    Insufficient volume/pressure - Well? Plumbing? Softener?

    @valveman: Thank you. Your response seems quite simple - which is very appealing in this whole mess! I'll call around and get quotes from a few additional well companies to see if they can quote an intelligent response. Frankly, I'm surprised that they didn't just say something like this...

    Insufficient volume/pressure - Well? Plumbing? Softener?

    @Terry: Thanks! I'll stick with the second tank then. I'm in Minnesota, and it gets, ahh, kinda cold here sometimes. @LLigetfa: I have my tank set at the highest setting. I figure I can temper it with the cold as needed, and that way my starting temp is at least as high as it can go. No kids...

    Insufficient volume/pressure - Well? Plumbing? Softener?

    @craigpump: As to the well completion report… yeah, I called the County out here and they didn’t have anything in their records. When I bought the property, I got a rudimentary well inspection report, but it wasn’t that helpful; it just had the clearance for lack of e-coli, etc. @LLigetfa...

    Insufficient volume/pressure - Well? Plumbing? Softener?

    @craigpump: Thank you for your comment about the tank. This seemed a plausible - and simple - way to improve things, but when I asked questions about the sizing, they had no clue so I got the sense they were just guessing. (Sheesh, I can do that!) My first question to them was: if a larger...

    Insufficient volume/pressure - Well? Plumbing? Softener?

The renovations included a spa shower (Moen ioDigital) with four loops: two showerheads and two sets of dual bodysprays. The water volume/pressure is adequate at...

    Kohler K-1174-GCW whirlpool tub provides contradictory info re: 120V vs 220V

    Just to close this up, I spoke with Kohler Engineering extensively on this and they conceded that their documentation was wrong and that there should not have been a 3-prong plug coming out either! The bottom line is that they said to cut off the 3-prong plug and wire the 120V circuit into one...

    Kohler K-1174-GCW whirlpool tub provides contradictory info re: 120V vs 220V

    Thanks fellas... @HJ, I do have both a pump and a heater, though oddly once I trace the wiring throughout, it seems as though the pump (blower) is the 240V piece, and the heater and controller is the 120V piece. After tracing the circuits a bit more, it seems that I can tie them in together -...

    Kohler K-1174-GCW whirlpool tub provides contradictory info re: 120V vs 220V

    Hi, I am installing a new K-1174-GCW Underscore BubbleMassage Bath with Bask, and the electrical requirements are unclear and contradictory so I need some technical help please. The Kohler spec sheet says (Document 1201699-4-B, Page 2), "Dedicated circuit required, protected with Class A...
