I had a Reliance water heater that lasted over 25 years. I figured since it lasted so long, it must be well made, etc. and got another Reliance to replace it. It lasted only 12 years. So what was...

Thanks Mark. I have a three handle valve in the shower, don't have any single handle faucets, so it is elsewhere. Where is the big question.

Thanks ma0641. I am on a well, so that makes me feel better, and knowing the TPV works manually. If the pressure did get too high, I would think that there would be some signs, such as some very...

Thanks for the responses. I don't know what the temp of the well water is, but it has been hotter than the door handle to Hell here the past week.

The plumbing is not in the attic, it is in the...

Just recently started getting warm water from the cold side of my faucets. Doing some research, I saw that a big culprit could be water-mixing valves on washing machines and single-handle faucets....

Sounds like "Noises Off". Made in 1992, it is a movie version of the actual play.

Looking to do a bathroom remodel. Going to put in a new tub/shower combo. Want a caulkless unit. Looking at Sterling and Aquatic A2. Sterling models are Accord or Ensemble Medley. Plumbing supply...

Thanks for all your help and advice. I didn't think 2-3# would make much difference. I'm not sure the depth of the well, but the pump is a two-line jet pump, 1/2 hp.

It has a longer cycle time now...

Got new flush valve installed yesterday and am still getting a higher drawdown after adding air to the tank. I agree it may be set at something like 34/54, but will adding 2# make that much of a...

I have been out of town the past several days, so today I did what jlisenbe suggested. I cut the power and drained the tank of water. I ended up draining between 6 and 7 gallons. I checked the...

Well I tried to replace the fill valve but couldn't get the nut loose from the supply as it was up against the nut holding the valve to the tank. I tried and tried to no avail, actually I was scared...

I am going to replace the valve rather than try to flush out debris, it has been in there quite a while. I'll provide an update on how that works. As far as pressure in well tank, there is no...

After having so much trouble with trying to stop a leak from 40 plus year old PE pipe, I had to bite the bullet and get a new line run from well to house using Schedule 40 PVC.

After everything...

Possibly a cover of "Too Shy" by Kajagoogoo? Big hit in the early 80's.

You are correct I don't have "credentials" and obviously I nor anyone else could diagnose this without a physical examination. A member of my family was diagnosed with this many years ago, so I have...

You say it's not visible, so you feel it inside the shaft? If so, it could be the beginning of Peyronie's disease, a formation of scar tissue inside the penis that can eventually lead to a curvature...

Thanks guys. Do you think I should use the pinch clamps (oetieker clamps?) as opposed to the snake clamps? The pipe coming into the tee and feeding back to house is the old PE, and it is hard as a...

After capping off a water supply line at the tee where it branched off to another building, I'm having a heckuva time trying to get small leaks stopped. First leak is where galvanized nipple with cap...

I saw a show on PBS about supplements and how there is no regulation of them and how a vitamin D 400 IU tablet could actually contain 5000 IU, or vice versa. Sometimes the supplement did not even...

Update: Plumber finally got back out, he dug pipe back (about a foot) and located the tee where it branches off from well and house to the mobile home. He cut the pipe and removed it from the tee and...

I dug a little further back and found 04KA PE-3306 PS-11-69 marked on pipe. According to my research that would be polyethylene. As far as barbed caps go, would it be better to use brass or PE? The...

Just recently had a mobile home removed and the water supply line had a shut-off valve on it and was shut off, but water came out when I opened valve. It was sticking up about 2 1/2 feet above...
