    SYMMONS Temptrol: Hot water turns cold

    SYMMONS Temptrol shower faucet. At mid-setting, the water temperature is warm at first - then turns lukewarm and then cool - all in about 60-90 seconds. I replaced the Spindle (TA-10). No joy. When I have the cold water supply off and leave the hot water supply on, and the faucet is about...

    Funky Smell in "Freshly Washed" clothes

    The 20-year old washer died on us. The new one I bought is one of the new Kenmore HE4T front-loader High Capacity HE washers. Really great washer. Sounds like the booster engine on a cruise missile when it starts to wind up for its spin cycle. I think the old washer used as much as 42...

    Chromed Pipe ?

    SOLVED: Chromed Pipe ? Very new to home plumbing. I had a leaking shutoff valve under my toilet. I simply wanted to replace the shutoff with a new valve - have never sweated in pipes so I just bought a 5/8" - 3/8" shutoff valve with compression fittings. I cut the supply pipe just below...
