About how much water will go down the drain for a 1.5 cubic foot softener during the regeneration cycle? My workplace installed a first ever softener in our shop and I question if the dubious floor drain can handle the flush water. Thank you.

This newish 2022 article claims that gravel beds in residential water softeners is not necessary. https://www.aquatell.ca/blogs/aquatell/how-much-gravel-do-you-need-for-your-water-softener-rebed .....the article doesn't show any data. Just their opinion? Comments from the pros?? Thank you.

Before I destroy my old circa 1965 Kohler (I think) toilet, is there any chance someone might want it? For any reason: "Rare part" to replace on another similar model? A display model in some museum type setting? It would look perfect in the Henry Ford Texaco station, LOL. It's hard to...

Toto CST744SL elongated. Title says it all. 11 and 1/4 inch from cast iron flange C/L to dry wall. Old building has 3/4 inch thick base board. About 10 3/8+ inch from flange C/L to base board. Can I squeeze the 12 inch C/L Toto Drake in... I will have to remove a small length of the...
