    AquaPure Water softener (rebadged Clack)

    I've not been on in quite some time when I was reading about replacing my softener and doing some bathroom remodels. Wife found water on the utility room floor, looks like the drain o-ring is leaking around the clip. The unit is 6-7 years old and so far I am unable to find a local dealer who...

    New toliets Ultramax II

    I have a couple of other posts regarding my remodel and re-working my stack to accommodate the new toilets which required removing the sanitary t and a bunch more. My choice of toilet was 2 ultramax II's, I could not find a decent price locally and ended up going mail order. I was nervous...

    Back to back installations of toilets

    Thanks Reach yeah I understand what Toto recommends but I have also read on this board and others that the wye 1/8 is possible that it could create a "s" trap and the double fixture, ala double combo etc ( NOT SANITARY TEE, that is what I am removing), is the one you should use. Not sure how...

    Back to back installations of toilets

    I know this has been beat to death and I have asked before, but in the middle and discussing with my plumber which way we want to go. Toto calls out a double wye with 1/8 bends but I keep reading that in some cases it can cause s traps and the correct fitting would be a double fixture fitting...

    Back to Back Installation Opinions wanted

    Now that I have a better picture and have thought about it over the weekend, I understand how the lo heel is working, the only problem is I'm not sure if I could get one installed, I might be able to but I need to look some more. Would there be an issue if I drop both toilets below where the...

    Back to Back Installation Opinions wanted

    Thanks for the quick reply, just trying to figure out how the lo heel would be plumbed ( any links to reference?). But if I replace the sanitary cross with the one that removes the other half and below that pipe the other toliet with a wye would that also work? Not sure if the pictures are...

    Softener settings

    This is what I have found - Our mineral tank offering in diameters may not be like other manufacturers of water treatment products, as we utilize a turbulator distributor tube with the mineral tank which does not require as much free board (space above the resin). This has been a standard our...
