Considering buying a Generac 8Kw natural gas generator. What would it cost me to run for 24 hours at half load with a Nat Gas price of .63 per ccf? I am not sure how to do the math on this one. It will use 77 cu ft per hour at 1/2 load and around 139 cu ft per hr on full load. Thanks

Are there any other valves other than Korky that will work in the Toto Drakes? I have to replace the Korky about once a year. Its not that expensive, but are there any other options out there?

I am about to purchase my second Toto Drake. I am trying to decide whether to get the CEFIONTECT. I need some opinions from those of you who have gotten toilets with the CEFIONTECT.

I recently installed the Stevens ss57a 1/3 hp sump pump. It has the diaphram/pressure type switch. It works great, except for the fact that in each cycle, it seems to suck air for a second or so at the end of the cycle. It does not look like there is any way to adjust this switch. Is anyone...

Last year after a sump pump burned up, I bought a Lifetime warranty 3/4 hp Simer with a vertical float switch. (Bought it before I started reading this fourm). It lasted about 4 months before the switch failed during a heavy rain. Simer would not refund my money, and sent me to Sears. Sears...

I have read somewhere on the web, that laundry discharge will ruin a sump pump. Is that because of the lint? or because of the harsh detergent or softner ingredients? I would think that lint would not be a major issue becasue many pumps will pass "small" solids.

I finally took the plunge and replaced one of my toilets with the Toto Drake. The actual install was fairly easy for someone who has never attempted it before. The only trouble I encountered was a rusted out flange, and after the wife made a trip to the hardware store for the repair flange kit...

I live in an area with an extremely high water table, and my sump runs about every 5 minutes, and with 1 1/2 or 2 inches of rain, will run as often as every 45 seconds for a day or so. I have gone thru many tether and vertical switches, and am currently trying the "sump watcher" float switch...
