    Used water softeners

    I've been watching classifieds for used softeners, wondering what "magnitude of stupid" am I if I chase this route. I've been looking for setups with valves that I recognize. I see a lot of the offbrand chest setups that I'm not really interested in, but then I see some clack ws1 models with...

    Rural water - doing things right

    Hello, I have a place on rural water that I ripped out the water heater, canister filter, and old water softener. The canister appeared to have become a bacteria farm from sitting too long and the softener was very 1970's and didn't appear to have been serviced ever. The hot water had a very...

    Disconnecting water heater from LP and plugging shutoff valve

    I am disconnecting a water heater that met with an unhealthy demise. Basically the bottom of the heater rusted out and it is now starting to tip. I'm afraid that even if I tried to prop it up that it could fall over and break the gas line. I was tempted to just disconnect after the shutoff...

    week vacation, now hot water is a pretty weak

    I am looking for ideas, I have an 11 year old electric water heater. It's most noticeable when I take a shower, I have to throw it to full hot just to be able to stand the water. I was gone for a week, no one using the water for a week. Random other thoughts, the bathroom faucet was reacting...

    Iron problems

    are you surprised? Skipping past the details, I have a problem with iron, and one of the other problems I believe is tied to it (and what prompted me to post) is the smell of my laundry... it's terrible. I browse web sites, mostly commercial, and they all seem to have their own word on how...
