Does that toilet flush really well? If not, you could get a better flush with a new toilet that uses a standard fill valve.

Green corrosion is not related to hardness, and would be from pH and copper. To raise pH, you could inject soda ash, or use (calcite followed by a softener). Injecting soda ash does not increase hardness, but calcite does.

Correction... GT10 is a 1 HP irrigation pump.

Water test shows no problem to my thinking. 5.38 grains is considered hard by some, but most people with that hardness would not feel the need for a softener. If you really want softer water, it is not extravagant. Do you feel you have a problem? pH 6.58 is not that acidic, but could be a...

Usually it is not a good idea to dump your sump pump ground water into your septic tank. Better is to have it go to a place in the yard or into a "dry well". Have you had your septic pumped recently? It may be overloaded. An AAV is not the cure to your problems. You did not ask, but PEX...

I don't think the JRS10 is what is commonly called an irrigation pump. It is a jet pump. That does not mean that you can not, or should not, irrigate with a jet pump. The Goulds JT10 GT10 is called an irrigation pump. No jet, higher gpm, lower pressures. I have experience with neither. I just...

Some can be misleading, I think. It can take extra attention.

While there exists a double santee, you want the one called the double fixture fitting. See place P.... how to implement a vent and a turn takes some thought. One way is to run the vent into a santee on its back, and continue to a long sweep to make the turn. Charlotte PVC 311 is Long Sweep...

I think that would also work to vent the lav. Turquoise 4-port fitting is a double fixture fitting. I think you want the kitchen waste expanded to 2 inch beyond the trap adapter. Also, kitchen waste is higher probability of clogs, so a cleanout would be good. Tub cannot wet vent something...

Alternate.... vent lav with https://rectorseal.com/magic-trap-kit/ Dry vent tub, which wet vents toilet.

Dry vents cannot run horizontally unless 6 inches higher than the flood level.... The dry venting has to take place before the drainage turns down more than the diameter of the trap arm. Is that slab under the floor, or crawlspace or basement? With slab, your drain could run at an angle, but...

Iooked at your 3d some more... more problems. Right hand trap needs to be vented before turning down. One way is to stay horizontal all of the way to the vent sanitary tee. Venting to your vertical vents need to be sanitary tees. Your graphics look like combos. Maybe you just picked the wrong...

A bleach solution will get rid of mold and not dirt. https://www.serveandrestore.com/home-mold-testing-tips/

I am non-expert on this. I expect that the more hot water you use, the more advantageous the direct venting is. A WH without a direct vent will pull air from inside the house. That will pull outside air in, and that will make other areas of the house warmer in the summer and colder in the...

You can afford it. Your house is not very leaky. Running two pipes, or coaxial pipe, is not much of a burden.

Bet you have not dealt with a Vitra toilet from the 1990s.

One possibility that comes to mind is a lamination loosening. Some stuff I have read says the sound would have a frequency of 120 Hz plus harmonics. I cannot be sure that part is right. I would have thought 60 Hz.

I see your lav trap on the 3-D. The lav will need to be dry-vented, but it could wet vent the shower and toilet. You would need to run a 2-inch drain(wet vent) from the lav, over to the left, perhaps in the wall, and feed that into the path within 8 running feet (IPC) of the output of the...

Tub trap needs a vent. Lavatory (bathroom sink) needs a vent. Kitchen sink needs a trap.

Does the drainage go under the floor at the bottom left of IMG_2586.50.jpeg? If so, and if the path from the shower trap to there is short enough, you would not need an additional vent. Under IPC, the max length with 2 inch pipe would be 8 ft, and 6 ft with 1.5 inch pipe. IPC wants 2 inch pipe...
