A lot of times nicer fixtures have a decent warranty. I replaced a few delta that were under warranty and they let me get the stainless version vs the original chrome that was chipping off. The replacement water heater I got came with this valve. This particular one is only compatible with...

Any brushed nickel stuff I put in did not last even a year. Anything brass that touches water will last a bit, but eventually turns green and corrodes away. Oddly, my oil rubbed bronze stuff is holding up with no issues. My Kohler and Pfister stainless fixtures are of course holding up with no...

Funny, we must be tapped into the same aquifer, looks like we live in the same county. My water is also 5-5.5 PH and like yours, eats through my hot water heater anode every year. The low PH actually killed my first hot water heater before I realized it had dissolved the anode so quickly...

I am planning out the replacement of my slowly failing well pressure tank. My well water fluctuates in PH between 4.5 and 5.5. All of the brass fittings I have ever tried to use in my plumbing efforts fail in a few years. Currently everything in my house is CPVC except a small section of...

A CSV system is something I am considering if I have to replace the tank. Are there any special pump requirements with a CSV, or will it work with any well pump? Does the pump need a controller/VFD to work with a CSV? This is the pump I installed in my well about 7 years ago. There is no...

Hi all, I just had my water tested and came up with an extremely low PH of 4.9 I knew the water was acidic since I had tested it myself, but this confirms my suspicions. Hardness is 51 ppm, TDS 400 ppm. With PH that low, most places seem to be suggesting a soda ash injection system. If thats my...
