Thanks Terry, that diagram helps. Wayne - yes it's currently hidden (by the previous owner) and I will move it so it is accessible by a trap door. There's also adequate ventilation for it too. I did talk to a local guy who is a plumber briefly and he said AAVs are okay in Wi. I appreciate the...

I have a situation where one bathroom is right above the other and the Ptrap for the upstairs shower hangs down really far into the lower bathroom. I want to move that Ptrap up and tight to the floor. Unfortunately this will create a drop roughly 3x the pipe ID and could cause trap siphoning. My...

Of course they do. lol. typical. The shower drain joins right where the WC joins. I will attach a photo but this could definitely be why. I'm tempted to have this portion of the stack replaced as I just don't care for how all this is done compared to what's right now. The toilet is also in a...

Ahh, I read that several times and just wanted to make sure. Thanks Gary.

Thanks Gary, I know that the cleanout of IRB is only of temporary help. It's not really a problem honestly except for the softener. Pardon my ignorance but I just wanted to clarify; My softener is empty right now (no salt) should I add salt then do the bleach? Or should I do the bleach thing...

Well, I figured killing the bacteria would be the place to start. Maybe not. I was told by the water softener people that the iron bacteria is actually what fouls up the works. However, they may have been wrong or maybe I misunderstood. Thanks

Wow, this site is awesome! I am going to post in here because this is exactly what I would like to do. I am on a well with a fleck softener that just plain isn't softening. It goes through all cycles and I put a new resin bed in about 4 years ago. We have Iron Bacteria for sure. I thought I...
