Hi all, We have 3 of these unidentified faucets in our house, and every one of them has a slow leak around the hot valve side, which slowly seeps water onto the countertop. I have just started to try to tackle this to see if it can be fixed by re-seating or replacing a cartidge, or perhaps...

Thanks, Jim. I did check the pressure of the tank before installation. It was right on 12psi. I don't think there is a leak simply because when the system heats up again it returns now to approx 12psi, rather than the 18-20psi it was reaching right after the initial fill and before I flushed...

UPDATE: Ok, have now completed the system maintenance I've been working on for awhile. Here's some updates and a few remaining questions at the bottom: air bleed valve replaced (as above) expansion tank replaced circ pump replaced full system flush (multiple) Out with the old expansion tank...

Just thought I'd post a quick update: I replaced the air bleed valve the other day. Went pretty smoothly after I realized I need to bleed off the excess pressure after shutting-off the feed. After that, did a full system flush one loop at a time. Lots of brown water poured from each, and some...

Thank-you both for your replies. True I think we are putting the system through some unusual stress by being out-of-town 2 or 3 days each week and I would just shut the heat completely off. Upon return it would take basically a full day to bring things back up to temp, as it has been as low as...

In our recently purchased approx 20 yr old house, we have an in-floor radiant heating system, that seems to work quite poorly, as in very slow to heat (like, half a day to get rooms up to temp). I suspect the previous owners either did not use it, or only used it supplementally. (house also has...
