I might consider just cutting the hose midway up, insert the Wye RO adaptor on the down slope. Rather than connecting close to the disposal tube inlet, just connect into the same hose but higher up? Seems like a good idea to my small brain? Or I make the low point worse? Haa, shooting at the...

I saw this post, which is seems you have done some thorough homework on this, so this is probably not helpful and you probably already read this. But is was about replacing your check valve. Seems like one of those things that still probably will not fix it, but thought I would point this out...

I recently learned of a scenario where a gentleman has a well, he also had an acid neutralizer he added media to raise the PH for his copper pipes. They learned that the entire home was clogged with media. I suppose it is was calcite, but that should dissolve in water I was thinking and not...

Yeah I think you are right. I was reading more about my adapter and there was a recommendation to install a check valve. So all these points bring up some insight I never thought of. But there is a check valve in the RO system at the waste line output. I saw this three way air gap which I...

The RO manufacture does recommend installing this specific RO adapter, to connect inline with the disposal dishwasher input carrying drainage from the RO. But I can double check on that here. However taking the RO through the air gap is interesting.

Interesting I have never considered the option of drinking city water over RO water if I had the option? Pushing city water through a filtration process, carbon block, then a membrane to filter just your drinking water seems like a consideration many of us should explore now and in the future...

Also, if anyone happens to have any thoughts on the RO adapter I have here. Is this really something a plumber would do here and considered as it seem like alot of hose clamps for this and parts. So here is the recap. 3" length of the black 7/8 tube this is connected to the Drain tube coming...

Could I just get a new 7/8 drain line that is coming from the air gap, heat up a bend to give it a sweep 90. All while maintaining proper drop. I could configure my RO adapter after the 90.

Can you help me understand how to connect a copper long sweep to the plastic barbed dishwasher tube connector coming out of the disposal. Maybe I can kill two birds with ones stone here.

( When reading this, please understand I am not open to using a drain saddle, I despise them, and refuse to use them, so if you could work with me knowing that caveat.) I was considering use my RO drain adapter which is a Y and does have a 3/8th push connector. My photo make it look like a a...

When I run a bathroom faucet, which is 40 feet away form the WH, after all the hot water in that line empties, it never gets hot again. After 5-6 minutes of testing, I noted that even if I turn the faucet off and on again after a minute, the WH always remains silent, and the faucet runs cold...

The simplest way I can think on how they have explain it. The Hot water line is not isolated from the cold water line. The cold water line is however isolated from the Hot water line via a check valve. So when you turn on the cold water line, there is nothing preventing the hot water line...

There are so many great ideas here! It's good to hear that hot water isn't necessary for laundry; I suppose I should have started looking into that earlier. One thing I read about is the under-sink bridged circulation pumps used with tankless water heaters. When users turn on the cold water...

Thanks for the link, I have used recir pumps at my last location and I loved them. If anyone is reading this, just remember that if you have pex, sometimes they will run home run lines to a manifold. So a recir pump may not work for everyone. Something I am well aware of. But it will work...

Hey everyone! I have a question about my tankless water heater and how it may perform with a front-loading washing machine. I’ve mentioned before how our tankless system takes a bit longer to deliver hot water at the faucet compared to what I was used to with a traditional tank. While I won’t...

how would I slide this open?

OK, thanks for the heads up

We want to update our dual bowl sink with a single bowl sink. The counter is cut out as an oval shape with curved corners. I am not sure where to start with what type of sink that we can use. Can I cut this quartz or should I stick with this shape? Is this a job for a contractor. What do...

I am trying to learn about my furnace. I have this RUUD furnace in a place we just moved to, I think the furnace is from 2016. We have an intake air return in the hallway we change out the filter for. The filter looks as clean as it went in when I swap it every 10 weeks. I was looking around...

We do not have a water softener
