Thank jadnashua, I think you are right on. I have read the retrofit insulation kits are a total waste of time, and I wonder how a factory made insulated tank really holds up over time. I suspect the insulation might start to break down. I am redoing my house in pex so I am taking the opportunity...

Really, almost $500 for a toilet? That is a lot of money for a crapper! I think any toilet that price should have an insulated tank as standard. But I am sure it works like a charm.

Thank you all so much, it is done! My wife and I worked on this. We dug out the line from the pitless adaptor to the house, about 3 feet down and 8 feet long. A lot of shoveling for people who work a desk job! We will be sore for a week. The ground had a lot of huge rocks, with a lot of sharp...

Thanks to all of you, you have been great helping out this newbie! After some serious cleaning, and having my wife look at it with her better eyes, there are some markings on it. Cresline KL SWP, 1 inch ABS. The only reference from Google for Cresline KL was a 1961 ad for using it in sprinkler...

The house I bought has a patched together plumbing job and I am trying to do it over right. One problem is that the pressure tank is corroded and need replacement. OK, so I have a new 34 gallon Water Worker tank and a new tee with all the gadgets (pressure switch, gauge, release valve, check...
