Does it work when the faucet is walking?what kind of fauvet is it?could be a clogged diverter

thought the old one didn't seem to have much wear,try a plumbing supply house if they don't have one they can order it,also they need to be changed every few years so buy a couple extra and flush the tank yearly and it'll last alot longer

You don't want an aluminum anode rod only as that will smell to high heaven you need an aluminum/zinc one and the zinc is the key ingredient.The other cure is to put a couple pints of hydrogen peroxide in the tank and flush it out that will cure the problem until the next time the tank sits for...

Usually they come in magnesium from the man.Two different styles in the photo also,are you installing two of them?You should also drain the tank and get as much of the deposits out of it as possible and even pull the boiler drain to flush out the big chunks.

this is a backflow preventer for probably an irrigation system.the quarter ports are for when the check valve is tested.Has this ever been tested?If not you need to contact a backflow tester and have this tested before any more work is done to it.It may need to be replaced entirely or rebuilt.

Bio Clean is great stuff,just have to let the customers know not to run antibacterial agents down the same drain,spit the mouthwash into the toilet and change soaps.Easy way to stay green.:)

Why didn't they just leave the jack underneath that continous mess to hold it up instead of laying it on the bottom of the cabinet and really show the pro's something?Wonder where the drain for the dishwasher goes?Oh yeah and something about a stove?:eek:

Replacing the gate valve with a ball valve will help,but why not just shut off the washer bibbs? Also replace the washing machine hoses with fluidmaster braided "no burst" washing machine hoses for peace of mind.;)

Turning the valves down will just restrict the flow and not cure the problem.High water pressure affects every fixture in the house so check the pressure if it's above 80 psi,install a PRV and and a thermal expansion tank on the water heater.:eek:

not over 80 psi is where the static pressure in the house should be, a pressure reducing valve is how to lower the pressure and lots of references to them on this forum.Listen to NHMaster grasshopper.

Europlumber is right,to much stress on the parts.Moen has the same problems on their widespread faucets.The stem could be to stiff or to much pressure when turning off the stem.These are almost a one finger type of system when turning off.

Yeah I would,like I said this is more of a commercial application for large hotels and apartments that don.t want to tear up the walls and go through a large repipe,The other problem is if a repair or add is made to copper lined pipes the heat from soldering turns the epoxy to goo and if you...

I worked for a for a company that did epoxy relining,more of a large commercial application than a residential application.The sand blasting can scour the pipes out so that there are leaks,especially at the threads,the epoxy can close up at tees and nineties,Takes a lot of feel to do the job...
