There is something called a water pressure tank that does just this. We used to keep a 250 gallon plastic tank filled with water that we brought in from offsite. This was connected to a pressure...

Hey, this is a familiar problem! We had the same issue especially after the water softener went in. Replaced the anodes as suggested which helped some, but the water was coming out with spurting when...

Look at Jetta tubs. They used to make a model called WaterDance "Soothing Falls" which seems to be discontinued. I tried one out in California on a visit to Tubz, and it was the most comfortable tub...

I've been struggling with contaminated well water for a while. Problem is, we live in karst topology, so there are many sinkholes and caves. In fact, my well had to be cased through a couple of cave...

I've always wanted one of the washlet type seats from Toto. The heated seat . . . the warm water . . . the air dry . . . seems so wonderful. Especially since I hope to age in place, and put off the...

I saw this quite a bit on my trips to Japan, and it makes sense to me. Yes, the face masks don't provide hospital-quality protection. But they do provide SOME protection, especially if you are the...

Oh, you made me laugh. Yes, many people think Norton is as bad as the average virus! That was succinct and funny. Unlike my long ramble below:

Since the dawn of IP time, anti-virus software has...

Your site is beautiful. I am very impressed! The only comment I would offer is that the gallery page is very slow to load, due to the large number of graphic files. It displays the scroll bar, and...

Well, I don't have a Mustang, but can offer some backup advice. Unless you just enjoy doing it, don't try to do RAID at home. RAID is great for business data centers and network file servers, where...

This forum is too valuable a resource to lose to hurt feelings. I bet that for every one who posts a question, there are at least ten, if not a hundred, people who come and get the answers they need....

Ah, good point. I am good to go with shrinkage for the floors and showers, but backsplashes I haven't figured out yet.

For those who aren't familiar with log construction, most of the settling in...

The whole thread kind of got off track. My fault, I should have left it at the well-disinfecting and moved the UV question to the other forum. I'll go ahead and move over there. I don't know if one...

Thanks for all the good advice...the last post cracked me up! Yes, it's a good shower base, but it's just temporary. We're building a log house - well, the crew erected the logs, and the roofer put...

That's great info. As a "lay person" it's hard to know what things are do-able and needs help. I found out I can do tile floors just fine - as well any I have seen. But I wouldn't try to set my own...

Don't want to cause any ruckus ...

Terry says it's OK for people to market their work here if it doesn't compete with his, I believe. It would be rather rude to take business from the person who...

Thought I'd give everyone a good laugh. Except I'm serious: we currently heat the house with a good-sized Hearthstone wood stove, but it cools down overnight and takes a long time to warm the house...

I wish we'd got the softener from you instead of the fly-by-night outfit that we used. Reckon we can take this off line, but we do need one. Right now we're filtering water we bring from out of town...

When you say the drain connects to two downspouts, what do you mean? Are two downspouts from the roof gutters tied into the garage drain system? Or are you saying the drain ties in to other pipes in...

I put in my first tile floor this year and it went great. I put down cement board, mortar bed, tiles, laid it all out square and bedded everything level like the book said. It went totally well. The...

Just an update in case anyone else runs into the same issue. We have a 400 ft + well and it's drilled into karst topology - that means caves. There are lots of caves where we live, and lots of...

He won't tell me the price, says he deleted the email, other than to say it was cheaper for the whole package. But their service was terrible. They did give us a brine tank that looks to be 48" high...

Thanks, both of you. We just got around to ordering the softener this month and installed it this weekend. Took a while to set up the plumbing to be ready. Programmed it using a Clack manual from...

Thanks Gary, you are the best. This post should get a sticky note because I am sure other people have the same problems as I do, and the directions we find on most state web sites are not nearly this...

We have a deep (400 ft) well, drilled last year. Water has always been crystal clear, but hard. We haven't really used much water until recently installing a shower and toilet (talk about luxury...

Hey, thanks to all the help and advice from you guys, the water softener is installed and running! Seems to all be working properly. But we were a bit confused by the regeneration calculations.
