    Sump float switch position

    sump float position Thanks to both of you. I remember seeing that answer a while ago. I guess the other thing was a coworker mentioned that keeping a little water in the bottom of the drain tile helped to reduce radon levels(?). Not sure if that is true or not.

    Sump float switch position

    Is there a recommended setting for my pedestal sump's float switch? I seem to recall a while back someone posting that it didn't matter... but a friend had mentioned setting it so that it is activated when the water level is just below where the drain tiles enter the crock, and off when it...

    Water leaking from under toilet

    amateur thoughts... if it is a recessed flange, and you are a D.I.Y. person, the FERNCO waxless gasket (at least for me and my friends) works GREAT. You have to seriously clean off any wax (I used wd-40 and a scraper, then used a degreaser to clean it off. If it is some kind of micro crack...

    I have three big sons... so I am looking into a pressure assist toilet (I think Crane was one we looked at) for their bathroom. I have a (perhaps silly) question that I can't find an FAQ answer to. Is there any risk to plumbing at all from Pressure assist toilets? supply or waste (PVC)? If...

    Looking for a good, inexpensive one-piece toilet

    recommendations... I figgered as much. You definitely do get what you pay for, but occasionally you get pleasantly surprised by a well-functioning cheapie. I was kinda hoping something like that (as unrealistic as it seems) might occur, and either a pro or D.I.Y.er would know...like an 02...
