    How to fix this sink drain leak

    Yes, under a window. Right now leak is just at the first elbow in the wall. But have a few neighbors with same type house, that have had the same problem in the past year. So makes me believe it is just past its life span, and I am worried about hidden leaks in the wall.

Ceramic style but still very high maintenance. Anyway realized I had maybe less problems years ago. with the old Delta that...

    If my main line is 3/4" would a 1" unit make a difference?

    Water filter compare

    I was actually looking for one WITHOUT a pressure relief. But I can get each model with or without. My reason was looking at reviews. It does seem sort of common for there to be a leak at the PR valve. So I figured one less thing to worry about. I will have the 3 valves for bypass. And...

    Cycle stop valve

    Sounds like I am overdue. And should just go ahead and buy the valve and tank kit. Wish I had heard about these sooner. Last year spent about 400 for a plumber to replace the tank manifold assembly /kit. One last question please. Crawl space is only about 22" high. Current tank was installed...

    Cycle stop valve

    How long do tanks last? Considering mine is about 15 years old. Would I be better with the tank & valve kit? What would most of you do. Thanks

    Cycle stop valve

    Do you happen to know what the depth requirement is. I think pressure is set around 52 psi. But it has been 15 years since I pulled the pump. Thinking it was 20 to 30 down into the well. The tank was either a 10 or 15 gallon Thanks

    Cycle stop valve

    Recently heard about these. have a small 2 bedroom house and never really had any problems. Very good well with submersible pump. Anyway any cons to these. More maintenance or anything. Just something that looked like would make pumps last longer and more even water pressure Thanks

    I would not put a smoke detector there. Unless you leave the battery out. To close to stove and will have nuisance alarms.

    Hi, Any tricks for removing a bent element. Today replaced some. These are the sort of U shape electric water heater elements. Bottom one took a few minutes to get out. Since would not fit out the hole. But not to bad and was able to stick in a long screwdriver and bend it back so it fit the...

    Well pressure tank

    To add a little more info. We did turn off the breaker but NO water was used. Because we first shut off the main valve that comes out the pressure tank right after the manifold. So the tank was isolated for the work we did. Is a steel tank with 1" galvanized elbow attached. Then about 10...

    Little advice please. Well water pex with brass fittings installed 15 years ago. Had only one fitting corrode and go bad. Rest look pretty good from what I can see. But pretty easy to change fittings out to the poloy fittings in this small 2 bed 1 bath house. My question is how to connect...
