I recently pulled out all the 40+ year old galvanized water pipe and replaced it with 3/4 copper runs & 1/2 feed lines. Now my tub fills too fast. It used to take the better part of an hour (well, it seemed like it) to fill, now it's minutes.

Now I have to pay attention to it. What am I to do?

I can’t tell you how nice it is to have this "problem". :)

Better too fast then too slow, I see no problem.

If you want it to slow down, adjust the flow out the faucet.

Agewon,
Yup, you got it!!! It was a perfect example of why we have over-flow drains.

Plumber2000,
You're saying I've gotta be smarter than the tub? Somedays that's a stretch.
