LOL, you two guys should get a room together and spend all your spare time giving each other unsolicited advice.

Hey smart guy, read the OP again and see that not a single "input" you made is remotely related to my question. Hint: When I ask how long you've had it and how reliable it's been, it's addressed to people who have actual experience with it. And just in case you had trouble with that, I also said:

Hahaha, let me guess... you're a Rheem dealer? Does Rheem have a 60-70 gal 75kBTU power vent heater?

Ok, well, that's sediment, but still no. We don't have hard city water anywhere in my area and I've never heard of rumbling tanks. I was not aware that municipal water systems allow hard water to go out untreated. Perhaps we're just lucky.

Hey John, none of that has anything to do with my question, but I'll play along since nobody seems to have the info I need. 1. "Lime" and "calcium" are actually inaccurate names. Mineral deposits (scale) are mainly composed of calcium carbonate, calcium sulfide and magnesium hydroxide. I don't...

Mark, thanks for the comments but I am looking for feedback on that specific unit. As to the Marathon, I am not looking for electric heaters. And I beg to differ with your comment that they all fill up with lime. Maybe you have a lime problem in Indy, we don't. My own current heater is well...

LOL. if he had a gas leak and then heard a big bang, I think he might be looking for a new house... That is partially true but misleading. A heat pump water heater pumps heat from the room air to the water in the tank. This is great if you are in a hot climate and you need to cool the inside of...

https://www.htproducts.com/phoenixldwaterheater.html Looking for feedback from any long term users. These are expensive heaters, but with 316 stainless tanks should last a lifetime. Do they? Let me know how long you've had them and how reliable they've been.

Does anyone know of a good quality handheld shower head that is no more than 3"-3.25" head diameter and 2.5gpm? Not having much luck with the head diameter as a search term.

Problem solved. After much experimenting I couldn't figure out why it was leaking, so I replaced the original Kohler slant flush valve with a universal Fluidmaster 2" flush valve. No more leaking. I examined the Kohler valve (and the blue flapper, which was new) closely and I can't see...

I tightened it with an adjustable wrench like this, used on edge. Yes it's a bit hard to get to the nut and Kohler should provide a plastic wrench with the kit...

No, the flush valve is not cracked, I had it out and inspected when I replaced the tank to bowl gasket. And the flush valve bottom seal was replaced with a new one.

There is slack in the chain. You can see it in my picture in post #3. What is a "compromised" flush valve? What am I looking for?

Very good point. It was only a couple hours when I took the photo. Will flush a few more times and wait longer each time just to see if it does the same thing consistently. I don't believe the red Korky will fit this valve, it takes the blue one with the float marshmallow. No there are no...

I'm not sure I follow you. What do you mean "where it's leaking from"? It's leaking from the tank into the bowl, that's why the tank is left empty. I don't understand what food coloring would tell me that I don't already know.

Nothing is cracked, I had it all apart and examined carefully. Flapper is new, just installed it, looked fine. Chain has some slack so it's not pulling the flapper off the seat Bad flush valve assembly, how would it be bad? Somehow distorted or out of round? I see no physical defects. Edit: I...

Kohler Wellworth 2 piece toilet, about 20 yrs old, 1.6gal. It's in the basement bath so rarely used. I just replaced the tank to bowl gasket and bolts, the blue flapper with the float thingie and I also put in a Fluidmaster "leak sentry" fill valve. Everything works fine but the tank is empty...

Ok, I did find several manufacturers who combine the condensate pump and neutralizer chamber. Also found an additional question. As far as the media, it appears that magnesium oxide and hydroxide offer better performance than calcium carbonate, but I'm still looking for some objective data, not...

As far as I know, all neutralizer kits are just sealed containers full of chemical pellets. If there are other types, please let me know. Questions: 1. Do they flow well under just gravity or do they need the water pressure provided by a condensate pump? In other words, will they work with a...

Thank you. Exactly what I was looking for. Both of those types will do. Much obliged.
