I have a Gerber brand toilet. I bought a new universal toilet fill valve (Fluidmaster 400A) and a toilet flush valve kit (Oatey #459-269). The box says it has a double thick sponge rubber gasket. I don't know if that means anything special. The tank-bowl gasket is not sealing. When I...

In the back yard, by the back fence, a roughly 6'x10' area of ground seems to have dropped or settled a few inches. It's next a pole with underground power/phone/cable. There is an ice/water puddle formed there that wasn't there last year. From the grass I can see near the edge it does seem a...

Do softeners with aquasensors, and water meters, just measure/calculate hardness that passes into the softener? Are the sensors part of the valve? Where and when exactly do they sense? I would assume the calculation needs to be adjusted periodically as the resin ages. Can an additional...

As I understand softener regeneration, brining and slow rinse happen with the same value position except that slow rinse happens after no more brine is being drawn. Is the main purpose of slow rinse to push the remaining brine through the resin? Other than that, does slow rinse do anything...

After water is processed by the city, how much can its hardness vary when reaching the home, or over a period of time, or from different wells? How reliable are those "count the drops" water hardness testing kits? I took a home water sample (the city says it's 18 hardness from blended wells)...

Do water softener resin tank diameters specify inside or outside diameters? How thick is the wall typically? Is height measured to the very top?

Are there any electrical issues with stringing together multiple outdoor extension cords, (for a 12 Amp leaf blower), as long as they are all at least 12 Amp cords?

I have a basic water softener control valve question. Maybe someone can clarify this for me. I have new water softener with a Clack control valve on a 30,000 grain tank. The valve is programmed with a 30,000 grain capacity and a 30 gpg water hardness which displays a 1000 gallon capacity...
