I mentioned before that it confuses me why the little black hose that normally puts water into the tube is not putting water there. Every toilet i even looked into has a hose squirting water into the tube. Not mine.

I checked the hose that connects the wall to the toilet and i don't see any filter in there. I stuck my finger up through the bottom of the tank when the hose was removed and i didn't feel any thing special.

I tried the water directly from the wall and from both ends of the hose that attaches the wall to the toilet. The water pressure is strong when it exits the wall until it reaches inside the tank.

The stop valve at the floor that lets the water into the tank is at full. The "fill valve" (not shown in the photo) is that plastic tube where the small rubber hose goes into, correct? I turned off the water and i flushed the toilet to empty the tank so i could shine a flashlight down the...

Hi , How can i get this to fill up faster. It does fill up to the correct height, just takes too long. Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi, When I was using the (sink) plunger, as I wrote before in my first few posts, I didn't mention that the rubber suction-cup piece had cracked. I had to throw it away. I had decided that buying a new one wasn't going to work, seeing as I had tried and tried plunging. AND I was using the air...

The kitchen sink is still blocked. I did buy a 900 mL bottle of Pro-Strength Liquid Plumr (Full Clog Destroyer) and followed the directions on the label and did not exceed the (max) 30 minutes. I first emptied the pipe by blowing the water with the air compressor only for 6 seconds. Then i...

Hi Reach, Oh I see, now. The doctor reads tea leaves. Ok, that deserves a chuckle. Thank you

Hmm, this was not a funny joke. That , or I didn't get the punchline.

Reach, I've responded to you already. I have to re-ask my question so that others might see the last post where my question is. Thanks to all, for any advice. Robbie

Thanks to all, for any advice. Robbie

Hi, Actually, someone DID mention Zep gel, and I later asked the question pertaining to how could I get it down to the clog in the wall - either with the air compressor, or some other way. No one responded. I asked again - and again, a snake has been suggested, instead. I can afford a snake...

I officially timed how long it takes my Kirby vacuum to blow all of the water down the drain, and empty the wall pipe. It takes only 6 seconds. I've poured gallons and gallons of boiling hot water down the drain, let it sit, and then used the air compressor, and it's still clogged. Nothing...

Thank you, for that comment.

Hi, I've only spent $3.50 so far on ONE drain cleaner. The Mela Magic was given to me. I say it's "quick" compared to how it takes all night to drain only 1/3 of a cup of standing water. If I wash a sink of dishes and remove the stopper, the water would still be there in the trap even after...

Hi, Reach I was just wondering how rust can get inside the threads of two, connecting, threaded pipes. After reading Masterplumb777's last comment, I doubt I will try to remove the pipes to get to the wall. I don't want to risk damaging things. I put the system back together and I am trying...

I found the answer to this. Montreal stopped using lead in pipes in 1970.

Hi, Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Now I understand why I should not try "screwing" around with those pipes. This building was constructed in 1972. So that's 35 years. Wait a minute, though. I am just thinking, on the forum, as opposed to thinking out loud. Rust can't be...

Oh, really? Well, then, I hope you can enjoy this. I am not a professional musician. But i am a multi instrumentalist (my main instrument is guitar). I had the talent to be famous when I was younger but life happened and I had to live my life. I don't play hardly enough any more. I do go to a...
