Just installed a thermostatic mixing valve, the Honeywell AM101-USTG-1LF. It chatters often when water is being called for, although not all the time. Its not super loud, you can only hear it standing in front of it. Just want to make sure this is normal, I can't seem to find any info on this.

Parents have an existing 180,000BTU Rinnai RL75 with a single bathtub/shower combo. House is located in New England with estimated incoming water temp of about 45 degrees. Heater has been doing the job just fine. At Delta T of 60 degrees (to get to 105 degree shower temp), estimating their...

I posted recently about the low backwash rates that my Filox filter had been supplied with (3.5GPM). Well my 1.5CuFt 10x54 calcite tank is in the same boat.

Experts, I have never liked this since we moved into the house. This is what the contractor gave us for our Dryer gas line. It is a piece of CSST (TracPipe I believe) around 8' long without any clamps or straps hooked into the back of our dryer. This just does not seem to be a...

Plumbing Experts, Years ago to add a basement laundry sink/sump pump for the washing machine I did the this. I threaded a 4" male adapter into the cleanout and a wye. The pump has a 2" line and the valve you can see in the photo. The 4" line then extends up a...

Experts, I am finishing up a bathroom remodel. I closed the check-stop valves on my Moentrol 3570 valve and left them screwed in (off) for a few months. When backing them back out now to turn the water back out they are both weeping water around the valve screw. It isn't a...
