We have a fairly new house (built in 2011) with an irrigation back flow prevention setup that has a leak. The risers from the buried PVC water supply pipe up to the valve are galvanized steel threaded pipe, and the supply side one now has a pinhole leak. This leak is right at the ground level...

Hi, We are having a problem that was isolated to our check valve at our cold water input to our hot water heater. Whenever we have a quick shutoff of water (toilet, sink, dishwasher, clothes washer etc...) the check valve has a thump/bang that is fairly noticeable. The biggest problem...

I am responsible for replacing a failing water heater at my work location - that is a pretty easy solution...take out the old State water heater and put in a new one. Simple & Done. However, I was looking at the installation and there is a Grundfos pump (Model UP 15-18 SU) connected to an...

I am tasked with adding a foot control to our kitchen sink, my question is is there an easy way to add this without doing major cabinet tear out - add a simple button switch that is wired into the to kick to a electronic valve that would override the facuet handle on the countertop? Anyone...
