    Old Sterling tub three handle set…bad seat?

    It’s me again, with another dilemma… Old tub/shower, with Sterling logo on the big handles. I pulled the stem out on one side, and in the back of the mixer valve was a small piece of “plastic” that came out with the stem. Looking inside it appears the back of the stem receptacle has a flat...

    Major rust now in our supply; odd plumbing

    Recently we’ve had some episodes of rusty water, mainly in toilets, but it would clear up in a day or so. This week, almost suddenly, it has started with a vengeance and not letting up.
