Hello Everyone, I have to make various corrections to my 2 inch kitchen drain line. I have no clue how it passed inspection when my kitchen was remodeled 17 years ago. Anyway, since I have to replace a sanitary tee with a combo wye(horizontal to horizontal connection), I was wondering what other...

I'm sure this is a fairly straight forward question, so here is my situation. My second floor had new plumbing installed 10 years ago. It is all 3/4" pex b with 1/2" take offs to plumbing fixtures. The PSI on my system is set to 70psi(static pressure adjusted from 85). Flow is roughly 12GPM...

I am comparing 2 jet pumps that are comparable in price. But I believe I am misunderstanding the graphs and tables. Franklin Electric Versjet FVJ1CI-P (1HP) Graph...

My cousin is moving into a house that has extremely low flow and low static pressure. I'm just trying to help them out in order to make sure they make good decisions and I have lived in the area for 25 years. The water source is municipal and they came out and basically said there's nothing they...

I want to install a Clack WS1 for my home as my town has very hard water. I want to figure out efficient settings and proper sizing. Ideally I would like to top off the salt no more than every 2 months since(bad back) . I'm thinking I need a 1.5 cubic ft unit for my criteria. I will be...

I have had to adjust my clack ws-1 settings due to changes in my local water supply. My question is about metered regeneration. My valve is set for metered regeneration. I have set a 14 day override. The override will never be invoked in my system. The other day while working in the same room...

I have searched and could not find anything. My 50 gal gas water heater frequently gurgles if I flush the toilet that is near it or run cold water in my nearby slop sink. I have soft water and flush my heater every year. I replaced the anode rod last year(nothing was left of the old one). The...

Hi Folks, It's been a while. I'm grateful for all the help in the past. I just refurbished my 17 year old water softener system. I emptied, cleaned and sanitized my brine tank and resin tank. I cleaned all components and replaced several. I refilled my resin tank with new gravel and 10% cross...

Ok. I found the town water report so it may be more helpful as to what I need. The link below shows my town water quality report. http://www.essexfellsboro.com/web_co...EssexFells.pdf My Hardness= 22 gpg Adults: generally 3. One month of the year 5 Adults. I'm looking for salt efficient and...

I have a Clack WS-1 water softener. I was doing some maintenance and feel like the water is just not as soft as it once was. The system is about 13 years old. I just bought a Hatch 5B tester and my water shows 0 hardness. My settings are as follows: Clack Settings Capacity: 24000 grains Salt...

I'm Looking for a good tempering valve for my gas hot water heater. Any recommendations. The ones I see online with reviews all claim they don't even put out 120 F. I see Honeywell gets the vote here. Something like Honeywell R-AM-101C-US-1? I have 3/4" copper pipe.

I have to say researching whole house water filters can be difficult. Lots of hyperbole and no documentation. I currently have a water softener with a WS-1 valve. My ward is hard and stinks of chlorine. I figured it was time to start filtering my water and stop buying bottled water. I have...

I installed a new Toto Dartmouth as per the advice of this board. I love it. I didn't know what a good flush was until I installed this. However the unit occasionally runs after flushing. It doesn't happen often, but it does happen. There must be a problem with the flapper. Any advice?

Hello Folks, I just replaced the fill mechanism of an old Kohler one piece toilet with a Fluid Master 400a. The toilet is not very loud when filling up. I have tried adjusting the water supply, but it is loud or acceptable but takes a very long time to fill the tank. Fluid Master is a good...

Well I picked up my very expensive Vitra toilet today. I was in a rush, I thought I inspected the toilet at the Plumbing Supply. I get home and the tank is cracked in the back(I don't think it can be repaired but it is not all the way through, but 3 inches). Also a piece chipped off on the lid...

Hello Folks, I have found only one toilet that closely matches the Am Std. Retrospect console sink I am planning to buy. It is called a Vitra Aria. It is not cheap at about $425. However, it is almost a perfect match, even better then Am Std.s match toilet. Does anyone have a Vitra or have...

Hello Folks, I have a real problem. I am in need of a 54 inch tub for a bathroom remodel, but have only found 5 models. 2 are porcelain on steel 2 are ultra tuff/armour plus (assuming similar to americast). 1 is cast iron(kohler), but has no tile flange so it does not seem as if it was...
