    Winterizing a house ( in WI ) while gone in winter

Person assigned this task did not shut off spigot. Hose burst and water ran for 5 days. Resulting in a $3000.00 water/sewer bill for...

    Water flow sensor

    Update: I installed an IFM magnetic sensor. Set it for minimum flow and within 10 minutes determined one of the front stores had a leaking flapper. The chain was too long and would get caught under the flapper. Sensor works great. Thx for the replies. David P.S. This is the sensor I...

Next morning pilot was out and I relit it. Today pilot was out, I lit it and main burner came on. I was in the basement for maybe 20 minutes...

    Water main break

    I removed the aerator and the foam is not as bad. Aerator is clean. I shut the heater off and ran the water to flush the tank. Heater is back on and I will check it Monday when the store is open. Will an ohmmeter tell me if the element is bad? I figure since it didn't trip the breaker the...

    Water main break

    Had the main break in front of my 3 store strip center Monday. Water was off for maybe 8 hrs. One store has a point of use 5 gallon electric water heater. Now the hot water comes out foamy.

    Mystery Hot Water Leak???

    Shut off the supply to your water heater. Wait a few moments and turn it back on. If you hear water running into the tank, good guess that your hot water line has sprung a leak.

    Water savings

    Sewer rate is $58.15 per mcf per quarter. Fixed fee of $21.00 per quarter for the meter. Based on the example... 2mcf times $58.15 = $116.30 for sewer plus $21.00 = 137.30. Our suburb does not get charged the $51.31 local charges shown on the bill. So back that out. Where am I at now, with...
