To make floor height the same, we need 1/8 inch backer board for shower floor (the whole assembly is thinset over radiant warmboard like ply with pex tubing; then backer board 1/8, then Lataicrete Hydro waterproof crack isolation membrane, then thinset, then tiles.) The whole assembly needs to...

In an all-electric house somehow I can only use electric water heater or electric boilers. If I only have 20Kw to spare - what options do I have?

I am looking for an electric boiler to supply heat to in-floor low temp water-based hydronic heat (58,000 BTU heat load - 2,400 square fee). I also need a source for domestic hot water. Combomax 50 @20kw by Thermo2000 seems to be too weak on the DHW side. Thermolec or Electric industries 20Kw...

For a new build, I would prefer to have copper water supply (and possibly cast iron wastewater). Had it done 15 years ago in a different house in a different state and liked it. Current climate is harsher - Ontario (Canada). Is there a concern about either? I suppose it matters less for...

Thank you very much! We are using 2x6.

For Toto WT172M there seems to be only 6 compatible toto bowls: RP, SP, AP, EP, MH and MH Connect+ (T20) But have anyone tried using Toto wall carrier with non-Toto bowl? Does it even make sense? I saw Geberit chart which shows the same Geberit carriers compatible with both, but I am wondering...
