The tank has developed a long hairline vertical crack. Would you kindly explain why only a Champion 4 tank will work on a Champion 4 bowl? The Cadet 3 tank is less expensive and looks similar to the Champion 4 tank.

I have an American Standard Champion 4 two piece toilet that I would like to replace the tank on. What American Standard model name toilet tanks are interchangeable with an American Standard Champion 4 bowl, or is only the Champion 4 tank compatible with the Champion 4 bowl? Thank you.

Which Fluidmaster complete toilet repair kit is compatible with the AS Champion 4 toilet? Thanks.

I recently had three American Standard Champion 4 1.6gpf right height toilets installed in my house that I absolutely love that replaced the builder grade 1.6gpf Crane toilets that came with the house. I realize that they do not receive favorable reviews on this forum, but I love them and no...

No I don't. It's just that the owners manual strongly suggests purchasing their high priced water softener cleanser because it will extend the warranty period. I've never heard of a product such as this before either.

I purchased a Whirlpool water softener and the owners manual recommends adding their brand of 24oz liquid water softener cleanser every 4 months. Other companies offer gallon size bottles of liquid resin cleaner for not much more $. Would a resin cleaner function the same as a water softener...

In 10 years of light duty service, I had to repair/rebuild the Fleck 5600 timer, rebuild the resin tank (had "caviar" all throughout the pipes in my house) and now have a salt bridge (salt hasn't gone down very much in one year and water level is above salt). So not good luck in 10 years. Not...

I am in the Phoenix metro area. My water pressure is fine. I had my resin tank rebuilt two years ago for $300 and also had a new bypass valve and pressure relief valve installed, so my water pressure is fine. I think it's between 60-70. Why continue to pour money into a 20 year old unit when it...

Not going to spend $$ on a new two piece 33k unit installed. I've had trouble with my existing two piece unit (new timer motor, new resin tank) and don't want to spend more money getting a salt bridge repaired. The Whirlpool unit is very affordable and gets good reviews.

No, it's on order. My main plumbing in/out water lines are 3/4" copper piping. Someone out in cyberspace wrote "you need 3/4 male or female threaded copper adapter then a pvc male or female but opposite of copper adapter that reduces or a hex bushing will work as well if you have trouble...

I have an old two part water softener (separate brine tank and resin tank) with a Fleck 5600 valve and a relatively new (two years old) copper 3/4" bypass valve. My new Whirlpool WEHS33 water softener that's all one unit comes with a PVC 1" bypass valve. I would prefer to use my newer existing...

Thanks guys. I called PF and a new replacement head is on the way.

I bought a brand new "generic" replacement pull out faucet spray head to replace my Price Pfister that is yellowed. The PF has a straightforward male/female connection joint to the spray handle. Based on the enclosed picture, how am I going to get the male end into the new white generic spray...

I bought a 20"long 3/8"OD x 3/8"OD stainless steel faucet supply line and it turns out I didn't need it. Since most household faucet supply lines are 3/8"OD by 1/2" IPS, I was wondering if there is an adapter than could "covert" this hose to 3/8"x1/2"IPS to where I can use it around the house...

Last week, the screen at the end of the distributor tube in my water softener broke sending resin through the pipes in the house. A plumber came out and cleared the lines, replaced the bypass boot and flushed out the resin the water heater. The plumber suggested that the PRV be replaced because...

Hello, I have a 16 year old 32k grain water softening unit with a Fleck 5600 Econominder Valve on it. The basket/screen on the end of the tube in the resin tank cylinder broke sending resin breads throughout the pipes in the house. I had a plumber come out earlier today to unclog the...

I was able to buy at a very low price some high quality silicone rubber based sealant for waterproofing wood, tile, concrete, stucco, stone etc and was wondering which of these applications would be best to this type of sealant on? The composition is 8% Silicone Rubber. 1) A resurfacing of a...

I purchased a wood front door with glass inserts for an apartment in coastal San Diego in 2003. The front patio area in the four years after I purchased the door had a problem with water ponding or pooling during heavy rains. As a result, it took a long time for things to dry out and the the...

I have about 500 sq ft of regular Stainmaster type carpeting in my house that hasn't had a professional or steam cleaning in 4 years. I would like to get your opinion on under $200 steam vacuum cleaners from companies like Hoover and Bissell? I have a Hoover Floormate that I use for the tile...

I spent a few hours researching 40 gallon electric hot water heaters and I have read a lot of complaints about the popular brands, and it seems like their quality has declined over the years. The water heater in question that I am thinking about replacing is a Rheem 40 gallon electric hot water...
