Hello, I recently pressure tested my lines at the faucet nearest the main line from the street. The pressure on the ORBIT gauge reads 45PSI. Isn't the average pressure supposed to be between...

Hello, I recently added tile to 2 bathrooms. The tile was laid down around the existing flange to where the tile now sits flush with the top of the flange.

The old toilet sat on the same flange...

Hey, well actually now I don't think my return line ever gets below 85 degrees. Probably b/c I always have my water heater set at 140 degrees. So now I'm thinking of getting the higher temp model...

Thanks. It was installed on the return line for the WH, right above the recirculating pump. I'm assuming it must be for the recirculating pump, so I'm thinking I might as well remove the little...

Hello, I'm trying to figure out if I need the check valve already installed on my recirculating pump or not. I can't tell if this (pic) is actually a check valve already installed on my WH return...

Thanks hj. I was thinking 115 degrees was really too hot. The recirculating pump on the return line is right next to the water heater and that 1/2" copper pipe I don't think would ever reach 115.

Hello, I'm trying to find out which would be the best aquastat option for my recirculating pump on my water heater (dedicated return line).

Thermostatic Controls (2):
The Low temp model switches...

I wouldn't think 5' of 1/2" pipe would make any difference in heat delivery. How old is your WH? BTW: CWH would be more accurate than HWH (WH is the accurate term). If your WH is older than 13...

Thanks for the replies. Sorry forgot to mention the WH and expansion tank are new (recently installed), only the 20 year old GRUNDFOS was transfered over from the old leaking WH.

Hey, I have a 75 gallon Bradford White natural gas WH and have questions about my GRUNDFOS recirculating pump. It is a 20 year old (UP 15-18 SU) model. Is the best way to install these by tying...

Hey, I just took a tour of some new upscale model homes recently and saw that their TOTO toilets are made in VIETNAM (opened the lid and said on inside of the bowl). They are a two piece toilet 1.6...

Thanks for the review!!! I was looking at this toilet as well for my 30 unit apartment building, current toilets are 20+ years old. Have you run into any issues with flushing power? How does this...

I don't like the part about the TOTO's not flushing liquid waste completely (according to CR). Is this true about the TOTO's not completely flushing liquid waste for those of you that own one of...

Hi all, I'm trying to figure out what is the best recirculating pump to get? I have seen recirculating pumps at LOWES and ********* which say WATTS but made by GRUNDFOS. I have always heard that...

Just got a new water heater and the plumber insisted that all recirculating pumps should now be installed to recirculate hot water down at the drain valve instead of on top of the water heater. Is...

My STATE water tank just recently died on me after 24 years, started leaking from the bottom. I was in the same boat as you having a large whirlpool tube and 2 1/2 baths. I was looking at all the...

Hello, well my 20year old STATE water heater is now leaking so I have to replace it. I see in here that many like the Bradford White water heaters.

I figured out my FHR is 48, being a 3 bedroom...

LOL, well I figured it out myself. The valve after the PVB (pressure vacuum breaker) was actually a drain valve (hence water filling up tube), so all I had to do was turn it clockwise (shut) and all...

Hello, I'm trying to lengthen the usable life of my water heater by replacing the anode rod (ZINC?) and using an angled fill (dip) tube (to really get all the debris out).

Problem is I can't get...

Well looks like the main irrigation shutoff valves are right before the PVB (pressure vacuum breaker) and then right after it. What is the sequence for turning on the water without the water filling...

Hello, I have a 20+ year old house with everything RAINBIRD. I'm having trouble turning on the water after the system was winterized (first time trying this).

I have 3 zones with 3 antisiphon...
