Bath 1 : Corner tub with large rain head 2 sinks Toilet Bath 2: Shower with 2 heads and a hand held Sink Toilet I also have an outside faucet in the area and will run that too. All these items are about 40 feet from water heater. My house is will be supplied with a 3/4 come spring so I do...

jadziedzic - Your "ecocirc e3" temperature-controlled switch, does it run when ever the water cools? ie the middle of the night or when the family is gone of vacation? I like the low wattage. I was on their web site the have a model called autocirc that feeds the waste water to the cold water...

I only started looking at recircs yesterday, not even sure I will use one. That said it makes more sense to me to use a passive demand device if possible so I thought it prudent to ask. Its really to bad this can not divert to the waterheater. Response from Redwater "The valve uses...

I must be misunderstanding. I was under the impression there would be no flow with the tap off. They make it sound that way with out saying it. "Operation Once installed your Redwater™ Diverter should operate as follows – when the hot tap is turned on, a small amount of water will be...

Thanks for looking at my page. Sorry its boring.

I don't understand what water would be wasted, the water i was going to run down the drainanyway while i waited for the shower to be ready? I can understand the pressure idea. Too much resistance to push it water heater...most likely out come is it would exit the tap like it would of if the...

I had such a tough time removing the mandrill from my hole saws. Even after one use they are stuck tight! I found this video usesful so I posted it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skk1W6AI-rE In case the link disapears; the video shows a man using an impact wrench with a socket driver...

While looking into recirculating hot water lines i found this. http://www.redwater.net.au/index.php/product.html Just wondering if any one has used them and any thoughts you have on them. It uses the lines existing pressure to move the cold water out. Must have a a thermal...

Oops. Well, not a plumber. Relooked at the plumbing book I have it says a "bath group"(toilet,sink and tub) can be counted as 6 FU. Previously I was looking at "bath set" (tub with shower). Not a code book. Creative homeowner ultimate guide to plumbing. Its ok but need heavy...

You make my wallet sad :(

My grandma used to have the hugest garden. 30 or 40 rows of veg will 2 giant rows of raspberries at the far end. She would get so mad if we played out there. Sometimes we would be jumping cabbage and the pipe would start up like a sprinkler... then you ran away, on account of the smell...

I only have 2. Rain and hand held. Position 1 would be 1 head Position 2 would be the hand held Position 3 would be both. I considered jets but the few timed I have used I was not overly impressed. And, i fear, the water usage would be more that I can take; its for my 3 daughters...

Sounds like many single brand product videos and demos, ones sided.

Not a plumber. A bathroom set should count as 3.6 fixture units. A 2" vent should be good to 4 fixture units. That said you could use a sanitary tee off the main vent so long as you continued the vent up above the flood plain[the point your highest fixture would over flow at] before re...

A valve I bought will do 3 seperate items but not 2 together. I want to run one or a second or both. Can I use a w with 2 check valves to solve this? Can I bury the check valves in a Canadian wall? Is there a type/brand of check valve I should use?
