    fireplace smell when AC runs

    I'm assuming that you mean flue damper. It seems to me that you've got a little negative pressure in the house when you're running the AC that's sucking some air down the chimney and with it the smell. A chimney cleaning generally helps with creasote smells. Is your house really air tight? You...

    What's normal for Grohe Thermo valve?

    Well, for the benefit of anyone who in a future search finds this thread and wonders how it ended: I took the valve apart and cleaned the check valves and temperature cartridge with running water. There was a little debris in there. It now works better when the toilet is flushed. Before, I...

    What's normal for Grohe Thermo valve?

    Although phone tech support from Grohe says it's normal, email tech support says it's debris in the valve and sent instructions for cleaning. I think I'll try the cleaning approach.

    What's normal for Grohe Thermo valve?

    Grohe tech support tells me that the valve has no pressure balancing capability and that it's normal for the temperature to fluctuate when the toilet is flushed. It supposedly has only an anti-scald function that kicks in only if the cold water supply stops due to a pipe break. Can anyone...

    What's normal for Grohe Thermo valve?

    Thanks. It didn't seem normal to me. I've sent an email to Grohe. I didn't see a phone number for tech support. I'll look at the site again, though. anyone gone through the process of cleaning dirt out of it?

    What's normal for Grohe Thermo valve?

    I have a new shower installation using a Grohe 34 902 mixing valve. It's a 3/4 " variant to supply two shower heads and lets you dial in the desired temperature. What I've noticed is wild fluctuation of temperature after flushing the toilet. It's briefly colder than normal, then too hot, then...

    Grohe Volume Controls Recessed Too Far

    I just installed an extension on a Grohe 34 902 thermo valve to make up for it being an inch too deep in the wall. It worked fine but was a little confusing since the kit included a lot of pieces I didn't need and the directions were just a page of confusing pictures. I was happy to have a...

    10" rough in problem

    I've successfully installed Toto Carlyles into two bathrooms with 9.5 inch rough-ins. In one the baseboard was tile and therefore pretty thin and the only issue was that the tank lid was a little tight against the wall. In the other the baseboard was standard wood trim with a quarter round...

    ADA toilets/no CEFIONTECT?

    The supply line came up through the floor and I did, in fact, have to move it over a couple of inches. It was worth the trouble, though. Paul

    ADA toilets/no CEFIONTECT?

    We also were looking for an ADA Toto, but bought a Carlyle instead but found that its "standard" height was comfortably higher that all of our other non-Toto toilets.

    towel warmer

    I've had an electric towel warmer made by Runtal in my bathroom for about ten years now. It has three heat settings so the towels can be warm or really hot if you want. It's also great for keeping the bathroom comfortably warm even though the rest of the house might be too cold for wet naked...
