    Hi, Have a sangloss unit in a 1/2 ba and wife finally complained about the ring since guests will use. I tried everything, finally in desperation used undiluted Muratic acid and it did NOT do a thing! Tried all home remedies using baking soda + vinegar etc. Citric acid Zep acidic toilet bowl...

    Flapper leak on Toto Promenade

    Hi, I installed 2 of these a few years ago, CST424EF 1.28 gal. On one I had to replace the flapper some time ago because of leaking. It started again, I replaced the flapper but this time it did not help. For both replacements I used TOTO THU331S flapper which is a universal fit. The chain has...

    Swap Disposer on dual basin sink

    Hi all, I have a dual basin Kohler sink and the counter workspace is on the side w/o disposer. That plus the fact that the main drain is perfectly horizontal for a bout 3' means that it stops up regularly. I have cleared it so many times I can do it in about 10 mins but it's still a royal...

    Softener Drain

I tried to snake it and then was able to put a garden hose running full bore down the pipe and lots of gravel started coming up. So suffice it to say that I think that pipe drains to...

    Avoid Toto 1.28 gallon if performance is most important?

    To delime or not to delime

    I have a 12 year old A.O. Smith that makes a lot of noise when heating. Smith has a very detailed document on how to delime but it does not seem to be a very common procedure since I can't find any stores which carry a delime kit. A search turns up advice on using CLR or vinegar. Is this...

    Diabolical water hammer

    Hi, My house is two story, slab with copper piping. Every fixture/appliance in the house makes some noise when it shuts off, even sink faucets but solenoid based devices make a really loud bang. I often even hear noise when there is a constant low volume flow - sounds like a coffee maker...
