(I tried searching but didn't find anything that specifically addressed my problem) I have a GE (Rheem) electric water heater. It was built in 2005 and is a 12yr warranty model. It is a 50gal dual element unit and it came with the foreclosed home I purchased in December. The upper and lower...

Well, I found a company that does a 'free second opinion' - they came out, checked it all out and took some readings, and said the outdoor unit was low on fluid. Come to think of it, I am not sure if I remember the first guy even going outside. Luckily, I found out that the unit was installed...

Understood, thanks Cacher. I will look at the Americast stuff, or will resort to a Kohler tub.

Are you telling me that all acrylic tubs have imperfections like this? I should not really expect straight lines and a tub that drains?

I am looking at the Armstrong literature and see the heat pump is equipped with a 'bi directional liquid line filter drier' - if I reverse the flow (run cold) and dislodge the blockage, shouldn't this be able to catch the blockage? I was told not to do this as the blockage could ruin something...

Thanks Jimbo. The system is energized in cooling mode (O) as opposed to (B). The thermostat was put in yesterday but the same issue has been going on for a few days > week. Luckily I was able to get a tech here on a Saturday evening. I sort of wish I didn't introduce the new thermostat...

Hello, I am doing renovations on my house and am remodeling the bathroom. I was anxious about having a 'plastic' tub, so I opted to go to a well known plumbing supply house and get their house-brand bathtub. It is 'solid acrylic' backed with fiberglass. The plumber commented 'this is a good...

I have an electric heat pump with electric coil emergency heat. The unit (Armstrong) was serviced about a month ago and checked out OK. The past week or so, I hear the fan running constantly, and every time I look at the thermostat, the unit is in Emergency mode. I have not been able to...

It seems that there are not a lot of reviews about the Acrylux material from American Standard - I assume it is relatively new. Does anyone have experience with it? I am a new homeowner and have no experience with composite bathtubs. I am a bit nervous about a plastic bathtub as I've always been...
