Do you mean the knob, like only open it halfway ?

How do I do that? :(

Thank you

Hey gang. Ever since I installed my upstairs toilet, when I flush, when the water stops flowing into the tank I hear a clunk or a thud. Any idea what that is? I'm on a well, 30/50 pressure switch, softener and rust Master systems in place.

Thanks guys. So from what I can tell the current fitting is a compression fitting that screws it tight? So basically - Get proper sized shark bite elbow fitting. Shut off water supply to house. Unscrew current fitting. Replace with shark bite elbow. When I put the shark bite on, do I need to...

Hey guys One of the pictures shows the potential access. The toilet blocks part of the way but that is probably manageable. That being said I cut open the ceilling below and seem to have found the culprit. I am far from on expert but it almost looks as if it was cracked already and someone...

Thank you. So I am thinking I want to do all at once so I need some help. When I replaced the floor drain the old putty was dried out so I am guessing the previous owner last did it years ago. We bought the house in 2012 and I am given to understand putty lasts 10 years or so. My guess is the...
