    Botched Moen Install?-Single handle tub/shower

    Thanks for the response...I believe it is a Posi-Temp but I'm not sure that the cart. is reversed since I'm getting no hot water at all from just that faucet...and isn't the water totally shutting off when the handle goes all the way CCW weird?

    Botched Moen Install?-Single handle tub/shower

    Confused--Really confused softener and BB install.

    Well, anyway, guys Thanks for all the help...we settled on the Clack ws1 which will be installed next week with a sediment filter afterwards to catch all the resin that we hope doesn't escaped from the unit. We're getting a 10 yr parts and labor warranty, too. The guy from Kinetico tried to...

    Confused--Really confused softener and BB install.

    Some people I know with softeners have had their resin blow up, explode, whatever, and it's supposedly due to the higher (3ppm) of chlorine we have in our water supply. Due to our hardness at 15 gpg, we're think of getting a Fleck 5600 softener and it makes sense to have a charcoal filter...
