    Hansgrohe Axor nipple length

    I roughed in a Hansgrohe iBox and quattro diverter and off of that I have an Axor port to use for a handheld wand. installation instructions call for the nipple length outside the finished wall to be 5/8 inch. I'm tiling and did what I could to figure everything right to have that extension...

    Fleck 7000 By-Pass Valve

    This last bit of information was the final piece of the puzzle. I had seen where the o-ring sat inside the valve, and realized from the exploded view of the valve that there should be two parts to remove, but your description of a plastic retainer holding the o-ring seem to click. I thought the...

    Fleck 7000 By-Pass Valve

    Sorry to continue to be a bother, but I'm wondering where the outside o-ring on the adapter is supposed to be placed. This is a picture of the inside of the adapter with the o-ring in place: I'm not certain I received the outside o-ring, but there were two on the adapter when it came out the...

    Fleck 7000 By-Pass Valve

    Thought about taking a picture and then thought I'd try the taste test. Started a regeneration, waited for the Backwash timer to start and then skipped to the Brine Draw. The timer had run for about 30 seconds and there was a noticeably salty taste to the water. What was frustrating was the...

    Fleck 7000 By-Pass Valve

    I'm just going to ask the question and let the chips fall where they may: is it necessary for proper softener operation to install the by-pass valve included with my Fleck 7000? Here's the story: I ordered a Fleck 7000. We were moving into a home that didn't previously have a water softener...
