Well it's EXACTLY like that, but it is connected right into the sewage like. I'll take a pic tomorrow and see what you think.

Bannerman, Thanks for the information and the pic. In looking at the image, it is pretty much exactly the config I have so it is going directly into the sewage line instead of the home drainage as I stated. I also measured and it will have about 3 ft rise to the from the softener to ceiling and...

The house that I own had a Culligan water softener previously installed. There is a 1/2 in flexible tube hanging next to where it used to be that runs along the ceiling and into our home's drainage. I would like to re-use this for a new water softener and I'm guessing that it was once attached...

Hmmmmm... not sure now. Previous to the replacement, it would drip all day. I will observe now with that in mind. Thanks!

The spout on my tub spout continues to drip even after replacing the Delta valve cartridge. Any ideas what could be wrong that would result in the dripping?

Just to let everyone know, it turned out when I replaced my 1/4" pipes with 1/2" the plumbers fed the copper into a pair of 3/4 inch steel pipes. The only thing is, they only put the copper pipes 3/4 of the way down the steel pipes and when the oil got below a 1/4 tank it essentially was out of...

I have a furnace that when its starting up it is very choppy but then eventually gets going and runs normally. I hear the burner turning on and off and smell diesel afterward. I've tried bleeding the line of air and no air really comes out, just the flow of fuel stops and then starts up again. I...

Had a couple HVAC guys out here and they suggested zoning my house by putting in electronic dampers in. The house will be separated into 3 zone with 3 thermostats. Does anyone have any experience with this type of forced air configuration and has it been successful? Thank you.

An update before the HVAC guy gets here on Monday. I partially sealed up the first floor furnace intakes to see if it would affect the amount of hot air going to the 2nd floor. No noticeable improvement unfortunately.

Thanks Jim for the thorough explanation. I think you are probably on to something in regards to the returns. The return on the 2nd floor is tiny compared to the sizes of the returns on the 1st floor. We're having an HVAC guy come here on Monday to check it out. From the way the returns are run I...

The return is in main hallway and we keep all the bedroom doors open because we have infants, so I don't think what you explained is the issue we're having. So you don't think its the size of the duct supplying the 2nd floor is the issue and if I install the dampers as I explained originally...

Thank you for the information. Upon contemplating the issue that I have, I'm not sure if simply putting dampers on both these ducts with supply enough heat to our 2nd floor. I'm now considering rerouting the ductwork. There are basically 3 ducts supplying all the heat to the front of our house...

I have a forced air furnace that supplies pretty much all of the hot air to our utility room and office space on the 1st floor. Our bedrooms on the 2nd floor get a cool soft breeze of air. I want to install 2 dampers on the ducts feeding the 1st floor of my house so that pretty much the majority...

Boy I sure I hope I have less than a quart of water in the tank... but you never know. I'm assuming that the furnace is working fine and the filter is clean because I just got it inspected a couple weeks ago. Also, it runs perfectly when above the freezing. In addition, in order to get the water...

Thanks for the help!
