    TOTO 1 piece toilet fill valve

    Hey guys, I have a 1 piece Toto toilet that had a Hunter 612 fill valve in it. I tried a korky 528 quiet fill and it doesn't refill the bowl with enough water. Anyone know the correct fill valve to put in it? I forgot to get the numbers of the toilet but I think its like 9 years old.

    Which Gas Hot Water Heater?

    It is also possible that the T&P valve on your old heater was stuck shut and could have ended in a very serious problem at some point. Now that you have a new one the new one is working as it should and a thermal expansion problem was found.

    Pop Up Drain in Vessel Sink Drains Slowly

    that's a common problem. it's not a regular popup. they tend to drain slower than a normal lav sink drain. I have even seen the slam shut when draining a full sink.

    water heater leak!!

    Make sure the water heater is set to only 120 degrees. also. if you do have a pressure reducing valve and you still are getting a pressure of over 75 psi then I would say the PRV is indeed bad and needs to be replaced. open a faucet and then close it then check the pressure gauge. if it doesn't...
