GREAT STORY

If you do wrap the pvc pipe will it be as quiet as the iron pipe? Or would I be better off moving the iron pipe and reusing? I know there are knock-offs of dynamat. And I know exactly that roofing material your talking about.. man that stuff really sticks.

Ok that makes sense. In the same area we have a 1.5" pvc vertical bath drain in a wall and it is pretty noisy. Any preferred soundproofing for pvc? Googled it and it seems automotive dynamat sounds popular? Rather not have the sound if possible.. kids use that bathroom a lot....

Doing a kitchen remodel and found a vertical 3" iron pipe that I need to move. Wondering why it is iron? House was built in 1989 and all other drains are PVC. Anyone have any insight? It is from a full upstairs bath. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply, but pretty sure I need it. It is a variable pressure pump - also feeds my geothermal system.

This is for the pump house that runs my irrigation. Original 2 gallon tank lasted 5ish years then rusted through. It was an Amtrol I think? Grey in color if I remember correctly. Well guy had installed it. I replaced that with a 'water works' from home depot... apparently garbage as it...

Remodeling our kitchen and a bathroom. Was told years ago to stay away from Delta by and old plumber friend. Wondering if all the major brands are good or not (Moen, American Standard, Kohler)? Thanks in advance!

House was built in 1991 with 3/4 PB main line and 1/2 to fixtures. As I slowly remodel I am replacing the PB with PEX. Not sure what sizing I need.. PEXid is smaller than the PB id I am replacing.. House is on a well - 40-60psi 16gpm (if I remember correctly). Has a 100" run of 1"id black poly...

Sealed. I ordered it and will install this week. It is clear so I can visually keep track of it. For the price it was worth a shot..

The condensate drain gravity flows into a stand pipe which is connected to a P trap which is connected to septic line. During the winter P trap must dry out because it smells like septic sometimes. not really that bad bad some days can catch a whiff. Would something like this cure the problem...

Ok thank you. Ordering an AAV

Both of our tubs on first floor have p trap in crawl space. Not sure where else you would put them?

Ok thank you. How far can I drop into a P trap? Can I go 48" ? Meaning 48" from washer down to P trap. I could put P trap in crawl space - then horizontal run into 4" main line...

Moving washer - this is what I was planning in doing: 18" 2" stand pipe to P trap (all in interior wall). Then a 90 into a 36" vertical to drop into crawl space. Then a 90 into a 3" horizontal which ties into main 4" line to septic. Vent stack would be 7' from the drop at washer. Is this too far?

Sounds like I should call the well guy again maybe...

I know some sand went through it when they replaced the leathers because it went through the fleck head on my filox tank. Not sure if it still has sand going through it - not sure how I would know. I assume any sand would drop out in filox and water softener tanks? I think leathers are ok. When...

Have an older (20 year old?) JRD10 pump. Has a well company come in and replaced 'leathers' on casing. When they did they turned pump high limit (shutoff) to 70psi. I checked it a couple times after that to be sure pump was shutting off (not first house we have had with this style pump). Well...

Jim, thank you for the reply and the info. I was actually looking at a watts tempering valve setup . My current 80g unit I am happy with. The capacity is enough for us with it set at 120F. I do understand about heat loss - that is why I thought an 80g set at 120F would be close to the...

Need to buy a 50 gal tank for a buffer/mixer for my geothermal hot water. Was going to use a 50 gallon hot water heater tank from one of the box stores - is any brand better than others? Some have 6 year warranty, some have 12 - but look the same? Rheem, AO Smith. Also stainless tanks from...

Moving hot water heater into a different utility room so have a few questions... Currently have a Whirlpool 80 gal electric hot water heater (2x4500 watt) set at 120F. Does the job for us 95% of the time. When it does not have enough water it is because 2 of us took long showers back to back...
