    Assessing/rebuilding an iron filter?

    I'm trying to figure out if I can breath life into our iron filter, or if I'm at the mercy of the local water treatment company... We had an air induction iron filter (Clack WS1) installed in 2016 and a new softener in early 2021. Between 2016 and now, we've had the company out for various...

    20 lb. LPG (grill) tank to 1/2" NPT?

    I found another thread asking the same question a number of years ago, but wanted to make sure I'm understanding correctly...(old thread here) My neighbor handed me a forced air 75000 BTU gas garage heater that wasn't running correctly.

    Time delay fan switch for bathroom?

    Understanding hydronic radiant heat, and a potential retrofit?

    The wife has some concerns about the exhaust odor coming from our natural gas, forced air furnace. You smell nothing inside, but outside the exhaust has an odor. I grew up around propane and older natural gas furnaces and feel the odor is somewhat normal for a mid-1990s gas furnace, but we are...

    Fixing minor leaks around pressure tank connections?

    I had a water emergency on Sunday where one of the connections coming out of my pressure tank failed. In the 1st pic you can see that everything was pretty corroded, the valve to the house supply would not fully close, and the pressure gauge hasn't worked since we moved in 2 years ago. The...

    Ordering a Toto from a big box store?

    Hello everyone! This is my first post... My wife and I bought a house that needs some updates. Considering our cash reserves are low and my ability to DIY is high, I think I will be spending a lot of time at this site. I'm looking to replace the 1970s toilet in our master bath; it uses a ton...
